be made. The count should be made
in an hours time after started.
Terrific Fight Ahead.
There is no need to dwell upon the
fact that the remaining few days of
the campaign will be a real struggle,
with three big leaders who have been
seesawing back and forth all the way
through, and a fourth that is threat
ening each count, with town against
town and district against district; will
it be Pocomoke to win out over them
all, OF will it be Chincoteague, OR will
it be Temperanceville.
Community spirit and Maryland and
Virginia blood is boiling, some one
must win, and not only the candidates
realize the fact, but the public and
leading citizens know that they must
back up their candidate to the limit,
and when the judges announce the
final count, win or lose, every one
wants to feel that they have gone
their limit.

This week finds the candidates Dig
ging for new business, there being
special awards offered for new sub
scriptions. Even with the list of the
Democrat covering the territory from
Salisbury to Cape Charles, the new
subscriptions are pouring in from ev-
cry direction. AS it stands, with the
campaign to go ten more days, there
is very little doubt but that The Demo-
crat can claim the largest paid in ad
vance circulation in Worcester County,
and considering the fact that The
Democrat covers a major portion of
the Virginia Peninsula, the value of
this circulation is apparent.
Campaign To Run Ten More Days
While the campaign is to run ten
omre days, these days seem but hours
to the candidates, who giving their
best efforts to overcome their COM
petitors, gaining not only the splen-
did awards, but the honor of winning
in such a fast field of workers. 1t is
just to say at this time, that the splen-
did efforts of the several candidates
have exceeded all expectations of the
publisher and campaign manager.
The candidates have at all times main
tanned the best of humor, and are
fighting fair fight, and it must be
said that in this respect they have the
encouragement of the public at large.
There is no doubt but the final decis-
ion will be made upon honest effort,
and the awards will be made upon
honest effort, and the awards will be
made upon merit.
! While in this heated race the candi-
dates are going their limit, we must
not overlook the fact that they are
receiving The finest kind of support
ali over the territory. Not only are
friends and relatives, but the interest
the merchants and citizens are show
ing is indeed gratifying. This solid
effort is bound to make the drive a
big success, and one of untold value
to all within the reach of The Demo-
crat.
Double Credits On Now.
With the end of last week, the big
credits were thing of the past. The
double credits being in force this week
and next The candidates must take
advantage Of these double credits and
the clubs, as the credits for the final
and in the ballot box will again be cut
in half. Next week, being the last Of
the double credits will be another up
and down week, and in all probability
be a larger week than the end of the
| big credits 1t is the last lap into the
final dash, and every candidate will be
going their limit.
The Final Dash.
Full details of the final dash and
count will appear in next weeks is

BerIenbach Is Ever

Toe to Toe

You can say for Paul Berlen-
bach that he never wins his
fights going away. He IS At
ways crowding his opponent, IL
ways moving forward and al
ways ready to stand and slug
with any Of them.
Berlenbach's chief weakness
appears to be that he is rot
hard to hit on the jaw. His
shoulders are SO sIoping that he
can't tuck his chin behind them,
as many fighters do. But Pauls
boxing ability seems to nave
improved vastly.
Nevertheless, BerIenbach will
