THEIR LAST WEEK.
Non=Partisans Gaining in
Strength.
OUTLINES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The Search for Church's BODY Still
Being Kept Up-News From
Berkeley-Notes.

This will be the last and the create st
week Of the municipal campaign 1t began
earlier and has been liveler than any local
political fight for years past.
Non-Partisans, PopulIsts, Democrats and
Republicans will hold meetings every night
this week in various wards, and each will
probably have general mass-meetiDg and
fireworks bef ore the close of the week.
The election Will be held on Monday.
The Non-PartisanS and the Populists have
made an aggressive campaign. The Re
publicans have been compelled TO take the
defensive, as they are the ones who have
had everything their own way In times
past, and who are now attacked on all sides
by the assailirg forces.
The Democrats have made it political
affair more than others, and are loudly de-
handing that Republican rascals be turned
out and Democrats put in, while they point
with triumph to Democratic Stale and
national victories, rs presidents which
should be followed locally.
These political arguments are answered
by the Non-Partisans, however, whose
cause has gathered force day by day. until
IL promises to be overwhelming in its re-
suits.
1t is only recently that the outlines of the
campaign have been clearly defined and
that any reasonable conjecture can be made
Oh the result. There will be about 5000
votes cast. a prophecy Of how they will be
divided was uttered by T. c. CongaD. in
speech Saturday night, when he referred to
the SIX Mayoralty candidates as follows:
There comes = time in every munich
patty when some strong, fearless man
should take charge, and that time has come
now. we must nave good Mayor and
back him with good Council. | don't
know Pardee, but don't believe he is great
a n
man. Barker / know and esteem highly,
but really his chance of election is so remote
1t IS not worth while to discuss it now. l
know Davie and WOolseY slightly, and
think their voting strength will be slighter.
L have known Fitzgerald, and he is broad
minded and experienced, for he has been
proven by two years service in the Board
OF Public Works.
As Mr.. C0ogan was making a Democratic
speech ne was considered to have treated
Dr. Pardee, who has been attacked more
than any other candidate. fairly well.
lbs words were reflection OF the opinion
generally expressed within the past few
days that Dayie and WOolsey will receive
put lew votes. that Barker will fall far
behind his party's voting strength, and
that the contest will lie between Pardee
and Fitzgerald, with the chances in Pardee's
favor because the Non-Partisan movement
IS so general that it Will sweep away party
lines, however much party leaders may
endeaYor to marshal their forces together.
The people have been thinking good deal,
and Will vote without much attention to
party fealty.
There has been much bitterness In the
campaign. and personalities from the plat
ioGm and ii the newspapers have been
freely expressed.
