Who will be the next governor of
Minnesota?
This is an interesting question to all
good citizens, but to GLOBE guessers it
isn't one-half so interesting as is the
question, how many votes will each of
the four gubernatorial candidates re-
ceive. In other words, there is no
particular advantage or gain to be made
by "picking the winners" in the
GLOBES great guessing contest. The
same prizes will be awarded to lucky
guessers as to the vote polled by the
last candidate in the race as will be
given to those who come nearest sizing
up the vote of the winner.
All gueSSeS must, however, be filled
out on the coupon printed below. A
few days since a number OF good
guesses were sent in from Verndale,
Mimi. They were thrown out for the
reason that they were written out by
the guesser instead of being filled out
on the regular coupon. The terms of
the contest are recited very plainly
below. and all persons desiring to take
hand in this contest and compete for
the numerous handsome prizes offered
by the GLOBE should read over the con-
ditionS carefully, remembering that all
gueSSeS to count must be filled out on
the regular coupon.
The readers of the GLOBE who reside
at distance from st. Paul should re-
member that their guesseS will be cOn-
sidered if mailed within two days after
the receipt of the paper. There are
thousands of GLOBE readers living at
such distance from St. Paul that the
paper does not reach them for several
days after it's publication. 1t is the in
tention of the GLOBE that no readers of
the paper shall be debarred from this
contest, and. if On receipt of the GLOBE
containing the coupon the latter is
clipped out and mailed to the guessing
editor within two days, such guess will
be entered in the contest. This eXpla-
nation will enable the gentleman who
wrote the following letter, and all 9TH
ers situated like him, to take part in the
GLOBES famous guessing contest;
