 Interest Awakening.
 Unlike last Sunday. yesterday was fairly busy day with the candidates. Throughout the day they were seen on all corners. speaking to the voters, shak- ing hands heartily and lowing profusely.
 The campaign in the two remaining weeks promises to develop greater Inter- est. It begins to appear that the candi- dates will refrain from authorized inter- views and will state their platforms and their convictions solely through the ad- vertlsing columns of the papers.
 The voters. too, are beginning to take interest. and yesterday the topic of the majority of street corner conversations was politics. The voters are lining up more readily, and several times there was heard warm debate. The chief interest Is centered in the race for mayor between George E. Ward and Capt. Frank F. OBrien, and the race for chief of po- lice.
 The candidates are all enthusiastically happy and confident. All are waging &C., tive campaigns, but the little mud that Is flying and the little stlngs that ars given are all in black type and in state ments with the three little stars.
