Why don't YOU guess?

The meeting of the Democratic state
committee in MINNEAPOLIS last Wednes-
day and the fixing of the date for the
state convention has served to stir up
livelier interest in the approaching cam
paign. All Minnesotians, without re-
gard to nationality, sex or age. who have
arrived at years of discretion, have an
interest ana a curiosity in solving the
problem presented in the approach
ing state election in Minnesota.
We're the GLOBE mt offering
a number of valuable prizes for those
who can come nearest to estimating the
number of votes that will be cast for
each of the four gubernatOrial candl-
dates that will be before the voters of
the state in November. there would still
be reason for every reader of the GLOBE
to try his hand in figuring out the way
the voters of the state will exercise
their right of suffrage in the fall cleo
ton.
But why should you not win from s25
to 500 in cold cash, or gold watch or
two, or, again, possibly years sub
Scription to the DAILY GLOBE?
Remember that it costs You nothing to
make a gueSS.Or as many of them as y0u
like. All that is necessary to be done is
to cut out the coupon printed below. fill
it out properly. and mail it to the Guess
ing Editor of the GLOBE, st. Paul,
MINI.
The Farmers Alliance men placed
their guesses pretty high during the
past week. in several cases estimating
that Owens vote would go as high as
100000. Others again were more mOder-
ate. and fixed it at 10000 to $4,000. This
squirt of the farmers may have been
caused by the appointment of the Alli-
ance campaign committee. II this was
the case it will be interesting to note
what effect "Doc' Fish's ''roast" on this
committee will have dnring the COM
ing week.
Guesses on the probable vote of the
Republican and Democratic candidates
ran nearly even during the week. in
dicating that there is general feeling
that the votes of the two old parties will
be very close together this year. Prohibit
ton guessers set their estimates way up
again. In several instances $4,000 was
the number predicted for Pinkham.
The lowest guess of the week on the
Prohibition vote was 10.250. If this
may be taken as an indication of the
feeling through the country. the cold
water people are plucklng up courage.
for several 5000 gueSSeS were recorded
last week.
Several more guesses have been re-
ceived written out on note paper, and.
although they have been excellent pre-
dictions, they were of necessity cast into
the waste basket. Those who desire to
take part in the GLOBES prize contest
should remember it is absolutely nee
essary that all guesseS be made on the
printed form given below. There is no
limit to the number of guesseS that may
be made by any one party. but they
must be made on the. regular coupon.
