RING CONTEST
Standing of the Contestants will be
Announced Next Week for the
First Time--Mdny Votes Cast

AS announced when the contest was
started the first week in September, no
count of the votes in THE REPORTER s
diamond ring contest has been made,
but commencing with next weeks issue
the standing Of the contestants and the
number of votes each has received will
be published and the standing will then
be published each week until the last
two weeks of the contest. There have
been large number of votes cast
already in the contest, but as no count
has yet been made we have no idea who
is in the lead. The friends of the var
ious candidates are urged to send in
their coupons for their favorites each
week. The ring has been purchased
and is now on exhibition &C THE RE-
PORTER office and can be seen by the
candidates and their friends so they
will know exactly what they are work
ing for. The diamond was purchased
from Geo. A. Coe, the Leon jeweler, di-
rect from New York diamond importing
firm, and it is as fine diamond ring
as is worn by any lady living in Deca-
tur county. The stone is perfect one
being guaranteed to be without flaw,
and the prize is one which is well worth
working for. We extend cordial in
vitation to everybody to call and see
the ring, for it will show for itself as to
value and beauty.
The following is list of the candi-
dates at this time, given in alphabetical
order, and with no reference to their
standing. 1t is not too late yet for
other candidates to enter and little
work in soliciting subscriptions would
put new candidate up with the lead
ers, as each new yearly subscription
secures 600 votes, while payments by
present subscribers secures two votes
for each cent paid on subscription. In
answer to numerous inquiries we will
say that no votes can be allowed for
money paid for advertising or job work
as the contest is confined solely to sub
scription collections, with no side issues
as this is the only way to give all the
candidates an equal chance to win the
prize. And remember also that Leon
ladies are barred, thus giving the can
didates who reside outside of Leon the
opportunity to win this handsome $500
ring.

AS we have stated sew eral times since
the nomination of Judge Parker for the
presidency, it is DEMOCRACY to vote
for him on the ground of economy in
governmental expenditures, even if
there were no other reasons for so do
ing-of which, however there are many.
He so thoroughly represents the party
on that question, as we'll as on imperial
ism, militarism, constitutional govern
ment, etc., that no democrat should be
led to vote for his opponent by the
specious persuasions of the opposition
that the money question is all that
should be considered by the democrats.
His election would be a great stride
toward better government, regardless
OF the fact that he is not in sympathy
with some views of the great mass Of
the party. He is thoughtful, calm,
studious mantle direct opposite of his
egotistic principal opponent in these
traits of character.
