CHICAGO’S CIVIC CONTROL.
“BIG BILL” THOMPSON’S SET BACK. (United Preu Allocution—By Bl.llrli Talecrapn—Copyright.) (Received February 27, 7.30 p.m.) CHICAGO, February 26. “Big Bill” Thompson’s forces suffered further defeats at the local elections to-day, when party lines were eliminated, and the voting was wholly for or against Thompson. The latter’s machine, which was wrecked last April, and practically re-built, was dismantled again, as the aldermen backed by the Civic Association were elected. This was due to their opposition of Thompson, who, however, still holds a certain amount of power through patronage, but the Reformers believed the vote has given the people the best City Council for years.
