The battle has been fairly fought
by the young ladies nominated, and the
best campaigners are going to win. 1t
is a pleasure for the management Of
the Post to reward them for their eff
forts with one of the valuable prizes.
Only ONE day more remains. Re
member for every thousand votes you
deposit, your nearest rival may have
two thousand. Get your votes in early,
and then get more. You have hun.
dreds of friends who are watching
you, and perhaps have worked for you,
and want to see you win. 1t is up to
you to do your level best for victory
to vindicate their support.
The fighter who makes the bes- stand
at the last ditch is the one victory
loves to honor. The ballot you may
unexpectedly pick up this last day
may give You the leadership in the final
count. This last day is the time for
the effort that counts.
At O'Clock Tuesday evening the
votes of the different contestants were
counted for the last time until the final
count which takes place after the con
test closes at 10 o'clock tonight. This
is done so no one will have any idea
how much reserve the different candl-
dates have and also because the con
test department must devote all its
time to waiting on the candidates anI
others desiring to secure votes.
Get in Your Votes
The contest department will make
every possible provision to take care Of
the people who bring in their votes
personally this evening 1t will pro-
vide a sufficient clerical force and it
will see that no time is waster, an 1
every person who gets votes in on time
has those votes counted. But it cannot
put the clock back, and it is utterly
helpless so far as accepting votes that
are overdue.
The office will be closed and locked
at 10 o. clock sharp, but all that are in
the Office will be waited on, but no
more will be admitted. Votes that ara
mailed minute too late will be of no
avail.
If the contestants win keep this in
mind the Post does not care if the
votes do not come in until the last
thing. But if the contest editor was

For many years Western Colorado has
been given far less attention by the
political parties than she has deserved,
but this year change is proposed and
that great and rich domain known as
the Western Slope will assert her
rights and solicit the recognition she
deserves at the hands of the politicians
and voters of the state.
Only 0lce IN the history of the
state has Western Colorado been
favored with governor and neither
of the two leading parties is willing tc
have that event charged to its ac
count.
Since the days of "Bloody Brides -
Waite the Western Slope has been
given but scant recognition by either
party, and republican governor has
never been chosen from this section
But this year this great section Of
limitless resources is coming into its
own and will place before the repub-
lican voters of Colorado candidate
for governor who is worthy of more
than passing notice.
The candidate whom the republicans
of Western Colorado will especially
urge for nomination for governor is
Mr.. G. C. Parks of Glenwood Springs
who is well known throughout the
state and who ranks very high in
business and political circles.
Mr.. Parks came from his native
state, Illinois, to Colorado in 1879, and
in 1887 settled in Glenwood Springs
and took employment in the First
The Glenwood post., 1912-02-10

National bank, an institution in which
he has for many years been director
and cashier, and in this position he
has well proved his business ability
and integrity. He was elected state
auditor in 1894 and served his state
in that position in 1895 and 1896.
Not only is Mr.. Parks popular
among the merchants, farmers AMI
stockmen of his own and surrounding
counties, but he is favorite among
the bankers and business men through
out the state, having been unanimously
elected as president of the Colorado
filing that position in 1909 and 1910.
As member of the state central
committee from this county for many
years Mr.. Parks has held an important
place in the councils of his party and
his advice has always been highly
valued by the party leaders.
Believing in the future greatness Of
Colorado, Mr.. Parks has invested liber-
ally in those projects which tend to .he
development and progress of the sec
tion in which he lives, being interested
in coal mining and several irrigation
and farming enterprises.
This is the man the Western Slope
offers as its candidate for governor
a broad, keen, liberal and successful
business man with an eye to the
needs and demands of every portion of
the state. c. C. Parks, if nominated
and elected will make 4 governor #
whom the people of the state of Colo
rado may justly feel proud.

COMPANY RE-oRaANIzED

The Glenwood Hot Springs company
was recently re-organized and the
name changed to the Glenwood Hot
Springs and Hotel company. The new
company, in addition to conducting
all of the Glenwood mineral baths as
heretofore, has taken over the Hotel
Colorado and the general management
of this popular tostelry will be under
the direction of the new company.
Manager Lucas will continue in direct
charge of the mouse as heretofore.
Many important improvements are
planned by the r"w company, but
these will he announced more fully at
a later date.

