Who is the most popular person
in eastern Colorado or western
Kansas? That at present is hard
to answer. But after April % we
can answer who are the most popu-
lar persons by the results in the
great prize campaign.
Candidates have been sort of lay
ing the ground work for an active
campaign and Judging from the ac-
tivity manifested during the past
few days. the vote totals will soon
begin to soar skyward.
The activity is not confined to the
Holly district by any means and
the reason for the activity in the
other districts is easy to explain.
The campaign territory is so DIVIDED
that every district is on an equal
basis and every district has it's own
district prize.
Now supposing you are regular
ly nominated candidate and you
want that new Ford automobile
and believe you have just as good
an opportunity to win as any,
which is true, and someone for sell
fish reasons talked you out of the
notion to be candidate, wouldn't
you at the close of the campaign,
when you realize how easily it was
won, feel rather sick at heart be
cause you dropped out. You are

almost in duty bound to try to win,
in view of the confidence your
friends have shown in you as win
ner, by nominating you and then
turning in votes for you.
The writer heard a remark, the
other day that shows how candi-
dates friends view the matter. Two
ladies were discussing the Chief
tain's Great Campaign and one
lady asked the other, Who are
you saving your votes for?" The lady
told her. Why replied the first
lady + understand that she is not
running The second fad sxitiIas1 j
disappointed look on her face re
piled We'll I'll declare! She never
told me, and here I'm doing every
thing I can to help her win that
automobile There you have the sit
uation. This good lady deserves
better treatment than that. 1t
does not cost you cent to be
candidate or to win. Every vote is
free, they cannot be purchased.
They can only be obtained with
merchandise or with subscriptions,
advertising or job printing.
Again we caution you, as can
didate, DON'T LET ANYONE
TALK YOU OUT OF TRYING
FOR ONE OF THE VALUABLE
PRIZES. If you do, you surely
Will regret it. Foresight is better
than hindsight. so look forward
with determination to the goal of
your ambition, to win the new
Ford automobile. Let your friends
know you are in the race to win
and soon you will be astonished at
the way votes will roll in to your
credit
10 each candidate, who turns in
subscriptions for the sum of SIS, we
will issue in addition to the regular
votes, Bonus Ballot for 100000
votes, but these subscriptions must
be turned in on or before March
18th at o'clock p. m. Candidates
in the outside districts may mail in
their subscriptions if they show
evidence of having been posted by
6 o'clock on Saturday March H.
This is positively the largest Bonus
Ballot offer of the campaign, so get
busy and take advantage of this
offer.

other week, ending Saturday March
10, 1917.

In an attompt Ia defeat any adverse
lillibustres in the federal-state project
to construct the Chicago-St. LOUIS
highway over the Ivy Way, booster
supervisors, who are said to be In, :.
majority, have tentatively agreed, a..
cording to announcements made tn S
afternoon, to an adjournment of the
present session until Saturday, Sep.
tember 2S, at which time every pos
sible way known to human ingenuity
will be employed to get La Sale co IN
ty in line with all other counties along
the proposed route at a special meet
ing of the solons to be held in Ottawa.
This morning there was some doubt
as to what procedure would be fol
lowed in getting the proposition pas"
the men who are openly antagonistlc
to the proposition, and have avowed
their intentions of defeating it. Some
were in favor of adjourning until Tues
day. Others wanted to bring the plan
to bat at once and make everyone IN
the board show his hand and then let
him 90 back to his constituents and
explain his vote. But both the3C
schemes were thought to be lost in i
more general movement for meeting
two weeks hence.
Road advocates will be brought tC
Ottawa to explain in detail all the ins
and outs of the proposition. Local and
county boosters will endeavor to con
vert the antis to the idea of backing
the plan and when the reports are In
that La Sale County stands fair tc
be the only one not to act favorably
on the proposition Its chances for pas
sage will be greatly improved.
