Chicago, March 14. An unprece
dented situation In Chicago politics is
presented by the filing of the five
major tickets In the municipal campaign
for aldermanic seat. One hundred and
seventy-five politicians are striving to
gain the 35 positions to be filled.
The Republican and Democratic par
ties are agreed upon their respective
platforms. There Is no Issue except por- j
fconal cholco between them. The pro
hibitionists seek to get in political con
trol so they can close the saloons.
Hearst's Independent leaguers promise
number of seml-soclallstic reforms.
Their strongest plea is to the voters to
emancipate themselves from profes
sional politicians, who have so often be
trayed them. The socialists purpose to
establish city ownership of utilities, the
expenditure of taxes to furnish employ
ment to the unemployed, industrial
schools and a general reform of the en
tire municipality.
It is conceded that the Republicans
or Democrats will elect nearly if not
quite all the aldermen, although recent
agitation has .Introduced an element of
doubt as to the ability of their candi
dates to defeat the Socialists In wards
Inhabited principally by worklngmen.
Leaders -are advising the followers to
vote the Socialist ticket, and most san

political surprise as startling in its
character as That of the London elec

Why CongTess Appealed.
"Upon my first general view of this
aspect of the case I became impressed
that the attorneys for the government
should adopt and pursue one Dplicy,
and it is mv hooe that congress will
take the same view and that nothing
will occur to waste, waive or In any
wav Impede any of the government's
remedies. Forfeiture will be the one
most likely and most substantial rem
edy. The department of justice felt It
self in duty Douna to see mac cms
remedy was not waived. On examina
tion it became extremely doubtful if
the attorney general would claim for
feiture without authority or congress.
The constitution commits the disposi
tion of the public lands to congress, and
a claim of forfeiture Is included in that
power. If the attorney general can
claim forfeiture, he can waive forfeiture.
Therefore, the attorney general applied
to conrress to remove the doubt and au
thorize the claiming of forfeiture. The
attorney general simply asks permission
to preserve an tne rignts or tne government.!
Purchasers not Afzeotea.
"In other words, the situation is
simply this: The people of the United
States ask permission to apply to one
of their courts to adjudicate and en
force their rights. What private in
terest shall presume to impose terms?
This resolution does not affect pur
chasers from tho railway company. The
remedy against these purchasers, If
any, is to have their deeds declared
void, The attorney-general has full
authority against these purchasers,
without the resolution. No remedy nor
any right is conferred by the resolution
which affects purchasers. The sole ef- i
feet of the resolution is to authorize1
