J. Clarke publishing Company Currey Josiah Seymour 1912 Until 2019, no subsequent election had more candidates running on its ballot. Ahead of the election, there were competitive races to receive the two major party's nominations at their municipal nominating conventions. Mayor Harrison was challenged for the Democratic Party nomination by former governor John Peter Altgeld. However, Altgeld was politically weaker than he once had been, and Harrison easily fended him off. In the March indirect primary to elect the delegates to the city's nominating convention, delegates supporting Harrison won a broad majority. At the convention, Harrison received the party's nomination by acclamation. The Republican Party had a large field of candidates seeking its nomination. Along with Hanecy (who was a judge on the Circuit Court of Cook County), the two other front-running contenders for the Republican nomination were Sanitary District of Chicago president William Boldenweck and former alderman John Maynard Harlan. and incumbent alderman Walter J. Raymer. Other contenders that Henry beat were Judge Marcus Kavanagh and aldermen William Mavor and Frank T. Fowler. Additionally, Alderman William Hale Thompson had initially declared his candidacy, but did not ultimately compete for the nomination at the convention.

Altgeld's 1901 candidacy was not considered a serious threat to Harrison, as Altgeld had lost much of his influence over the preceding two years. There had been rumors that Roger Charles Sullivan and John Patrick Hopkins might recruit a candidate of their own to challenge Harrison, but this never materialized. In the March primary to elect delegates to the city nominating convention, Harrison-supporting delegate candidates won a large majority. At the convention, Harrison was renominated by acclamation.

He advocated changing the fee system practiced by some city officials and also proposed stronger measures to regulate the streetcar companies. However, his attempts to adopt reformist policies were weakened in their effectiveness by his association with William Lorimer. Reform-minded Republicans were upset that the seedy Lorimer managed to get his preferred candidate nominated by the Republican Party over reformist favorite John Maynard Harlan. Some Republicans unsuccessfully sought to persuade Harlan to run as an independent. The Republican Party's platform criticized the Harrison administration as "inefficient", "notorious", "scandalous", "dishonest", and cowardly negligent in its, manner of defending correct and dishonest damage suits against the city, its prostitution of our public schools, its pernicious effect upon the realty and industrial values whereby the property of the individual has been depreciated in value while manufacturing and other industrial interests have been driven from our city.The World Review: An Illustrated Weekly Magazine 1901 1 https://books.google.com/books?id=LGo5AQAAMAAJ 7–8 15 May 2020 World Review Company en The World Review: An Illustrated Weekly Magazine The traction issue surfaced in this election.
