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.

State's Chief Executive Points Oat
That Bulk, of the ' Reclamatloa
Fund Is Now Being . Expended in
Other States Than This, r
Governor Chamberlain in a apeclal
meaaage to the legislature makes vigor
ous protest against tha bill now before
congress repealing the timber and atone
act and providing that Utla to tha land
ahall remain In the government and the
timber .be sold to tha highest bidder.
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. He shows
that already 11.CO.I4I acres of Umber
have been put In timber reserves within
ths state, which covers one fifth ef the
total area of tha atate. Under tha law
it will be Impossible to foretell how
much additional land will be withdrawn.
In summing up he saya:
'at la Impossible to tell what great
Injustice may be done "the atata by thla
new act, and I suggeet that a ringing
protest be made by your distinguished
body against tha passage of any act by
congress which will retain in tha gov
ernment title to tha timber lands of
the state, not already included within
forest reserves, -- -, r-
"Whatever Is done in the premises
