allow them to carry off the prizes
without giving the semblance Of a

That isn't fair.
New Nominees Could Win
Why, today an absolutely new
candidate can enter this election
and with a few subscriptions,
spring up and gain strong po-
sition with each and every one
now entered. 1t can be done.
And candidate now in can
do the same thing. There is no
handicap. All are on even terms.
Work is the governing factor.
Craftsmanship, too, helps.
For instance. for every club of
$50 worth of subscriptions. turned
in the candidate gets 100000
votes extra, over and above the
regular schedule of votes which
the subscriptions themselves pro-
vide. These clubs may be of ten
one-year subscriptions, or any
combination you may work out,
just SO they total $40 or more.
Ten one-year subscriptions total
100000 votes. With the extra 100,-
600 that would be 100000. And
If they were new subscriptions at
the end of the first period the can
didate would get vote bonus of
10000 for each new year, or 3OO,-
600 votes, making the ten sub
scriptions count $4,000 votes.
Then if it is new candidate,
there would be 5000 votes on
nomination and 100000 votes with
each group of three yearly sub
scriptions, for Opportunity cou-
pons. Thus new candidate could

It is time now to work. Sub

Contrary to the plan usually

CITIZENS OPPOSE
TRACTION OFFERS
One Man Cars and Increased
Fares Stir Wrath of Park
View Group.

Additional one-man street cars and
the alternative proposition set forth
by the traction companies OF a fare
increase, If two-man cars are to be
retained, were heavily voted down at
a meeting of the Park View Citizens
Association which met at the Park
View School last night. A resolution
which would have placed the associa-
ton on record as favoring one-man
cars of the old type, provided that
the traction companies cannot meet
the cost of operation at the present
rate with tWo-man cars, introduced by
NJ. r. Vollmer, was quickly defeated.
The majority of the members ap-
peared TO believe that the traction
companies are trying to scare the
citizens into a higher fare" by Offer
ing them the option of slower and
less efficient car service If they do
not submit to a fare increase. John
Cole, secretary of the association,
stated that he was sorry to see the
new Public Utilities Commission
weakening at its first opportunity to
act in the public welfare
Prolonged applause followed short
speeches by various members of the
association who denounced the atti-
tude of the traction companies, accus-
ing them of misrepresenting their
financial conditions.
The meeting was addressed by J.
G. Yaden, who briefly outlined the
fiscal program of the Citizens Advis-
ory Council for 1929, which the council
will soon take under consideration
He estimated that the appropriations
for that year will be approximately
$S.00O.000, provided that the present
tax rate of $3.50 is maintained. Mr.

o'clock Westover's candle fiickered,

a darkness as absolute as the black.

For time we tried to light our way
with matches, but eventually abandon
ed this as useless. We CROPPED forward
now on hands and knees, clinging to
each other, tearing our clothing and
our bodies on the jagged walls and
floor. We spoke little, each Of us
filled with gloomy forebodings born
Of the horrible death that confronted
us.
We had progressed perhaps a hun

when a sharp cry of horror broke
from Austin.

Striking a light, he held it over the
Sawning NAV OF a nit directly in front
of him--a nit whose mouth stretched
clear across the narrow gallery and
whose farther side we could not see.
Austin dropped pebble into the
abyss, but no sound came back to US.
None of US uttered word, SO filled
with terror were we. The match flick
cred out, and. realizing the futility OF
lighting another. Austin crawled past
us and took the lead on the back
track, the three OF us creeping along
in single file, Austin being ever care
full to- feel Tor any offshoots that might
lead away from either side, But no.

BY this time they are searching for

of enthusiasm or hope in. his voice.
But is there any likelihood that
they will find us?'' asked Westover.
