1OP.M M. SATURDAY, MAY "A MARKS
CLOSE OF CIRCULATION CAMPAIGN

who failed to call and verify their
records, are, according to the an
nouncement made earlier this
week, considered as having given
notice to the judges and the Cour-
ier-Reporter that they accept their
records as the Courier-Reporter
has them and authorize the hdges
to use them as the basis of the
final count.
AS announced at the beginning
of the campaign, no extra votes of
any kind will be offered this week,
the last period of the campaign.
Extensions do not count for extra
votes. They simply count for the
number of years they are secured
for on the fourth period vote
schedule. New subscriptions will
carry no bonus and count the same
as a renewal for the same length
of time. Rumors to the effect that
the campaign will be extended
have no foundation whatever. The
campaign closes next Saturday at
10 pm. and all prizes will be a.
warded..
The campaign management is
now, to all intents and purposes,
through. While on the job all week,
busy with closing details and the
checking up of candidates, the
campaign this week is in the seal
ed box. Who will win? The ques-
tion we cannot answer if we would.
We don't know. In each district
there are several contenders who
have within their power to attain
their objective this week. Produc-
tion in the sealed ballot box alone
will tell the tale!
This final period a ten-year SUBJ
scription produces 375,000 votes
and % points. Four of these cred
its you with one and a half mil
lion votes and lightweight points.
Eight of these long term subscrip-
tions will advance your score three
million and one hundred and sew
enty-six points; and a dozen of
these stellar counters will chalk
you up with five million five hum
dred thousand (5,500,000) votes
and two hundred and sixty-four
points.
The race is close and the scores
will be large. that is certain. The
standing of candidates as totaled
from all votes cast for publication
up to the time of the advent of the
sealed ballot box appears today.
No Party Saturday Night
Promptly at 10 o'clock Saturday
night the judges will declare the
campaign officially closed and mo
one will be allowed to deposit anv
thing in the ballot box after that
time. Immediately after the Of
ficial ending of the campaign the
final count will begin.
No one will be allowed to ba
present during the final count ey-
cept the judges, the publisher and
the campaign manger. The Cour-
ier-Reporter is giving no party
Saturday night and no display of
any kind will be made in the clos,
ing of the campaign. The final
results can be secured great deal
sooner if the judges are not both
cred and confused by the people
who would gather about them. un-
der any other condition.
When the final hour arrives. the
campaign will be declared closed
The judges will then break tba
seals. unlock the box and imme-
diately thereafter, or as soon as
votes and points can be issued on
the subscriptions contained there
in. the last count-will begin.
Each candidate is now devotino
every minute of their time to get.
ting in all the votes and points
possible before the closing hour

Robes Is Given
Term In Prison

The one ease of forgery standing
against Alberto Robes aud Pablo
Reaynoso was officially dismissed
in superior court this morning upon
motion of the district attorney :
office, Luis Valencia, named as
eo'lefendant with Reaynoso and
Robes, had previously been dis
charged, the appellate court holding
that no forgery had been commit
ted and sustained his appeal from
denial of a writ of habeas corpus.
This relieves Reaynoso entirely
from charges brought in the case
which revolved about two checks
made out to Luis Sanchez and alleg-
ed to have been cashed by Reayno-
so and Robes, with Valencia i'm
picated in the deal.
Robes, however, pleaded guilty
to the second charge and was de-
MED probation following hearing
before Judge Finney this morning.
He was ordered committed to San
Quentin penitentiary for one to IA
years.
Valencia has been released under
$3.50 bail. He pleaded not guilty
to the second charge and jury
failed to reach verdict in trial
held this week. The case has been
set for re-trial on October 3.

UNUSUALLY LIGHT
VOTE RECORDED
ON BOND ISSUE.

Voting on the $4,000 bond issue
election was progressing slowly to-
day despite efforts of those inter
ested to poll heavy vote. At .
o clock only 27S ballots had been
east at city hall, the only precinct
used in the election.
While the voting will probably
be light, the bond issue is expected
to be passed by wide majority. A
two.thirds majority is needed to
carry the issue but as far as could
be determined only one or two ad-
verse votes had been cast,,if any, at
. o clock.
. A committee composed of mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
was preparing to rout out number
OF the delinquent voters this after
noon. A check has been kept on
every person that has cast a vote
and efforts are being made to urge
those to the polls who have failed
to show up.
The voting started off briskly as
the polls opened at 7 O'Clock, the
100 mark being passed within an
hour. But from that time on it be-
gan to drop. The noon hour brought
another short rush but it abated
soon.
1t is hoped that the late after
noon will produce a rush to bring
the vote up over the 1000 mark. 1t

BAD WEATHER
HOLDS GRACE
AT HONOLULU


BARKING SANDS, ISLAND OF
KAUAI, July 1.-The attempted
trans-Pacific airplane flight of Dick
Grace, Pasadena, Cal, aviator, was
postponed until at least p. IN. to-
day, Honolulu time (4:30 p. m. Pa
cifie standard time) according to
an announcement made by Lieuten-
ant +. b. Roger, Grace's flight
manager
Weather conditions were reported
improving but Roger said Grace
must wait until the weather reports
indicate the wind had dropped be
low - miles an hour.
Grace plane had a gasoline sup
ply sufficient for 80 hours flying at
100 miles an hour.
This gave him leeway of 600
miles as the nearest point ON the
mainland from Barking Sands is
o400 miles but navy officers esti-
mated that a Is mile head wind
would cause four hour delay over
the entire course cutting down his
leeway at only 200 miles,
An error m reckoning or compass
bearing off only five degrees would
add another 200 miles to the course
and would cut down Grace's mar
gin of gasoline to nothing.
Grace is planning to make the
flight equipped only with a compass
and accompanied only by a wire
haired FOX terrier nunDV
His plane, a cruisair, is similar to
the monoplane Spirit of st. Louis
but Grace's ship is not equipped
