Votes in 189? City Officers Race Nears Deafening Finish
An 1899 style analysis predicts a tight city officer election with Bookwalter favored by Republicans and Maguire competing closely. Voter turnout estimated around 40,000 with prohibitionists about 1,500 votes. Polls show a 2,000 Republican majority possible but internal canvassing may erode it. Democratic strength remains steadier on the home front as both sides expect a whip-like finish.
