Starting last Saturday evening the
coupon printed each day will count
but five votes. Each CONTESTANT can
tur in one hundred of these five-vote
coupons each day. which win be a
total of 500 votes a day.
The contestants were active in SEE
curing the ten-vote coupons as they
were the ones good for double the
number of votes.
Last Saturday the coupon counting
was started at o'clock and was kept
up until s. There were nearly fifty
contestants who participated in the
balloting on Saturday and all districts
were well represented.
New Nominations.
New nominations continue to come
in daily and will continue for some
time 1t is never too late to enter the
contest as six yearly subscriptions
would put any candidate up in good
position in the list.
You do not have to be subscriber
to- vote in the contest. In making
this offer the Daily Telegram decided
to make it as liberal and as broad as
possible. One may call upon his
friends and ask them for coupons and
vote for the contestant of his choice,
and not even purchase a copy Of the
Daily Telegram. There is, however,
decided advantage in paying a sub
scription. as you obtain special bal
lot good for from 1900 to 22,4OO votes
for your candidate.
Several people did this Saturday.
If the candidates had the slightest
idea of how great the interest in this
contest is and how eager and anxious
the public is to know the full particu-
lars and how busy the entire stan of
this newspaper has been kept during
the last few days answering questions
in person, by mail and telephone,
they would be more surprised than
they ever were before. There will be
fourteen citizens who will be the
proud owners of either Paige or a
Ford car, tour of Europe free of ex-
pense, or one Of the beautiful pianos,
or other valuable prizes.
Effort VIII Win.
Consider the elation one contestant
will feel who, on the closing date of
the contest, May &c, is declared the
winner of the Paige automobile and is
awarded this machine as his very own
without one penny of expense. Con-
slider also that this happy contestant
can be no other than yourself, II you
will only put forth the proper effort.
If you are not the winner of this auto
mobile, it will be because you have
denied yourself the possibilities you
possess, and built up an imaginary
barrier which has prevented you from
obtaining one of the most desirable
possessions. The winner of the Ford
Will feel fortunate at having won it,
but most of the contestants eyes are
centered on the Paige. Well. the next
few weeks work will tell, and who
knows but what the contestant who
works the hardest and gets in the
most new subscriptions this period
will make himself safe by getting in
his subscriptions this period.
The diamond ring period will come
to close in five more days, at 8
o'clock next Saturday evening. These
five days will be the most valuable
in the entire contest, as the number of
votes issued on all subscriptions will
be larger than at any time during the
c ntest. New subscriptions turned in
during this time will not only count
toward the automobiles and other
grand prizes, but will also count to-
ward the diamond ring. The. auto-
mobiles and the diamond ring can be
won or lost during the five remaining
days of the first period. Which will
1t be?
