The West yirgtnian's Eurpean toi:r
contest department is being compelled
10 work overtime these days counting
the enormous number OF coupon votes
and special ballots trped in each da.'
The enthusiastic manner in which tic
people Of FaiEmoat and Marion couIsj
are taking up this waiting contest is
highly appreciated by the West Vii,
gluian and the manager Of the contcst
depastments
The otfer Of this paper to send foaf
young ladies oHs six weeks free tna.
81 Europe Is a proposition seldom un.
dertaken by publications in cities the
size OF Fairlnont and from present in.
dlcations no mstake was made VIII i,
the West vrginlan decided to give TIE
lsdies OF this city and vicinity an oa-
portlnity to spend a sumner vacation
III Europe. with every penny Of ey-
iiense paid from the tine they leave
FaiFmont on July IL untiI their return,
stxsweeks later.
The friendly rivalry for first pm
t,on IN each Of the districts Of the Ell
y TNpean tour contest grows moro spirit,
cd as time advances and the weakef
candtdates are finding additional
champions each day. The efforts b..
lHg put forth by the nominees toward
winning this delightful educational
tour of Europe are beginning to show
Id the West yrglnian each evening.
Contestants are rapidly forming .:
sanizations; battle lines arc being
drawn. and from day to day these will
become more distinct, anu in propoi-
ton the more attractive 10 public attn
Jim and interest
Thus sfarit ls.alybody's race in a .
district. The contest has about sl:.
weeks to run yet, and there Is amp;e
tlmo for any candidate to win.
May Vese Any Time.
Many ot the candidates, taking adj
vantage OF the long time allowed for
voting special ballots, are withholding
quite a neat reserve vote. 1t Is often
ii question as to the aaylsahllity a'
sttSh-a plan. but there are arguments
both for and against It Il candidate
makes a steady Increase in her vote,
slowing her friends that she Is actua.-
ly busy in her own behalf, many VII!
gladly encourage her as q rtsu".
Again, d candidate who experds her
entire special vote may find her
friends willing to help some opponent
who is not so vel along in standing
Remember, special ballots may lie
voted at any time in any qDanttt:.
rcn.yote coupons may only be vote !
al the rate Of 100 (1,OOO votes pcrda3j
and candidates are requested not TO
present moro than this amonnt-for
the sake Of the contest department!
Already the west virginian manage
ment sees the probability OF az in
crease in circulation greater than II
3 heretofore dreamed OF, and II the cot
testants keep up the gait they have
set for the remainder OF the contest
ttere will be very few homes in all
this portion Of tho country which ara
not visited daily by the West vlrg'A
Ian,
VIII Appear Tuesday.
All coupons counting ten vote,
reaching this ONCE up to four oclceh
>. ln, Monaay will be counted Tues
day and appear in the lists Of thai
evening
Again the contest manager desires
10 Impress the advantage OF an early
start and the gpod results Of day-to.
day effort. 1t is not always the "ru'h
work that in the long run counts
at least not 80 much as reasonable
amount OF work every day.
IT'S tie droPby-drop that piles Is
a great reserve force that makes tllo
winner in the final count,
Some candidates work one day and
then.res two but the wise Candidate
works every lay-and never day
sses that something isaceqmpiish
