with their usual enterprise, have ar
ranged for the announcement in their
columns of an exciting, interesting and
profitable contest, wherein, by the dis
play of skill, some of their readers can
become rich men and women.
The Advertiser. always aiming to
keep abreast of the times. gives its
| readers not only the latest news fea-
lures, both telegraphic and local. but
whenever possible to make the paper
more interesting in other ways the
management has spared neither pains
nor expense.
Through our Chicago representative
we have arranged for the announce
ment of the Lion Coffee Contest, which
appears elsewhere in this issue, in
which details are given of how $50, 600
will be awarded to the public, and
those readers of The Advertiser that
display the necessary amount of pains
patience, research and skill may be
made rich.
$4,000 to BE Given Away.
The Lion Coffee people will give the
readers of The Advertiser one or more
votes in their contest. on mailing to
them FIVE lion heads taken from the
Lion Coffee packages and a 2-cent
stamp for each vote. There are two
contests-one being based on the at
tendance July next at the Worlds
Fair, st. Louis, in which $4,000 Is to
be awarded; the second contest is bas-
ed on the popular vote for President
fall candidate combined) to be cast on
November next. On this contest $780,
600 will be awarded, and, in addition
to this, capital prize of $1,000 will
be given to the one nearest correct on
both contests. This makes $4,000. the
ether $1,000 being reserved for the gro
GERS clerks that sell most Lion Coffee
Montgomery Must Win This Money.
Some of this money has got to come
into Montgomery. In the 4,279 cash
prizes to be awarded there are $4,000,
$4,000. $1,000 and $500 prizes. and The
Advertiser would like to feel that it had
been the cause of some one getting this
money.
st. Louis Opening Beats Chicago.
In order that our readers may have
some information for estimating, we
will compare the st. Louis Worlds
Fair with Chicago.
The Chicago fair had as an opening
days attendance 1857. ST. Louis on
its opening day had f7s,423. This
ought to have some bearing to show
that st. Louis will draw larger crowds
than did Chicago.
The July attendance at the Chicago
Worlds Fair was 2s3.273, and 1t is up
to you to estimate what the attend
ance VIII De at st. Louis.
How the Presidential Vote Runs
The contest for popular vote for Pres
ident at the national election, which
takes place on November s, next. gives
Advertiser readers a second opportun-
ity to gather in a goodly lot of the
Lion Coffee shekels, while the one who
is nearest in both the Worlds Fair and
the Presidential contests will receive
the grand special premium of $4,000
cash.
The meaning of the term popular
vote" is the total number of voters
who cast their ballots for all candi-
dates. In other words, II is the sum to-
tai of the Democratic. Republican, Pro-
hibition, Socialist, Labor and all other
ballots cast for President on any and
ali tickets, on November s, 1904.
As a guide to guessing we give the
figures of the popular votes for Pres
fdent during the past four elections.
which were as follows:
1885,. ....-.... 49,. ll,soO,ebO
1892. :. :. .............. 12,059,S 1851
1875. =. ''.''''.'''.''''. Lap zo'StS
1t will be noted that each four years
shows an increase, and it is safe to
figure on about the same average ra-
ito in 1904.
