AS each day goes by the rivalry for
the leading positions in the big auto
contest becomes keener. 1t is very sell
dom in a. contest of this kind that the
fight for leading positions begins so
early.
The vote standing of a number OF
the candidates underwent material
change in the list this week. For sew
eral days there has been constant
stream of contestants and their friends
in the office of the contest manager,
either with vote coupons or subscrip-
lions, or after information about the
contest. Subscriptions come a great
deal easier to the Plain Dealer now,
for the contest has created such wide
comment that the people, not only on
account of the contest, but on the pa
per's own merits wish to subscribe.
Subscriptions should be brought to
the contest manager with the money
and the vote coupons may be held
and published later. These subscrip-
ton votes are good for their face val
ue any time during the contest.
Many candidates who have not here
tofore figured extensively in the race,
will be found among the leaders in
the list published this week. One of
these candidates said yesterday that
she had not paid much attention to
the contest until few days ago. She
noticed that she had been nominated |
and one or two Of her friends called
her up at the start of the contest and
told her they We're going to vote for
her. The rest of her friends soon no.
ticed that her vote total was going
higher, and they all began giving her
their support until she said she SIM
ply had to go to work and doNher, best
in order to show her friends thatshe
appreciated their help and support.
Now this lady is so enthusiastic about
the contest she is going to put up the
fight of her life for the Ford touring
car.
