Women Resent Charges.
The large and enthusiastic crowds
which have greeted the speakers on
the Tobin ticket during the entire
week is the basis for their prediction
Of victory. Although the Fiesta had
been expected TO attract large crowds
and To keep them away from the politl-
cal rallies. Sheriff Tobin and his run
ming mates were astoundpd at the size
of the crowds which welcomed them
everywhere at their meetings during
the week. The Denver Heights and
West Commerce street meetings Fri

Too Much Criticism.
Supporters and leaders of the
Stoner- Black ticket. il was openly as
serted Saturday are feeling littlc
blue. The rousing Tobin meetings of
the last week. and an absence of en-
thusiaSm at their own meetings. 1t is
claimed. contributed to the feeling of
gloom. The leaders are said TO rea-
lie that they pitched their campaign
on wrong issues. that they have gone
before the people with a platform of
criticism father than construction and
that it has acted MS boomerang.
Another indication that the Stoncr-
Black crowd is feeling anything but
optimistic is that there is 10 Stoner
money being offered. Several reports
Saturday morning that there was
Stoner money available. when run
down. failed TO produce any coin of
the realm. II was even reported th t
Tobin supporters were offering odds
and even commissions. So f.r as could
be learned 10 bets have been secured.
Hone 10 Get One Over.
Indicative VI the desperate straits
10 which the StonPr-Black leaders have
been driven came reports Satur.1y
morning that they were naying work
ers one the West Side $40 day to
solicit votes FOR them. Whereas they
were optimistic ut the outset that their
entire ticket would he elected. the
leaders are now said 10 take the
nosition thai they will be satisfied il
they get one man over. General pre-
dictionS. however. are that the entire
Tobin ticket will sweep into office.
