ONLY To VOTE.
Nothing Else Now Remains to
End the Battle
Which Has Been Fought So
Holly For Days Past.
BOTH ARE CONFIDENT,
SeatOn People Play Their Last
Card and Lose.
Polls Will Be Kept Open Til
O'Clock.

You can vote any time before
O'Clock this evening. Don't neglect the
opportunity.
The fight between the Seaton and
anti-Seaton factions will practically
end at o'clock this evening. Just now
the roar of battle is in the air and
both sides are anxiously waiting the re-
suit.
The Seaton organization put the fin
ishing touches on the campaign this
forenoon when the workers f1ocked in
for supplies and instructions. Not
single polling place will be neglected.
There are workers everywhere and no
man who is eligible to vote is neglect
ed.
For two days trusted men have
made circuits of the city, pleading with
the doubtful voters and Strengthening
the spinal column of the weak ones. All
has been done that could be done and
the crowd that wins the fight must say
that the battle has not been an easy
one.
The final efforts of the seaton people
were in the direction of breaking down
the delegations put forward by the
antf-Seaton forces but the effort was
failure. The anti-SeatOn tickets in all
the wards stand as they did originally.
Not a name has been withdrawn.
Both sides appear confident. Mr. Sea-
ton said at noon that he had no fear of
the result and John CLANCY and other
workers for the opposition said that
they felt certain that the result will be
an anti-Seaton victory. This is the US
ual method of politicians-to claim
everything and keep up easy air of
confidence to the last.
The anti-Seaton forces claim that
there is no doubt about the ''anti-tick-
et'' winning in the First, Third and
Fourth wards, while the Second and
Fifth are regarded as doubtful. This
would give the anti-Seaton forces a
good working majority in the county
convention unless the country should
be carried solidly for Seaton, which is
not likely.
is no doubt about their victory in the
First, Second and Fifth wards and
they are concentrating their fire on the
Third and Fourth wards. They claim
that with the Third and Fourth wards
lost to them they will still carry enough
country precincts to control the con-
ventiOn.
The polling places will be kept open
until o'clock this evening and no Re
publican should fail to vote. The re-
turns will be received at the Office of
Phillips & CLANCY, on the first floor of
the Columbian building and the Seaton
headquarters will also be kept open.
