THE FINISH VERY CLOSE

THE FINISH VERY CLOSE
Coupons Pouring in Almost Too Fast to be
Counted-Several Seem Certain of
Victory.
The REVIEWS contests for the most
popular young lady in Denison and in
the county outside of Denison will close
on Thursday at 3 p. m. at the fair
grounds. So many of the contestants
aud their friends have asked us concern
ing the final rules for the contest that
we give the exact information here
with. The polls will open at the fair
grounds tomorrow noon; during We'd
nesday and up to within fifteen minutes
of the close of the contest black board
will be provided and the votes will be
publicly counted as cast and the foot
ings will be placed upon the board in
plain view of all. At 2:45 p. M, on
Thursday the public count of the bal
lots will cease and the contestants and
their friends will be allowed fifteen
minutes silent voting, At 800 p M,
sharp, the ballot box will be closed, the
votes counted and the announcements
made.
We wish it distinctly understood that
this not money making scheme on the
part of the REVIEW, nor is the prize to
be won by the one putting up the most
money at the last minute, or any other
time The REVIEW, in order to in
crease its circulation has provided that
all new subscribers shall be allowed
ten extra votes. These subscribers
must however be bona fide new sub
scribers. The extra coupon cards are
for sale to new subscribers or to some
person authorized by them to subscribe
We wish to be clearly understood on
this point and trust that no one in his
zeal will try to over ride this rule.
We feel that the REVIEW and the
people of the town and county are to
be congratulated upon the character of
the contestants. There is not one upon
the list who is not worthy of the prize
and not only worthy but deserving. All
of them are young women who are to a
great extent making their own way in
the world and to whom the scholarship
would be great help. We are glad
that the readers of the REVIEW have
taken hold of the matter with such
earnestness and a desire to do good
There are many other splendid, indus
trious young women in the county
whose names have not been brought
forward, and some of the deserving
ones in this contest must necessarily
be disappointed. We believe tina
Crawford county may we'll be proud O
the contestants and that they in turn
whether successful or not, have reason
to be proud of and thankful for tn,
efforts of their friends. The prizes tt
be awarded are as follows
First Prize-To most popular young
lady in Denison- Twenty weeks schol
arship in Denison Normal College.
Second Prize. Handsome Ladies
Chatelain Watch and Chain-donatet
i by Mr.. E. G.. Chamberlin.
First Prize-to most popular youn,
lady in Crawford county, outside o
, Extraordinarily Weeks Scholarship
in the Denison Normal College.
: Second Prize. A Beautiful $40 Hat
, donated by j. P. Miller & Co.
These prizes are we'll worth winnin,
not only for their intrinsic value bu
for the weight of friendship that goe
with them and for the honor of havin,
won in such contest.
The ballots have been coming in YER
fast the past week and some decide,
changes will be noticed in the result o
the count which was made at 10 o'cloc
today. The Denison contest is especial
ly close, three of the candidates bein
within two hundred votes of each othe
and the fourth having made such dc
cided gain as to show that her friend
expect her to win.
In the county contest the Charte
Oak candidate has made the larges
gain since Friday having doubled he
vote in that time. Both contests will
be close and the candidate who think
to go to sleep until Thursday night an
wake up winner will be disappointed
So far as we know, however, none o
the candidates are inclined to do thi
and the contest will wage merrily unit
the close.
