ELFCTIONEERING DODGES.
Some Of the Very Remarkable Things Being Done This
Year to Secure Votes.

The most interesting features of an
American election contest are the in
genious means used to attract the vot-
ers attention and to catch his ballot
The day has gone by when popular
candidate, a rallying cry and speakers
of leatherH lungs and inexhaustible
lung power formed a sufficient equip
ment for a campaign. The present
municipal contest for the control of the
Greater New York. both on account of
its Importance and the multiplication of
contesting parties, has brought out an
unusual variety of electioneering de-
vices
THE CINEMATOGRAPHE
Perhaps the most unique scheme of
presenting municipal issues has been
hit upon by the Citizens Union. They
have assumed responsibility for the
present reform administration of New
ork, and their campaign is partly de-
voted to showing the advantages which
it has brought TO the city. To do this
they have employed the cinemato-
graphe to show moving views of the
reformed police on parade, the march
of the white Wings" the condition of
the streets at present and before the
administration of Colonel Warning, and
other pictures of a similar nature The
stereopticon has been brought into play
for similar purpose. both during in
door ard outdoor meetings This an
pication of d popular attraction to
campaign purposes has been very sue
cessful in attracting crowds to the
meetings. The older campaign direct
ors are inclined to scott at their utility
as vote gatherers. Just how effective
they are in this respect may not APP
pear even on election day. for since
their first introduction. both the Re
publicans and Tammany hall have
taken them up, until Broadway is lined
with panorama of views calculated to
appeal to the passing citizen One of
Tammany's favorite views represents

violators, while thug sandbags and
robs Dasserby in the street.

Egerton was conscious that Mrs. Ark

feel the silence in the room. but the
dying man was not one to appreciate
an atmosphere.

a profusion of red. white and blue
lights, pictures of party candidates and
a generous amount of bunting Some
had banners hung along the sides with
notices more or less remarkable for
their originality. One of these COM

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.

for campaign effects. The bicycle has
been utilized not only because of its
facility for transporting ward workers,
but because a certain modification of

didate. 1t has been proposed by some
Brooklyn politicians to rig up a float
which could be pulled along the tracks
CT the trolley railways. a trolley pole
would supply current enough to operate
a huge search light on the float. Long
insulated cables reaching out in front
of the float would be grasped by two
long lines of men. Each man would
have an incandescent lamp on his
brightly polished helmet and current
for these would be supplied through
the cables With the CLEAN of the in
eandescent lamps ON the helmets and
the raps from the search light flashing
to and fro. the whole arrangement will
present a very imposing spectacle in
deed, if it is carried out.
