stretch of the great race for $4,350

ly few short days left between this

the close standing Of the various
members of the 10000 Club makes
the interest intense among the work
ers and their friends. Claims and
counter-claims among the leaders
puts the result everywhere in doubt,

gether make it possible for the very
lowest one on the list to carry off
the grand prize by putting forth lit
tie extra energy this week.

vides splendid opportunity for each
and every member to secure thous-
ands of extra votes for his or her
subscriptions which they turn In this
week. A fifty per cent increase over
the regular scale will be allowed for
each an devery subscription which

one-half times the number Of votes
you would ordinarily receive for your
work. The number Of votes you VIII

structive, though it may not have been
so interesting"

as been reported from Washington. He re-
piled that he did not intend TO confer
with anybody. either on transit or on Phil
adelphia politics He also stated that he
would not go 10 his office before taking
the train for New York
