VICTORY IS IN THE AIR
DEMOCRACY WILL ELECT IT'S CITY

PLURALITY
ALL WARDS ARE NOW AFLAME
With Burning Desire for the GUST

With but little over week of the
city campaign left, every indication points
to a tremendous Democratic victory.
The voters of the city, suffering under
long years of maladministration of the
public affairs, demand q change; the ma
chine workers of the ring now ruling
municipal affairs are making their one
last grab at all possible sources of gain,
however fraudulent; the party organs are
dismayed at the storm of popular indigna-
ton; and in every ward, the aggressive
campaign of the United Democracy, with
its aueury of success the coming election,
is to culminate in glorious day OF liber.

The election of Robert A. Smith as
mayor is conceded. Enthusiastic Demo-

various parts Of the city, claim for him
plurality of 1000 votes. The least saneuiI.e
are confident that his plurality will not be
less than sou, and that. too, only on the
assumption that election weather shall
cause an unusually light poll a week from
Tuesday.

owned kiefer, is to be repudiated, not
only the recent upstart, Chester Smith,
but the end of McCardyIsm too, is in
sight. That Louis Betz will be elected
comptroller is beyond a doubt, while the

The Republicans have conceded the elec>

the eleven wards of the city, and since
the Democrats nominated DR. Rudo1rb
Schiffmann for alderman in the Seventh
ward, the Republican leaders are slak-,

stronghold of the 6. o. p. be carried by
the brilliant assault of the Democracy.
