Republicans Predict One Year Left For Election Office
Republicans tell Democrats they may hold the election commissioner's office for one more year after November 1920. They expect Cook County to stay Republican in the presidential election next year. A successor to the late County Judge Thomas F. Scully will be chosen in November 1920 alongside national, state, and county races. Probate Judge Henry Horner is acting county judge and may seek Probate Court re election in 1922. Political leaders report broad support for maintaining the current setup to avoid a $1,000,000 primary and election costs.
