for a number of people in Southern
California, in which territory the pop
ular voting contest of The Los Angeles

territory has been divided into sixteen
different districts for this contest, and
each district will be a separate and
complete contest in itself.

way, you should enter your name or
that of your friend, at once. There is
a great pleasure and experience in be-
ing in a contest of this kind, and those
who enter at the start, of course, have
the best chance of winning one of the
prizes.

of The Herald, calling for one vote,
and may be voted for any person al
ready entered in the contest or for any
one desiring to enter All that is nee

ber of votes each one has will be made

testants all over Southern California

A. B, c, and d contests, which are for
candidates outside of Los Angeles only.
Contests numbered L, 2, 3, 4, 5, g. 7, s, 9,
