ILLINOIS' FIRST DIRECT
PRIMARY HELD TODAY
Chicago, 111.. Aug. S. Today the
new primary law of Illinois is being
eiven Us initial test, the electors for
the first time in this state, picking
the candidates to go on the party
tickets by a direct vote, Instead of
leaving this task to delegates and
conventions. Scattered over the
State are something like 2,000 can
didates for nominations on the var
ious party tickets. For complexity
and intensity the contest Is without
parallel In the history of Illinois. For
weeks past every city, town and ham
let has echoed with the roar of
factional battle and been swept away
by the breath of partisan compaign.
Today the fight is sweeping to Its
close at the polls
Four big contests of great Import
are involved In the
political struggle,
They are:
The bitter fight between Governor
Charles S. Deneen and former Gov
ernor Klchard Yates for the Republi
can gubernatorial nomination.
The contest for United States Sen
ator, in which there are four candid
ates, with Senator A. J. Hopkins and
Congressman George E. Foss fore
most in the running.
The fight over the general assem
bly, In which the Legislative Voters'
League is maKing a aesperaie euon
to break up the senate combine and
the house machine.
The contest in Cook County (Chi
cago) in which Congressman William
Lorimer, through the Instrumental
ity of the Yates campaign, is seeking
to regain control of the Republican
party In Chicago.
In addition to these big senatorial
contests there are several others of
considerable magnitude. The demo
crates, confident that Bryan will
carry Illinois, are indulging In a
merry bout over the governorship
nomination. Their candidates are
Colonel James Hamilton Lewis of
Chicago, Douglas Pattlson of Free
port, Adlal E. Stevenson of Bloom
ington, Charles F. Gunther of Chi
cago, Judge E. Kinibrough of Dan
ville, and John P, McGoorty of Chi
cago. The Prohibitionists, exultant over
the outcome of the "wet" and "dry"
fight last spring are straining every
nerve to get a good representative in
the legislature in order that they
may hold the "balance of power" in
that body. The United Societies for
Local Self-Government are working
energetically In the various districts
with a view of electing representa
tives friendly to "personal liberty
and home rule" principles.
The spectacular race for the toga
of United States senator is one of the

THE KI CKNK
conspl.-io.is features t,f ,he cont.st.
The Republicans have four candid
ate. Of this number Scat,, I ,
Hopkins and Congressman liBirw p
toss are running a neck and neck
race. William K ..Mason, former -ator,
has been making an active cam
paign throughout the state for over
a year, but he Is believed by the prac
tical politicians to have been out-distanced
by the other two. The fourth
contestant is William G. Webster
who ran as "unknown" two vears ago
and received 12,000 votes. The Denio-
tianu cauuiuaies tor the senatorship
are Lawrence I). Stringer, condldate
for governor four years ago, and Ad
dison Dlakely of Chicago
ine Prohibitionists and SnHaiui
have state tickets in the field. En
gene w. unarm of Chicago, who is al-
u iub i-resiaenuai nominee, and
Daniel R. Sheen of Peoria, are the
Prohibition aspirants for the guber
natorial nomination. James H.
Brower of Elgin Is unopposed for the
head of the Socialist ticket. George
W. M'Caskrln of Rock Island is to
be the candidate for governor on the
Independence party ticket.
But of all the contests to be decid
ed by the primary the Deneen-Yates
struggle for the governorship is most
prominent. The so-called "machine"
is opposed to Deneen. The latter Is
standing on his record at Springfield
The opposition picked upon Richard
Yates as their slandard bearer.
The cry of the Deneen forces Is
that if Yates should become govern
or Congressman Lorimer would be
come the "boss" at Springfield. Lor
imer, who was fiercely denounced by
Yates two years ago, is again with
the former governor. Lorimer, In
fact, is one of the biggest issues of
the gubernatorial campaign. The
"Blond boss." as he is called, is one
of the wonderful products of Chica
go politics. A foreign immigrant
and a butcher boy in the stock yeards
Ire worked his way to the front until
he became the recognized leader of
the Republican party In Cook County.
He accumulated wealth and was sent
to Congress. A few years ago the op
position succeeded In downing him
for the time being, but he speedily
regained his feet and again returned
to Congress. He is a bitter political
foe of Governor Deneen and if the
latter succeeds at the primary elec
tion today, there will be little hope
i for Lorimer Influence being felt at
' Springfield. If Yates, on the other
1 hand, wins out against Deneen, Lor
I imer will be in a good way to real

I man in the Republican party in II
