CAMPAIGN NOTES.
A Full Republican Vote Is Confidently
Anticipated.
contrast Presented by Democratic
Apathy and Prohibition Fcverishness.

Reports are now being received ut the
headquarters of the Republican State
Central Committee almost daily from the
ehairmen OF the several town committees
to the effect that the full vote is to be
brought out on Wednesday, and that the
return OF big Republican vote is as
sured
Tomorrow evening the final note will
be sounded when the Republicans OF the
Fourth Ward and their friends will
gather at the banquet table
at Tilling hast's assembly rooms
and listen to the speeches by Governor
Brown, the gentleman who is to be his
successor, the present and to- be Secretary
of State and the present and to- be Attor-
ney General.
Chairman Franklin II. Owen of the
Democratic State central committe has
returned from the jungles OF
Florida and may be found at his
law Office on College Hill, where
he Is again listening TO the
woeful tales of his many clients and as
suriDg every conner for political informa-
tion that there are to be no rallies, no
speeches, no nothing, the party is simply
going to vote. That's what the Socialists,
the Independents, the Labor party people
and he anarchists are saying.
Even the Prohibition party is showing
more vim than the aggregation who fol-
lows Mr.0wen's say-so, and in spite OF the
discontinue of several OF their cand idates,
even before election, the members of
the third party are indulging in the joy
ful anticipation of beating their own ban
ner vote of something like 300, which
was polled two years ago.
Chairman James A. Williams OF the
Prohibition State Central Committee has
issued manifesto which declares as fol-
lows:
TO sulk in the camp or stay at home on
April g. 1895, is an act of disloyalty TO the
party OF principle and sacrifice.
Every election is important TO pro-
hibition, for at this stage OF
its existence a solid and healthy
growth in the number OF votes
cast for IT'S candi idates is a matter Of
greater concern TO it than victory Is to
other parties that seek only the spoils OF
Office.
The question il, shall the Prohibition
party make another advance movement
toward victory? Observation has
taught me that in the past our
canse has suffered more at the
hands OF stay-at- home voters than
from any lack OF real growth, for every
campaign results in the conver sion OF a
large number OF new voters for our party,
who go with enthusiasm m TO the poll and
vote our ticket.
The members of the Third Ward Re-
publican Club will hold a meeting this
evening and Assemblyman Charles II.
Smart has accepted an invitation TO be
present Accompanying the invita-
tion, which was conveyed by a
committee of three was a set of resolu-
tions alleged so have been passed
by nearly all the Republicans of
the ward endorsing MIR. Smart
and derouncing the action bp which the
nomination for the next Legislature was
given TO another man.
Mr.. Smsrt's supporters have also got out
huge posters entreating everyone to vote
for him, and giving the several reasons
why he should be reelected.
There is to be meeting of the Demo-
cratic Csty Committee this evening and
another one tomorrow OF the Democratic
candidates on the City Assembly ticket,
for the sake of seeing how small the de-
feat can be mado.
The Swedish American Republican
Club Will hold rally tomorrow evening
