PREDICTIONS OF PARTY leaders
AS TO THE RESULTS TOMORROW

Ralph Metcalf, chairman of the Republi-
can committee, said today: "Mayor Camp
bell will carry the city by a majority of
not less than 1850 votes. He will carry the
First and Second wards by 700, the Fifth
by 200, the Seventh by 100 and the Fourth,
Sixth and Eighth by over 100 votes. He
will probably lose the Third ward by not
over 100 votes, thus assuring his election
by at least 1850 majority. This is very
conservative estimate and it is quite posi-.

Bruin had succeeded in loosening some
of the bars of the cage by eating away
the wooden floor, and was thus able TO
escape.
The departure of the bear was first
noticed Park Assistant J. o. Jellberg,
when the animal was still within 200 feet
of the cage. Thinking that he could over
