OUTCOME is IN DOUBT

With the primary election only twenty
four hours away. each Of the thirty seven
candidates for municipal offices Is making
final effort to elect himself. The uncer-
tainty Of the contest lends zest to the
final hours OF the campaign and the last
day before election dawns with the sup
porters OF each OF the twenty-sX candi-
dates for city commissioner and of the
eleven candidates for city auditor claim
ing the election.
Obviously. the claims OF all the candi-
dates cannot be correct. yet the vote ap-
pears 10 be so scattered among all the
candidates that almost any one has a
chance 10 win. However, the candidates
With the best organisations have the best
chance for success, and this would limit
the list OF those who may be included In
the four candidates for commissioners to
be nominated TO eight or nine, usually re-
garded as among the leaders I'm the fight.

city For that reason polls OF the voters
OF the west side show that Arnold G,
Giauaue. c. Frank Emery, Fred ". Price,
Gustave Buschmann and j. ". Wilson
viii run strong IN that section OF the
city. although a canvass Of other sections
shows that the strength of these candi-
dates is largely confined to the west side.
Mr.. Giauque is said to be leading the can
didates In the Second ward. while c.
nix Emery is believed by his supporters

Among the candidates, resident OF the
east side, who are cutting into tho vote
