or THE CANDIDATES

The votes in the automobile contest
will be counted up this afternoon aft
er the rush of the day is over and the
use of an adding machine can be Sc
cured and half a dozen people To as
sist in sorting and putting the diff
ferent candidates votes together. The
announcement will be made in to-
morrow's papers. the weekly in the
morning and the daily in the after
noon.
The vote this week has been very
heavy one and although the contest
has run but 10 days, the highest can
didates vii! pass way over the 100000
mark. or the indications all fail
The mana cement does not want
any one TO become discouraged If they
are behind. The contest is too young
to forecast the result and many things
might transpire: help Of friends, drop
ping out Of other candidates. etc. to
enable one or more who are way down
the list TO make big strides towards
the top.
Remember that one OF the rapid
methods Of getting votes. in addition
TO trading with all the merchants and
business houses who give votes and
encouraging friends 10 do so, is to
subscribe for the Star. either the daily
or weekly edition: get your friends to
do so. and those already subscribing
10 pay up their subscription.
The worry. the work, the writing,
the advertising. printing everlasting
boosting. explaining, etc. in contest
Of this kind falls OF the newspaper and
the newspaper men conducting it, and
1t has been customary in all contests
OF it's kind TO issue large numbers OF
n
subscription list OF the paper. Cir
c1Ilation is the desire OF all news pa
pers. In printing and advertising the
Star issues the same number Of votes
for the money spent with them that
the other business houses do, but in
the matter Of subscriptions we offer
additional Inducements in the way Of
votes for subscriptions. This is as
fair to one as 10 another, az each
candidate can do as much in this line
as the other one. 1t makes the vote
| run high and stimulates all 70 keen
| rivalry
The Star will therefore issue the
following number Of votes for sub
scriptions. NJ 20 two years for the
| daily and five years for the weekly.
The scale has been given already
Above this number the following

tions, paid in advance. Civ" different
subscriptions for one year or one sub
scription for five years. ctc) count the
same. a the rate Of 5000 votes for a
years.
Above five and up TO 10 yearly sub
scriptiOns. single or double. at the
rate Of 10000 votes for each years

scriptions would get 10000 votes and
10 yearly subscriptions would get
100000 votes.
The scale will be the same on the
weekly list, for the money spent and
the subscriptions secured. five weekly
subscriptions counting the same as
one daily subscription. No greater in
crease will be allowed over this but
contestants can get any number of

Now get busy. Money must be paid

Washington, March 12.--The sum

Most Serious In History.
The contest will be the most serious
legal battle that STANDARD OiI' ever
has faced. The arguments will be on
the appeal of the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey from the adverse
judgment of the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of Mis-
souri,, which ordered the dissolution of
the New Jersey corporation as an il
legal combination and monopoly in
restraint of interstate commerce. To
point out the alleged errors of the cir
cult court in its findings and in its de-
cree, the keenest intellects within
command have been procured.
The circuit court announced grave
findings against the seven individual
defendants. John d. Rockefeller. Will
liam Rockefeller. Henry NJ Flagler,
Henry H. Rogers, John d. Archbold,
Oliver H. Payne. and Charles NJ. Pratt,
the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey, and other defendant companies.
Findings of Lower Court.
The court found that in 1899, by an
exchange of stock by the seven individ-
uals. the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey acquired the legal title to
majority of the stock of 19 companies,
which in turn controlled large num-
Der of others, all but one engaged in
the oil business. What 1t found as 10
