Is the Way Some People
Would Like to Cast Their
Ballots,
But This They Cannot Do in
the North Star
State.
They Can, However, Follow
This Rule in the Globes
Guessing Contest.
Full List of the Prizes to Be
Awarded to the Lucky
GueSSerS.

Have you tried your hand at the
GLOBES guessing contest yet?
If you have, there is no reason why
you should not guess as many more
times as you can get coupons. In this
like all other contests, the more the mer-
rier. Every we'll informed politician in
Minnesota agrees that the coming state
election presents greatOpportunity for
surprises all along the line, and the best
of them decline to go on record as to the
probable vote that will be polled for the
heads of the various tickets that
will be in the field. The only way,
then, to make sure that you are in the
GLOBES contest with some show OF
winning one or more of the handsome
prizes offered, is to guess as many times
as you can get coupons, and Oh all the
different candidates.
The ladies and the children all have
a chance to enter this contest, and dur
ing the past week probably a majority
of the guesses received have come from
these two classes. This shows that
everybody feels an interest in the out
come OF the coming fall campaign
as well as in the GLOBE guessing con-
test. The vote of the state in former
elections is being closely studied, as
well as the political reports and gossip
of the day, which, by the way, is not
the least of the many good results ac-
complished by contests of this kind.
Only when the people of state know
how to use it can they feel sure of be-
ing able to accomplish political reforms
demanded by their interests. The
study of the situation in this state can
not fail to be beneficial to the people.
The following letter was received a
day or two ago:
ADA, Mimi. Aug. II, 1690.-GueSsing
Editor Globe: Enclosed find coupons
which have filled out, but which l
fear will not be accepted because they
will not be received within two days aft
er the publication of the coupon. In
this case should be unable to guess, as
i do not get the paper until OH Satur-
day, when it is published on Wednes-
day. Please let me know if you will
accept this or not. Yours respectfully,
NORMAN COUNTY GUEsSER.
The GLOBE realizes the fact that its
circulation extends from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and intends that every read
er shall have an opportunity OF making
one or more gueSSeS in this contest. Of
course the coupon cannot be mailed to
the guessing editor before it has been
received. 1t must, however. be started
back within two days aftor the receipt
of the paper. For example, if our Nor
man county friend receives his WEEKLY
GLOBE on Saturday he has until Mon
day to fill out and return his coupon.
This will allow every reader fair
chance to take part in the contest. and
will be fair to all.
From ClaremOnt, Dodge county,
comes the following inquiry:
CLAREMoNT, Aug. %, Embarrassing
Editor: Can we guess on one coupon
for all of the candidates, or for one CAN
didate at time? Respectfully yours,
DODGE COUNTY.
One coupon is good only for guess
on the vote that one candidate will re-
ceive. If any one desires to guess on
all the different candidates they should
secure four coupons, fill them out and
mail them to the guessing editor. This
is exactly what at least half of those
who sent in their guesseS last week did.
The fact is that it is possible for any
one to carry off the entire lot of prizes.
All that is necessary is to make the best
and closest guesses. and the world will
be yours as far as this contest is con-
