Fast women and slow ponies are known to have wrought ruin on many a man. In Illinois last week, nimble-fingered men and a deck of cards brought disgrace to a woman. The woman is Mrs. Myrtle Tanner Blacklidge, longtime supporter of Senator Deneen, who got her the job of collector of Internal Revenue for the district of northern Illinois. The story of how she happened to lose $207,000 in paper profits at a Springfield faro game, plus $50,000 in cash loaned her by Edward R. Litsinger, also a Deneenman and member of the Cook County Board...
Mayor Thompson has long nursed a great hatred for the Chicago Tribune and its publisher, Col. Robert Rutherford McCormick, brother of Medill. In last April's Republican senatorial primary the Mayor supported Widow McCormick for the expedient purpose of eliminating Senator Charles Samuel Deneen's political grip on Chicago.

Senator Charles Samuel Deneen of Illinois, just defeated for renomination by Representative Ruth Hanna McCormick, telephoned Senate friends from Chicago to hasten the Campaign Fund Investigation. Deneen workers broadly insinuated that Mrs. McCormick's campaign expenditures had been excessive...
When a politician is defeated for public office, custom requires him to do two things. To the press he must announce: "The returns speak for themselves." To his victorious opponent he must dispatch a telegram: " I congratulate you upon your nomination (or election)." Last week Senator Charles Samuel Deneen of Illinois grudgingly did both of these things when in the State primary he lost by close to 200,000 votes the Republican Senatorial nomination to Representative Ruth Hanna McCormick, relict of Senator Joseph Medill McCormick, daughter of Ohio's late great Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna...
