earnest and large number of others
are quietly canvassing the situation
with view of entering heartily into
the contest. The way new subscribers
are commencing to pour in is evidence
that the votes can be easily had for the

and thereby stand as good chance as
any one of winning that elegant piano.

the largest number of votes to her
credit at this announcement will be

the race will be on in earnest. and the

the PLAIN DEALER each week.

LOOK FOR 1T. Anyone may nomi-
