The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1912-06-13
WEDNESDAY,, JUNE 10; ALL
WAITING FOR THAT DATE
The Exact Hour of the Great Event.
3 p. m. All Anxious as to the
Results.

Wednesday, June 10, at three p. M,
there will be anxiety written on the
faces Of many of the people in the
town of Oakland, and in this sec ton of
the county, as it will be at that time
that it will be decided who is to get the
beautiful prizes in the Republican vot-
ing contest. First of ALL the young
ladies vino are in the contest will be an
NOUS to know who is in the lead, be-
cause the one who has the most
votes, will have first choice Of the
prizes and naturally she will take the
beautiful piano which has been on eX-
hibitiOn in this town for several weeks
past. If she has no place to put the
piano she undoubtedly will be made
cash offer for the instrument the
moment it is made known that she is
the winner The other prizes will also
be announced at the same time, and it
will be up to the ladies to choose which
they will take, according to their stand
ing.
On Wednesday, June 18th. we will
have some person at the phone who will
answer all questions, 50 do not be back
ward about telephoning in and asking
who the winners are.
1t is not believed by these who have
given the matter any careful thought
that any particular person has the grand
prize cinched at the present time, but
there are several in the race who have
a good chance to land it if they will only
hustle, There is one thing certain, and
that is, the person who does land it will
get one Of the best instruments of the
kind ever unloaded in the town OF Oak
land, finer than silk, that sums 1t all up.
There are several Young ladies who
appear to have the best Of the contest
at the present time, but none of them
have a sure cinch Of being the ultimate
owner of the first prize. If one of the
contestants who is Wav down the list
should take it into her head that she
was going to win the big premium she
could do so. She would have to do
some work to make it, but that was
what was expected when the contest
opened. Several punches of seven new
subscribers and renewals in the group
of seven would put the lowest candidate
in the race up among the leaders.
For those who wish to vote without
any competitor seeing them the contest
editor desires to state that cash with
your subscription, telling where the
paper is to be sent and to whom the
votes shall be given can be placed in an
envelope and deposited in the ballot
box. The judges will open these en-
velOpes as soon as they start to count
and will credit all votes, including bonus
votes. In order to secure bonus votes
on merchants coupons they must be
counted at the Republican office before
being deposited. In this way it will
readily be seen that no person can tell
anything about how many votes con-
testant has, as the bonus votes will be
issued by the judges at the time they do
the counting.
Miss Dewitt and Miss McRobie were
almost even at the last count. Several
others are well to the front and are put
ting forth every effort on the home
stretch to win the coveted prize. ANY
of these ladies can land the prize if they
will take the time to get out and solicit
new subscriptions and renewals, as they
count up rapidly and they carry with
them the big bonus offers. Here is the
way all votes count, and remember
