In November the voters registered a preference for plan 2, which gives the the campaign into a non-partisan af- fair.

 Aninosities Bring on Libel Suits. Animositfes stirred up during the last days have brought on libel suits, demands for criminal prosecution of newspaper proprietors and much acri- montous controversy. MT. Hubbard has been the only candidate to bring na- tfonal politics into the fight, MT. Stor- row and MT. Fitzgerald having had the support Of both democratic and repub- lican workers.
 Close of Contest Welcomed.
 While the campaign has been excit- ing, it has been somewhat wearisome from its lack of variety in the issues and candidates, spellbinders, workers and voters welcomed the close of the contest tonight.
