HURRY THE BALLOTS ALONG,
AS THE DAYS ARE FLYING
Leaders in the SalesIades Contest Working to
Keep Ahead but the Others Are Coming
on With Remarkable Rapidity

But flfty-three days, including Sun
days, remain in The Herald's Sales
ladies' Contest. Not very many when it
comes down to figuring the days, is it7
Well, that means a little accentuated
work for every contestant in the race.
Especially, II the candidates expect to
make any kind Of q showing the last
day, Dec. %. Just flfty-three days to
convert every non-subscriber of The
Herald to an ardent reader. Can this
be done2 Is asked by many. Before
the close of the contest n great major
ity of people will come in of their own
accord and cast ballots for their favor
lite I'm the race. OF course, there will
be many backward ones, as there al
ways are in affairs of this kind, and
contestants will probably go after them
with hammer and tongs and try to get
them to see the benefit derived and
persuade them to see that the votes
should go to such and such n one.
That is the way to do It, and no one
will refuse six months or a years
subscription to help the ladies along
to secure votes. And unlike other con-
tests, there Is value given for value
received. Every day of the contest is
gaining momentum. Like an ava
lanche which starts from a small stone
or ball of snow, 1t goes until IL reaches
great magnitude and sweeps every
thing before it-as this contest started
and will end. Its beginning was was
modest enough, but 1t has gathered
a great amount Of interest as 1t has
rolled along, and by Dec. 90 other
things will have faded into insignih-
canoe, and the Salesladies Contest will
be the all-consuming topic. And we'll
1t might be. No other offer of its kind
has ever been inaugurated in Los An
geles, and the general public has not
IN rro hn 10 tod
ness of the affair. The five most popu-
lar ones will receive the 5000 in prizes
without cent Of expense to be borne
by them. Pretty good offer, isn't It?
That is what The Herald is going to
do, and the readers of this publication
will decide who the winners shall be.
Vote today for your favorite. Vote
as you would for a representative In
congress.
Only three more days remain in this
week. These three should be good ones
with every candidate. The average
has been well sustained the last few
days, and candidates should do all in
their power to keep up the record and
get as many more votes tomorrow and
next day as they have on the other
days of this week. 1t can be done. Get
your friends from the city and country
to subscribe for you. Bring them to
The Herald office and explain the
proposition thoroughly to them. The
hustle and furry occasioned by the
contest will do them good to see. Make
the last three days of this week the
banner ones for the number of votes
to go into reserves.
THE VOTE YESTERDAY.
The coupon printed in yesterdays
paper proved to strike a very popuar
chord in the public interest, and
number of the ladies' will have their
totals increased several thousands
Saturday. The count yesterday was
quite heavy and will sustain the aver
age of the last few days. 1t seems that
there is no lack Of interest in the con-
test, and why should there be? Day
by day the end is drawing nearer and
this fact alone should warrant de-
termined increase In interest.
