reption. The campaign has, after all,
resolved itself into contest OF in
dividuals or groups. rather than sides.
This has been more apparent during
the last week. Citizens are appreciat-
ing more than ever ffiat they are about
to select seven directors to manage
their municipal corporation for the
next three years and they have been
investigating the qualifications of can
didates rather than the claims Of
slatc-makers. One war horse ventures
this prediction:
Without attemptin to forecast
their relative strength, the best pre-
diction that can be made at this time
il that Ure, Hummel, Zimman
Ringer, Towl, Falconer and Smith
or Dahlman will lead the field on
Tuesday. There is a possibility Of
Jardine or Butler breaking in for one
OF the seven Places
The campaign has not been without
its humorous side. One OF the NOR
sells OF levity is the hyphenated en-
dorsement Of Dahlman and Smith by
tlie-focal democratic organ. In many
talks the mayor and Smith have de-
ciared that neither cares for the votes
of any who favor the others The
widest political breach exists Between
Dahlman and Smith and yet the
World Herald advises voters to sup
port both. The polls will be open
from 5 a. m. to 8 p. m. in IS voting
districts. In addition to voting for

quarters to German inspiration and, in
fact, on May they were revived in

German representatives in Russia to
make inquiries regarding them.
