PREDICT BIG VOTE
 IN ELECTION TODAY
EST MATES SHOW THAT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES WILL
 WIN HANDILY.
The Sixth Ward is the Only One Con. ceded by the City Organization to Be in Doubt, and in That Majority Will Be Small.

With bands playing and with some. thing of the spectacular. the munici. pal campaign ended last night when the City Democratic Central Commit tee held rally on Como square, and the opposition gathered at the Audi torium theater to make a last appeal for support.
 At the democratic speaking there were such well known men in local politics as Judge Thurston P Farmer. W. W. Waters, Judge C. T. Gotham, George H. Bedding. Jesse F. Murphy and Harry A. Jones, the democratic nominee himself, to make an appeal for the full strength of the party and the business vote today to overwhelm the opposition.
 w. w. Waters, who was the rival of Harry Jones in the primary, made d speech last night in which he called the attention of the people to the qualifications of MT Jones. and called the attention of the democrats to their duty to support the nominee Judge ThurstOn P. Farmer and Judge C. T. Gotham made stirring speeches, and George R. Bedding reviewed busi- ness conditions and showed where a man who had so consistently contrib uted time and money to public enter. prises as Harry Jones was worthy and every honor at the hands of the people
 There have been many estimates of the result of today's election. The city democratic campaign committee has made up an estimate which shows there will be about 300 of the 1882 votes cast and that of these Jones will have close to 1,I20, and the oppo- sltlon will nave aboCt TOO It is the contention of those wlo have can yassed closely that the city ward 5 will all go for the nominee win the single exception of the Sixth and that will not be strong against the party ticket
 The campaign has been peculiar one in the political history of this city. The business interests expressed demand for a new man in politics who had not been ever before identi. fled with political factions. In an. sWer to strong demand. Harry Jones entered the primary against w w Waters, one of the strongest pub lie men in the city, but one who be. cause Of years of public service along political lines had naturally his DO litical followers and his political enc mics. In that primary Jones was the winner, and after the primary there have been few to predict there would be doubt about the result of the cleo tion of Jones.
 Later, foreign issues were infected into the race, and these preiudiced some of the party vote away from tho nominee. The opposition organized in a strong manner and made the best of it's opportunity.
 The ticket will be a short one and easily counted, and it will not be late tonight when the verdict is known The weather conditions invite q large vote and it is probable the vote will run something more than 2.OOO
 There are 2,392 qualified voters. ac cording to the poll tax books, which will be positive guide for the cleo tion judges. Of course of that mum. Der on the lists some will be away rom home, some will have passed away since paying the 1913 poll tax, and others will not vote. so if there are 2.0OO votes cast it will be consid. cred a full vote
