enthusiastic and the most largely at
tended meeting of his supporters yet
held. last night went vigorously after
his opponent, Alderman ]. c. Tyson,
and his leading supporters because of
certain statements made In the cam
paiEn. Mr.. Gunter declared he was
Roaded by misrepresentation to de-
nounce some of those statements and
one Of them. made by a supporter of
Mr.. Tyson. he called the short and ugly
word. lie"
He declared solemnly that issues
brought into the campaign by Mr.. Ty-
son were insults to the intelligence of
Montgomery. and that in the light of
thu record Mr. Tyson had made in the
Council. a man might not vote for Gun
ter. but he could not conscienttously
vote for Tyson.

annoyed Mr.. Gunter and he went after
tina makers of them without gloves. It
was BY far the most vigorous speech OF
the compaaEn. Mr.. Gunter's auditors,
who had been hearing the orators tell OF
the overwhelming vote he would get in
the election. sat up and took notice
when Mr.. Gunter began his strenuous
reply to the campaign statements that
have been set afioat. Then they be-
gan to cheer him and the more he
cheerod.
Beyond doubt the meeting pleased the
Gumker people. The big hall at head
quarters was crowded to the doors and
GunEer men said that a lot of voters
had come up and gone away because
they could not find standing room. The
speakers had confidence on tap and
two of them suggested that the ma
1ort1y would be so large that the prop
~ thinE would be to make II unan-
timpun. At each confident declaration,
enthusiasm rose and the crowd
cheexed.

According to Henry N. Hughes, the
