era Busy.
Interest in the special congressional
election which takes place next Monday Is
reaching the acute stage. Since the demo-
Gratis have concluded that the election OF
their candidate, w. F. Cleveland, is neces-
sary as the first expression OF national
confidence in the work OF the democratic
branch OF congress so far in the special
session. they have concentrated in the
district the power OF the whole national
orEanzat!on.
1t is now admitted that the plans for a
'whirlwind campaign, with a national
speaker in every school house in the dis
trict," were only abandoned because the
old wheel horses who have directed the
course of the democratic mule team con-
cuded the republican plan for still hunt
was better than the brass bands and
blazes of oratory. They recalled the fact
that wherever Bryan spoke in the Iowa
campaign last year the democrats were de-
feated. The democrats only decided to
make some speeches after the republicans
eased up a little in the personal canvass
The campaign managers have discovered
that the farmers will not come out at all
to hear campaign speech in the busy
month OF June. but every voter in the
district has been directly communicated
with and the way to his duty clearly
pointed out to him.

For the next forty-eight hours Council
Bluffs will be the center of the political
battle. The republican managers will make
no effort TO attract support to Judge Green
by impassioned oratory or fervid appeals
to political patriotism, but the democrats
have decided that some political thunder
shall shake the skies. Consequently they
have arranged a boiling meeting at the
Dohany theater this evening. when Judge
Martin j. Wade. Candidate Cleveland and
Emmett FINLEY will be the speakers There
will be brass bands on the streets and
plenty of enthusiasm in the vicinity of
Broadway and Sixth street But while
this is going on the skirmish lines of tho
enemy will be thrown out in all directions
in other parts of the city.
The campaign has been singularly free
from personalities and bitterness Judge
Green has been tlreless in his work con-
Quoting his canvass with the dignity and
sincerity that has characterized every act
of his official life, ana ne has added TO
his strength by the force of his character.
and his candor and fairness. While there
are 30 many elements of uncertainty 10 be
reckoned WITH such as the refusal of the
farmers to quit their fields to vote and
apathy of some OF the republicans, the
friends of Judge Green are extremely con-
fident OF his election.

opportunity of free rides to the polls.
