The co fcorts have thus far effected little orr tranization .of ;. iheir forces, "however, for systematic work, but it is predict ed that there "will not be a section within the city limits that will not at one. time "Jor v another- revereberate with the noise of -a brass band ; and the sound of stump - orators' voices. In ; business .circles the" commission form has a decided lead : . and f the prospect of obtaining the commission forin of government appeals strongly to the- majority of local business men The i campaign nevertheless, Is " open- ing up with strenuousness that will eclipse any recent political movement that. ; the city has ' passed through. while speculation is running rife as to what the returns rvrtil? be from the outlying districts when the ballots are counted. Leaders on; both sides are laynig claim' to this large vote which will ;s have , much weight In deciding: the approaching contest, and many of the speeches and meetings tobe held will take place in the seven outlying wards oX the city, while most of the campaigning - in the ' four original wards will .be in the uptown district.

Inquiring for -copies ' desiring to procure one' of each in order to compare the relative merits of the two ; documents. It Is evident that the 'citizens are going, to do a great deal of thinking for them 6elves and that the two charters them selves will be mere attentively heed ed: than much of the public discussion bearing on the subject. ' The practical issues ..are the ones which appear to be drawing the at tention of the majority of voters.

There is also much ; interest noted among voters as to; what extent , the campaign will develop into ; heat and turmoil. . Many citizens believe, how ever, that the fight willTbe a good-natured one and that the contest will at no ; time assume the aspect of a wild political wrangling and filibus tering. The . work ahead is a task that will enlist the strongest ' men on each side' and the coming, contest will bring but a complete and thorough dissection of both charters before the people for their vote on the day of the ejection.
