The roundup record. [volume] (Roundup, Mont.) 1908-1929, 1913-07-11

The list of numerous candidates who
have always been entered in the Grand
Free Automobile contest since the first
announcement last week does not
really tell anything about the race.
The contest is SO young yet and has so
long to run that the votes cast the
first week form merely a stepping
stone. Undoubtedly this is true but
it should not lead anyone desiring to
become candidate to linger; neither
should it encourage the candidates al
ready entered to put off work in earn
est. 1t should be remembered that
! constant dripping will wear away
stone and also that the steady, con-
sistent. and systematic worker will
have the best chance of winning. The
old maxim that "A rolling stone gath
ers no moss is reversed in contest.
for here it is the rolling stone that
gathers the most votes. candidate
who sits down and waits for her
friends to do it all is extremely liable
to gather moss but no votes.
The first standing of the contestants
will be published on August 8. No one
will know the standing until then.
Use the Coupons
A nominating ballot good for 1000
votes when used to nominate new
candidate appears herein. and also
coupon good for 100 votes for any
candidate already nominated. No
candidate NAV receive credit for more
than one of the 1000 nominating bal.
lots. The weekly coupons which will
appear in issues of The Record Tor
time only, will be numbered and must
be cast before the next count OF votes,
or they will not be credited. This fact
should be remembered by all candl
dates and their friends. This rule Is
made in order to prevent the accumu
lating and holding back of large mum
ber of votes from this source by any
one candidate. Act now! Do not hes
itate. The present is the best time tt
enter the race. Nothing can be gained
by delay except the possibility of de
feat.
Remember the Prize

, want none but the best cars. It Is

tion by the man who has driven onl!
