Mr.. Tyer, foreman of the construc

This is Monday, Dec. 16.

This is Monday, Dec. 16.
The campaign department is jubi-
liant over the splendid work done last
week. Some of those who seemed
hopelessly out of the race made one
grand effort, and made the positions
of those feeling confident uncertain.
This only goes to prove that the
prizes have not been won or lost until
the race is over. The candidates who
made good last week are working with
the determination that bespeaks vic
tory. They have made up their minds
not to disappoint their friends who
nominated them and have supported
them so Loyalty. The work done dur
ing this week will have a telling ef-
feet on the standings of the candidates

Beginning Of the End.
Five more days and all is over. To.
day is the beginning of the last week

realization that the work they have

able to let go by unrewarded. They
realize that the prizes which will be
gained for the past efforts depend
upon the work done during this week
Every candidate entered has made
hundreds of new friends during thei
canvass for votes, and these friends
are expecting to have their favoritC
win. This week will tell. 1t is no

Overconfldence.
Overconfidence has been the cause
of many great battle being lost. 1t
has been the medium and turning
point of success in many a hard fight,
into failure and disaster. 1t is the
great obstacle to be overcome in this
race for votes. 1t matters not how
hard you have worked in the beginning

is obtained during the final drive, and

counts.

the shouting. You may be one of the
shouters or it may be some of your
competitors that will do the rejoicing.
You can decide this week which one
you will be. Don't overlook an oppor-
tunity to secure even one vote. 1t is
possible that there will be just few
votes separating the winners of the
capital prizes from those winning the
district prizes. Just one subscription
may mean the difference between the
