In the meantime the process of
bringing the campaign to a focus quiet
ly but persistently continues. Ward
pohtieians are beginning to warm up,
and more n more is 1t made evident
that the democratic victory will be
magnificent. A few republicans hold
out hopes of winning one. or maybe two,
aldermen, but they can't hold out any,
thing else-they are awfully short on
argument. the most essential thing that
can be held out. They are losing heart
fast since the Hateful gathering of the
IL men who essayed to speak for the
people of Anaconda by choosing alder
manic candidates. 1t is a weak combi-
nation that is becoming weaker as the
days go by. The republicans hold that

at meetings and his lips were never
closed when matters of Importance were
bling debated. His business tact is a
most excellent qualification for an aid
erman who represents a critical on

Monday. He is as good as elected now.

record in the council. KS chairman of
the fire committee he has rendered
valuable service to the city. In all
other matters pertaining to the welfare

that they were properly attended to.

Walsh are leaving no stone unturned
to make victory glorious. Mr.. Walsh
has no counc record to offer. but his
record in business circles weighs heavily
in argument made in his behalf. He is
a pioneer resident of Anaconda and is
making a good showing among the
voters by his businesslike anu straight
forward campaign.