Tonight, at ten o clock the polls VIII
close in the Posts great voting con
test, and the final count of ballots vii!
be made Immediately afterward. Al
that hour the doors OF the office will
be locked and no one will be admitted
to the office after that time. All those
who are in before that hour will be
waited on. One final supreme effort
on the one remaining day may land 4
prize for any of the 1alr contestants.
The friends who have responded with
support before can hardly refuse at
the last moment, when little help
means victory.
Candidates should get their subscrip-
tions to the office as soon as possible,
for the biggest weeks business of the
contest is sure to be recorded. Get the
subscriptions in early, as there will be
nothing gained by holding them back
until the very last hour, for absolute
secrecy will be maintained regarding
candidates.
There will be plenty of help to take
names of the winners of the grand
prizes will be published in the Post the
first issue following the close of the
contest. The happiest young ladies IN
the country will be the ones who will
read in the Post that they have won
prize. The vote of each candidate
will be published. Since the last count
was published there has been an ava
lanche of special ballots each day.
The uncertainty has stimulated every
candidate to increase her vote by
every possible ballot, for each realizes
that her rival is doing the very same
thing, Of course there will be sur
prises and disappointments when the
result is announced. Some contestants
may lose the most coveted prize by
just few votes, and some may win
by a very small margin. Each candi-
date should work this last day so that
if she is defeated she will have no re.
grets over her failure to take advant-
age of an opportunity to win.

precedented success from the very first
day. Everybody seems to be interest.

he would not take chance of getting
his vote in at that time.
There is nothing like having little
leeway. He would not wait until the
last moment before closing his list. He

MERCY SAKES!
LOOK WHO'S HERE

The Post is not conducting puzzle
department or guessing contest, but
if We were we should try to select
something little more difficult than
the following which appeared in We'd
nesday mornings issue of the Rocky
Mountain News:
And now the women members of the
democratic state central committee, as
they unpack their suit cases which did
duty at the Denver meeting, are tell
ing the home folks what perfect ladies
democratic women are, anyway.
SO different from the men, my
fear!"
Men are such brutes, you know.

Such perfectly elegant luncheon as 1T
w Am
ladies did really think they ought 20
be put out, not Il word was said to
them.
"And Mrs. Lee was just as polite!
But shouldn't you think they'd feel
ashamed of themselves, my dear?'' d.
1t seems that when Mrs. Gertrude
Lee, democratic state chairwoman, ar
ranged to give luncheon for the
committeewomen at the Albany, it was
suggested by some members that she
Invite Il few democratic women not be
longing to the committee. The names
of Mrs. NJ. C. Harrington, Ellis Mere
jdith and Helen Ring Robinson were
suggested, the first two because they
are ,former state chairwomen, and the
last-just because. But it was finally
decided to restrict the guests absolute
ly to members of the state central com
mittee.
Then dawned the auspicious hour
ss>1hey say in the magazines.
The committeewomen filed into the
dining room prepared for them.
Bullock! look! look! "What is the
meaning of that?' murmured Mrs. Lee.
"Did you ever?'' said Mrs. Davis.
"What right have they here?" inquir
ed Mrs. Ella Adams Ssh! Ssh!
Two Uninvited Guests
Two uninvitcd guests caused the ex-
citement.
One of them was the wife of state
senator from the western slope, who
nominated herself for delegate to the
democratic national convention. Did t
all alone by herself in the Denver r.
publican yesterday, without bit of
help from a single democratic com
mitteewoman.
The other was Denver woman who
has been a chronic officeseeker since
first equal suffrage was carried in
Colorado.
With the assurance won from much
candidating, the second woman ushered
the first to place at one of the tables.
"Dear me!' said Mrs. Lee.
''I'd put them out. The nerve Of
them' said a woman from the south
ern part of the state.
"Oh, let them stay,' said Mrs. Laf-
fertS. "They certainly do look hun
cry"
So they stayed And, according TO
report, had an excellent luncheon.

A FLASH IN THE PAN

About every fellow and his brother
and few of the sisters, from the
Antlers- Silt country came up to Glen
wood last Tuesday morning for the big
doin's, but they were terribly disap-
pointed. Cause whyl Well, cause
there weren't any big doin's, that S
why. You have all heard of the little
boy who was eating an apple and be-
ing asked for the core replied "There
aint goin' to be no cOre.'' Well, that S
the case exactly. There wasn't any
core-hence the disappointment.
Notice had been published of the in
tention of some of the freeholders of
that section to apply for an irrigation
district to be known as the Grass Val
ley Irrigation district and a petition TO
l5luosoId uooq oAgq OF sGM looUo lBq1
to the county commissioners last Tues
day at ten O'Clock
When the commissioners convened dt
the hour mentioned they found that the
farmers from the Antlers country hal
taken possession of their office and
ranchers were there, not to file such
petition, but to protest against any
action being taken by the county board
favorable to the organization of such
district.
Attorney C. w. Darrow addressed
the board in behalf of the protestants,
stating that his clients were there ex
pecting that petition and map of the
proposed district would be fled, but as
neither of these documents had been
filed with the board and as the com
pany was apparently not represented,
he asked that the board take definite
action disposing of the matter or fix a
be heard. Mr.. Darrow said he re
grctted that the petitioners were not
represented, as he thought the matter
ought to be discussed and definitely
disposed of at that time.
The commissioners learned, from a
source which they considered reliable,
that the company had abandoned their
former intention of presenting the pc
tition at this time and, inasmuch as no
documents had been filed and no def
mite application made to them, they de
clared the whole thing off
Some of the protestants expressed
themselves quite forcibly at being
obliged to come up here at considerabl"
expense and all to no purpose, but Mr..
Darrow settled this criticism bv say
ing that there was nothing to prevent
these people from giving the notice Ii
they wanted to do so, Just as there
was no way of preventing one person
from bringing suit against another and
under our system the party sued must
protect himself and make the best of
it, even though it might be hard
ship.
This ended the matter and the ranch
men retired, scarcely knowing whether
they were pleased or disappointed

