Nominate IS Candidates
In Big All-Prize Contest

The readers of The Washington
Herald, and the public In leneral, are
starting The Heralds All-Prize Home
Subscription Campaign right. More
than seventy-five candidates nominat-
ed up to yesterday noon are listed
in this issue with 1000 votes each.
Many are really entitled to more than
1000 votes, but it was thought best
to start everyone off even the first
day with Just 1000 votes and then to-
morrow make the changes according
to the subscriptions sent in.
Doubtless more candidates will be
listed tomorrow and surely many other
candidates will enter in the next few
weeks.
The majority of those listed here
today have been nominated by a friend
and II is only to be expected that
a few will drop out, on account of be
ing away from home, or for other
reasons. Therefore. more nominations
are desired.
Plan of Campaign
The plan of the campaign is very
simple. The prizes. aggregating over
$4,000 in value. including four auto
mobiles. will be given to candidates
entitled to the largest number of votes.
There are only two ways of obtain
ing the votes and that is by turning
in paid-in-advance subscriptions and
clipping the free votes found in each
issue of The Herald. OF course, 1t
is not necessary that the candidate
obtain all of the subscriptions, as one's 8
friends will do considerable campaign
work, but 1t does not matter just
as long as the subscriptions are turn
ed in to the credit of a candidate.
Receipts will be furnished friends OF
candidates and candidates themselves,
so that the subscribers will have men,
oranda of the subscriptions given.
Anyone may enter.
Any man or women with some spare
time will find It profitable to enrcH as
candidate and 1t will not require
very much spare time at there,
Doubtless the most that could pos
sibly be spent In this campaign is one
hour a day, and the, winner may moi
spend even that much time. It Is
simply a matter Of seeing your friends
and some are so placed that they
will be able to see all of their friends
by October 20, the closing date OF
the campaign, without any spare time
at all.
Not Limited.
The candidates are not limited tc
any particular section to obtain sub.
scriptions, that is, Washington can
didate could obtain votes by getting
a subscription from some friend out
side of Washington and a candidate
for instance, in Fairfax. Va. would be
given votes for a subscription Sc.

part of the United States. for thai
matter.

EVIDENCE SHOULD
JUSTIFY ACTION
Charges of Furnishing Liquor
to Soldiers Must Be Re-
ferred to Mr.. Laskey.

Each particular charge OF furnishing
liquor to soldiers In uniform will be re-
ferred by the police to United States
Attorney Laskey at his request. If the
facts Justify a prosecution, says Mr..
Laskey, warrants will issue, but when
the evidence does not show that the
law has been violated there will be no
prosecution.
Mr.. Laskey denied that there exists
any friction between his Office and any
other department Of the government
and declared that he is in harmony
with the War and Navy departments
from soldiers. sailors and marines. He
did not refuse to issue warrants in the
two cases presented. he declared. but
had his assistant, Ralph Given. refer
the matter to him for consideration.

stated he will take it into court and

Police Of the first precinct today made
1t plain that the release of the three
ing liquor for soldiers was sufficient to
inform them that no further arrests
should be made on such statement of
facts. It was said at the police station
today that no further arrests will be
made unless 1t is shown that the per-
sons under suspicion actually sold and
not merely gave liquor to uniformed
soldiers.
Two men 1ho were arrested Satur-
day night we're released by order of the

far as could be learned this afternoon.
Policemen called attention to the
fact that there is a law on the statute
books which provides punishment for
drinking on the streets or in public
places. They thought 1t well to advise
nonresident soldiers that they may be
arrested if they violate that law.
