there was much apparent glee last
night. For several weeks the Amer
leans have been busily engaged in
creating, as far as they could, a senti-
ment for Lynch. They have not met
with much success in their efforts. but
they seemed 10 think they had. Their
purpose in quietly advising those who
could not vote for Thompson to vote
tor Lynch was explained last night.

one, that Morris is the man Thomp-
son must beat Knowing this we have
not hesitated wherever it seemed nee
essary TO boom Lynchs stock, for
there is not the slightest doubt in our
minds that a vote for Lynch is at
least half a vote for Thompson. our
hope of American success lies in this. "
A meeting of American" district
chaiTmen was held at Headquarters
last night. At its close Chairman Oar
mer, while refusing TO make any es-
Inmates on the vote, was free to say
that he felt very much encouraged over
the outlook and that he was confident
OF success at the polls tomorrow. The
basis OF this confidence is not exactly
clear, unless on the theory that Chair
man Darmer has been deceived as TO
the extent of the Lynch strength.
