lar prizes, you will be paid in cash
for your efforts. With everything to
win and nothing to lose, you can
hardly make better use Of your spare
time than to enter the big race.
May Enter at Any Time
Don't get the idea that by the
first publication Of names the NOM
nations have been closed. Such is
not the case. Candidates may and
will enter the big race for some time
to come and some Of the ultimate
winners may not enter for two or
three weeks yet. Prospective candi-
dates and their friends viii have the
privilege Of sending nominations up
to the last few days Of the closing
Of the campaign. t
The Nominations
Prospective candidates should not
be frightened at the long list Of
nominations which appear in today's
issue. While it contains quite a
long list Of nominations, all cannot
be figured as serious prize contend
ers. For several days past our
readers have been invited to nomi-
nate those whom they would like to
see win one Of the awards offered,
and, as demonstrated by the large
list, they have responded nobly. It
is to be expected that many will find
it impossible to participate, so the
names of many will be cancelled
from the printed list as soon as pos
sible, leaving the race to those who
have entered with a determination to
go to the finish.
The second publication of nomina-
tions will be made in next weeks is
sue, at which time the new nomina-
tions will be added and votes cast,
creditd to those already on the list.
This will be repeated each week un-
til the finish, which will make it a
very interesting battle of ballots and
the outcome will be eagerly watched
by thousands. y,
Among the many who will be

The Advocates Mammoth Auto
mobile and Prize Campaign starts
today. Below is published a partial
list Of the candidates who have thus
far been nominated in the big race.
The names Of scores Of prospective
candidates appear and the large
number certainly indicates a remark
able interest in what is destined to
be one Of the most friendly struggles
for rich rewards ever launched in
this vicinity.
In this list will be found popular
and ambitious people from all over
this section. These nominations
were sent in, in most instances, by
friends who expect their favorite to
get busy and win one of the costly
awards. 1t is an indication of the
confidence some friend has in that
candidates ability to win. 1t is a
gauge Of capability and inferentially
a nice little compliment.
Many New Names will Come
It Is the experience Of the Cam
paign Manager that many new nom
nations will come in after the first
list has been published. 1t gives peo-
pie an opportunity to look over the
list of nominations and see if their
favorite's name has been entered, or
if their town or neighborhood is rep
resented. So for that reason many
new nominations will undoubtedly
be received for some time to come.
With the list Of names published
today, indicating the class of popu-
lar people to whom this big prize
has appealed, there is no reason why
any popular and ambitious person
should hesitate about entering the
bgi race. The prizes are all very val
liable and well worth striving for;
the race is open to all white people
of good character; the conditions
are simple; person with the aver
age number of acquaintance has
just as good a chance as anyone,
and there is no chance to lose, for if
you should not win one Of the regu-
