the ward by 1000 majority. This despite
4 Pagan bluff. These men cannot find
others to cover their money. Some Fa-
gan pastors are being used. SO are many
Smith pastors being used.
A heavy vote is being polled in the
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth wards.
The Democratic workers are doing neroic
work in these wards with the best Oh
results. The rumor that some old tune
Democrats were cutting Mr. George s.
Smith is absolutely without foundation.
1t is simply a Republican lie, which was
nailed today by the Democratic workers.
The vote is being brought out IN Inh py
the Democrats and success is assured.
The committeeman in charge OF the va
rious precincts are confident.
The sixth ward is looked upon to give
majority OF two hundred to the Demo-
cratic forces, despite the Republican
howls OF success. The vote is being
polled quietly Not only are the regu-
lars doing their duty, but as many as
fifty Republicans are known to have vot-
ed for Mr.. Smith.
The Seventh ward is said to be safe for
the Democratic candidates. Pagan car
ried the ward last fall, but conditions
have changed. The committeeman expect
a majority of two hundred for the entire
Democratic ticket
The Eighth Ward. the stronghold OF
Republicanism, will not be SO termed
after today's results The normal ma
jority will be split in two Several Demo-
cratic workers said today that the party
was in the best Of shape in the ward and
that every one of the 160O Democrats
were doing their duty. With these are
several hundred dissatisfied Republicans
who are giving their votes to Mr.. Smith,
The Republican majority in that ward
will be not over 900 for Murphy and from
400 to 500 for Pagan.
The Ninth Ward is in safe hands under
the able leadership of Commissioner
Daniel Y Lewis. Never in the history
of the ward has such feeling Of confi-
dence been felt This ward is the nome
of Mr. Smith and his strength will be
proved conclusively by the results today
Predictions are made that Mr.. Smith will
win his ward by 200 majority. His fol-
lowing there is very large and several
hundred Republicans have pledged them
selves to support him.
The Tenth. Eleventh and Twelfth
Wards will go Democratic by gross ma
jority of about 400.
Circulars directed to a few by the Re-
publican machine appealing to the re-
ligious prejudices of those to whom the
circulars are addressed have aroused
great indignation.
