For the past week the Liberal Club has
been actively at work in each OF the four
districts, Strengthening the lines where
voters got weak in the knees, ana get
ting things in condition for the fight
Campaign orators have been engaged in
general missionary work, but it has been
on the outskirts They have been making
ready for the opposition. which is now
sufficiently well established to stir up
strife and bring every speaker and voter
TO his place. A Liberal leader gave it out
that a ea1h-qonorntffqa nj forty n al haeF al
work in the Fourth district, while fifteen
true blues had been looking QUE for the
clubs interests i'm the First A sub-com-
mittee of ten has worked in the Second
and a committee of five in the Third dis
tricts. 1t viii be seen no time was lost
in Withholding the campaign committee,
as the party leaders had men in each dis
trict TO carry the work along so that the
campaign committee will have no trouble
i'm taking il up with the others where they
left off.
Not all whom ii is expected will affiliate
with the Liberals have yet donned the col
ors. One or two, politicians who never
fan to cut big figure in election, are
lukeWarm; they are waiting for the alder
manic tickets to come. IL ia whispered
their object is to see how many noses they
can count as friends. II may become nee
essary 10 divide the tickets. in order to
get "a choice ticket and indeed, the opin-
ion has been freely expressed the POSSIBLE
ity of a mixed board seems likely.
The politicians have begun to figure on
the election, the result showing with the
Liberal leaders that Mr.. McDonough will
come out with handsome majority. The
talk about the Irish vote being divided is
ridcued the claim being those who are
disgruutled have at some time felt the
strong arm Of MIR McDonough's deter
minaton to stop various violations. Much
confidence is felt by the McDonough peo-
pie getting the solid Irish vote, which they
admit will be slightly broken, but moi split
enough TO injure them a great deal.
