Giles Wins Herald Home:
Hurley Finishes Second
:. ]. Fernald Third and
Laurence Herrell, Mar
shall, Va, Fourth in Long
List of Successful Com
petitors; Race Exciting.

The Washington Herald takes pleas
ure today In announcing the winners
in the Salesmanship Club campaign
which closed on Saturday. April S,
and which has keenly interested its
readers all over this section.
With a 1900 home heading the sl5.-
900 prize list. it was not surprising
that hundreds of active men and
women took part in this zplendid en-
terprise and worked diligently curing
the campaign. The mere fact that
nearly one hundred finished the race
in the winning column proves beyond
all question the splendid spirit which
followed the campaign from beginning
to end.
100000. 600 Votes Cast.
Nearly two hundred million votes
were cast during the campaign by all
the candidates in the club. The un-
usually high vote records of many OF
the candidates will no doubt go down
in local history as one of the events
long to be remembered by friends and
readers of The Washington Herald.
When the campaign first started
mark at 100000 votes. but as time
mark at a 100000 votes, but as time
passed by and interest became more
intense the 1.OOO.OOO vote mark was
left far behind. As evidence OF this
fact more than fifty candidates
finished the race exceeding that
figure.
Perhaps the most interesting and
exciting period of the SaIesmanship
Club campaign was between March
q and April Il. During this period all
new subscriptions counted double
and there were four extra prizes as
a special inducement. 1t was during
this period that the largest vote was
cast Many a candidate who made
this period their banner one finished
in the race among the highest. but in
all each of the four periods brought
forth unusual effort on the part of
all.
With the winner of the 5000 home
nearly 100000 votes ahead of his
nearest competitor, the final vote
figures show fairly wide margins be-
tween the grand prize winners. while
further down in the list other prizes
were won on close decisions.
