The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-20

The municipal campaign. which has been very quiet and nninterestfng and which has been featured chiefly by a lack of interest displayed by the peo- pie. comes to an end. The polls in the ! various precincts will he opened at s o'clock Monday and the voters will be given an opportunity to strike effect- lively for their favoritcs.
 It is estimated that, whereas there are about 12,OOO legal voters in Great CT Birmingham, only about $500 of thai number will be boiled. Many people i'm expressing themselves regarding the outcome have declared thnt should bus mess make voting troublesome, they would foregO that privilege.
 The campaign comes to an end with both sides confident The campaign committee which has labored' in the sued a card, in which the claim is made that their candidate will be success full by majority of 165S The com mittee comedies majorities for Harry Jones only in four of the 16 boxes, two of which are located in Greater Birmingham. Solon Jacobs, chairman of the committee which has worked in behalf of Harry Jones, claims the city by majority ranging from 15O0 to 200O votes. He comedies to Weatherly a majority of the lawyer vote in Greater Birmingham, but a majority of no other vote.
 The Outcome Doubtful It is generally believed that the race is close and very doubtful-that the tide, in other words, might be turned by effective work between this hour and o'clock Monday morning The campaign has been decidedly uninter- esting because MT. Weatherly has con- fined his oratorical effects to the sub urbs, and MT. Jones has conducted his campaign in a man-to-man style. In cards printed in the newspaper by the candidates, efforts were made to in 1ect a particle of ginger" but so ln- definite were the points made and so laboriously yelled the thrusts deliv- cred, that this maneuver assumed the significance simply of an Alphonse- Gaston episode.
 Yesterday, MT. Weatherly, on account of drenching he received Friday night in Ensley, was confined to his home. MT. Jones, after a busy days work went to the ball game. Before going he expressed approval of card which had the record of his opponent, from the Jones standpoint, was given.

 The referendum in behalf, of a bond issue of $4,500,000 for the purchase and equipment of a municipal waterworks plant will be successful at the polls Monday. 1t is generally admitted, chiefly because no one has taken sufficient in terest in the scheme to oppose its prog 1esk
