Ran- some, now counsel for the Consoli- dated Gas Company, end Leonard M. Wallistein, counsel for the Citizens’ | Union, and “while it pretends to sup- port municipal ownership, its hidden and real purpose is to strangle it.” His chief objections to the measure are in the extraordinary power given |to the Public Service Commission. “Under this proposed bill,” said Mr. Burr, “municipal ownership cannot move without the consent of the Pub- jlic Service Commission, which pre- \conditions and regulations it may xist. “Further, the bill not only gives the | |Public Service Commission control jover municipal ownership and opera- tion of public utilities, but it gives the |Commission the power of an absolute veto against it.

CHICAGO, Feb, 26.—Mayor Thompson, Republican, was nominated yesterday for re-election in the municipal primary by a plurality of 39,946 over Chief Jus- tice Harry Olson of the Municipal Court, with Charles BE. Merriam running & poor third. The loyalty issue, whick played a con- siderable part in the campaign, appar- ently did not affect the Thompson vote. ‘The Mayor seems to have captured the German vote. County Clerk Robert M. Swottzer, the regular Democratic candidate, came home an easy winner over ‘:homas Carey, with an estimated plurality of 60,983. Sweitzer was Thompson's oppo- nent four years ego. The percentage of registered women voting in the primary was 58, while the percentage of registered men voting Was only 56. ‘The Socialists named John M. Collins as their mayoralty candidate.
