On account of the absence from the
city of some of the solicitors the cam
paign is far from complete in some
districts.
At the hour of going to press this
afternoon it was impossible to give
out any statement as to amounts sub
scribed by the various districts out
side of the city of Manchester 1t is
safe to say, however, that by the end
of the week every township and town
in the county will have it's work com
pieted, and indications point to an
Oversubscription of the Third Liberty
loan.
