He/pps conducted/vbd it/ppo with/in less/ap diplomacy/nn and/cc more/ap spontaneous/jj violence/nn than/cs the/at Sicilians/nps ,/, but/cc he/pps had/hvd his/pp$ huge/jj North/jj-tl Side/nn-tl portion/nn to/to exploit/vb and/cc he/pps made/vbd a/at great/jj deal/nn of/in money/nn ./.

To/to forestall/vb any/dti change/nn of/in allegiance/nn ,/, the/at Democrats/nps hastily/rb organised/vbd a/at testimonial/jj banquet/nn for/in O'Banion/np ,/, as/cs public/jj reward/nn for/in his/pp$ past/ap services/nns and/cc as/cs a/at reminder/nn of/in where/wrb his/pp$ loyalties/nns lay/vbd ./.

	This/dt further/jjr demonstration/nn of/in O'Banion's/np$ ballooning/vbg power/nn did/dod not/* please/vb Torrio/np and/cc Capone/np ./.
