vember S. returns from the canvass for
raising campaign funds, and various sug-
gestions relative to the local campaign
work occupied the attention of the mem

tee at its meeting In Lewis Hall last
night J. Fred. Kelley presided and Will
liam NICK Clayton was secretary. Eight
cen Of the twenty-five members Of the
committee were present. and fifteen MEM
bers Of the advisory committees.
The report on transportation was lis
tened to with interest as setting forth
the decision the railroads had arrived at
concerning the fare to be required Of
voters going home to cast their ballots
In general. the fare for a round trip will
be at the rate Of one and one-half the
regular fare. Tickets will be sold from
October to November S upon identifica-
ton certificates issued by the proper au-
thority. These tickets can be obtained by
voters and dependent members of their
households. A circular has been issued
by the railroad trunk lines and can be
obtained by application to the headouar-
ters Of the several committees. This cir
cular gives the names Of the heads Of de-
partments who must sign the identifica-
ton certificates which, presented at the
ticket Offices, will enable the purchaser to
obtain the reduced fare.
Reports upon the 81 subscriptions for
campaign funds were submitted, show
ing that much progress had been made
in raising money by this means
several Of the twenty-five districts COW
cred by the committee reported that the
advisory committee have been COM
pleted. Each member Of the committee
has authority to name five members on
these advisory committees, and fifteen of
those already appointed participated in
the discussions.

The six other contestants told Of SIM
liar experiences The only difference was
that they are employed in different Sec
tions of the city. and. consequently. are
compelled to patroni1e different lunch
rooms. Some lunch at Terry & Stew
arts. 76 H street northeast: some at
the Rex Oyster House. 2los Fourteenth
street northwest. and others dine at
Sans lunch room.' Thirty-sixth street
and Prospect avenue.
These cases plainly show what the con-
test Is doing. The aim Is being realized.
The competition IL introducing reliable
establishments to the purchasing pub
lie. and Is. at the same time. building
up the trade Of the city. Many stories
somewhat similar to these have been
told The Advocate by contestants, and
will be published from time to time
Some Of them are rather humorous. but,
still. they emphasize the point that the
contest h bringing results.
Every reader Of The Washington Her
aid residing or working in the District
should enter the competition. 1t 10 the
greatest opportunity ever offered to the
people Of Washington. Other contests
have been held in the city, but none ever
equaled this one. Other contests have
been conducted by The Herald. but none
ever surpassed this one. Other con-
tests are at present being conducted in
the National Capital. but the awards are
almost insignificant in comparison with
those to be given away by The Her
aid. A total Of $4,000 is being spent
on the articles. There will be a total
OF $50 awards. A complete list Of the
articles soon will be announced. Among
the leading awards will be q 5000 house
and lot. four N,2SO touring cars. four
$50 Baby Grand pianos, four s625 player
