In Illinois Medill McCormick, on the face of partial returns, has de- feated Willlam Hale Thompson, Chi- | cago’s antl-war mayor, by a majority of more than 70,000 in a three-cor- was himself tor. In Georgla Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, candidate for renomina- tion, was defeated by William J. Har- | ris, formerly Trade Commissioner, solely on the issue of Senator Hard- wick’s alleged opposition to President ‘Wilson’s war aims and methods. In this case the President had interfered successfully in behalf of Harris by writing a letter of indorsement for his former subordinate. It adds one more | victory to the mixed record of suc- cesses in the Executive interferences | in behalf of the loyalist candidates in the various primaries. Republican leaders in Washington are jubilant over the success of Rep- | resentative McCormick. They hold ! that his victory over Mayor Thompson | who admitted that he was against the war because Chicago next to Berlin, was the largest German city in the world, is a clean cut win out for the relentless Speaking for the Republicans Senator Lodge, tlie Republican leader, said last night: “The result in Illinois is a source of deepest gratification and it is espe- cially pleasing that Mr. MecCormick got such a tremendous majority.
