Small-Thompson Machine Is
Beaten in the Illinois
G. O. P. Primary.
cp,
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
ISGUSTED and indignant citizens
of Ilnois gave the Small-Thomp-
son-Orowe machine a terrific wallop-
ing In the Republican primaries and
felt that they had in a measure re-
deemed the state and especlally the
city of Chicago. Governor Small was
defeated for renomination by Secre-
tary of State Louis L. Emmerson by
a majority of more than 400.000, and
State's Attorney Crowe
was beaten by John A,
nearly 195.000 votes
whom the United States senate re-
fused to seat after his election last
year, went into the discard, the sen-
atorial nomination being won by Otis
F. Glenn of Murphysboro. Big Bill
Thompson, mayor of Chicago, protag-
onist of the “America First” ecam-
paign and relentless enemy of King
George of England, sought only one
office, that of cOommitteeman for his
ward, and the voters denled him even
that. The same fate befell President
of the Board of Education Coath who
carried out Thompson's orders to dis-
miss Superintendent of Schools Mec
Andrew.
In congress and
satisfaction was expressed over the
renomination of the veteran Repre-
seatative Martin B. Madden of Chl
cago, long one of the most useful and
industrious members of the lower
house. His constituency has become
almost wholly negro, but he decisive-
ly defeated his colored rival For
congressmen-at-large the Republicans
gamed Mrs. Ruth Hanna MeCormick
daughter of the late Mark Hanna and
widow of Senator McCormick, and HH.
R. Rathbone, dropping Congressman
Dick Yates. The voters of the state
showed strong preference for Lowden
as Presidential nominee and he will
have at least forty-nine of the state's
delegates at Kansas City.
Illinois Democrats put through a
slate practically uncontested and by
their preference votes determined
that Al Smith will have fifty-two sure
Illinois votes In the Houston conven-
tion, and he may get fhe entire dele-
gation of fifty-eight.
One murder of a negro and several
kidnapings and assaults marked the
Chicago primaries, but the picture of
a saturnalia of slaughter and other
crimes presented in the press of Lon-
don and Paris was scarcely justified
by the activities of the gangs of thugs
that worked for both the Republican
factions.

Vermont will send a solid delegation
to the Republican convention in-
structed for President Coolidge. Most
of Nevada's delegates will be for
Hoover, and so will all of Michigan's.
Despite the progress made by the
Hoover campaign, there were signs
of increasing opposition to the nomi-
nation of the secretary of commerce.
After a tour of Indiana and the corn
belt, Representative Dickinson of
Iowa, Republican and one of the agri-
cultural leaders of the house, pre-
dicted that if Hoover were the Re:
publican nominee Indiana would go
Democratic In the fall, and other
states of the Midwest, normally Re-
publican, might follow suit. Some of
the party leaders In Washington are
beginning to suspect that Hoover may
