The first period" OF the Ages
bio automobile and cash contest
closed at pm. last Saturday ana
closed amid a furry OF votes.
Developments during the last
twenty-four hours OF the "flrst
period" in the Age contest were
the most spectacular that have
vet been recorded. From noon
Saturday until the close OF the
office at 8 o'clock, many votes
were cast; first one candidate
would hold sway for supremacy,
then another; battles were won
fought and lost, and the race
waged fast and furious.
Yet so closely arranged and
with honors so evenly divided up
to this stage of the game, that
1t now depends entirely upon the
results obtained by each ndlvl-
dual candidate between now and
the end of the campaign as to
who the ultimate winner will be.
Hence the struggle for supre-
macy will be fought out during
the second period" which ter

day night.
Actual Test Now Ahead
Now for a whirlwind finish!
Now for sensations and surpr1S-
es! Present leaders must in
crease their vote total nightly
II they wish to finish IN tine big
money. AS may be seen by
glancing at the vote totals, all
the leading candidates are entire
ly too close to be safe, so devel-
opments are bound to happen
this week.
It is in you to win if you will.
This is the final test. These are
the days that will test your re-
sourcefullness.
HERE is WHERE COURAGE
UPHOLDS YOU AND MAKES
YOU FIGHT OR THE LACK OF
1T TAKES THE STIFFNESS OUT
OF YOUR KNEES and leaves
you trailing in the dust-an "also
ran"
Sometimes, too, your supreme
courage urges you on, even when
you tire, but that is the gameSt
fight of all-and the winning.
IT'S the coward who quits to
misfortune,
IT'S the knave who changes
each day;
IT'S the foil who wins half of
the battle,
Then throws all his chances
away.
The time to succeed is when
others,
Discouraged, show traces of tire;
The battle is fought on the
home stretch,
And won-twiXt the flag and
the wire.

the next ten days. That is, while
the second period" schedule is IN

competition is at hand. and while
all candidates are ON exactly the
same footing, at the same time

are afforded the opportunity OF
the contest to forge ahead ana
corral the winning votes.
