THOMPSON LOOKS
TO WHITE HOUSE
Press Sees Ambition in Mayor's
"Heroic Crnsade"
Chicago. Oct. 18. (UP) Mayor
William Hale Thompson leaned his
lance in the corner and took off his
armor for a rest today as a lull ap
peared In the Jousting lists, but U. 'J.
Herman, known among his cronies
a "sport," -worked tirelessly on. He
i-fad a book.
The heroic crusaSe to dethrone.
King George from the British
liragon, or make the lion and the
unicorn lie down together (there is
"wme confusion over exactly what
he crusade is for, but there must be
n metaphor in it somewhere) seemed
to have reached a momentary calm.
Only three press statements were is
sued yesterday, and today seemed
certain to see the number reduced
."till more.
Political observers, taking a turn
nbout the jousting pavilion today
and examining the corpses, detached
l'its of armor and miscellaneous
debris resulting from the tourney so
far. began to speculate on the re
sults and wonder if It was just pos
sible that somebody had missed a
bet.
for Mayor Thompson, who wears
ruw noy nat as jauntily as a vison-.l
helmet, and battles gangsters who
fall to behave according to his lights,
with ferocity as vigorous as that he
displays toward tlio besmirchers of
fleorge Washington, is, amonpr other
things, a political leader. And ho
probably has ambitions.
It has been intimated, from time
o time, that the mayor might bo
a candidate for the republican presi
dentlnl nomination perhaps only in
Illinois for the sake of holding the
state delegation away from former
Oovrrnor I.owden; and then again,
perhaps on a more pretentious scale.
And Mayor Thompson, it was not
ed by the observers, has accomplish
ed one tiling in the last few weeks
hat all the other host of candidates
have failed to do: He has kept his
fame consistently before the public
from one end of the colonies beg
pardon, of the United States of
America -to the other.
Tt. was recalled that the mayor re
cently informed the public at largo
that the republicans must nominate
a wet if they hope to defeat Al
Smith.
Yesterday Mayor Thompson issued j
a staUmcnl assailing the. library
board for recommending those four
books on a, list o special reading 1
matter for pereons Inspired by maga
zine advertisements or otherwise to
search for culture.
"I am Informed," Thompson said,
"that these histories are unfair and
biased and in some cases almost in
sulting in their comments on Amcr
ca and American policies."
But Herman had taken the books
home for personal nspection. He
read and read and read.
"I think." he told newspapermen,
"that these fellows who read his
tories become supercritical and find
objections in things most of us
wouldn't."
