Then, there is much better and quicker way of securing votes by having your friends subscribe 10 the daily Graphic for a year if possible. Votes Will also be issed on all job work turned in from the country districts when the cash accompanies the order. Every cent must represent sub scription and the above are the only two ways that votes will be issued during the contest.

A diamond ring to the contestant standing first in each district after the capital prizes have been award ed. a beautiful suit of furniture 10 the contestant standing second m sch district a full course scholarship will be given to the contestant stand ing third in each district at the close of the contest.

Many Nominations to Hand in Great Auto Contest
 Which Starts Monday.
PUBLIC IS ENTHUSED
Watch For Your Name and Start Out
 With the Determination To Win.

There have been contests and con- tests but it is expected that the con- test inauguarted by the Daily Graphic will eclipse anything of the kind heretofore attempted in this section of the state. And why should it not 5 be the best when the state of Ark ansas numbers among it's inhabitants more bright and energetic and more popular men and women than any other part of the United States.
 The result of this contest will con- vince anyone who has any 5oubt of the above statement
 Then there are the prizes. Noth- ing like this offer has ever been pre- scented to the public of this state before. The best indication of the fast that the contest will be a hum msr. is that everybody is talking oi it now, before the names of those whom will participate have been pub lished.
 Paramount Questions.
 The question which etsems to be of the people in this section of the state, is how can the Daily Graphic give small fortune in 1rizes with out remuneration?
 Do not get the mistaken idea that the Daily Graphic will not be satis- fled. The Graphic is noted for launching great big enterprises and carrying them through to success full conclusion.
 So do not let the question of how @ this paper will fare on the detl worry you. The object of the con- test is to advertise the Daily Graphic so that it may be seen on the read ing table of every home in this Sec, tion of the state, and no expense will be considered in bringing about this end.
 Names Appear Sunday.
 It is now several days since he announcement of the plan to give away several thousand, dollars in valuable prizes to men and women, married or single, old or young, was made Sunday the names of ladies and gentlemen nominated to date Ill this great race will be published for the first time.
 There will, no doubt, be many sur prises for the readers of the Graphic as we'll as for the contestants, whose Thames have been sent to the contest department and who do not know at this time that their friends have nominated them as participitants in this good natured tug of war.
 Some of the contestants who have entered their own names have al- ready commenced to ask their friends and acquaintamces for votes and sub' ecriptions, and have received their promise. which in most cases Is as good as "a subscription itself, as 'l will be redeemed later in the race It would be good idea for all those intending to take part in the con- test to commence asking their friends for their support at once.
