Councilman Samuel Sablotsky had been speaking about a minute at Landers, Frary & Clark's yesterday noon when Alderman J. Gustave Johnson, republican, passed by on foot.

 Just how much good noon day rallies actually do will always be q debatable question. Some politicians think the factory hands give serious consideration to the arguments theY hear at the gates, while others frankly consider it time wasted Still, it would not seem like 9 cam paign if the veteran Thomas J.

Judge Mangan, have at least one characteristic in common in that neither is given to lengthy spe eches IL they should stage a debate, 1t i would not be well for the audience | to be late in arriving, for the meet ing would be over in less time than it takes most spell-bindors to even make a start towards the point. Apathy Meeting Away
 Interest in the campaign is awak- ening somewhat, it seems, but the voters as yet are far from the fight ing mood most elections produce. The story is being told of a prom rent professional man who had to be informed of the day and date O: the election and the news of the candidates. Apparently all h. knew about the month of November was | that Thank sglving Day is the 21th.
