CHEAGD 70 ELECT MAYOR TOMORROW Thompson and Cermak Camps Both Confident; Cam- paign Comparatively Quiet. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 8.—Who is going to be: Chicago's World's Fair mayor? One more day of a bombardment of words and the voters will decide the question tomorrow, choosing between William Hale Thompson, Republican, and Anton .J. Cermak, Democrat, im- migrant Czechoslovakian, who came up from coal mining to a position of power in_politics. i Confidence radiated from both sides as the rival candidates pushed their Sunday. Cermak told his audiences he felt he would win by the largest vote ever given a mayoralty candidate in Chicago. At the same time he an- nounced that if he is elected he would resign from his office as chairman of the county board before becoming mayor. ‘Thompson headquarters issued a statement in which Mrs. Bertha Baur, Republican national committeewoman, was quoted as saying he would be re- elected by from 100,000 to 125,000. ‘Whatever the result, it is bound to be unusual in Chicago politics. If Thompson wins, it will give him'a longer term than any of his predeces- sors, as he already has served thrice as mayor. If Cermak is victorious it will put into the mayor's chair for the first time a man who was not born in North “America. . Has Served 12 Years. Thompson has served 12 years. So did Carter H. Harrison, jr.—four two- year terms and a four-year. The first Carter Harrison, assassinated on_the | closing day of the 1893 ‘World's Fair, served 10 years—five two-year terms.

He was & puj of the late Roger Sullfvan and inherited the toga of leadership upon George E. Brennan's death. But one other mayor was not born within the present borders of the United States. Joseph Medill, editor of the Thicago Tribune and one of the sponsors of Abraham Lincoln's presidential cam- paigns, was born near St. John's, New Brunswick, and became mayor in the post-Civil War days.

Its pleasant, extra-clean scent— that vanishes as you rinse—tells you, “No danger of ‘B.0.” now!” When business is slack, employers be- come more critical.

But we're far too likely to trust to luck that we won’t. “Surely I'd notice it my- self if I did,” we argue. All wrong! The offender is always the last to realize this fault, because we so quickly become used to an ever-present odor. We shouldn’t take chances of offend- ing those we can’t afford to displease.
