Friends of Teachers, Clerks and Policemen are Hustling for votes-something of the
 Great Exposition.

Votes! Votes! Votes! Coupons! Cou- ! pons! Coupons! All kinds of coupons | in all kinds of shapes, are being depos- ited hourly at The Advertiser counting room by all kinds of people.
 This will be the Rainbow Editors g busy day, for tomorrow a complete list of how all the candidates stand to date will be published, and today the Rain bow Editor will nave his hands full counting and compiling the punches of votes cast for the various candi- dates.
 There have been . few withdrawals from the list published Sunday for va rious reasons, but great many new candidates have appeared to take the places of those withdrawing, and to- morrow's result will show a large in- crease in the list in the three contests now being waged.
 communication from the firemen of the city, signed by the entire force, re- questing their names be withdrawn from the contest was received late Monday night. This leaves the contest between the patrolmen. It Is, there fore Who is the most popular police man in Montgomery?" With the leads will be interesting to see who will prove the best hustler.
 The complaint made by the firemen was fairly we'll taken. They claim the patrolmen have an advantage because they have better opportunities for col lecting coupons, while patrolling their beats. and the fremen are not permit ted to leave their engine houses for this purpose. The Advertiser regrets that the contest can not be finished as was originally intended, but the change in the program comes early in the race and will not interfere with it's success from policeman's point of view. as plenty of time remains for every officer to collect coupons on his best and determine who is the most popular patrolman in Montgomery.
 In order to assist the clerks in count ing votes it has been suggested that all votes being deposited should not be rolled, but cut out the coupon on page by clipping out the black line which surrounds the entire coupon from where 1t states "A Free Trip to Buff. falo," to the bottom of the coupon proper. lay fiat in a package and de- liver in that manner this will per init of rapid handling and be sure to avoid mistakes in the count.

 Has any of your friends retu, ned from the Exposition to tell you of its wonderful beauty. "Lcveliness beyond the telling" is the description given by a gentleman recently returned from Buffalo. The eye may see and the mind may appreciate. but the tongue IS not gifted with facility adequately to describe the manifold beauties of the Rainbow City, in which the people of the Western Hemisphere are so fitting ly celebrating the closing of the old and glorious dawn of the new century.
