The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1912-1984, 1915-06-22

Al the present time IL would be diff
fcult to make even AN intelligent
guess at 10 the probab,e wianerH OF
the big prizes in the Interior Jour
nails Big Travel Tour and Prize Con-
test. The race is such an open one
that any one of the nominees in either
district may be the winner of the Cap
ital Prize at the close. Many dit
ferent changes may be noted in the
list between nov and July l7th-the
close OF the contest Some Of those
who are now at the top of the list
NAY be at the bottom at the close and
some of those who are at the bottom
may be among the winners Mt the
close. II is not at all unlikely that
some new candidate entering in the
next couple of weeks may pull down
one of the best prizes. In recent
contest in another state. a contestant
entered eight days before the cam
paign closed and won the biggest
prize offered. So IL - impossible to
predict TO whom victory will fall In
this contest.

II she had stopped working even one
