1t Is Easy.
AS an instarce of the ease with
which 1t is possible for a candidate 70
reach the top OF the vote list now. the
experience Of a young woman In a
nearby town will serve to illustrate.
She had been debating the question
OF getting busy ever since she was
first advised that she had been nomi-
mated. She knew she wanted an au-
tomobile but she was not quite sure

to reach the top.
