Circulation Campaign to
Finish Second Period on
Saturday Night, Dec. 9
Honors So Far Evenly Divided; Candidates Prepare
to Make Final Stand Before 1890 O'clock on Sat
urday Night; Don't Wait Until Next Period Be-
cause Votes Are Greatly Reduced After Dec 9Th.

With honOrs thus far about even
~ devided candidates in rhe Press
now famous automobile prize cam
paign are preparing with feverish
haste and intensity to make their
final stand for victory before 10
0 clock Saturday night-the close of
the second period schedule of votes.
Surging forward at the rate of
several thousand votes al "a clip, all
Of the leading candidates are dash
ing through the final days at top
speed-straining every nerve in the
final efforts for supremacy.
Action Grows Faster
More general and concerted action
should take place during the next
few days than at aTy other time
since the contest began and with
the race narrowing down to q limit
ed few each OF the favorites are
more determined than ever to be de-
clarcd winners Of first honors.
Interest in the competition is
running high and strong. And it
has not been confined alone to this
locality, but has reached out until
there are hundreds, yes, thousands
Of eager friends who are awaiting
the final outcime with intense in
terest
A striking feature Of the past
few days is the personal pride that
is becoming noticeable. Several Of
( the candidates have voiced their de
/ termination TO win at all hazards.
! One declared that 10 accept defeat
/ would be disgrace. Another said
( she owed it 10 her friends who have
. helped her SO Loyalty up 70 now to
put forth every effrot and draw on
( every resource TO the extent that
when the final day Of reckoning
comes everything will have been
( done ana nothing left uudone to
! better her chances TO win.
False Stories
! It is no doubt natural, with such
/ intense interest being shown in the

would attempt TO discourage others

one hears are so highly embellished
with frills, so utterly inconceivable,
that their untruthfulness is readily
apparent. These exaggerated stories
hurt no ole but those who attempt
to circulate them. The REAL con-
testants are htose who are too busy
either to listen or to beb luffed by
these would-be buffers.
I So on the basis Of personal honor
the competition is being waged zest-
I fully. Shedding lustre on this in
spring sight is the civic pride man
Testing itself. This mighty factor
is the bulwark behind the various
candidates; in short, each communi-
~ and each "set' is solidly behind

Getting hot, this race. Votes are
increasing with leaps and bounds.
These fine days are great for the
campaign. Use every one of them
for YOU know not what day may
start a rainy spell.
\ new leader heads the list in
District No. today. Miss lone
Sammons entered the campaign tie
first day, and has proved her right
to the support of her friends by her
consistent work throughout the per
iods.
Mrs. Merle Brooks Hart of Braw-
lev saws she is finding out who her
friends arc, when she goes to them
for votes to boost her score. Mrs.
Hart s standing in the race should
be great satisfaction 10 the friends
that have helped.
Second payments are wonderful
helps Remember the story OF the
two blades of grass.
The rivalry in the Brawley Dis
trict is interesting, for it is any
bodv's with each leader hailing
from different community. 1t is
this community spirit that will help
to decide the race in the end.
Mrs. Ruby Harris was forced to
lose a few davs on account of sick
ness at home. She reported three
times in the last two days to make
up for lost time.
Mrs. Glen Lynch has been one of
the most consistent gamers in the
Calcxico District. 1t is through her
constant work among her friends
that she is leading the list i'll her
District.
The $4,000 in gold to be given
away on Saturday December 10 Is
attracting almost as much attention
and effort as the great list of
awards that are to be distributed a
week later. Every candidate has an
equal chance at these awards for
ali started even last week. Each new
subscription counts one point.
Miss Jane Royce is proving her
self hard worker. Her untiring
efforts to corral every possible vote
from her friends is resulting in a
daily increase in her vote score.
indications are that more names
will be eliminated from the lists
this week. Names are eliminated
that those desiring to help those
only who are conducting an active
campaign may be sure just who the
candidates are WHO are helping
themselves.
Miss Sophia Dunlap is proving
herself worthy Of the help Of heI
friends. Her vote score took Il big
jump today.
Miss Caroline Crumblcs has a host
Of friends who have helped her vote
score tremendously, and who arc
Watching her race anxiously witt
the hope and belief that she can
carry off high honors on the 22nd
Miss Helen Weber says she has
some more good subscriptions prom
iscd. The exceptional work done by
this candidate with. short in which
TO produce should be a satisfaction
to all of her friends who have helped
her in the race.
Mrs. Loleat NJ. Hodson says she
is enjoying canyassing in this cam
paign, and is getting real pleasure
out Of the work while she is adding
10 her vote score. The enjoyment
that has come from the work is
doubtless one reason for Mrs. Hod
son g sutcess SO far as most of hei
votes have come from canyassing.

Second Payments

For tl'is reason, and for the reason
that the differences in value bet
tween the grand capital prize Of the
campaign and the secondary award
is approximately 81 200 quite a tidy
little sum itself you can expect to
see a desperate struggle on all sides
before the big prize is finally
awarded.
With but ten more days in which
to- turn in subscriptions and secure

but two weeks more to 90 before
the final day and hour of the elec-

brought to Il close and the end may
now be said to 6e in sight
Ten clock a week from Saturday
is positively yoIr last chance TO
enter subscriptions and secure see

set every hour, count while the time
counts most.
Very Close Race
Tie entire race is SO close that
amy one of the candidates can forge
TO the front and clinch the coveted
hoEors while the present big vote
schedule is in force. Indeed the out
come of the whole battle depends
almost entirely upon what each in
dividual contestant accomplished
during the next few days.
Some hard work and real hustliDg
will undoubtedly be seen in the
next week. And is it any wonderl
some twelve Of the hustlers are 90
ing to make huIdrcds OF dollars for
their efforts these days. And all
will win a big commission for their
work. Isn't that sufficient compen-
