In of typographical other error, it is

There will be several big prizes awarded, besides
a twenty per cent cash commission to all ACTIVE
non-prize winners but it is distinctly understood
that in event ANY candidate becomes INACTIVE,
failing to make weekly cash report, he she
will become disqualified and thereby forfeit all
right to prize commission.
To insure absolute fairness in awarding the
prizes, the campaign will be brought to a close under
"sealed ballot box system and will be under
the personal supervision of two or more judges
selected from the Advisory Board. During the
entire last week of the election, candidates and
their friends will deposit their final collections
and reserve votes in the locked and sealed ballot
box. And, not until the race is closed will the
seals be broken and the judges begin the final
count. In this way one, not even the campaign
manager the publisher possibly know the
voting strength of the respective candidates which
precludes any possibility of favortism and nsures
fairness to the mnutest degree.
The Chicago Whip reserves the right to amend
the rules of this election if necessary for the pro-
lection of the interest of both the candidates and
this paper.
In accepting nominations, the candidates
agree to abide by the above conditions
