LEADS N BOTH CONTESTS
THERE IS BUT LITTLE CHANGE IN sTANDEsG
DDATEs THIS WEEK 4iEADERs ARE PULLING
ABOUT EVEN. LEADING EACH OTHER A MERRY CHASE
GRAND

The enthusiasm Of some Of the cam
didates in the contest may be d.
rected toward securing subscriptions
wholly. and others may be devoting
much valuable time in trying to col
lect coupons exclusively and are hav-
Ing their friends do the same. If
the latter exclusively, and failing to
take advantage of the votes which
may be secured on subscriptions,
they will be disappointed when their
coupon vote is compared to that of
their neighbor who has secured a
larger number of votes on new sub
scriptions.
Don't lose sight of the special
prizes offered by the Pilot for votes
on subscription. They are on dis
play in Stacey's jewelry store. A
diamond ring for the first prize. a
gold watch for second, and a gold
bracelet for third. All of them we'll
worth just little extra effort-in
fact gigantic effort.
The grand prize piano has been
attracting lot of attention lately
Everybody who goes into Senay's
store wants to look it over and try
1t, and see how it looks inside. It's
sure dandy, and is going to make
some one handsome present. Some
of the candidates can hardly grasp
the idea that it is going to be Civ
en- away absolutely free, but such
is the fact. Absolutely free! It
will not coat the winner a single
penny. Yea, It's a $3.50 piano. 1t
is not every day that a present like
that is given away in the communi-
ty.
We wish. to impress upon the can
didate thai all votes secured on sub
scriptions to the Pilot count on this
piano alsos One years subscription
counts 5000 votes. 2 years $4,000
votes and : years $4,000 votes. You
can see by this that you can swell
your pile prstty fast. There are
lots of subscriptions that you can
round up yet.

Do you realize. Miss Candidate
thai there are only five more weeks
left of this contest? Five weeks
more in which to hustle votes? o
yes. you might say, you have plenty
of time. but now that the contest is
beginning to slide over into the Sec
ond half is when increased efforts
will be required to keep up on the
list.
There are number OF live candi-
dates on the list who are working
like beavers, and it will not do for
anyone to let up. or they win most
likely get setback that will be
hard to. recover from.
It Is getting to be red-hot cam
paign. The war for votes Ii going
on steadily. So far it has been a
regular see-saw; first one candidate
ahead. then the other. It is not
likely that any one will be able to
pick the winner until the final count
Is made. Each one Of the leaders
have q host Of friends. and they are
all receiving loyal support.

BOOM WILSON
FOR PRESIDENT
Jersey Governor a Democratic
Possibility in 1912.

Baltimore, Nd, April 19.-The boom
of Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New.
Jersey, as a Democratic presidential
possibility in 1912, heard frequently in
different parts of the country, was
launched in Baltimore at the first
meeting of the annual convention of
the National Association of Shellfsh
Commissioners.
1t was during the speech of Charles
r. Bacon, of Camden, N. j., who is
president of the association, that Gov
ernor Wilson's name was mentioned.
He came to the 'front.' said Mr..
Bacon, with the mark of the machine
upon him, but he quickly dispelled all
doubt as to where he stood on that
score and in few weeks had won the
people of our state as no other man
had won them, and they are heart and
soul with this new kind of governor
Woodrow Wilson-and we are going
to lend you this man in whom the
people can safely rest every conf
isce He Is NOT 0rffy -s'3ey nan of the
hour. He is the man Of the future for
all America"
Great applause followed Mr.. Bacon's
allusion to Governor Wilson, and after
his speech Mr.. Bacon explained that
he meant that New Jersey would lend
Governor Wilson to the people of the
United States for four years as their
president.

of the Society.
Washington, April 1S.-The Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution
opened their annual session here, and
it promises to be one of the stormiest
in the history of the organization.
President Taft made an address at
the opening session, in which he told
the Daughters that, although he knew
there would be enough differences of
opinion in their meeting to add in
terest to the occasion of their visit, "
he hoped the meetings. would be at
tended with that love and amity
which we hope to see established
throughout the world"

opposing factions has added to the bit

contest for the control of the society,

have lined up with one or the other

filed by Washington women, always
eager to attend the D. A. r. conven-

Soldiers Meant For Philippines De-
Iayed by Mexican Crisis.
Washington, April 19.-The depar-
ture of all troops now under orders for
duty in the Philippines will be delayed
six months.
This is generally attributed to the
serious situation in Mexico, the presi-
dent being unwilling to disturb the
forces on duty in the south.
At the war department it is explain
ed that the postponement is due to q
decision to make the tour of service
in the Philippines two years and a
half instead OF two, as at present.
This proposition long has been under
consideration and the acute Mexican
situation seems to have presented an
opportune time for putting it into ef-
feet.
Positive assurances that the Mexi-
can government will adopt definite
restrictive policy along the border"
and news from Douglas that the rebel
forces have evacuated Aqua Prieta,
did much to relieve the high tension
under which President Taft and mem
bers of his official family have labored
for the last few days.

that fighting which endangered Ameri-
