The preliminary work Of the city
campaign is now closed, and to-day
comes the final test at the polls OF the
various claims made recently by the
republican and democratic managers In
the present municipal campaign. Re-
publican leaders last night appeared to
be confident that at least their may
orally candidate would be elected. and
they predicted that John P. Studley
would receive majority Of at least
500.
Democrats were equally confident and
they predicted that Mayor Driscoll
would be re-elected by at least 1000
majority, while they quite generally
expressed the opinion that the remain
der of the ticket would be elected by
somewhat increased majorities.
Theodore H. Macdonald, chairman OF
the republican town committee said
last night that he saw no reason why
the republican ticket should not win to-
day and that the chances for republi-
had not been better in years.
The republican ward tickets are
strong in all the wards, and 1T was
thought by leaders last night that there
were good chances Of securing ma
jority in the common council for the
ensuing year. The ticket in the First
ward is indicative Of the strength of the
republican tickets in the other wards.
In that ward the ward ticket is headed
by Dr. Waldo Fl. Minor, the candidate
for alderman. DR.. Minor at present
represents the ward in the board OF
councilmen, being first councilman. His
record in that board has been good
one, and shows that he may be trusted
to stand for public welfare. His work
in the board Of councilmen has been
consistent, earnest and intelligent, and
such as to merit from his constituents
election to the upper branch of the
common council. His colleagues on
the ward ticket are all men well known
in the ward and thoroughly capable
Especial interest is felt by many cit
izens in the matter of tax collector.
Henry H. Guernsey, we'll known bus
mess man, is the republican candidate
for the position, and 1t is felt that II ne
is elected the business of the office will
be satisfactorily conducted, and the in
dications are that he will receive a
large vote.
Republican leaders last night express
ed the opinion that the success of the
party ticket to-day depended largely on
getting out the vote, and they earnest
ly urge that all republicans get to the
polls and vote as early as possible. The
