THREE DAYS TO
SEE FINISH OF
AUTO CONTEST
Windup Will Be Close and
Candidates Are Preparing
For Race.

For Race.
Three days more will decide the win
ners of the three grand prize auto
mobiles and the other prizes In the
great vote race. Effective work is De-
ing done in all districts, and from
present indications, the race will be
hard fought with narrow margins OF
victory. Candidates and their friends
are lining up for whirlwind finish.
Concerned only with the thought Of
getting votes-and plenty of them
that victory and an automobile will be
theirs, candidates in the $4,000 Prize
Campaign are hourly increasing their
vigorous pace, and gathering such
remarkable momentum as the time
slips by that the short remaining
Period Of three days until the close
will see this victory in turmoil of
excitement, grimly determined that
their favorite candidates will be the
ones upon whom honor will be bestow-
ed
Many phases of the campaign hken
themselves to field of battle. First,
the rumble of the distant guns is
heard approaching. Nearer they come,
steadily pursuing the onward march.
AS they loom on the horizon, the roar
becomes even louder, as every OBJ
stacle that impedes their path is shat
tered to bits. The tumult becomes
deafening as the mighty ones sweep
clean the path before them, never hest
tating a moment in the line Of prog
ress.
Are Forging Ahead.
Such is the advancement Of the can
- 9xrt ~,
of the automobile prizes. With the
shortness OF time acting as quicken
ing impulse and the magnificent prizes
squirting them on to be the first to
claim them, these young people are
forging ahead like a might army that
sweeps everything before it.
But it takes courage to maintain the
pace that the onrush is setting. Cour-
age-yes, and tenacity. Sticking
through until the finish, and gaining
every vantage that presents itself, is
what will bring many of these wise
candidates out on top.
Every hour is important now. And
SO is every subscription. The only diff
ference in having an automobile and
not having one, is "Votes." The pres
ent vote schedule allows a liberal
amount of votes for subscriptions.
This schedule ends at s o'clock,
Thursday night. It is positively the
last offer of the campaign. and, by TAX
ing full advantage of 1t, an automobile
can be plucked that otherwise might
be out of reach.
Two year subscriptions are especial
ly valuable for votes, and candidates
should bend all their energies in Sc
curing these. New subscriptions count
for twice the votes that old payments
and help build up mighty reserve
vote for the final hour. Who knows
but what only two or three subscrip-
tions may separate a candidate from
the coveted prize? To repeat, every
subscription is important. Every added
subscription that is secured lessons
greatly the chances of defeat.
Many Quiet Workers.
There are many quiet, energetic
workers in this campaign who have
not been saying much, but have been
working with an object in view. These
are the ones that bear watching. They
add uncertainty to the outcome. They
have not been heralding their work
but, instead, have been adding to their
vote reserve steadily, and when the
final count is over on Saturday night
it will bring some big surprises.
There are twelve chances to win a
prize, and three of them mean an au
tomobile. It is only a narrow margin
between the two. Plan at night fol
the morrow, and make every hour un
til the final one a source of productive
ness. All the people of the county are
watching with interest at fever heat;
the majority of them are pulling
strong for their favorites The i'm
mensity OF the campaign become:
more impressive day by day. Ant
everyone of the next three day!
should be full Of speed"
Bear in mind that the last big vote
schedule ends at o'clock on Thurs
day night. After that date, old ant
new subscriptions count for votes a.
per the voting table printed on receip
books. The contest ends at o'clocl
on Saturday night. All orders 70

al checks from candidates will be &C
cepted after Thursday night unles
they have been certified by a banker
Each and every subscription orde
must be bona fide and cash must az
company same. No money can b
turned in for subscriptions and name
furnished Later on" Everythin
pertaining to the campaign will b
fair and square in every particu1al
That is the way the campaign ha
been conducted from the start and wi
be carried through on this same hig
plane to the finish Saturday night.
