failed to understand the closing de-
tails.
The campaign manager will make
his final count at 1 P. NJ, Thurs
day, July 28th, for that days pa
per, and all votes clipped from the
paper must be deposited in the ballot
box before that hour.
Immediately after he makes his
final count the-ballot box will be
locked and sealed and the key turn
ed over to the judges, who will be
selected from prominent men in this
section. The final few days voting
will be entirely in their charge. SO
you can rest assured that any votes
yo uplace in the ballot box after l
P. NJ, next Thursday will not be
seen by anyone until the judges open
the box after the contest is all over
and commence the work of counting
the votes.
1t is absolutely impossible for
anyone to find out how many votes
or subscriptions a candidate has for
no one knows-not even the cam
paign manager. 1t will be blind vot-
ing the last two and one-half days,
and it can readily be seen that no
person is in a position to furnish
anyone with tips that would give one
candidate an advantage over an
other. The entire aim of the man
agement of the Mt. Sterling Advocate
and the campaign department is to
safeguard the interests of all can
didates so there will be no possibil-
ity Of anything but a square deal to
all. 1t is the contestants who keep
up vigorous campaign until the end
that will have the best chance.
