versatlon with the TIMES reporter en-
phnsized the fact that inasmuch as the

dence to Keep Them lat Home.
Today the voters Of Portland will
ballot for the municipal officers Tor the
ensuing year. The accession of new ter
ritory ana the many vital questions which
will have to be decided this yenr makes
this election one of moro than the usual
Importance. The campaign which COM
menced so early In the Republican ranks
in their selection of standard bearer
and which was waged so earnestly ~ :
suited In the selection of Frank W. Rob-
inson as the candidate for mayor by an
unprecedented majority. Since the
Republican cnucuses the municipal cam
paign has been a very tame one. Mr..
Llewellyn Barton the Democratic candl
date for mayor has vainly endeavored to
stir up enough enthusiasm In the Demo-
cratic ranks to insure the whole party
vote being thrown but he feels that he is
and Others look upon him as the LEADER OF
a forlorn hope, as a target which is set
up only to be- knocked down.
While the election of Judge Robinson
Is an assured fact 1t Is recognized to be
necessary for every Republican voter to
ance doubly sure but also to see to it that
the Repu blican ward tickets are elected.
In several wards the lines are drawn
closer this year than ever before. The
ward tickets of the Democrats are being
pushed for all they are worth with hope
that inditferepce on the part OF the Re
publican voters may result In the defeat
Of the Republican candidates for the
municipal offices. In wards one, three,
four aud nine this Is to be watched close
ly and every Republican vote will be
needed to win. The conceded Democratic
wards are four and two with three and
one closer than could be wished. The
Republicans have the advantage of q
strong ticket in all these wards. of unity
and organization while the Democrats are
less confident than usual and their only
hope of winning is in the Indifference OF
the Republican voters.
Saturday night before the municipal
election is ordinarily very busy one

little to indicate that the city electionsis
