HOT CAMPAIGN
ENDS TONIGHT
Election Day WIN Find Both
Sides Confident
ESTIMATES CUT DOWN
AND GENERAL BELIEF IS THAT
CONTEST WILL Be A CLOSE
oNE-cLoslkc RALLIES
TONIGHT.

Today marks the close CT one Of the
hotiett and most bitterly contested
city elections in the history of Cairo.
Tho campaign will close with both
sides confident OF victory.
The poll taken of one thousand
voters in the city by The Bulletin,
Saturday. the result Of which was
published In yesterdays paper show,
ing that Parsons had a majority of 80
out OF about uneahird of the total vote,
has had the effect OF dampening to
some degree. the confidence of the
supporters OF both tickets, 1t has been
argued all along by both sides that
their candidate would be elected by
from 500 to 900 majority. Now it
seems 10 be the general opinion that
the race will besfnore or less tight
one and the majroities are now esti-
mated at between 500 and 100
The fact that both sides are still
confdent Of winning. however, is
show by the numerous bets that are
being made all over the city. Winter
and Parsons money is not hard to find.
The odds vary In different localities.
According to the reports which are
current some pretty stiff bets are be
ing taken on both sides. The interest
at this election is more intense and
strained than ever before. according
to old local politicians.
While the race for the mayoralty Is
Eppernost In the minds of the voters
the contests for seats in the city coun.
ell and for election to the Offices of
cits attorney and city treasurer are
not by any means being overlooked.
Reports TO the effect that attempts

voters and that several places in the
city are. filled with new residents who
have Come to vote. are still current,
bat u Is, understood on good authors,
.ty that fraudE at the polls win be 4
