The opportunities of the public at
large to vote for the man of their choice
for United States Senator are cop-
spicuous for their absence.
THE Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express their opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the in
terests of the Diamond State in the
councils of the nation.
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any state within the history of the ma
tion.
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at the head of this
column and send it to The Sun. We pub
lish the number of votes received by
each candidate every day in order to
keep the voters posted.
THE Sun also makes this offer. The
winner in this contest has the privileae
Of naming any charity in the state to Be
the recipient of one hundred dollan,
which will be paid to the said charity BY
The Sun.
The contest will continue until the
first ballot is taken in the Legislature.
There is no law or requirement which
makes it necessary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, though we would
rather you would. They will be counted
just the same, however, if you do net
wish your opinions known.
Send in your ballot and help win that
$l00 for some deserving charity.
All votes credited to each contestant
do not necessarily represent all the votes
received for each contestant. They
merely represent those that are counted
