' On tbe Democratic side there are In dications that some of the factle will be harmonised and brought Into line for Carter Harrison. John M Carthy. chairman of the Democratic County Committee, haa Issued a formal statement. In which he declared that the regular organization, controlled by Roger Sullivan. National Committee man. would support all nominees. in the face of thla statement, how ever, la the fact that the Hearst or ganlzatlon. which la back of Harrison Is losing no opportunity to make war on the Sullivan camp. It la generally realised that If Harrison Is elected Hearst will be the real power behind the throne. Heretofore Mr. Harrison haa Imported bla prime minister, in the person of Edward LahKf. from Ireland, but If elected thia lime the Hearst or ganlzatlon will In all probability dic tate who shall alt In the Mayor'a con fidence and be the official spokesman. There are no surface Indicatlona that the Graham faction la exerting Itself to rally under the Hearst-Harrison banner. Judge Dunne, former Mayor, and who gave Harrison a heartbreak ing race in the primaries, la contest Ing the result, and hla numerous fol lowers are denouncing the Hearst-Har rison combination, it la problematical whether all these factlona can be brought Into line for Harrison. Sev era! Dunne and Graham leaders have called at beadquartera and pledged their support to Harrison, but this does not mean that they assume to apeak for all their followers. Merriam Wonld Enforce Laws. There does not seem to be any dls affection In Republican ranks, but among the "liberal" element there la the feeling that Merriam Is too straight and able to be trusted aa Mayor. He would enforce the laws. He haa announced that It la hla policy to divorce tbe police from politics. H holds that the police pay too much at tention to saloons and gambling, with out getting results. jaerriara mienda to give his oppo cent a swift run In the campaign. Hla election managers will make a house to-house canvass, which will continue until Marrb II. the final day for regis tration. Every home and lodging-house In the city will be visited and the voters urged to register. It Is hoped 10 onng out all tbe lazy" votera Gov. ernor Deneen's forces, which were for John K. Thompson in the primaries, hsve swung into line fur Merriam. Mayor Buase and his Important ma chlnery la also aligned with Merriam. nd the Smulskl headquarters have been continued aa a Merriam camn. All the reform associations and the leading ministers and bualneas Inter ests are bark of Merriam. but he will have to contend " with the "personal liberty- element, which la very strong. nd all the forces the Hearst organiza tion can muster. It also Is likely that " majority or me labor organlza lions wt:i be found In the Harrison camp, a.mouna the leaders are friendly -uerrimm. ana express great adml ration for bis fair and honest record.
