:. Fhiry Stories.
No doubt You have heard one or
more OF the rumors which are GO
ing around. Such and such a eandi-
date has so many thousand votes in
reserve. but, believe 1t, il you never
did before, that any candidate who Is
boasting OF the number Of votes that
he or she has in reserve Is doing it
to scare you out OF the contest. Are
you going TO be foolish enough after
you have worked hard to get the re-
suits that you have up to this stage
Of the contest, to lay down and be-
lieve any one or more OF the fairy
tales which are in circulation?
Previous to the closing of the last
two special offers rumors were cir
cGlated that different candidates had
thousands OF votes in reserve, but af-
ter the result was announced at the
close OF the special offers 1t was
seen that the candidates who were
picked by some to be the winners
were not in 1t at all.
The best thing for any candidate
to do Is to keep their own counsel.
Tell no one how many votes you are
holding In reserve. candidate who
has votes In reserve will not go
around and shout about 1t, but a can
didate who only has a few votes will
often shout about II and scare (if he
possibly CAM some of the candidates
II you are in this contest to win a
prize, 1t Is up to you to keep on work
ing and see all the people that You
possibly can and get them to sub
scribe. Pay no attention to rumors
Remember that 1t is going to take
more than the mere remark OF so and
so, who may or may not have SO
many votes in reserve, to scare you
out

ing day OF the contest, as positively
