both Sides CONFIDENT
THE REPUBLICANS APPARENTLY
HAVE THE BETTER CHANCE
FOR SUCCESS.
WAS A HARD CAMPAIGN
Both Sides Have TO u Great Extent
Rcfraincd from Bitter Personal
Attacks on the Other.

The second city election to be held
in Tulsa this spring will be held to-
day. This was made necessary by
the provision OF the city charter which
provides that 1t takes a majority Of
votes to elect municipal officials. In
the election of April 2, there wero
three tickets in the field, republican,
democratic and socialist. Two demo.
cratic candidates for commissioner
ships, Conneely, from the third ward,
and Wilson from the second ward,
received maJorites In the first elec.
ton. In that election, Wooden, DEM
ocratic nominee for mayor, was ISA
Handsomely by Simmons, republicx
candidate, and Hendren, republican,
candidate for auditor, also had aN
wide margin over his opponent, Cline,
who is seeking his fourth term as city
auditor On the other hand, demo-
cratic nominees for commlssionerships
from the first and fourth wards re-
ceived pluralities over Moybray and
Eaton. rival candidates with Forsyth.
and Downing.
Polling Places the Same.
In todays election the polling plac-
es will be established at the sami
points as In the previous election, AMI
all those qualified to vote in the cleo.
ton of April are qualified to vota
today. 1t Is expected that a majorit,
OF the 250 socialists who made tn,
second election necessary will not
take part In today's selection of Of
flcials.
The second campaign which han
been waged for the past two weeks
has been a little bit more strenuous
than was the first, but both cam.
paigns were noted for absence of per.
sonalities.
Democratic campaign leaders on th,
eve of the election are claiming tina.
their candidates will be elected by a
majority OF 200 votes. The republi.
cans claim that their candidates will
be selected by majorlties ranging
from 200 to 900 votes.
Democrats Are Disrupted.
Candidates on the republican ticket
have waged their campaign on thu
lines of business administration,
standing for curtailment of current
operating expenses. employment OF
home labor, lower taxes, fair and i'm
partial treatment to all, honest and
clean elections. and a progressive
city. fully abreast always of its grow.
ing importance as the chief city OF
the state, but where profligacy and es-
in city affairs will be at
an end.
On the democratic ticket. candi-
dates are unequivocably endorsing the
Martin administration and at the
same time are conversely declaring
'or economy. This attitude has
worked quite a disruption in demo-
cratic ranks. and 1t Is claimed that
many of that party faith will sup
port Simmons in today's election.
