Boston City Election, Jan. "a.

Boston, Mass.-Boston's next city
election will be the queerest in It's his.
tory. In the first place there is prac-
tically no campaigning going on. One
or two of the candidates are making
a few desultory speeches and are
holding small rallies, but the others
have not even planned to address any
of the voters, save perhaps day OF
two before election.
Then. again, there will be the short
est ballot the city has ever seen. There
are six candidates for four places.
Added to this. there is a large regis
tration of women voters for the school
committee, and the side which has
the slight shade OF advantage is pray
ing for fair weather on Jan. IA.
