house to house canvass on the part
of the candidates and their FRIENDS,
and the usual brass band and hurrah
boys accompaniment TO political
contests have been absent. II is pro-
posed to have more and larger meet
ings later on, and while the usual
club meetings are being held and are
well attended, most of the candidates
on both the Democratic and Repubii-
can tickets, seem TO prefer the house

OF the candidates are therefore maxi
ing personal appeals in their own
way, and, so far as the Democrats are
concerned, seem to be satisfied with
the result, and say that the outlook
for a Democratic victory is all thai
could be desired. One and all say
that the tide is turning away from the
Republican party The indications
are that the high cost of living, and
the scarcity of work are having a
