Millionaires Says She Is
Through With 'Em From
Now On.
Chicago. April 30. When Peggy
Hopkins Joyce, the frail, fair fate of
three millionaires, gets ready to dally
with matrimony again, it will not be
with a rich man.
Peggy said so herself, perched
deftly on the edge of a table and
waving a cigaret and kicking her
silk-clad ankles.
"They are brought up the wrng
way," she declares in that soft voice
which in her brief 25 summers has
breathed alternate messages of hope
and despair in the ears of three hus-
nands. 1 hey re they re depraved.
They suspect everybody. They
drink. No. it there ever is a next
one it won't be a millionaire."
Peggy arrived here yesterday to
lend her personal assistance to the
fight being made by her attorneys
against the suit for divorce brought
by the most recent of her husbands,
J. Stanley Joyce, multimillionaire
lumberman. Mr. Joyce is also here,
but he and Peggy did not arrive on
the same train. They have been
traveling separately since he filed his
suit, accusing her with infidelity with
four or five men, ranging from

French merchant.

jthe millionaires were barred.
"1 don't know exactly," she said.

'husband just about spoiled me for

did he buy rne just one? Not for
a moment, lie had to buy me four

(about it.
Mr. Joyce refused to make any
statement regarding the case. At
torneys for both sides denied that
Mrs. Joyce's presence here was for
the purpose of having a conference
with her husband.

That is what a newspaper, now fighting Ure,
said of him when it wasn't "tied up" for par
tisan purposes in a political compaign against
him.
That is what most men think of W. G. Ure,
whose record as a public servant has won
repeated approval by his bosses the plain
people who cast the votes.
Ure has served all the people; he has tried
to represent them all. Ure has not been
swayed by, religious or racial prejudice
some of his close friends and associates are
of other race and of other creed than he
himself.
Ure has not been a tool of special privilege
he has fought corporate interests to a
standstill time and again he has made
them pay taxes he has made them cut pub
lic utility rates but he has not been a demagog.
Ure has fought independently for what he believed to be right; he has
never "fallen into line" simply because someone else told him to.
The interests who want a man they can boss are opposed to Ure's re-election
as City Commissioner.
The only chance Ure has is by the
votes of the ordinary run of folk
