WOULD BE MAYOR OF CHICAGO - Many Candidates Seeking Nomi nation for First Four-Year Term as Executive, - HARRISON AND DUNNE " ' LEAD DEMOCRATIC HOSTS On Account of Factional Fights Among . Opponents, Republicans Hope for Success In Campaign " Which la Under Way. . (Jowsel Special service-) ' " Chicago, Feb. .Former Mayor Car ter H. Harrison, who has been spending tha winter In Pasadena, la expected home within the nexr few days. On his arrival the mayoralty" campaign, which is expected to be one of the warmest that Chicago haa aeen in many yea re, will be on tn full blast. - - For the first time In tha history of a city tha next mayor la to"b chosen' for a terra of four years. Tha length ened tenure Is In accordance with an act of tha legislature. Tha next mayor, moreover, will be tha first to adminis ter tha affair a of the city undsr a new chartsr. Tha. moat Interest In tha campaign centers la the fight for tha Democratic nooUnatioar-Mayor Dunns Has rermal-T ly announced himself a candidate for reelection on a platform of opposition Edyar Dunne. to the proposed Immediate settlement of the street- t franchise question. He wanta the' rehabilitation of the service postponed until after the mu nicipal election. . Former Mayor Harriaon, after con siderable delay, haa Anally declared hla willingness to be a eandldate for the flfth time, thereby emulating the ree- erd of hla father, tha elder Carter Har- rlson, who served five terms of two years each. Friends of Harrison ap pear Confident that he will win out in the Democratic primaries to "be held two weeks hence. The Harrison, crowd claim that the complications that have attended Mayor Dunne s course on the traction question hsve alienated many of his former followers. A factor In the contest not to be over looked la the Hearst Independence league, which, though not strong enough to aecpmpltsh much on Its own hook, still , possesses sufficient Influence to have tan Important bearing on the situ ation when It joins Issues with one of the other Democratic factions. Just where Its Influence will be thrown . in the present fight Is not yst clear. There la much reason to believe that It will ""' for Mayor Dunns to succeed I himself. Neither have the Hearat fol lowers much love for Harriaon. Faetloaal right Oa, There srs at leaat five factions among the Democrats and how the. full power of the party can be concentrated on any one man either at the primary or. at tha election, seems a difficult ques tion to answer. Because of this situation among the Democrats tha Republicans are more hopeful than for many yeara that they wiU be able to elect a mayor. Thia hope la ahown by the number of Re publican leaders who have expressed a willingness to accept the nomination. The most likely -candidate appears to be Fred A. Busse, present postmas ter of Chicago and a political power In several eclty wards. Mr. Busse is an avowed candidate for tbe honor- and many leaders of the party, especially I rthosewho"TiaVe""teen known as pol iticians, have openly expressed their preference for him. Busse owes his appointment as postmaster to Senator Cullora, which fact does not tend to strengthen him In the favor of Gov ernor Deneen and the state administra tion. But thla phase of the matter la not. expected to cut such an Important figure in the contest ag-ft might havS done a year of so ago. Tevor Bevell's STomlnatloa. " There Is . growing ' evidence that' the men who have been running the party machinery are not to be allowed to dictate the nomination for the mayor alty this time, regardless of the wishss of the business element of the city. Many Republicans, especially thoae outside the lines of Ihe professed poli ticians, are in favor of the nomination of Alexander H. Revell. Mr. Revell la a leading merchant, and . while not an active politician, haa always taken a prominent part in every movement, political or otherwise,, that aimed for the welfare of Chicago. Mr. Revell. while unwilling to uake a personal fight either at the prlmaiiea or In tha convention. Is nevertheless regarded aa a receptive candl'sste, and with the ex ception of Mr. liusse, ths msn most likely to receive the nomination. HEAVY HORSEFLESH .

The same committee from the senate con curs In the report and it Is now prac tically certain that the home will be fouinied and construction of the- build-1 lng commenced aa soon as a site can. be plcksd out by the state board. The approrplatlon of 1100,000 covers the estimated .cost of the grounds and building, and Inaamucb as tha commit tee calculated that one year would elapse before the home would be ready to open. It was thought best to cut the maintenance appropriation from 120,000 to (10,000, thus giving funds for a time sufficient to carry tbe institution until the time of the 10 legislature. At the same meeting the committees decided to allow the 'Drain Normal school 117,000, the Weston school 136, 000 and the Agricultural school $140,- 000. These sums oover appropriations for maintenance alone, the committees at this time declining to provide for new buildings, nsw grounds or other betterments for any ef the state schools and oollagea.

' WOULD PUT TITLE IN GOVERNMENTS HANDS State's Chief Executive Points Oat That Bulk, of the ' Reclamatloa Fund Is Now Being .

The bill provides that the funda arising from thla sale shall be turned Into the I rl,M tloit fund after SI par cent has been paid to tha county tn which the Umber la located to reimburse It for taxes lost through the government Own ership. Governor Chamberlain points out that Orsgon haa In tha past received prac tically none of the reclamation fund, tha great bulk of it going to Arliona, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Idaho and other states. . Under the proposed action of congress Oregon would therefore give practically It oar cent of ita timber to assist in the reclamation work of these states and would aecure only the If per cent allowed for loss In taxes.
