ALI ID CAMPAIGN DRAWING TO
 CLOSE

Now that the campaign for the Ford and other prizes is in the hands of the judges, the Daily Times has not lost interest. At the close of the double vote offer there were several of the candidates so close in the number of votes that we wonder how they ac- complished so much in so short time
 The total of subscriptions were very similar, consequently the ladies have lined up for the finish with only a small advantage to one of them who Is the leader. They are so near the end of the hard race we can only hope for the success of all and regret that We can not give each a car. as the can didates have worked very faithfully
 We are glad for them that it Is coming to an end. Yet there are two golden days that can be taken advantage of, and we want to impress the friends of the different contestants that the race is not over until the finish on Wednesday evening, and that they should see that their favo-ite gets every subscription that is obtsinable.

The charge of embez- clement was made before the commits sioner at Eagle by Riddeford and Pais- ley, and the defendant waived the right of securing counsel and refused to give any statement in court.
 Friends of Thompson say they are sure there must be some mistake, as it seems almost an impossibility in a town the size of Eagle for a man to collect postoffice funds to the amount of s6,0O0.
