IS EXTREME IN LIBERALITY
Hundred Thousand Votes at
One Sweep Will Never Be
Duplicated.
new CANDIDATES COMING IN
Handsome Rings and Beautiful
Wrist Watches Given in
Addition to Autos.

The prospect OF literally revelling in
bo,es fro mnow until December %, is
creating wonderful activity among the
candidates in The Tulsa Daily World
great automobile and prize campaign.
Ever since the big 100000 extra vote
offer was announced there has been q
rush TO commence building SO new
subscription clubs.
The offer is simply this Every $50
club Of new subscriptions cans 100000
votes In addition to all regular votes.
One direct result of the offer was
that 1t brought forth quite a number
of new candidates who could resist no
further the unexampled oportunity
Of sharing in the distribution of more
than $4,000 in prizes.
And what magnificent opportunity
It is!
The chance to win one of the six
beautiful motor cars was In Itself al
Turing. But now that the way is open
to aniass thousands OF votes in furth-
erance of that object, the prospects are
doubly bright.
One young woman in Tulsa said yes
terday: Honest, l couldn't hold back
any longeri For some ineXplicable rea-
son I held back at first, but now that
can get so many votes I'll be sure to
get right up to the top"
An important feature OF the special
offer now in effect is that 1t is the
largest offer that will be made. Can
didates who expect that something
bigger" will be forthcoming later. are
going to be disappointed.
Never Be Duplicated.
The liberal offer will nos be duplI-
Gated; none In the future will even be
Is liberal. SO 1t behooves all ambi-
tious candidates, who have their heart
set on one of the six automobiles to be
given free, to do their very best from
now until December 22-the closing
date OF the offer.
It's something hard for most candi-
dates TO decide just which of the six
prize automobiles they like best Some
like the s2.100 7-passenger Haynes
better than all others and they are de-
tcrmined to be It's owner before long.
Still others prefer the Chandler Six Z
passenger s1.675, or the s1.511 Nash
The Hupmoble 5-passenger. n dis
tinctive looking car, valued Mt 1,352,
has many friends, and so have the
$500 Overland Country Club and the
$S12.43 Maxwell. Taking Il all in all,
they are highly desirable lot--worth
many. many times the effort that will
be required to win them. All are fitted
up to the umpty-umpth degree Of re-
finement.
And the beautiful diamond rings!
Almost anyone loves diamond ring,
and any candidate will be happy to
have her efforts rewarded with one of
these magnificent Jewels. 1t is the op-
portunity of a lifetime to become the
proud possessor OF one of these spark
ling stones. by a little diligent and
well-directed effort.
Handsome Wrist Watches.
Just now. too, there is a special wish
on the part Of many for one Of the
lovely s35 gold wrist watches Of which
there are to be six given as prizes in
this contest. They are so popular at
present, with their slightly military
suggestion, that many of our candi-
