ALL INTEREST IN
The ELECTION

ING THE BATTLE AT THE POLLS
WITH kEENEsT INTEREST -
BOWMAN WORKS FOXY TRICK
IN THE SECOND WARD.

The election of mayor and alder
men for the four wards OF the city and
a full contingent OF city officers was
principally occupying the attention of
the good people of Moorhead today
and Il was the principal subject for
discussion. Political prophets were
overywhera and their predictions
were naturally coiored. There was
but little excitement and no outward
exhibitions OF partlzanship were seen.
There were varying opinions ex-
pressed as TO the wisdom OF the two
eleventh" houI campaign circulars
which were issued late last night and
early hour this morning by the two
rnayoralty committees-neither one OF
them drew blood and one very promi-
tent citizen made the remark that he
did not believe a vote was changed
either way,
In the aldermanic races the we'll in
formed men predicted that the sue
cessful slate In the First ward would
be Malvey and Morrow, The situation
In the Second. the old fellows stated,
was more puEEling than II has been
for years, There are three candidates,
Lamb flor reelection John Wagner
and Adolph Bowman 1t Is said the
latter has adopted tactics In his cam
paign, which TO say the least are
foxy IL Is said he rounded up the
Younger element In the ward TO vote
for him alone and II Is believed that
he has enough single votes to give him
the lead with the proportion he viii
set linked up with either Lamb or
Wagner At noon the Bowman stock
was very high and the friends OF the
sitting alderman were not leaving a
stone unturned TO influence votes to
their candidate, In the Third ward It
was claimed that G, Peterson was safe
and that the battle was between Geo,
simmons and Bodkin, The two lat,
ter men are democrats,
In the Fourth ward il was generally
stated that w, II, Merritt had the
pole with an easy lead and that there
was uncertainty as to the position OF
Olson and Harris, The former Is
seeking reelection, after serving one
term.

that the people would let the justices

An old timer, referring TO the cam
