AFTER THE BATTLE Notwithstanding all the praise Moriarity got from, the trust press for playing McCormick's game in the county board, Ragen beat him out in the vote. . Ham Lewis is now forSulIivan. He didn't do anything in the campaign to indicate that he was ever against him. Aleck McCormick will now have to decide whether he will run as a Pro gressive or a Republican. He got both nominations. You can't tell how Chicago will go at the election by how she went at the primaries. Many thousands didn't vote Tuesday. Judge Owens takes his medicine, says he was fairly beaten and will support Scully. The Red Cross isn't around during a political war, so the dead and wounded will have to take care of themselves. The fact that thousands of women didn't vote at the primary is no re flection on their intelligence. Those who didn't vote are free to vote as they please at the election, and any ticket they please to vote at next year's primary The H.-H. outfit lost Owens, but they saved Traeger 'for sheriff, Horner for probate judge, Clohesy and McNally for sanitary trustees, Reinberg for president of the county board, Walleck for assessor and Mc Inerney for appellate court clerk. The Sullivanites got treasurer, county clerk, criminal court clerk, school superintendent, ctiunty judge, board of review, one assessor, one sanitary trustee, three county com missioners and six municipal judges. Besides the ones given above, H.-H. got five county commissioners and two municipal judges. Frank Buchanan beat Dolan for cotfgress in the 7th by 8,932 to 3,975. Oscar Nelson, state factory inspec tor, got the Democratic nomination for congress in the Ninth, beating Barnett 3,690 to 3,059, In the stockyards district McDer mott beat Furlong 2,882 to 2,484.' The Socialists and Progressives had no contests and both put good tickets up. Cunnea is the Socialist candidate for county judge the man Scully and Northup will have to beat. Cun nea will doubtless get strong support from labor both in and out of the So cialist party. Even if the McCormick trust press did call 'em roughnecks, Ragen, No wak and Burg were renominated for county commissioner. McCormick's battle will be with Peter Reinberg and Peter is some vote-getter. The real fight for U. S. senator will be between Raymond Robins and Roger Sullivan. Being on both tickets, John Cer vanka ran away ahead of his ticket Except for president of the county board the Deneen machine walked off with most of the nominations. But the antis showed they were alive. Mary McDowell and Harriet Vit tum were nominated for county com missioner by the Progressives. o o GIRLS GIVE WHITE FEATHERS TO "SHIRKERS" London, Sept 2 (By Mail to New York). How the women of England are urging the men to fight for the Union Jack is indicated in expedients adopted ins everal towns recently to shame able-bodied men who have so far not answered the call. At Deal a group of pretty girls dis tributed white fearers to a crowd of young men, who accepted them jok ingly as "favors" and wore them in their buttonholes. They were greatly discomfited a little later when the town crier an nounced throughout the city that the men had been "decorated with the Order of the White Feather for shirk ing their duty and failing to respond to the call for defenders of the Union, 1 Jack." jjj Us&&&tid)&&m&k
