CANDIDATES ARE
 BOTH CONFIDENT
Former Willing to Await Figures From POlls.-Republicans See
 1000 Majority.

 "I have never seen such strong democratic vote cast in a mayoralty contest in this city," said the mayor, "and I look upon this as the best in- dication that the democrats will win. This remarkably heavy vote is due to the efforts of the workers. Every member of the party feels that a crisis is at hand, and is doing his best to swing the. tide of battle in our direction.
 ''If these efforts can count for ev- erything, when the polls close there is every reason to believe that there will be a sweeping democratic vic tory"
 The mayor would not commit him. self to definite statemnets, however, being content to await the ansNer from the polls.
 MT. Halloran will receive the re- turns at his home on Grove Hill.
 Candidate Quigley was confident that. the whole republican ticket would be elected. He preferred to make no statement but prophesied that the ticket would win by a plu- rality of between 700 and 1000.

Deliver Anti-Saloon Literature oI
 Eve of Election.

The prohibition party have taken an eleventh h-hour shot at the saloons by distributing literature lately urging the electors to cast their ballots for F. G. Platt, candidate for mayor, and others on the ticket.
 Don't be April fooled" the lit erature says. The saloon must go. Your vote is needed. Long enough has the Christian church been tend- ing the back door picking up drunk ards. It is now the time when she should send her members to the ballot box and by their votes bar up the front door-April 14th."
 The literature also bears the calen- dar of the month of April. The "14' is missing but in it's place arc the words. '"The saloon must go.''
