Big VOTES 6no SATURDAY
Saturday night at 10 o o'clock
sees the close OF the last big vote
schedule of the raee---this ends the
biggest remaining vote offer of the
campaign. After that time sub.
scriptions count for many less
votes. For this very good reason
the next four days are by far the
most important Of the home
stretch. Whoever goes out in front
these next few days will have the
hest chance Of all toward landing
the big motor ears.
The wise candidates are the ones
who are plugging for the subscrip-
tions. To delay getting in their
best work means failure in the end.

the courage-the pep, energy and
determination necessary to be sue

Somebody is going to make their
time worth more than $1995.OO III
the next four days. But It takes
nerve, hard wor kand enthusiasm
to be the victor.
After Dee. 16th--ncxt Saturday
at 10 o'clock-the vote schedule Is

the new management has extended
credit to practically all old subscrib-

rather have their goodwill, than do
them an injustice with an over
charge or non-delivery of paper
they may have paid for. Some sub
