RACIAL ISSUE RAISED TO AID J. HAM LEWIS Big Bill Thompson Lashes at Mrs. McCormick: 30,000 at Rally. Ihi Vnitcd PrriM CHICAGO, Oct. 23—James Hamilton Lewis found himself the unwitting political bedfellow of Big Bill Thompson, Chicago's Republican mayor, today after he had touched off the climax of his senatorial campaign in a burst of red fire and oratory at the Chicago stadium before 30,000 cheering Democrats. A few hours before, 100,000 circulars, bearing no signatures but obviously from the mayor's office, went out to thousands of Negro voters. The pamphlets called on the Negroes to vote for Lewis and scratch the name of the patrician, Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick. Accuses Late Senator After accusing the late Senator Medill McCormick, husband of the Republican nominee, of having said the Chicago race riots of 1919 were justified, the circular said: - ‘ Those who vote for a member of the Chicago Tribune family for the High office of United States senator may jeopardize their lives because a seat in the senate would again give great political power to a McCormick and the Tribune to use against all public peace and peaceful Chicago.” According to the Chicago Tribune today. Mayor Thompson made three attempts to write the circular before penning one that he could issue. The first, the Tribune said, bore his signature. When his advisers objected, the Tribune said, the mayor revised it with blanks left for prominent Negroes to sign, including Oscar De Priest, Negro congressman, who is supporting Mrs. McCormick. This they refused to do, the Tribune reported. And again the mayor blue penciled the copy to make it anonymous. 30,000 Attend Rally Lewis' welcome back to his home town broke all records for size, color and noise. Thirty thousand cheering adherents pushed and jammed their way into the stadium. Another 5,000 or more milled and shouted around the entrances until riot squads were called to disperse them. Then they gathered around radioequipped automobiles parked near the stadium and heard Lewis attack Mrs. McCormick's stand on prohibition and the tariff.

the commissioners could make no comment now. It was explained that the commission's jurisdiction would come through its authority to scrutinizs railroad expenditures as a basis for rate making. Hot Battle in Jersey Bu Vnitcd Press , NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—New Jersey Republicans expect to send Dwight W. Morrow to the United States senate by the heaviest majority a Republican candidate has received in this state in the last two decades. Tire Democrats’ high-spirited candidate, Alexander Simpson, noted attorney, who gained nation-wide attention for his part in the famous Hall-Mills murder trial, is campaigning the state, attacking the Hoover administration and criticizing Republican tactics. Simpson is not leveling his fire so much against Morrow personally as against the Republican party organization in New Jersey w T hich, nominally at least, is in charge of Morrow’s campaign. His chief criticism of Morrow is based on a claim that the former ambassador to Mexico, who gained wide attention when he came out for repeal of the prohibition law, actually Is an "evader” of the issue. This claim is derived from Morrow’s statement that he is not a defender of the liquor traffic but that he believes the prohibition laws have failed in their mission.
