The indications are that in a short
while the candidates in each dis
;rict will know just who their real
opponents are. although there is al
ways the dark horse" which, some
how or other persists in being a win
ner In every contest.
,, Great Campaign Il Now On in Earnest
The voting Is so uniform that very
few are many votes ahead.
Next Vote Exhibit Sunday-Who
Will Lead?
The great triumphal march of rhe
vote getting continues day BY day.
Enthusiasm is marked on every ballot.
Each diminutfve single vote told plain
| " the efforts OF the contestants to
reach the coveted position as leader.
Some OF the candidates are worry
Ing over what the others are doing
In the way of securing votes, Tie
campaign manager cannot tell, for he
does not know Here. however. is
a pertinent question: Don't YOU think
that your competitors are worrying
equally as much over what You ma%
be doing in the line Of votes? the
prizes are just as aIluring To them.
and naturally every candidate is ex-
pecting to be numbered among the
winners
Do not he deceived by the appar
emily small vote of those behind you.
Keep hustling and amass for your
self sufficient votes to be prepared for
any surprise that may be sprung, by
some Dark Horse"
Are YOU advancing or slipping TO
the rear? Tomorrow may start with
rush.
How iii YOU fare
With gain In Your standing
All right?
Everybody will get votes from now
on,
And everybody needs them, For il
is votes that win and YOU can win
II YOU have votes enough. The pres
ent leaders may be the tailenders
when the great contest closes.
You can never tell" Bernard
shaw made this sentence famous.
And YOU never can tell. The Rich
mond Nirginian tour campaign can
vouch for the truth of the phrase.
Who will lead Sunday
g,se Nirg.naan never asks too sgtaess
iof you-very little, TN fact-yet there
are those among you who positively
refuse to recognize this as the chance
of a lifetime to ger what Is pracu-
caiIy something for nothing,
The NiFsiaiaf absolutely unable
TO understand, and 1t should like to
interest YOU in spite of yourself.
Look the list of contestants
frc,-, some of the districts where so
little has been done and where so
few have had the ambition to COM
pete for these prizes. 1t seems ike
shame 10 give away such vniuao'c
prfzes where SO little has been done
in consideration for them. However,
The Virginian will do it,.
Figure out for yourself what sub
scrtptions would put the very lowest
contestant at the top of the entire

{. ". THOMAS MAY
SUCCEED HIMSELF
POLICE COMMISSIONER FROM
CLAY WARD NAMED BY THE
LOCAL DELEGATION.

Some time after the first OF July,
and before the fifteenth, there will
be meeting of the city council in
joint session to elect certain city Off
Gals.
Among them will be police COM
missioner from Clay ward to succeed
Commissioner Emmett w. Thomas
AND three members of the school
beard.
Ir the case Of Mr. Thomas 1t Is
likely that he " i'll he -FeReHiinated to
succeed himself This was brought
TO head yesterday afternoon, when
a meeting of the Clay ward delega-
ton met in the office of Councilman
Richardson With one exception The
whole delegation was present. The
exception was Councilman John T.
Powers.
After talking the matter over for a
few minutes n motion was made TO
renominate Mr.. Thomas. This mo-
ton, made by Councilman rmlauf
was carried unanimously. No one
else was placed in nomination SO that
IL is quite probable that when the
ward delegation names it's nominee
council will elect.
This action comes within the sense
OF the rediStricting OF the city, and
within the new ward plan IT Ia the
idea Of those who voted for the new
plan to gradually eliminate members
Of the boards which represent the
various wards under the Old plan.
Under this plan, members repre-
sentinE the various WARDS. as their
terms expire. drop out, ana when
there are four members Of the boa I'd
remaining, the field is open for new
candidates
Mr.. Thomas representing ward
thai did not go out Of existence under
the rearrangemsnt, is eligible for re-
election. Aud 1t seems that he will
be reelected.
The sa ann. condition prevails in tne
school board Three members come
up for election this time.

Contract Closed this Afternoon for Death-defving Exhi-
bition to be Put on in Grand Forks Every
Day of the Fair.
G.. A. Kolb, commonly known

G. A. Kolb. commonly known
throughout the parachute jumping
profession as Balloon Red will
make a daily jump in a parachute
from a fast moving aeroplane at the
Grand Forks fair mex week.
Late this afternoon the contract for
the spectacular feat was signed with
the kenworthy Aeroplane Exhibition
company of Grand Forks. of which
F. G. kenworthy is president. and DR..
Bell of st. Louis. Thomas Mccoy of
Grand Forks. and Fred HARM of
New York, are members.
The parachute jump from the aero
plane is one of the most difficult and
dangerous ever attempted by man.
The %aeroplane recently brought to
North Dakota by Kenworthy and
Bell is the biggest in the world,
measuring 46 feet from tip to tip. 1t
is built especially for the parachute
jump, the silk bag. having a spread
of 80 feet, being encased in a big
funnel shaped device. The machine
carries the two men up and Kolb,
when they have reached the 1000
foot height, climbs back on a beam,
swings into midair. dangling on a
trapeze an dwaits. When everything
is properly balanced DIR. Bell cuts the
rubber bands which suspend the par
achute and it drops earthward. gen
