The air is irl- vigorating and people who are not too much occupied with the wor. incident to the great battle regard it as q clori- ous outing and appear to enjoy rush ing from one voting district to another inQuiring Who's ahead?" and in most instances not caring which. But as a rule all are interested one way or another. if not for the whole ticket on either side. for particular persons on it. so that the number of people about the streets who have no choice are few and far between.
