'BULLETS MAR THE CHIGAGD ELECTION (Continued From First Page) committeeman fights seemed to as- sume first place in the minds of Chicago voters. - ic Vote Heavy The democratic vote was reported unuauaily large for a primary, de- spite the fact thers were but few minor contesta. Early eatimates were that ap- proximarely 800,000 of the 1,221,000 vegintered votes would be cast, 689,. 0C0 by the repubitcans. ‘bond issuea. connection with today's vote on city Smaller rewards, rang- jing from $500 to $1,000, have been offered in various' ward fights by candidates who seek to learn the au- thorship of “whispering slanders” against them. (By United Press) For the republicans, these issues are at stake: 1.—Shall delegates friendly to former Governor Frank O. Lowden be sent to the national convention at Kansas City 80 as Lo assure Low- den of the backing of his own state for the presidential nomination; o: sha!l Mayor Thompson of Chieago— & bditter enemy of Lowden—be in control of the Illinois delegation, thus embarrassing Lowden when he appears at Kansas City without the l That the official reports might not $Ndorsement of his home state? fully reflect the situstion was seen in unoficiai reports that the police Were selzing workers of the Deneen faction and julling them without charges being placed. The most. trouble during early hourr was reported from the 20th ward where hoodluing were reported chesing voters away from the polls, Detective squads and election of- clals were sent to investigate condi- tions. A worker allled with the Senator Dencen republican organization was also reported kidnapped from one precinct in the 20th ward. A newspaper photographer, said he had been beaten by two women elec. Uon workers when he tried to take pictures, but added that a man came to thelr aid or they would not have succeeded in giving him 8 black eye, Foliccman Was Nuisance From one precinct came a report that & policeman was making a gen- ¢rrl nuisance of himself and from another a note was sent to the elec- tion commissioners in the county building by & judge who said the ballot box over which he presided was being stuffed but he was afraid to say anything about it. Despite the reports of disturbanc- es, mostly of & minor character, the election commissioners did not scem Lowden is the only presidential as. pirant whose name appears on the ballot, but Thompson hopes to have a delegation elected which will be willing to follow his leadership on ‘the floor of the convention. He has raired the insiatent cry of “Draft Coolldge,” but many belicve his chief hope is to be able to deliver the Illinois delegation wherever he sees fit. Small Question Up 3—Shall Gov. Len Small be the republican nomince for a third four- year term or shall the nomination g0 ta Louis L. Emmerson, now sec- retary of state? Small'a elght years in office have been filled with charges of corruption. He was tried and acquitted of charges of em- bezzling state funds and settled a civil suit out of court by agrecing to refund the state of Illinois more than a halt milllon dollars. But ha has been exceedingly popular in downstate Illinois because of the great network of paved roads built during his administration and he has now patched up his differences with Mayor Thompson and hopes to gain a majority in Chicago, where his personal hold is considered weakest. Emmerson has been in public life for many years and is perfurbed and stated there was no XKNOwn as one of the greatest vote more disorder in the early balloting than {n previous hotly contested elec. tions. Besldes 5,000 police on active duty at the polls more than 350 de- tectives armed with rifles waited at the county building to speed to any part of the city. A telephone report from an excit- ed woman reported trouble in a pre- cinct on the south side and a squad of police was hurried there while from a precinct of the 24th ward came a report that the judges were buay marking ballots and placing them in the boxes themselves, Verdon Arrested John Verdon, Thompson-Crowe candidate, for state representative, was arrested on complaint of a De- neen watcher who said he was beat- en by Verdon who had questioned his | credentials. At least one of the reported kid- rappings fizzled. Haffa, for whom his headquarters hunted all night in the belief that he had been kidnaped, was found by one of the 80 detective Bquads touring the city, fast asleep in a republican club in his ward. “Don’t shove any machine guns down the throats of the publie,” was the last minute advice of Deputy Folice Commissioner O'Connor to his men today, as they started their de- tail of poll protection. “Don’t mix in politier.

Smith, twice refused a [82at in the United Rtates senate, was iconfident. that he would win the re- ‘publican senatorial nomination to- day. | | winners in the state. In 1924—when the republican ticket swept the state by great majorities—Emmer- son led the ticket by more than 100,000 votes. Many political ob- servers believe Emmerson has a better chance than any of the other candidates of replacing those al- ready in office. U. S. Senator 3.—8hall Frank L. Smith, twice rejected by the United Btates sen- ate because of the public utility “slush fund” scandal, be retained once more to the doors of the sen- ate or shall the party nominate in s place Ots Glenn, a former state senator? Smith has appealed to the voters on the grounds that he was illegally kept from his seat in the senate and has asked the voters to assert themselves by electing him again. Glenn, mean- while, has capitalized Smith's re- Jection by the senate, has told the voters Smith will be rejected again, and has told the voters that ta re- elect Smith would mean Illinois must be represented by only enc man in the senate . 4.—Shall State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe be nominated as his par- ty's candidate for a third term or shall he be discarded in favor of Judge John Swanson, a close politi- cal friend of Senator Deneen? Crowe, who was elected to his sec- ond term {immediately after his vigorous prosecution of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb in 1924, is said by many to be the most pow “I am so sure of being sent back | “Tful member of the Crowe-Thomp- to the senate,” he said, “that 1 am , S0N-Small machine.

E. W, Christ at G. 0, P. Helm Chairman Willlam H. Judd of the republican town committee, who had mapped out the plan of cam- paign, was unable to participate ih the election day fight, being confined to his home by fliness. For several days be has been indisposed but it was his hope that his condition to- day would permit of his coming down to headquarters. His physi- cians advised against such a move and when the headquarters opened today Ernest W. Christ, a republi- can leader for many years, was at the helm, directing the forces of the G. O. P. in cooperation with At- torney Harry Ginsburg who has been acting chalrman in Judd'a ab- sence. On the democratic side of the political fence, an organization con- sldered to be the best the Jeffer- sonians have ever assembled put more than 100 automobiles on the road in the first two hours of voting. Headquarters were established in each ward with a corps of men and women workers. An innovation in the transportation scheme was not- ed today as the democratic cars ap- peared on the atreets, each bearing a numeral on the windshield. This system permitted of a ready check on where every car was working and headquarters reported the result to be maximum service from every car in use. Voting Starts Early in Sixth The heaviest early morning vote ever recorded in the sixth ward passed through the polling place in the first two hours, nearing the 500 mark. A walting line extended through the corridor of the Elihu Burritt school and down North street to Lee street. In the fifth {ward there were nearly as many electors who registered their prefer- ence hefore going to the factories. As has been the experience of third ward workers in other years, there was difficulty in getting out an early vote, but through the morn- ine hours there was increased ac- tivity and this afternoon it appeared that the percentage of votes cast to the voting liat would stand high among the six wards. A somewhat changed mode of at- tack was noticed in both camps to- day. In former years the republi- cans have ccntered their attack on democrats on the fifth an sixth, each relying on their strongholds to turn in 2 majority great enough to loffsct the other's vote. The second {and fourth districts which in other iyears have been left to “shift for | themselves” for the most part, were given just as much attention today |as were the stronger precincts, and {each party sought to make inroads into the strength of the opponents, {the democrast having strong ward organizations in the first and third, and the republicans so opportioning their vote.getting organization as not to slight the fifth and sixth dis- trict.

The fourth ward is being watched with interest due to the fact that it was carried by Paonessa four republican by little more than a scant 100 votes. Democrats were relving on the Johnson-Larson al. dermanic fight to Jeave unhealed sores which would result in an in- i creased number of republican votes belng cast for the democrats.
