are determined, if hard work can do any
thing, to secure its election. The knights
o! Labor party held final caucus on the
Bay lastniSht. and committees were ap-
pointed to work at the polls to-day. Mou-
day nights mass RI Getting, which was
manipulated by Judge Russelrs sup
pOrters, to some extent strengthened his
candidacy.

tive part In lie campaign, and, with MI.
