THE EXTRA TRIP PLAN.

anyone outside Of The PRocREss' ter

to this trip, a special arrangement
has been made with the Scimitar,
whereby 1t is possible for our rep
resentative to win an extra trip for
a lady companion. Here is the
plan: The Scimitar Is conducting
similar joint campaigns with other
weekly newspapers in different
counties. and If at the close Of the
campaign our successful candidate
has more votes than the successful
candidates on other papers, she will
be allowed to choose a lady COM
panion to make the trip with her

dates and voters have a chance to
