Can be Had for the Asking.

While a large number of subscrip-
tions have been secured by the candi-
dates and their friends, it must be re-
membered that the city and the sur.
rounding territory are large and full
of possibilities, more than sufficient
for the efforts of all the candidates
and their legions of friends.
All the candidates have opportuni-
ties in the way of subscriptions which
can be secured. All have hosts of
friends who would be more than glad
to help them with their subscriptions,
and it only remains for the candidates
to call for these subscriptions and get
the votes.
Eternal Viligance the Tours Price.
Those candidates who put forth such
telling efforts and gained such splen-
did advantages during the first periods
should now be especially careful and
guard against over-confidence. Sue
cess at the finish, now, more than ev-
er, depends upon energetic efforts and
organization of friends for the remain
ing twelve days.
Get new subscriptions as they count
four times as much as old ones under
the last period schedule. Take the re-
newals Of old subscribers if they are

 ABLE CITIZEN.

Washington, Dec. 27-Cipriano Castro, ex-president of Venezuela, said to be on board the La Touraine. due at New York from Hayse, Sun day, will be detained at the Ellis ls- land immigrant station until Secre- tary Nagel of the department of com merce and labor has personally pass ed upon his admissibility to the Unit. ed States.
 Mr Nagel today instructed Com missioner of immigration Williams at New York, to subject Castro to- a rigid inspection under the immigra- tion laws to determine his right to enter and te forward the result to Washington even though the examin- ation failed to show grounds for de porting the Venezuelan. This mus ual course is due to the fact that the state department has requested Sec retary Nagel to strictly apply the i'm migration laws to the ex-president. That department is searching for elCdenee which would bar Castro A special effort is being made to learn whether he was ever convicted of any crime involving moral turpi tude because that will supply grounds for his deportation.
 The state department today re ceived a report from Venezuela con cerning the status of the deposed president. This was given to Secre tary Nagel but its nature was no made public.

the work should be planned, SO that it will be done at the psychological
