thase scholarships that we are Civ
ing. 1t is a laudable ambition on
! the part of any young lady to want to
perfect herself in business methods
and every one will be willing to help
her. Do not delay, but start in at
once, ask your friends to save the
votes for you and when paying their
subscriptions to be sure and get the
votes from the collector
Large Vote Cast.
With the close of the voting Sat
urday noon almost every contestant
in the three districts had been heard
from and their count materially in
creased over what they had received
at the close of the box Saturday
Great Interest.
On all sides interest in the great
popular contest is taking a great in
crease and patrons are selecting their
favorite candidate for whim they
are voting literally.
The LADDERS are increasing their
vote and those who are in the con-
test in earnest are gaining every
day. 1t is interesting to keep check
of the battle of ballots and every
mail makes some changes in the rela-
tive position of some candidate. Now
it is one contestant that receives q
boost toward the top and then an
other But the standing as publish
ed in he paper does not tell the whole
story. 1t is a good thing to keep
near the head of the list, but it is a
greater advantage to have a reserve
back of which no one knows anything
about, and which can be bEought into
play later on. With all your votes
in the paper it is an easy matter for
anyone to see exactly what you have
and how many it will take to beat
! you in the end.
Industrious Forge Ahead.
The list of candidates and the
number of votes received by each
J show that the industrious are forg-
ing ahead in the battle of the ballots.
The votes are free, but in many cases
it is necessary for the candidates
to go around among their friends
and gather them in. These free votes
are given for payments on subscrip-
tions, for new subscriptions and also
for coupons and nomination blanks
printed in the paper daily. The votes
on the subscriptions are free and the
number is in proportion to the
amount paid at the regular rate.
Subscription Ballots.
All ballots issued on subscription
payments are good any time during
the contest and for this reason we
do not deem 1t advisable to hold
their subscription back. BY having
the paper started to the subscribers
you will be able to secure their cou-
pons and nomination blanks.
Everything Fair and Equal.
Every part and phase of the con-
test has been planned out in the ut
most fairness. The territory. both
in the city and the country, has been
divided into districts so that candi-
dates in one part of the country will
not be competing with more favor
able conditions than candidates in
another part
In the city of Salem the interest
