doesn't know. neither does any one
else. Rumors of what such a candi-
date has in the way of votes will be
rife but they should be treated as
rumOrS.
The name Of the prize winners will
be printed in the next issue of the
Monitor.
a candidate may know what she has
herself, but it is very certain that no
body else can know.
Some who did not appear to be in it
on Wednesday may, before Saturday
night have enough votes to give them
prominent position.
THE DAY OF RUMORS-
In every contest Of any size there
are a great number of groundless ru-
mors rife, and experience teaches one
pretty much to disregard them. But
for the benefit Of the inexperienced,
we may say that the final day seems to
have the same effect on rumors that
the first warm day has on the budding
flowers, they simply burst into bloom.
If you should not hear some very
surprising things between now and
Saturday that would be more sUrpris-
ing than anything you can possibly
hear. Tomorrow you will be laugh
ing at the reports which the result has
proved untrue.
THE VOTE WILL HEAVY.
Everybody is holding back their
votes. They have been waiting
for the last day. 1t is now here, all
week the contest department has been
busy issuing votes on subscriptions
which contestants have taken to add
to their reserve fund.
While the vote in the standing TODAY
seems large to some Of the candidates,
there are others who have something
up their sleeve for the last moment,
who realize that several thousand
| votes will be necessary to secure the
! auto. rings and other prizes. Watch the
| Monitor for the result, and be pre-
: pared for a surprise in the size of the
) vote required to win.
: PLEASE COME EARLY.
: Votes and subscriptions will be re-
} ceived in the contest department until
10 o'clock Saturday night but it must
be borne in mind that there will be
many crowding in, all with the same
idea that they can be waited upon
Immediately. If you will put off
until evening to bring in your subscrip-
/ tions, you will have to do a lot of
waiting yourselves.
THIS IS THE LAST WORD. THE
: CONTEST CLOSES AT 10 O'CLOCK
t SHARP SATURDAY NIGHT.

The beginning of the end.


And, what an end!
A glorious finish to the greatest
newspaper contest ever begun and car
ried to completio on in Orleans county.
The big field of candidates is working
to-day with double efforts and from
now until Saturday night their efforts
will be tripled, Quadrupled. manifold
in fact hundyedfold by friends also
at work.
Just to illustrate This morning a
woman stopped one of the Monitor
men on the street and handed him one
dollar and a half to pay for a years
subscription to the Monitor. She said
they already subscribed for two years
in advance, but made it three
straight to help candidate. The
Monitor has been a regular visitor to
! tbs family for years and they like it so
we'll they say they will take it in the
! future from generation to generation.
! 1t is this firm hold the Monitor has
upon the affections Of its readers
that inspires to greater efforts to be
worthy Of such confidence.
The Monitors auto and other prizes
to be given the winners has resulted
in the most stupendous subscription
contest in the history of Orleans
county. At the halfway stage it has
broken the record contests in this
county. Now, it surpasses by far any
contest and the end is not yet.
Not yet, but soon. For the hour has
almost struck. Saturday night at ten
it will be all over. Work for the night
is coming. Candidates themselves
will determine the winners by then
work. It's working contest The
grandest prizes ever offered are the re
wards, but they are the rewards OF
hard work. The hardest workers viii
win the auto, rings and other prizes
If any candidate has fallen short anC
not worked as hard as she should il
the past she can yet win out by hare
work between now and Saturday
night.
Nobody wants to be a good loser un
less they find it impossible to be {
good winner, therefore, don't waists
one single minute thinking what yol
would do if you lose, but take every
precaution to assure yourself a place
among the winners. We want every
one to come in Saturday with a big
bunch of subscriptions. Those who d,
are almost sure to win the prize o
their choice.
ALL OVER AT TEN O'CLOCK.
It will be all over Saturday night a
ten o'clock but the shouting?
That cant come until the last vote i
counted and recorded, for then only
decision can be reached-and withou
that what use is there in shouting?
There is no telling who will do tbt
shouting. The contest department
