(Bu Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-A compara- tive youngster with a reputation as a fighter and a crusading jurist who leaped into fame as a foe of, gangland is challenging the reign of Chicago's veteran mayor. Arthur F. Albert, only 32 years old but an alderman for 10 years, is one of those trying to oust Mayor William Hale Thompson in Tues- day's Republican primary. He is backed by the faction headed by Senator Charles S. Deneen. John H. Lyle, the municipal court judge whose campaign against the underworld won him the title "the nemesis of gangland," is the other major candidate. In vastly different ways these two canididates are saying much the same thing: They are urging voters to turn the present administration out of the city hall, and have hurled charges of "criminal-political alli- ances" and of corruption. Each claims to be the leading anti- Thompson candidate and asserts that a vote for the other means a vote for Thompson. Bolted Thompson's Group. Both have been at one time af- filiated with Thompson's organiza- tion but both have been outspoken opponents in recent years. Although this similarity of argu-1 ment runs through their campaigns the personalities of the two men are greatly different and there is much bitterness in the two camps because the anti-administration vote is being split. Lyle is as spectacular a campaign- er as he is a spectacular judge. His stage properties are the deadly Farm Board Member Will Leave Past Soon t Associated Press Photo I Samuel R.
