| Show CLOSE OF THE registration DEC 28 was the last day of registration and in one sense the issue of the coming municipal election will be determined this afternoon with the closing of the lists hats never before has there been such a canvass in this territory and never before have local political parties put forth such efforts to organize and augment their strength the balance of the work of the campaign will consist mainly in convincing those who are registered ered which way they ought to vote from now until february is the time to lay jay facts and logic before the public the registration has been flagrantly and notoriously partial such a thing as a complaint from a liberal of difficulty in getting his name on the list has not been heard ot of while hundreds of peoples peopled party men mein have been put off har bar and hindered in their efforts to get registered and some who were lawfully entitled to register have been prevented from doing so 80 by the tactics of the registrars notwithstanding all the disadvantages the peoples peopled party have labored under it is confidently believed that their names outnumber those of their opponents on the ai lists ats and that barring fraud they will surely be victorious if during the time for which the lists are publicly exposed prior to the election the names of liberal colonizer czerp can be spotted and expunged the majority will certainly be thrown on the side of the peoples party As the canvass has progressed increasing numbers of men who have never trained with the peoples peopled party have become more and more mere doubtful of the advisability of taking j the city government out of the conservative serva tive hands that have so long well and faithfully administered it to commit it to those who will give the city the character of a mining camp or frontier railroad town undoubtedly the peoples party would have added to its strength materially could it have had a few i days mo more retime time in which to get its friends registered but it has good grounds for confidence in respect to the outcome on election day |
