John F. Smulski, renominated by the republicans for city attorney, was born in German-Poland and is thirty-seven years old. He came to Chicago in 1880, and was admitted to the bar in 1890.

When the fight against corrupt aldermen was the strongest, Mr. Smulski was sent from the sixteenth ward to the city council, where he opposed all "grab" measures. He has also favored municipal ownership whenever the city is ready for it.
