VOTES NOT EXCUSES WIN BIGGEST PRIZES
Candidates Who Hold Back Their Subscrip-
tlons Lose Votes-Four Days Left to
Secure, Near-double Votes

Regardless of the various excuses
and numerous imaginary tales of
some OF the candidates in the All
Prize Club. the real statesmen and
salesladies are spending their time
getting subscriptions instead of
listening to these excuses and tales
meant to discourage. These busy
workers are the ones whose names
viii appear on the automobile win
ming list when the campaign is over,
and 1t will be no mystery how they
got there.
The best vote getters are going
to win the best prizes and no doubt
but what they will be the ones who
took advantage of the best vote per-
iods as announced from time to time
during the campaign. The best re-
naming vote period ends next Mon
day night at 10 o'clock and is only
10 per cent Off the extra votes of
the previous periods.
II you have held your subscriptions
back before expecting more votes
during the last two weeks of the
campaign do not deceive yourself
again; get them in before 10 o'clock
next Monday night.
There will be no more extra prizes
and the vote schedule will be carried
out just as announced at the begin
ming of the campaign.
Only four more working days after
today in which to take advantage
of tho near-double vote period. Make
these four days your best days OF
the whole campaign.

Senator Stone, head of the foreign relations committee, however, by vir- tue of his position, the logical admin istration spokesman on such ques- tions. withdrew from the task as soon as the armed neutrality bill was brought in by his committee. He said candor would not permit him to take the floor for the measure, and sub mitted an amendment to exempt mu- nitions-carrying ships from the pro lection to be extended other mer- chantmen.
 To Senator Hitchcock and Senator Lodge. the ranking democratic and republican committeeman fell the leadership. Senator LaFollette, about whose attitude there had been some uneasiness, announced that he would talk at length on the bill. but had no intention of filibustering.
 As the debate proceeded into the night there were many predictions that 1t would be well toward morning pe- fore vote could be reached. The dramatic features of the situation were heightened by crowded galleries ana the attendance of several cabinet mem bers and many representatives on the floor as spectators. Among those In the diplomatic gallery early In the n;eht was Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador
 OTHER INSTRUMENTALITIES
 The bill, in addition to authorizing arming merchant ships. would extend the authority requested by the Presl- dent for use of other instrumental < ities" in protecting American rights. That feature was omitted from the House bill which also contained pro hibition objectionable to the Presi- dent against the insurance by the war risk bureau of vessels laden with munitions
 More than one senator declared pass age of the Senate bill would mean war sooner or later, but almost withSnt exception they added that they were ready to accept war on those terms. A few insisted that it would not mean war. None expressed any other belief than that it would be passed and thel
