SIGNIFICANT VICTORY.
The election of Judge F. Dunne
as mayor of Chicago by a plural
ity of nearly S2f>,00() votes is hailed
by democrats throughout the
country as the turning of the tide
which they declare will now sweep
the country and result in the elec
tion of a democratic majority to
the next house of representatives l
and eventually, a Democratic suc
cessor to President Roosevelt.
The significance of Judge Dunne's
victory is emphasized by the fact
that his opponent, John Maynard
llnrlan, was an exceptionally clean;
man and the further fact that Chi- j
cago gave a Republican majority
to President Roosevelt in the elec
tion last fall. Judge Dunne's
election constitutes, moreover, an
economic its well as a political vic
tory for the Democrats as it insures
the municipal ownership of the
<Chicago street railway system, a
policy that has long been contested
by the Republicans and which the
Democrats hope to push on into
far wider fields.
