has been q most peculiar one, as Wa
have not only the war on hand, but
the epidemic of influenza has made it
prohibitive to carry on campaign in
the usual lively manner. 1t therefore
makes 1t impossible for the candi-
dates to get acquainted with the peo-

candidate have been circulating free

making 'gum-shoe" skirmish for
votes. For one who il interested in
one party's success and the particular
candidates, It ID indeed gratifying to
hear the many favorable comments
that are coming in regarding the
Democratic candidates. They are
making clean, hard fight--no mud
slinging-and they are of such high
character that they command not
only respect but confidence.
