d. I. MANSkER TAKES
LEAD IN AUTO CONTEST

To ride or not to to ride, that
is the question. Whether tits
wiser of the man to sit on the
fence and take the other fellows
dust or by hustling, get the
votes that win the Mcintyre.
That is the meat in the con.
test cocoanut today. You have
but few weeks to do the work
which means that your dream
of the last . months will be
realized. You have but a few
weeks to make the final effort
in one of the greatest contests
ever carried on in this part OF
the country.
1t seems foolish to urge ac-
tivity now but that is what the
contest department would do.
A world of work can be done in
the next few months. The sort
OF work that will protect that
which is gone before; the kind
of work that makes everything
count. There's still a magnifi-
cent opportunity to bring every
faculty into play. You would
not care to think that all your
previous efforts had gone for
nothing il a little extra effort
during the next few months
would make you winner.
Therefore, the Argus takes
this opportunity to urge that
not only the candidate but their
friends use ey cry effort to solve
the riddle OF the ownership Of
the Mcintyre.
Take advantage Of the big
crowds at the Fair and see that
they vote for you.
