THE HERALD'S
VOTING CONTEST
Now on in Earnest-Let
Candidates Come.
MORE PARTICULARS OF RACE
No Finer Premiums We're
Ever Offered for Just a
Little HuStling.

The Hartford Herald's voting con-
test is looming up since the people
are getting acquainted with the mat
ter and the rivalry between the diff
ferent candidates promises ito be excit-
ing as the races progress. Some peo-
pie, however, seem to be rather slow
in catching on" to the particulars OF
the contest and the value of the af-
fair as gift proposition. We do
not know that we could add anything
to the particulars as contained in the
large announcement occupying the sec
ond page Of The Herald to-day and
which has appeared in two previous
issues.
We have been asked as TO when a
candidate should enter and the pre-
liminantfes necessary TO announce one
self. To this we answer that any
lady or gentleman resident of Ohio
county can enter the race-or be en-
tered by a friend-any time between
now and the close Of the year, and
all that is necessary in the way of
an announcement is that the name
be handed into The Herald office with
the request that it be placed among tie
list of candidates. OF course some
ballots must accompany the name
in order to get it among the List OF
candidates and Indicate The stand
ing of the party in the race. Then IT
all depends upon the hustIng OF
this party as to how she or he pro-
crosses in this contest.
We wish to impress upon the public
and those who contemplate entering
the contest, the value of thase pres
ents to be given away. There is noIh-
ing cheap nor shiOddy about any OF
thin and they Will be absolutely Civ
en- away upon the conditions speci-
fled. Several expert performers have
tried the piano, which is ON exhi-
bihion at ]. b. Tappan's jewelry store,
Hartford, and they all pronounce III
an instrument of easy touch, wonder
fully sweet tone and possessing all
, the requirements Of a fine, first-class
piano of the most improved style and
reliable make. The lady's gold watch
Is Of the same quality of It's KIND,
and may be seen on display in show
window near the piano. just clip
the description of it from The Her
aid. show Ii TO any experienced jew
eler and ask him what that means for
a watch.
The handsome runabout buggy,
which Is on exhibition at the store
Of the Ohio County Supply Co., Hart
ford, should be seen and examined to
be fully appreciated. No more sub
stantdal, useful and beautiful We
hacle of hts kind was ever broughS
within the county limhs. Besides
these qualifications, 1t is easy-rtd-
ing, roomy and fully warranted by ITS
maker. Russell e. Gardner, the cele-
brated buggy king of ST. Louis. Eth
"er one OF these valuable presents Will
be a 10y for years to come for the
lucky person who wins 1t. They are
certainly worth striving Dor, and
they will be an ornament and an h5no
to the persons who win them.
We have been asked why we limit
the time of the official ballcIs as
printed in each number of The Herald
and make them good for only ten days
after the day of issue. This is done
In order to keep them from accu-
mulating in large catches. II we did
non place a time limit upon each is
sue of ballots printed, there would
in all likelihood be quite a number
of people who would clip and preserve
them until the latter days or last
day of the contest, and then 1t might
. take half dozen judges a week to cor
rectly count them. These ballots, how
ever. count for but one vote each,
and the date arrangement does net
preyent anyone from subscribing for
or paying up back dues ON The Herald
and getting credit of twenty. votes
for everyd ollar paid any time be-
4 tween now and the last day of this
wear. In this case certificates are
issued for the number of woes de-
manded in the payment. In ether
words, the race is open all the time
between now and the close.
A ballot box is now being kept In
