sota's Governor ?
All Creation Is Trying It's
Hand at the Globes Novel
Contest.
Valuable Prizes in Store for
the Several Lucky
GueSsepS.

The blast from the desert that Is driv-
Ing the thermometer mercury to the vi
cinity of 96 has onlyinspired the guessers
of the Northwest to take turn at the
GLOBES speculative contest. Answers
pour in faster than the 'OSSeS" come
In at Hamline, and at the present rate
the GLOBE will be compelled to employ
an additional expert to examine and ar
range the returns. The interest created
in the guessing contest is not limited to
Minnesota alone. Not only do answers
pour in from Minnesotans and other
states, but guesserS have developed all
over the two Dakotas, Iowa and Wis
consin; and random shots at the BULBS
BYE have come III from Portland, on the
Pacific, to Ithaca, n. 7.
Have you guessed yet?
There is no cost attached to it.. All
you have to do is to cut out the coupon
below, and after filling in the political
party-Democratic Republican, Alli-
ance or Prohibitionist = make your
guess of the vote and mail it to this
office. You may win the money prizes
and You may win an elegant gold
watch. If you have made one guess and
think you can improve it, guess again
and then again, as often as you choose,
the only restriction being that your
guess must be upon coupon out from
the GLOBE.
The guesses are interesting.
There are some from sage old Re-
publican farmers who are sure the AL
lance ticket will win, and their figures
show their belief. Ardent Prohibition
lists send no guesses that show their faith
in the coming heaviest vote their party
ever polled. Hundreds of Democrats
are sure they will win this year, and
send in figures that, if verified, will be
the vote of the next governor of Min
nesota. And there are undismayed ed Re-
publicanS who, in spite of the tide
against them, think Merriam ''dead
sure winner" and send in their gueSSeS
accordingly.
It's all i'll the guess, after all.
The Minnesota voting public is
thoroughly worked up this year, and
there may and may not be surprise
party. Your guess which seems a lit
tie wild now may be the winner OH the
ideS Of November. Try it, at all events.
