MAJORITY 5000.
Leader Davis Raises His
Estimate Of Hoos'
Vote.
Committeeman WORKING
Campaign Practically Over,
But Canvassing Will Be
Done Till the Last
Minute.

So far as the Democratic candidates are
concerned the campaign is over. The
several nominees made their final
speeches Saturday night. Candidates
Midltge. Sullivan and Heintze made
canvass of Greenvlle on Saturday, and
they pronounce everything entirely salts
factory. They believe that the Seventh
ward will return a handsome Democratic
majority.
The ward in which Jacob D;ehl lives has
been invaded and it is fact that the
Democratic candidates sy:npathize Win
Diehl The Democrats and Republicans
have combined against Diehi. ami it LOOKS
as if he will fail 10 carry even the PEE
cinct in which he resides. Nat a man
can be found who has good word Ior
him.
Mayor Hoos is entirely satisfied that he
will win. He has been invited to address
an Italian mass meeting tonight, put IL
is doubtful if he will do so. The Mayor
was not feeling well today and If he goes
out at all it will be to open a Dig Ialr
down in the Lafayette section of the city
The Mayors pastors are in great de-
mand That is taken as evidence that ne
will run ahead of his ticket.
Commissioner Heintze feels that he Will
run ahead of his ticket also. This morn
ing an acquaintance of his, Republican,
wanted TO bet that he would run ahead
of his ticket by 500.
Leader Davis does not know what to
make of the campaign. Yesterday after
noon he called the city committeeman to-
gether and, after distributing the election
paraphernalia, gave the committeeman a
warning.
Today Leader Davis said
II think victory is in the air, but it
will not do for our workers to be idle.
We want our whole vote out There is
not much interest being taken in this
campaign and what l fear most is that
our voters will not turn out. / want
our men to work just as though they had
a hard campaign before them. If any
man negleets his duty and 1 hear it I will
certainly see to it that charges are lodged
with the Executive Committee.
There is too much at stake for nom
sense. 1t looks like victory for US, but
we must work and earn that victory and
in that way prepare ourselves fer the fall
-&truggIe. Our candidates are all good
rsrpfff and with "a little earnest work we
will be able to roll handsome maiorities
government and that is what they will
get if they elect the Democratic nomi-
nees.''

Easy for Maxwell.
The fight in the Fifth Ward has ended.
Those Democrats particularly the young
men who were reported to be against
Charles Maxwell the Democratic nominee,
have in their horns and are now out
making the Nveliest kind of a hustle for
him.
Mr. Maxwell ha sserved two terms in
the Board of Aldermen and in the four
years has done absolutely nothing to
offend the voters of the ward he repre-
sents The assaults of the Republicans,
which were confined particularly to the
fact that he has held office before has
helped rather than injured him. Max
wells record shows that in his whole
political career he has guarded the in
terests of his constituents as against
those of corporations Maxwell has
pledged the people that he will support
Mayor Hoos administration. That is all
they exacted.
VIII Leave No Stone Unturned.
Leader Davis had final talk with the
candidates and ward leaders today. He
advised the candidates to address as many
meetings as possible tonight and ordered
the ward men to compel the several pre-
cinct committeeman to leave no stone un-
turned to bring out the whole Democratic
vote.
Davis Regrets the Tameness of the
Campaign.
Leader Davis is confident that the DEM
ocratic candidates will win. He is count
ing or at least eleEen Aldermen and the
whole sea oe 80 ticket.
$50 N ascertain" he said,
.sthe l1ss ,s4ic vote will be up to the
desired figure. If that is the case we
will win by 5000, if not more.
Il regret very much that the Republi-
cans have not given us a battle. I would
have enjoyed it more, and / am sure our
men would have worked better
JeRersons for Hoos.
