Turner Hall, at North Clark Street and Chicago Avenue, seldom has had a larger crowd within its walls than assembled there last night to greet Judge Harry Olson, fusion candidate for mayor, and others, who are working to bring about his nomination. [Employees] at the hall stood on the main stairway and turned away hundreds who wished to hear the candidate, and finally one of the smaller halls was opened and an overflow meeting was held there.
Miss Jane Addams of Hull House was one of the speakers, and she made an appeal to the voters in behalf of Judge Olson. She sees in the election of the Judge Olson an opportunity to forge ahead in Chicago by leaps and bounds. She said:
"The success of the Boys' court, the Morals court, and the Court of Domestic Relations is the great testimonial to Judge Olson for what he has been doing for Chicago. These courts typify his attitude toward public service. He is a humane and fine man. He has done so much for humanity in the past that he should be given a chance to do much more as mayor of Chicago."
