The campaign for the November election is practically over. Nearly every one has made up his mind by this time how he will vote and there will be little change next Tuesday from the situation of today.

Hampton has been pretty well canvassed. More or less apathy exists, as is always the case in the first election after a presidential one, but with good weather and unremitting effort on Tuesday a pretty fair vote will be cast.

The majority will depend entirely upon the number, who remain at home, and there ought to be a pretty good reason for staying home in a caucus year, when the biggest possible vote is needed.

The fight for no-license is being waged with skill and determination.
