Evening journal., 1910-12-03

THE JOURNALS = Great NOung Con-
test. No day passes that is not marked
by the receipt of new nominations or
some evidence of new interest. Each
day some section not heretofore repre-
sented sends in a nomination or de-
velops an active contestant, showing
that the contest is broadening as it
reaches the intense and earnest
period.
Nominations are not closed and THE
JOURNAL wants more energetic per-
sons residing anywhere in it's terri
toy to enter the race and compete for
the valuable prizes it IS oSering.
There is plenty of time left TO enter
the race and win. A little energy, a
little determination is all that is re-
qulred.
Much voting has been done since the
list of candidates was printed on last
Wednesday. To-day's list shows the
scores of a majority Of the candidates
advanced over those of the last list;
none, however, to any considerable
amount. The total vote has been di-
vided fairly even between those con-
testants who have evinced an active
interst. This shows that the race is
starting off without handicaps and is
as it should be.
To-day's list includes only tho daily
ballots received before noon Of Friday,
as we'll as the subscription votes tblue
slips) not in excess of 5000, for q
number of contestants Votes received
since yesterday noon will be credited
IN the next published list.
Many nominations have been receiV-
ed from the districts outside of the
city Of Wilmington. showing that the
people out in the state are beginning
to realize what the contest means 10
them. A large number Of prizes have
to 20 to these outside districts and
everyone has an equal chance to win
one of the grand prizes. Every mail
brings letters from points through
out the state, asking for more informa-
ton concerning the contest. And many
of them sent votes that their names
might appear to-day with score
equal to the others.
The special Saturday ballot, good
for twenty-five votes, appears again
to-day. and each candidate should try
and get as many. of these as possible
Candidates may send IN as many OF
these special ballots as they can Sc
cure. There is no limit to the number
that can be turned in by any one cam
didate.
The special ballot attracted much at
tentidn last week and it is safe to say
that very few of them will be over
looked to-day.
