Has Made an Active and Effec-
tive Campaign.
Has his Forces Well TN Hand and
VIII Poll Q Big Vote On
Tomorrow.
To the Editor of the Oil Review.

take advantage of your offer
to publish anything that the
friends of the various candidates
may want to say In the columns OF
the Oil Review for or against any
candidate. I want to congratulate
the public on the fact that so far
the canvas, while 1t has been very
earnest and active, so far, has been
a clean cut effort, every candidate
electioneerins on his own merits.
The campaign has been free from
all malice or mud Singing.
Now that the work is practically
at an end, 1 have no hesitancy In
predicting the election OF Mr.. II.
B. Nissan, for Mayor of our city.
He is an old campaigner. He has
worked almost day and night since
he was nominated and has succeed
ed in uniting all his friends into a
solid mass and has brought into
line all who at first opposed his
election. As the matter stands to
day all who are posted In Munich
pal affairs agrees that he will be
elected tomorrow by a very hand
some majority. I am sure Mr.. His
sam will be elected. The city on a
strict party vote Is from
thirty to fifty democratic, 50
If he can even poll his own
party vote. which all concede he
will do, be will be elected by very
handsome majority. I have made
careful canvas of the city and
have failed to find a single democrat
who Is not supporting Mr.. Nissan
vigorously. This would elect him,
bat in addition to this, owing to
the fight that is now on In the
third ward over the councilmen
from that ward, Mr.. Nissan will
gain severalRepubiican votes there.
Here and there. all over. the city
we fad Republicans who are sup
porting Mr.. Nissan tor various
reasons, Add these votes to the
normal Democratic majority In the
city and 1t is not hard to figure out
Mr.. Hissam's election by a good
majority.
I am satisfied Mr.. Nissan will
make rs an excellent mayor. He
has permanently located In this
city, is engaged In profitable bus
iness and Will do all be can to make
the city better In every way. He
will give the public q good, con-
sentative administration and an
honest one.
He will enter the Office without
having made any pledges to any
body or faction. His vote then on
all questions that will come before
the council viii be free from preju-
dice, bias or hope of favor or re
ward. If he had any desire TO do
so heicould not afford for a moment
to do anything dishonest. I know
as does the public, that he has been
tried as q constable, then as Justice
Of the Peace, and IN both Offices he
has never been accused OF doing
anything bat what was strictly hon
est and legitimate. He viii make
Q mayor of the whole people. BE
win not oppress any one. he VII
preside with dignity and absolute
fairaeSs In the council room and
will execute the laws Of the city In
q fair way and win allow no one TO
be prosecuted for any purpose. I
take this means of asking bis
friends TO be out early at the polls
tomorrow morning and see to II
that oil the votes are polled tomor-
row. Nothing can defeat him now
except for his friends to grow slack
and careless because he viii be -
easy winner. The other side are
working hard and VIII leave no
stone unturned % defeat aar. His
sam. bat he has his opponent licked
