OF TIE political campaign prior to
the election Tuesday. An air OF con-
fidence seemed TO pervade both re-
publican and democratic camps. and
many predictions were rife that the
interest in this campaign would re-
suit in a heavy poll.
Final preparations Of both poll
tical leaders included Cling up the
machinery necessary TO get their
followers TO the voting booths. Auto
mobiles, as in the past, will play a
big part in getting the vote to the
polls. and this. it is expected, will
naturally result in heavier balloting
than was at first anticipated

II was reported further that con-
siderable last minute wagering was
taking place, but this apparently
was more among individuals as

dividuais indicate that thousands Of
dollars have been waged on the out
come Of the election Tuesday.
No general speaking campaign
was held Monday. the repub-
licans having officially concluded
their meetings last Thursday night
while the democratic nominees end
ed their campaign Sunday with a
