A grand political rally un Como Square at Ouaclita and Central ave. nues Monday night al 7:3o o'clock will bring the present city campaign to a glorious close and tbereafte" there is nothing left but for the voters to go to the polls Tuesday and in the secrecy of the voting booths ca ( their ballots in keeping with their | dictates
 The present municipal campaign has been an unusual one in many re. spects. At the time that Harry A. Jones, the democratic nominee, was the winner in the primary there was very little upon which 10 indicate that he would have formidable opposition His election was at that time regard ed as a foregone conclusion
 Later in the race there was a re- ligious prejudice aroused against his candidacy. which made some unrest among the followers of the democratic party. and turned many away from his support. The reports were eXagger. ated and were in some pagts wholly false Friends of the nominee aided him in personally getting among the voters and refutina the false things said. and within a little while the pendulum began to swing back. until at this time there seems very little doubt of the election Of the demo- cratic city ticket.
 IL is generally estimated that tine number of persons entitled to vote in this city primary on the required 1913 poll tax receipt, is about 2.35o Of course the full vote IS never boiled, and often the vote is very light, but Uni. time it is generally estimated there will be close to 2o0o votes polled next Tuesday. This it seems is conservative estimate
 In the primary election there were almost l,400 votes cast. and Of these Mr. Jones received 7S4. and Mr. Wa. ters 535. MT Jones carried in that primary every city ward but the sec. ond. and that was the ward in which Nr. Waters had resided for many years, and conceded to him through. out the campaign The second ward is always a democratic ward, and will give Jones handsome majority next Tuesday.
 In the first ward Jones in the ori- mary had lSS votes to Waters 106 That will be another Jones stronghold iii the primary ot Tuesday. Much if not all uf the Waters vote in that ward will join in support of the nominee In the third ward in the primary the vote was close, but Jones had a ma. iority of eight votes and will carry the precinct in this election by prob ably 90 votes The fourth and fifth wards were overwhelmingly Jones in the primary. The fourth is deme- cratic ward that will adhere to the party and the fifth, though republi. can ward, finds a situation where many of the leading business men who a~e republicans are supporting the democratic nominee
 The sixth ward is considered the battle ground of the present cam raien. The sixth gave Harry Jones 179 votes as to l33 for Waters in the primary, anad in a general election. where almost 800 votes will be cast
 in m sixth ward box. it will be c.ose as to which side will get the decision The ward voting precinct is usually on Third street but the ward itself is one of the largest in the city, extend. ing as far in to the city as Grand ave nue, and as far east as the Hot Springs creek line, taking in. there fore. large section of territory not usually designated as South Hot Springs.
 The ballot is a short one. and the judges and clerks are selected from viewpoint of efficiency. which means that at least by n o'clock of Tuesday night a very comprehensive view should De had of the political situa- tiOn.
 The returns will he received at va riOus places about the city.
