This plan was decided on In preference
to the plan of having the actual fuli

had would give "the speculator" a
chance to know their real standing

greater vote value during the first
period than at any other time during
the campaign. but by starting early
and securing the promises of friends,
candidates will receive subscriptions
which would otherwise be taken by
their competitors. This naturally
makes the subscriptions you get in
ahead OF your competitor count two
fold.
Bear In mind there will be no
bonuses allowed during the last period
that the first period Is the one in
which the largest allowance OF votes
will be made during the campaign: and
that II is possible for candidates to
secure enough subscriptions during
the first period to win an automobile
with no extra effort during the sue
ceedings periods.
ANY points not clear to candidates
will be cheerfully interpreted by repre-
sentatives of the $4,000 campaign de-
partment.
Any person contemplating entering
the race should not fail to fill In the
Nomination blank appearing in the big
advertisement and get the necessary
early start, which means success. Re-
member the old adaee. Those In the
habit OF squeezing the last drop OF

The Finance Committee last night
recommended an appropriation OF ST.
600 for the vice commissions work,
instead of the $4,000 asked by the

rejected by the Board OF Aldermen,
