Political matters are reaching a head, 
and this week has seen a decided 
stand taken by the citizens of the city 
towards the various municipal candi- 
dates. Mr. Wallis has been conduct- 
ing rallies in every section of the city 
and has spoken every evening. He 
has been assisted by prominent men 
in Civic affairs and has, without ques- 
tion, won many votes by his sane and 
impressive words. The tendency ot 
Mr. Hamilton is to work quietly, and 
it is said that he is content with the 
assurances that he has received, no 
desiring to take the stump in his own 
behaif. 
The Thorndike club held its annual 
meeting at the rooms in the Atlantic 
block on Monday evening, and elected

club is planning to conduct several 
dances during the winter.

Williams for the benefit of the New

ligmetpresenteds Si he, Cusisy inves 
fascinating manner, and was liberally 
applauded for his effort.
