SM; 305 Library of Congress Washington Lorimer-Cullom Candidate Has 477 Lead, and Question Arises, Will Organization Fulfill Pledge to Stand by Choice of Voters? CAUCUS IS PLANNED TO BRING FACTIONS TOGETHER Gibbons, Hummel, Mitchell, Mc-Connell, Murphy, and Griffith Win Democratic Pluralities, but All May Not Be Nominated. If the leader of (he dominant element In the Republican party Denen, West. Red-dick, Busse, Pease, Han berg, Campbell, and Wber keep their word and nominate for county offlces the men who received the highest vote In the primaries In the whole county, they will nominate Charles Ailing for county judge. Mr. Ailing; broke the Deneen-West-Reddlck-Peaae slate In the primaries.

He defeated Lewis Rlnaker, Mr. Pease's candidate on the slate, by a plurality of 477 votes. The total result of the primaries In the whole county was not known to the combination leaders yesterday. At a conference held In the early part of last wetk the De-neen leaders made formal announcement that they would stand for the nomination of (he candidates who should receive the highest vote at the primaries. Ailing Is Wlaaer.

Mr. Allinj has received this highest vote, and under that promise seems to be entitled to the nomination. Ailing Is the hero of the Lorlmer-Cullom county light. He alone went to the front with the highest vote cast for the office tor which he was a candidate. Ailing had the advantage of having the Deneen faction vote split by the candidacy of O.

Fred Rush. The vote for Ailing, Rlnaker, and Rush respectively was: Alllnjr Rinakrr Hunt! 33.529 25.0S2 12.7S2 Ha 4T1 Delegates. But. although Ailing has a majority of the popular vote, he did not carry a majority of the delegate districts. Returns as to delegates that would be Instructed for Ailing If the primary law so provided show- that Ailing would have 471.

Rlnaker 44, and Rush 37 Instructed delegates. However, the vote In thU regard Is not recognized and the Deneen people have declared tbey would recognize the highest vote. The chances are. however, that the Drneen men will hold that the Instructions to delegates in tha different delegate districts are paramount to the total popular vote in the county. As Rlnaker has more Instructed delegates thau has Ailing, the argument would be that Rlnaker Is entitled to the nomination, which he will get.

Both the Republicans and the Democrats are confronting a sequel to the factional fights which were waged at the primaries on Saturday. The contests at the primaries settled but a small part of the question of who shall be the candidates for the county offices. In the congressional districts the prin-'srlfs decided the nominations in the Reput'I-a- party, and In all but one of the the Democrats. In the Eighth i "mooratic candidate for Con gre-i on ljorlty of the delegates to the convent.

jd1 the nomination will have to be in the convention aft erf the delegates shail have voted according ttt tnelr instructions from the primaries tor the first ballot. Vote Does Sot Deride. In many cf the legislative districts the primaries settled the question as to whs shall be nominated. In some districts the matter will be open until after the first ballot, for the men who won the delegates in the primaries shall leave the conventions free to nominate without reference to the primary vote. If they should wish to do so.

But the primary vote did not legally de cide anything as to the county nominations. Ou the Republican side the leaders of the dominant faction agreed to nominate ths candidates who received the highest vote in the primaries for the offices for which they were candidates. The Democratic lead' erj are pledged to the same course as to the candidate for sheriff. But besides the offices for which candidates went to ths primaries, there are fifty-four county, mu nicipal, and sanitary district nominations to be made by the different county con vent ions. To agree on an amicable division of these places among the rival factions will be toe task ahead of the leaders be tween now and the county conventions on next Thursday.

Harmony Plaaa Talked. After the bitter factional contests at the primaries the leaders In each party are sat flod that If they are to hope for success at the election In November it will be necessary to allay the factional bitterness and to placate the defeated elements with a share of the county nominations. To this end the leaders In ech party will hold con- lerences between now and Thursday to arrange a mutually satisfactory scheme of di vision of the nominations, if this be pos sible. The Republican conference or caucus will be held in the county headquarters, 79 Fifth avenue, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Today Fred A.

Busse, who is looked on as the moderator in the Republican camp, will send to each Republican ward committeeman a letter requesting him to call a meeting of the county delegates elected from his ward, at which meeting the delegates win select a representative to appear for them in tomorrow's caucus. It Is expected that such representatives will come to the caucus with full power to act for their ward delegates as to what policy shall be followed, and also empowered to present to the caucus the names of such candidates may be favored by the ward delegation for one or more of the offices that are to be filled aside from those which were decided the primaries. Factions to Be Heard. In this way It is expected, first, that all factions of the party will be represented In the caucus; second, that they will offer the names of the candidates that are preferred by the different wards, and third, that the candidates decided on by a majority of the caucus shall be'aupported by a majority of the delegates In the county convention. Still, there are possibilities of radical disagreements In such a caucus.

That It will be controlled by the Deneen element la certain, because the Deneen men carried a majority Pr'mariea. It might he possible that the minority won candidates or make demands that would not! oe accuea to oy tne majority, and then there would be tronble. At any rate, teh attempt at harmony will be made.

Why Governor Deneen, Roy O. West, and other Deneen leaders whipped the Legislature Into line (or the present primary law and denied to Cook county a direct primary on county candidates la declared by critics of the law to have been strikingly exposed In the Thirty-Second ward Saturday. Although Badenoch carried the ward with the popular vote, he was. It Is aald, defeated by a clever scheme of Superior Court Clerk Charlea W. Vail.

As a result of the "deal" Badenoch finds that he will hare no standing In the county convention when It comes to selecting ths committeeman. Incidentally the Deneen-West-Vail "re formers" of the Thirty-Second ward are charged with resorting to Intimidation, mis representation, and a barrel to save their "machine" In the face of a popular vote registered against It. Deneen and West recently participated In the Vail "vindication" banquet. Badenoch and Vail both live in the Thirty- Second ward, the former being the candidate for county clerk on the Lortmer tloket. Vail was trying to save his place v.

the central committee. Badenoch awept the ward with Lhe popular vote, receiving 1,591 to 1.4S6 for Joseph Haas, the Reddick candidate for county clerk.
