Next Monday the city election will
be held. But two days yet remain
for the candidates to hustle and fix up
their fences. The campaign has been
a remarkably quiet one and there will
likely be some surprises when the
votes are counted. The Democrats
have made a manly fight and have
made many votes by such a campaign.
At present the Democratic ticket looks
like a winner, and many think that 1t
will almost make a clean sweep, as the
people are not paying much attention
to party, but will vote for those they
think the most capable.
There is much chance OF many vot-
erS making a mistake next M0nday III
voting for Justice of the Peace. Each
party has three candidates and three.
Justices are to be elected. and the
three receiving the largest number of
vots will be elected, and it is well to
inform the public that in voting a
scratched ticket for this office the
voter must place a cross before each
mans name that he wishes to vote
for, as a cross at the head of the ticket
and one in front of the name of a JUS
tice on the opposite ticket would only
vote for one man. The voters should
watch this carefully when they do not
vote a straight ticket.
