Los Angeles, December 4.-To-mor-
row the women Of this city win decide
u bitterly contested municipal ngn.
between the Socialists ami the Good
Government forces AT the poiis. Party
lines have Doen swept aside. Both the
Good Government and socialist parties
look to the women voters Tor election,
and both admit that the women hold
the balance OF power.
job Hartman leads the Socialist
ticket and George Alexander. the pres
ent Mayor. leads the Good Govern
mcnt forces. The total male registru-
tion Is 10000. The suffrage registra-
ton Is $4,000. The male vote is con-
coded By both parties to be about
evenly divided, but what the women 3
sentiments are is matter of conjec-
ture.
At the Hartman headquarters 1t
was stated to-day that the Socialists
would have a safe majority. They
base their calculations on the large
registration from the poorer quarters
OF the city, and the fact that the Oc-
tober primaries showed poiled ma
jority in The Socialist favor
The Good Government supporters are
equally sure of victory, and claim tho
election OF their ticket by 10000 bas-
ing their predictions on the pas, per-
forInances of the party supporters and
the bitter campaign nude against So
cialism by their speakers and that
portion of the press devoted to their
party.

wall by the Importance OF the suf-
frage vote. Tho Socialists were the
first TO take advantage OF the amend '
mcnt giving women the ballot. They
started campaign, urging registra-
ton among the wives OF their sup
porters that brought the registration
up by leaps and bounds. The Good
Government forces were not far be-
hind. and every kind OF n spectacular
scheme was employed to interest the
women and secure their enrolment.
Special election officers were ap-
pointed. with power to secure the reg
istration OF the women at their homes.
Schools were inaugurated by both par
ties to teach the women how to mark
and fold the ballots, incidentally incul-

The women entered into the spirit of
the contest. and many prominent So
cicty leaders as we'll as women from
the poorer quarters of the city took
the stump in advocacy of their can
didates. Fireworks and cigars were
supplanted by light refreshments, and
the male electorate was almost for
gotten In the scramble to secure tho
women'B vote. II is believed that 10
per cent. OF the registered electorate
will go to the polls. and the campaign
predictions of both parties are based
entirely on the probable vote OF the
women. The Socialist fight has been
against the Goo Coos or Good Gov
eminent party principles. They claim
their antagonists have evolved party
that Is similar in some respects to the
Abe Reuf regime in San Francisco,
and have made their fight along these
lines. with an attempt to draw Glass

The Good Government forces have
waged bitter war on Socialist prin-
ciples. and their papers have been full
of glazing headlines stating: THE tri-
umph of socialism means business
stagnntion and idleness!" Their pro.
paSanua mas been direct appeal to
the prosperity OF the community.
Both parties carry q full ticket to

very good scheme to adopt when
padding alone is to reverse the canoe,
using the bow for the stern and vice
versa. All canoes travel best when prop
erly balanced, and by making a shift
the weight of the body is brought nearer
the center. Some people. though, do not
like this scheme, claiming that, because
OF the greater width at the bow seat, the
paddler is forced to lean too far toward
the side on which he is padding. But for
any one who thoroughly understands the
canoe this is small matter. If used
otherwise. the bow rises too far out Of
the water. which is objectionable II pad

For turning about in the wind the
following suggestions may prove help
full. Begin the ordinary stroke, leaning
we'll forward to catch the blade in the
water as far from the side Of the canoe
as possible. Then pull back. and, at
the same time. in toward the canoe, the
blade making an arc. Continue this
stroke several times, and up until the
canoe loses headway. then quickly shift
the blade to the other side, placing 1t
in the water back of the hip, and back
water hard. Only do this once. If not
around far enough. go through the same
process again, but move very quickly.
