With One Week Of Campaigning
Left, Candidates Are Grooming
Themselves for Crack Of
Starting Gun.
AN UNUSUAL CAMPAIGN
II Has Been Devoid Of Fireworks and
Has Been Unusually Free From
Mud Throwing Tactics on
Candidates' Part.

One week from tomorrow the start
Ing gun for the nrst lap of the
municipal foot race will be fired. The
candidates and their friends WI.
spend this week in the final groom
ing, the final instructions, and in
jockeying for the best start when the
flag falls next Monday morning.
The campaign this year has been
one of the most unusual campaigns
on record. The candidates have been
hard at work for weeks, but on every
side the campaign is designated as
the gum SHOE variety. This means
that there has been lot of solid
earnest work done by the candidates
with minimum Of fireworks or brass
bands.
Even the veterans Of many cam
paign are qualifying all Of their
guesses as to the outcome with the
statement that "this has been an I'M
usual campaign and you can't tell
what might happen. @
The campaign has not been slow
one by any means. The candidates
have been in training for several
weeks and that they have been work
ing hard is evidenced from the fact
that their cards are everywhere and
that they have been able to pretty
thoroughly cover the ground. At the
same time the quietness with which
the campaign has been conducted is
apparent.
At one of the registration places
Yesterday registrar remarked that
he hadn't seen a candidate around
there, and that usually lney visited
the boards about this time. AS
matter of fact one of the candidates
had accompanied several men there
to register but had not gone inside.
SO far as the candidates them
selves are concerned, the campaign
has been a clean one, and has been
conducted with the best of spirit on
the part of those in the race. Many
of the candidates have met at meet
ings, and in all of their relations
there has been an element of good
sportsmanship which. is so frequently
lacking. Unfortunately some Of the
partisans of various candidates have
INDUCED in mud scattering, but this
cannot be reflected on the candidates
themselves. 81.

East Lacks system.
= Outside Of r. Norris Williams, the
east hasn't produced a tennis phenom
for a number Of years. That's simply
because there has been no systematic
development Of the talent. There are
as many embryo stars in the east as in
the West-but in the east the big men
in net affairs haven't taken it upon
themselves TO teach the young idea how
to shoot-tennis balls. And there's
where the fault has been; that's why
the tennis hOnors IN recent years have
been carted westward.
But they have awakened at last, And
now in the east-they are going TO
comb the courts FOR green timber and
develop X just as the progressive west
has been doing for some years-and
with such amazing results
