The time of the Auto Contest has


The time of the Auto Contest has
been redu ed to a matter of hours
and minutes as o'clock sharp Sat-
urday night, September 9th. is the
end. The judges will start count
ing after that hour and about one
hour and thirty minutes latter they
will render decisions and turn the
various prizes over to the eleven
prize winners. If vote ballots or
subscriptions. should fail to reach
this office by that time they would
be lost as far as the contest is con-
cerned
ANYONE'S RACE
The vote is so close the contest
is a race in every sense of the word.
A number of candidates are punched
for first place and right on the eve
of the closing more than a half doz-
tn candidates are so even there is
practically no difference among them.
If the contest ended today there
would probably be a difference of
not more than d dozen subscriptions
between the contestant winning the
Sedan and the one who held sixth or
seventh place in the list.
While the usual campaign bluffs
and stories to fntimidate weak
= hearted candidates have been circu-
lated they seem to have fallen fiat
and have failed to dampen the en-
thusiasm of the workers, as most of
the candidates realize that really
formidable. rivals do not reveal
their plans and boast of them. Bluff
can win nothing and at the show
down Saturday night all bluffs will
shrivel up like a punctured toy bal
loon. The persistent workers will
win. The workers who push their
campaign with vigor up 70 the end
and organize their friends to stand
by them at the critical hour.
EldtC bttu
The outstanding feature of the
contest is that no candidate has
turned in many subscriptions, al
though the total business turned in
by sixty workers has been entirely
satisfactory. 1t seems to be race
among many with no one doing very
much and it appears someone will
win the car with a surprisingly
small number of subscriptions.
Final Vote Offer
Each $15 worth of subscriptions
will earn four hundred thousand
(4O0,OOO) votes in addition to the
number each separate subscription
earns according to the vote table.
There will be no change of any
kind from this offer. Nothing new
or different in anyway.

D No Advantage or Information
There is no way in which any
candidate can secure advantage ov-
er the others. Not single person
in the world knows the standings of
contestants now, nor win any one
know before the Contest Judges
have finished the count and named
the winners.
While there is record at this
ONCE OF each ballot issued. they new
er have been tabulated and never
will be until the contest has ended.
Even the Contest Manager has no
exact knowledge of this point and
