Big Vote Schedule
Right in connection with the big
opportunity of winning this Extra
$1OO in Gold we must not over
look the vital Importance of the
"Big Second Period Vote Seized
ule." Indeed before the week is
out, it will not be at all surprising
to see several participants, who
have not as yet been introduced TO
the stellar position in their re-
spective districts, soon passing
well known campaigners entirely
upon the results obtained by the
various candidates between now
and the finish as to whom the
ultimate leaders viii be.
The above is not "mere talk
for the sake of telling, but real
facts-theories or rumors not
withstanding. Hence the struggle
for supremacy will be fought out
during the next few days, for the
entire campaign.
The action of the vote scores re-
fleets in a general way, the pres
ent situation. That is. there is no
telling at all about anything from
day to day. Those who have been
in commanding positions for days
seem, unless they get into the har-
ness in real way, this big "Sec-
ond PERIOD" to be letting real
opportunity pass by.
Better be Safe than Sorry
= A few more laps and the course
will have been run. Only short
time remains to choose between
victory and defeat-success or
failure. Don't overlook a single
chance to better your opportunity
this period affords. II -
1t means something to win in
a competition of this kind-it'
means 1895, $746, 1925, $50, $3.50,
each to five different persons. 1t
is demonstration of capacity that
is extraordinary. 1t will test your.
mettle and measure your strength.

scented you an opportunity of win

enter now and for your efforts the
next 10 days win the 500 gold

didates in the campaign have
swelled their vote totals to won
derfully high mark, and a pretty
exciting race between the leaders

The first period of the campaign
which closed Monday night, was
a tremendous success. Tens of |
thousands-yes, hundreds of thou
sands of votes were issued and
