Much Excitement
The close of the campaign was
marked by great activity and consid-
cradle excitement. but these did not
compare with the scenes at American
political meetings. Speeches were pro-
hibited. but hundreds of thousands of
circulars were mailed to voters. and
the constitutional Democrats employed
the expedient of dispatching their
reading matter by messenger in order
that it would reach the person for
whom it was intended. Newspapers
are filled with appeals to the voters
that the strength of the constitutional
lists has compelled the mOderates and
conservatives to pool issues and the
OctOberiStS. and progressive econo-
miStS, and the law and order and trade
iuductries parties have put in the field
a block" ticket. Nevertheless the
constitutional delegates claim a GER
tain and sweeping victory. and the IN
cicauons are that they will carry the