What degree would Deroy Kreit-
ner soon obtain at college? Any of
the teachers could tell you that.
A. B.. Art of Bluffing.
Why did Margaret Purdy do so

was so familiar.
What maxim has been Agnes
Murrays refuge? Better late than
never"
How can you account for Grace
Wilder's strange fancy for dress
making? | suppose because she
wants to associate with the Taylor.
Why would Mortimer Stocker
rather walk along the board fence
in Seelyville than on Broadway, N.

ALPHABET,
BY Elizabeth Murtha. |

The class of 1912 after much
diligent work have successfully won
an honor which no other class in the
history of Honesdale High school has
won before. This honor Is given
them for their remarkable interpre-
tation of the alphabet which will be
found in the Mother Goose Rhyme
Book of the future. Although it
took many hours of mental exertion
to prepare this work they have fin
ally succeeded in placing before you
and your children one of the most
interesting as well as instructive al
phabets every written. The fol-
lowing is a sample of their good
work: A is for Anthony grave and
ascetic, who always can win in feats
athletic. A is for Agnes, demure
and sweet, as nice girl as you'd
wish to meet. B is Bessie as round
as a dime who seldom can get to
school on time. G Is Charlotte, the
heart-smashing one, a friend of the
undertaker's son. d is for Dirlam
most modest of boys, who seldom if
ever makes any noise. d Is for
Dunn, the pride of her class, who
always is busy with notes to pass. E
is for Eva in every class, she always
has dozens of questions to ask. F
is for Flora, don't make a mistake,
she looks quite asleep but she's
really awake. f is for Frances who
runs pail mall but always has funny
stories to tell. G is for Gertrude of
Angelic face, with other girls never
could race. H is Harriet, the gig
gler rare, who wears ''Marcella
Wave" upon her hair. K is Kathryn
so meek and so mild, always so
frightened when the teacher smiles.
l. is Louise who is not a guesser, but
can prove his title as German Pro
fessor." NJ is Mary, who is never at
loss If only she can be the boss. V is
Vincent the far-famed singer who
with the girls is not a good ringer" "
w is William or generally "Bill" who
always helps father the cattle to
| kill.

and an enmity was formed between
the two classes which | am sorry to
say existed until their departure.
Before concluding ! must not forget
to mention the triangular contest
which was held in Honesdale that
year between the three schools, Car
bondale, Dunmore and Honesdale.
For a week before the great affair
our mothers were kept busy baking
good things to feed the visitors,
still If we had known that they had
such enormous appetites (as we af-
terward found out) we would have
solicited the whole town, for they
ate and ate and ate. The rest of
the year passed uneventfully and in
June we bid a sorrowful goodbye to
the Senior class, still the thought
that the following year we would
be Juniors somewhat lessened our
grief, but here | must draw the cur
tain and allow my classmate to re-
late our experiences as Juniors.

RIDDLES.
IBy Agnes III, MCGraw.

During our High school course
many perplexing questions have
arisen which we have not been able
to answer. Having with us tonight
a mystic" of some renown, it is my
purpose to see if she can answer
some of these riddles.
Why does Hannah Harder like
to celebrate the seventeenth OF jan
uary? Don't you know that? Be-
cause she likes to honor "Benja-
min"
What part of Physics does Mary
Lenehan like to study best? That is
easy. That which deals with light
and Rays.
What flower reminds Clara Rief of
her future life? Why "Jack'-in-
the-Pulpit.
Can you see any comparison be-
tween Marie Wier and a music
book? Both are full of airs.
Why would Sing Sing be a good
place for Mary Rippel? Because
her musical abilities have become
too strong for Honesdale.
VIII you prescribe a proverb to
which Lulu RickaTd better take
heed (?) under the present pros
poets? Have you been waiting all
year 10 nave ludL dHSWtItu +.
Changed the name and not the let
ter, change for the worse and not
for better.
Why did Ray Sandercock enjoy
his wholesome chats during noon
hour? | suppose because he could
find none Wilder"
How can you account for Margaret
Moran's dislike for a sunshiny day?
1t must be because the sun is mas
culine gender and she cannot en-
dure his ardent glances.
How do the two Smiths remind
you of two geometrical figures? Any
one who has studied Geometry can
answer that. One reminds you OF
"a solid whose width is equal to its
length" and the other two parallel
lines whose perpendicular height Is
incommendurable."
What lessons has Philosophy
taught which Betty Murtha cannot
learn? That too much of a tongue
were worse than no tongue at ALL
