day. The judges will refuse absolutely
to recognize anything not in the ballot

When the hour of has been struck
it will be too late to make good any
These conditions are to make 1t alb
solutely impossible for any one other
than the candidate himself to know
what total he is casting the last day;
this to make this finish absolutely fair
and square.
The contest man has been urging all
candidates to do their very best for
many weeks, and now that the finish Is
at hand, it is up to the candidates to
insure success by doing their very best.
Each and every one of the prizes pur-
chased by The Herald will go for votes,
and 1t is entirely up to the candidate to
secure and cast votes.
If you have delayed or hesitated, but
are still determined to win prize and
show thousands of people you can do
things, you will have to use the few
remaining hours to their very best ad-
vantage. If you have not done so, 1t
is not possible to see all of your friends
now, but this is no reason for your
not getting the votes which their sup
port offers you. Subscription and class
flied advertising order blanks will be
furnished all candidates upon applica-
ton. Fill these out and inclose them
with the correct amounts, and then see
your friends at your leisure.
Remember that the classified adver-
tising coupon books calling for $500
worth of advertising, and offered by
off the market at the close of the con-
test. If you have among your ac-
quaintances patrons of classified adj
vertising columns, you should arrange
to secure their votes. Six hundred
votes are given on a book, and when
five books are turned In at one time the
total of 11,00O is obtained, as the five
books cali for 5000 regular votes and
5000 extra votes.
This is a last word and warning. To
be successful in this enterprise (and
being successful means establishing 1t
record for having the ability to do
things) you must show spirit of de-
termination and, gameness.
The opportunities offered you are
golden. 1t is up to you to use or lose
them.
The Herald has, and can have, no
favorites. The only thing that counts
now is whole-souled, whole-hearted
