zoos business and professional men,

american Optimists' Clubs" At the
same time in midwest cities several
clubs were formed, the first in In
d~ianapolis. The two sets Of optimists

cannot with any shadow Of Justice be
refused. Should it be rejected the
consequences would be as follows:
"1-Ireland henceforth must rely
for her deliverence wholly upon her
own efforts. No such rule, has been
laid. down with regard to n other
OF the smaller nationalities whose
emancipation has been made the cafe
of the conference.
"2-Nations which never have de-
MED the right OF ireland to freedom
will deprive themselves for the future
Of the power Of countenRncing her
claim, and will in consequence be
bound. for the first time in history. to
leave her unaided to her own re-
sources as indicated in the preceding
paragraph.
"3-Article Ten will impose upon
All nations, as a condition Of member

guarantee to Great Britain a title to
the possession Of Ireland and do
minion v the Irish people.
Against the imposition Of such
slavery upon Ireland. and especially
against the giving of such a kuaran-
tee of title to Great Britain, I enter
OF behalf of the people Of Ireland, in
speak, the most emphatic protest.
Great Britain's title to ireland rests
solely upon the military power of a
nation to determine the fortunes Of a
people v whom they have no right
to rule except the right of force The
combined guarantee of such a title
| against the declared protest Of Ireland
would constitute a. definite denial of
the principle of justice to all peoples
and n~ationalities and their right to
live on equal terms Of liberty and
safety with one another, whether
strong or weak and without\the &C
ceptance of that principle n part OF
the structure Of international Justice
can stand
1.-THE guarantee Of such a title
would be subsersive Of the reign OF

governed and sustained by the or
ganized opinion Of mankind The
guarantee of such q title would con-
stitute recognition of the right of the

BUILD VOTE RESERVES

Also, the special offer makes it pos sible for candidates to build up snug little vote reserves to be used later on in the campaign Quite a few candidates are using this foresighted method of pro- tecting themselves against the future Just at this period of the campaign it is well for every candidate to look well to his vote standing. to see that no other candidate whose abilities has been un- der-rated, may nose him out of an ad- vantageous position in the vote columns. The impossible may happen, though. There is every indication that several can didates, inactive thus far, will emerge from the smoke of battle July 10 with vote standings that will make the present leaders take a decided tumble. In the last few days several letters have come to the campaign office telling of the suc- cess candidates are meeting, and the clubs they expect to turn in Also, sev eral surprises are due to be sprung in the city division, as city contestants are no less enthusiastic regarding the offer In fact, every district is expected to fur nish it's quota of surprises.

Final Week Of $500 Gold and Extra Vote Offer Begins Today
Candidates in AgeHeralds Stupendous Campaign Have Until P. M. Thursday, July 10th, to Build $50 Clubs of New Subscriptions to Win Extra
 Votes and Big Gold Prizes

Heralding a splendid opportunity to in crease chances of winning one of the 10 beautiful automobiles that are to be awarded on August ?, the final week of the stupendous golden vote offer, the feature event of The Age-Herald's great prize campaign, begins tomorrow. Until o'clock Thursday night, July 10, every club of 80 worth of new subscriptions turned into the campaign office is worth 5000 extra votes-extra votes, mind you. over and above all regular votesi But more than that, every dollar in new sub scr1pton payments turned in during the period of the offer applies toward the winning of the six gold prizes which will go to the candidates who turn in the largest sum of money before the offer closes. Most candidates are considering this next week the most important of the entire campaign, because of the double extra reward for efforts. New subscriptions are of tremendous value up to, Thursday night, July 10. They will win both extra votes and gold, and they will help to win an automobilei
 particularly interesting feature of the campaign during the last week or 10 days is the surprising number of new contestants who have worked their way to the top. Every one of the 10 districts comprising the campaign territory has been represented in this advance. Young men and women, who it was thought would make little or no effort, have jus

BIG WEEK EXPECTED

The campaign department is making preparations to handle an extraordinary large volume of business during the next week. So many candidates have declared it would be the biggest week of the cam paign for them thus far, that there is no telling how high the votes may pile up in the never-ending rush to win the 10 beautiful motor cars. The campaign de- partment has also arranged that country contestants and others who will be unable to visit the campaign office may mail their new subscriptions and remittances to apply on the offer any time up to 9 D. m Thursday, July 10 They must sim ply see that the letter containing the votes and the subscriptions is deposited in the mails prior to the closing hour of the offer. Under this arrangement coun- try contestants have as much time to de- vote to the offer as have those who re- side in the city.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-02

Moreover, candidates are not limited to the number of clubs they turn in. They may get as many as they like, and extra votes will be issued on each and every side. It may be possible to get two or three clubs. Also, you will get pro rata number of votes for every portion of a club after the first has been turned in. For instance, a club and half would mean 135000 votes.
 The gold-s3O0 in six prizes-will go to the three candidates in the city. division, and the three candidates in the country division who turn in the greatest sums ill new subscription payments befd'e the offer closes Not the highest number of new subscriptions, nor the greatest number of votes, but the largest sums Of money. These gold prizes, graduating from $25 up to s75, all are given as ex- tra added rewards, and have no bearing whatsoever on the awarding of the 10 automobiles and other prizes to be given away free on August 2.
