The Contest Man, some have the idea
that votes cast can be consolidated

understanding, for nothing of the sort
will be done. Every vote cast will
stand just as 1t is, no more, no less,
unless you add to it by legitimate

is accumulating tickets from the
stores. such tickets are absolutely
void and non-returnable.
