On the County ticket there are no | complications, every evidence point- | ing to the appreciation of the people | that good candidates have been of- fered on the Loyalist ticket and a | determination in the thinking Re- | publicans to endorse that group of It is the Congressional and Senatorial §i- | the candidates for nomination. in tuation that there looms pos- | sibility of not quite smooth sailing for' 'the candidates will appear upon the primary ballot. | whose names Rumor comes from the down state | district that Congressman George E. | Foss is making progress in securing support, not a sufficiently persistent rumor to warrant a suspicion that the unexpected may happen and Mr. | Foss poll votes enough on eleventh of next month to place his name upon the ticket in the general election in November, but enough to produce some small degree of anxiety that he may, by his speak- ing tour in the central and southern parts of the state, turn votes enough from Medill McCormick to award victory in the primary to Chicago's mayor, suspected of pro-German sympathies, an event which, if not; anticipated, could have but one re- sult the return of James Lewis to the United State Senate. A large part of Congressman Fo popularity with the people outsi Cook county is his persistent cla to paternity of the American Navy because he chairman of the House Naval at the time the Great Lakes Training was Committee on Affairs station was born and the belief which he does not fail to foster that Medill McCormick, being himself a 1 very rich man, cannot have that de- tachment from wealth that the rural population would like to see in their | representative in Congress. Late developments in the Senator- ial race, then, signify that Foss is gaining just enough in the state out- side Cook nomination county to imperil the of Medill McCormick and to turn the balance in favor of William Hale Thompson. it is among the very easily prob- able things that in order to prevent the nomination of Maver Thompson, of Cook coanty politics into the hands with the consequent delivery 1 v of the "City Hall gang' and the +! timate election of Senator Lewis, who will be the Democratic nominee, it will be necessary for the Deneen and the Loyalist faétions to get to- gether on a neutral candidate, run him in the general election upon an Independent ticket, and, by combin- ing their strength, contrive to elect a man really qualified for the work | vp | Senator Lewis, for Mayor The | knowledge of war and war matters, | or James A.

To make such a program success- ful it will be necessary before August twenty-sixth for the petitions of both McCormick to be withdrawn, in order that in the elec- and Foss tion in November neither name ap- pear upon the ticket to draw votes from this neutral candidate running an Independent ticket. Nominally Thompson would thus be left as the Republican nominee, but when the final day of choice comes, those Re- publicans who stand to support the the Government Loyalist and the Deneen tickets | would cast their votes for the In- dependent candidate and the race would be really between him and mpson would draw little support from the electorate outside Cook county. TY - . : , ' y here are many men who have the qualifications for making such a race, such men as Harrison B. Ri- ley, who has already an intimate ! John G. Shedd, Julius Rosenwald, or any one of the business minds of great Chicago, would enlist popular support as well as warrant endorsement by the Re- publican leaders opposed to the Thompson candidacy.
