The local suffrage campaign, baring its

at well as designate their preferences in

'tlonal campaigns.
i Leaders and managers of the move

' to the people through speech was made
(last night when "spellbinders' of tips
'league addressed crowds on the streets,
pointing out the benefits of home rule
' and urging their auditors to participate
in the election Tuesday.
A keen and general Interest has already
been aroused, officials of the league said
last night and they believe that with the
publicity they expect tha election to 're
ceive through the press to-day and Mon
day and Tuesday mornings the idea of
voting will attract thousands of people
to cast their ballots, either at the deslg
' nated polling places or through the
malls.

In the providing of polling places, re
garding which it was at first apprehen
sive, the league has been agreeably sur
prised Business people have been
prompt to grant the use of their places of
business on election day. The whole
chains of Pyles and Sanitary Grocery
Stores. 17 and 3 respectively In num
ber, together with the three Affleck drug
stores, were made available at once. In
addition, dozens of other establishments
were granted on application, the result
being that to avoid crowding. It has
been found necessary to omit numerous
available places
More difficulty has been encountered In
finding watchers at the polls. About
sixty of these have pledged their serv
ices, but still others ore needed, and the
league Is calling for more volunteers.
It Is hoped by the league tbat the gov
ernment will permit the polling of the
clerks at the doors of the buildings. The
plan Is for league men to hand ballots
to the clerks as they enter In the morn
ing, and to have these deposited at poll
ing places specified on the backs of the
ballots The officials of several bureaus,
together with other officials having juris
diction over streets and grounds, have
agreed to permit the poll. Not all of
the red tape, however, has as vet been
unwound, and It may be that many of
the clerks will have to vote like other
people, namely, by calling at one of the
many polling places

it should be noted, msy vote by mall

say. Thus far, the continuance of the

a showing. Following are results had at

London, Nov. 2. The man most talked
about In Liverpool is E. II. Lemare.
Liverpool wants a city organist and

of so eminent a master of his art as
Mr. Lemare should be secured.
Mr. Lemare himself owns that he has
always wanted tn become in organist of
St George's Halt a post which Is con
sldered the blue ribbon of the organist's
profession.
Mesnwhlle the corporation has decided
to throw the matter open to public com
petition. But to have the Paderewskl
of the organ playing In competition la a
simply unthinkable Indignity. Even a
test principle can be carried too far. and
unless things are rearranged Mr. Lemare
may In consequence consider himself out
of the running.
More than 2u0 professional and amateur
musicians of Liverpool have signed a
petition In support of Mr. Lemare.
