Be Sure That You Understand Everything There
Any Point That You Don't Fully Understand, Ask

can be YOU just as well as anyone
else. 53
First, j am going to tell you what
NOT to do, ii you want to get that
car. Donx become discouraged, and
don't become too confident of win
ming. I have seen many contests,
where some candidates could have
won out very easily, but she Stacked
up during the last few days, in some
cases, because she thought she had
the car won and in others because
She thought she couldn't win the car.
Don't think either one, but do your
level best from now until the close.
Don't think you cannot win the car,
because you can. Don't think you
already have the car won, because
you haven't.
The winner OF that car will no
doubt be the busiest person during
the next ten days of any person in
CodingtOn county. She will be after
the votes all the time, and will try
especially hard for the long term
subscriptions.
1t is easy to see that all leverage
lies in them. Just think of their pos
sibilities- Four of them mean over
100000 votes, besides the extra votes
that you can get, if you turn them in
before Thursday. You can readily
see that number of these will turn
the tables, and can put some candi-

he done for 1t can. DO IT.
Now is the time for your friends to

according to the work that you do.
For every club Of three ten year sub

1 votes. For every club Of subscrip-
tions amounting to $3.50, turned in
between the above dates, and not in
efuded in offer No. 1 or offer No. 2, we
will give 10000 extra votes.
OF course, the first two offers are
the ones that you want to take adj
vantage of. Get every one that you
can. 1t is impossible to get too many
votes while this offer sin force, for

that he would do nothing to attempt
to influence the commission. He has
recognized. it is said by intimate
friends. that the rejuvenation OF the
countrys prosperity was largely bound
up in a favorable decision from the
commission, regardless of the facts, and
almost wholly because the business
world and the country generally had
reached the state of mind that meant
depression if the commission showed
itself inimical to the contentious that
the railroads had been harassed
enough.
Republican and democratic politicians
everywhere recognize this state of the
public mind. it is said. and concede that
something must be done to palliate the
situation and restore confidence. Dis
tineuished republican leaders unhesi-
tatingly say thai if the business world
can have its confidence toned up there
will be little upon which to fight the
democrats this fall and two years from
now but without this tone it will be per
fectly easy to go to the country on the
claim that the tariff Is responsible for
the hard times.
Workingmen Urge Increase
1t was stated today on good au-
thority that several hundred letters
have gone to the interstate commerce
commission from railroad workingmen
favoring an increase in rates and. IN
some instances, declaring that the de-
Law in reaching a decision is response
BILE for thousands of railroad men be-
ing out of work. Commissioner Clark.
formerly the head Of the brotherhood
Of Railroad Conductors. is said to nave
received a number Of these letters,
written by former friends and asso-
ciates who asserted that they knew
the railroad situation and thought
sonnet hing ought to be done. Mr.. Clark
is one of the commissioners whose
long railroad experience has caused
him to be credited with favoring aid to
the roads at this time. For this rea-
Toilette is seeking to attack Mr.. Clark.
Reports were current today that Sen
ator La Follette's ultimate aim is 10 ask
for a congressional investigation of the
alleged methods used to influence the
commission in the hope that il will bring
out facts prejudicial to President Wilson
and to members of the commission who
have given ear to communications mailed
to them. 1t was stated among democrats
who have been watching the tactics of
Mr.. La Toilette that if he attempts such
an investigation the resolution will be
broadened to include an investigation of
Mr.. La Follette's own motives and of the
sources Of his information as to the COM
munications being received by the COM
mission. Mr.. La Follette's speech, 1t was
today pointed out, is calculated to develop
sentiment in the country hostile to the
increased railroad rates, and that there
will be no objection on his part If that
hostile sentiment can reach the commits
sion through one form or another.

Announced by Mr.. Bryan.

Secretary Bryan made the announce
rnent for the three diplomats in a brief
statement. which read as follows:
The mediators have notified the dif-
ferent parties that Niagara Falls. Canada
has been selected AZ the place where the
niediators will confer with representatives
of the different parties interested in the
mediation and that the 18th of May has
been fixed as the date when the confer
ence will begin.
The language of this announcement
Was interpreted by some observers as
indicating that the ENJOYS had not aban-
doned hope OF attempting 10 compose the
entire Mexican problem, despite Car
ranzas assertion that any attempt TO
take up the republics internal troubles
was beyond the range of diplomatic ac-
tiyity. The phrase that attracted atten-
tior was that the envoys would confer
with missions of the different parties
interested In mediation" Specific parties
were not named, and later il was author
itatiyely learned that further comnunica-
tion had been taken up with CaIranza.
Under present conditions their initial
