v- r PAGE SIXTEEN THE WILMINGTON DISPATCH, SUNDAY .MORNING, MAlRCH 17, 1918 ' ' . niuniniTrn Annum li. . il ' ill r CANDIDATES ADDING : FINISHING TOUCHES All Are Carefully Groomed for Tuesday's Ballot Battle Today finds all candidates careful ly groomed for Tuesday's battle, when the voting citizenry of the county will walk up to the polls and express its approval and disapproval of the va rious candidLtes entered and if thera was trepidition in the ranks of any of i the forces marshalled on yesterday afternoon it was not apparent. orv nan didate aDneared confident of winning out, although those-less in terested are agraed that tne race i going to be "mighty close" in several instances. The unopposed candi dates, which include Constable John novk riork Tf Court W. N. Harriss, lAnz-mAr Jnhn A. Orrell and J. Felton fHead, candidate for the office of pub- flic defender, have worked almost as. faithfully as have the others, urging thq voters to remember them as it is their desire to roll up as big a vote as possible. . Opinion differs greatly as to who c nrtnallv eoinc into office, but prac tically all are agreed that a second primary will be necessary tor me nomination of register of. deeds and county commissioners. Several of the Candidates are in the running without rnrnKition and interest insofar as these are concerned, is at a minimum ns thfr nomination is assured. It is vastly different, however, as regards Ithe other candidates, none of which 'will even admit defeat as a possibil ity. The general opinion is that in three or four instances the voting win hft olosft and that it will be almost im- jpossible to name the winners until ixne last vute 10 iu. nvi. a, w. -" 'candidates, however, are practically certain of walk-overs. S .Inst what cart the out-of-town fvote will play continues problematic fal. It was stated on reliable author- Stv vesterdav afternoon that from feO ho 100 men at the fort would vote in Tuesday's primary and other absen tees are expected to send in their votes, having provided themselves fwith the necessary ballots, ine gen-fer&r- tmd exstanding, however, is that fthe vote at the fort is pretty evenly Idivided and consequently will play no fpart in determining who does and Who does not go into office. I Ci Candidates have but one more day an which to add the finishing touches jto their individual campaigns in event Ithey observe the Sabbath, and the presumption is that they will, al though there may be some wno will iecide to continue maKing nay wmie the sun is out. Monday as expected o be a day of unusual activity on tne Dart of all opposed candidates in preparation for the final show down Ion the following day. ; SAYS CITY HAS GROWN.
