The friends of the minist ers have be-
gun to work in earnest. There is rea-
son to believe that some will hold back
votes. There is no reason for and
nothing can be gained by this course.
This contest is a perfectly fair one and
will be to the end. -....
Request is made that those sending in
any number of votes will please write
plainly upon the outside of the envelope
the number of votes sent. They will
also be careful to cut out the ballot, no
more and no less, trimming it neatly to
the line. They will likewise avoid roll
ing them them. Observance of these
three simple injunctions will greatly
abridge the labors at this office.
The interest in the result in some quar-
ters is extraordinary. Many Of the
friends of the preachers are greatly con-
cerned as though it meant a suit of
clothes or a cane or a portrait for them
personally. They employ all their elo-
quence to persuade friends that their
own particular candidate is the best and
most deserving of popular support.
The name of the candidates appear in
the order of their standing. The first
in the list has received the largest mum.
Der of votes, the second the next largest,
and 50 on throughout the entire list, the
one at the bottom having received the
least number. If your candidate is well
down on the list it indicate that it will
be necessary for your friends to besti1
yourselves on his behalf if you would
have him win.

The first is to make selection of .

candidate the second step is to work

lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
