Winners Feel Proud.

The winners may well feel proud
of the fact that they have won one
race in a thousand and come out
with the deserving honors Of having
outrun and outclassed workers who
have done amazingly well, and who
would under ordinary conditions
have had enough votes to win.
The candidates nave all done
splendidly well, and some have been
more successful than others, but this
is In a measure due to the hustling
ability of the different contestants.
All Could Not Win.
It Is to be deplored that all could
not win the grand capital prize, THE
OVERLAND AUTOMOBILE, or the
other capital prizes, but this Is in
The nature Of things impossible, and
one sympathizes keenly with those
who have put in days and hours Of
hard work and then failed to win the
prize for which they have striven,
but even then the work has not been
all wasted effort, The constant
striving after success, even though
The immediate object Is not realized
cannot fail to do good in the long
run.
Now that at last the contest has
closed, it is with pleasure that the
awards are made to the successful
and deserving candidates who have
been chosen by the public at large Ia
be given the different prizes.
