Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-03-06

week. but the Grammar school fas
gotten nearer the leader, due large
ly to two reports that came In from
one or two sources where customers
are strong for this worthy instftn-
ton. Reports from merchants are
extremely e~rratic, only half being In
this week.
We here make a special request OF
all business men to give us a full and
complete report, each and every q
Of you. next week. Remember when
wednesday rolls around that this
duty is due, and give all an oppor-
tunity next Monday to see exactly
what the lay Of the land is. We
don't want these voters cropping In
the dark,~as the time is here, when
strenuous efforts will be made to
wrest victory out of apparent de-
feat. so let us have full light upon
the situation, by everybody report
ing the coming week.
There is a hot fight on between
the big four, with the Dana Refer
Society still pounding away with
out cessation. These mon and their
families are persistent rooters ear
Iy and late, and any moment may
see them flirting with the leader
with increased effectiveness. The
society's work Is the real sensation
of the contest, and II they had the
powers numerically they would have
made a runaway race of 1t no doubt.
The time has come now in the big
contest when all sorts OF malicious
rumors will be set afioat, due to the
intensity Of the rival spirit which is

the fate of all contests where the
interest is intense, and right here we
want to notify all honest workers
that there is a man behind the gun
who has been manning Just such q
gun over ten years. and the contest
Is a thing close to his heart. The
whole system is A. B. C.'s to him,
and every n has simply got to walk
would follow. A committee of your
own representatives will award the
library and every report, every vote
is carefully preserved for their In
spection, and this committee will
put their signatures to a verdict COM
mending the plan as accurate, clean
and honest. Remember, bring your
complaints or write them If you have
any, to the Contest Man, 80 Union
Square, New York, and they will be
treated In confidence.
There is a big rush on today for
the extraordinary vote privilege at
the stores. Hundreds r keen and
eager to make this opportunity for
doing sledge hammar service in the
vote getting business count for their
favorite. 1t is needless to say that
this la not q sentimental proposition
entirely, and We would be foolish to
advance such q theory, for there is
the commercial side to it. The con-
test man is eager to see new GUS
toners enter the contest stores, and
his efforts are always exerted to this
end, and this move Is purely and
an inducement for your trade.
The big book contest has mel with
q hearty response among thousands
In Perth Amboy and for which the
promoter feels most grateful. He
knows the contest ts a clean, whole
and he will always fight to this end.
The vote for the Grammar School
his week aptly confirms the predic-
lions Of the people yer that way
hat they are In the race to win. They
are after the Library in dead ear!
lest. The friends OF the Dana Re-
ief Society, st. Mary's church and
he High School seem to be plugging
away unremittingly. II any ~coterie
II workers would make a ~mathemat-
cal estimate Of what they could ac-
,omplish If their expenditures for
week were devoted to the Com
est Stores, in q united fashion it
,ould easily be seen that any of these
above mentioned could
the existing maJorities In a
very short time. Ii the Contest Man
were to assume the leadership of any
,r all contestants, he would first ex-
act q promise of every member to
buy his hardware in the up-to-date
stores of the Perth Amboy Hardware
and Paint Store, for by this method
ifty or a hundred thousand votes
could easily roll into these wide
awake dealers ballot boxes in conse-
thereof, then he would get ev-
cry maJron OF a home to pledge her
self to select a grocery store and
The Meat Market for these ar the
which are a daily grind.
The mex petition he would make to
the ladies would be to direct their
to the Dry Goods Store Of Phil
lip Levine. when the dry goods pur-
chase came around and last, but not
least, by any means, to get the habit
OF 'clip the coupon" as many hun
dreds have, for therein lays a power
for votes.
