The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1915-12-18

~ Newer before In the history OF this.
State has q campaign such as this one
-excfted such intense interest. II has
been the chief topic OF conversation.
and needless 20 say. those candidates
who succeed should deserve every
honor.
+ The public IN the field covered by
THE rntelligencer have eagerly scanned
The voting lists as they appeared each
day, and the friends OF the candidates
have been more interested than the
others In the progress OF their fav-
-orites in the race, and to those friends
who have helped them to get subscrfp-
lions the candidates owe much; In
fact. they owe II TO their friends whose
| support has enabled them to get votes,
ITO win first prize in the race.
After IL o'clock tonight II will be
| TOO late to secure more votes. No one
can feel sure OF winning. Over-con-
fidence may prove your undoing.
J. A more serious mistake will be made
by those candidates who think that
they have no chance to win. Discour-
agement at the eleventh hour in a cam
paign such as this will be very harm
ful TO them. They should brace up.
buckle on new armor and determine 10
win out. Supreme confidence in your
.
Discouragement keeps you further and
. further down and will always hold you
down il you let IT get a grasp on you.
II is better to win by a large major
-ity than to lose by a small margin,
. and the positions gained by the various
| candidates indicate that there will be
many close finishes. Some of the can
didates are working at a clip that
should give them a final score that will
| put to shame the winning records Of
many of the wellknown speed kings.
Today is the last day of days
This is the last call for the final
roundup of all kinds of subscriptions
IAlthough no doubt there will be many
of the three and six months subscrip-
tons. the candidates should go after
|the one and two years new subscrip-
lions for they count for more votes.
When you stop 10 think OF II. today.

great deal II means victory for some

of the automobiles and one OF the
