usual. also that a large number Of voters

lican candidate, and George s. Davis. the

who was accorded a denomination by the
republicans, has not been making any cam
paign, preferring to leave his case in the
hands of his friends. He goes on the theory

they will elect him and II they do not they
will vote for the other man.

school director, has been making an active
canvass, and being a strong labor union

showing at the polls today. George Cor

tion was urged by the labor interests, is
meeting with some opposition, from the
fact hat he Is not a married man, but his
friends expect he Will be able to overcome
this and be elected. o
