RACE WAKES WARM
REAL FIGHT BEGINS
Cash Prize Added for New
Business Before End of
Campaign
SIX IMPORTANT DAYS
Flood of Business Monday
Made Recheck of Votes
Impossible

With the first or preparatory per-
iod of The Sank Centre Herald's
Big Automobile and Prize cam
paign now matter of history, the
active candidates in the race are
now preparing for the final big
drive down the stretch and from
present indications it will be one
of the most exciting and interest
ing Campaigns ever conducted in
this section of the state.
A Special Prize of 500 has been
added. This Special Cash Award
will be given to the candidate Sc
points from new, subscription pay
ments during the remainder of the
campaign-the second, third and
fourth periods. You can now win
two big prizes.
Owing to the great number
of subscriptions turned in Mon
day night, the close of the first
or preparatory period, it was
impossible to re-check all the
subscriptions in time to COM
plete a vote count in tOday's is
sue of The Herald. The vote
count will appear in next
weeks issue.
A handsome motor car and a
special cash prize of 500 in gold.
This extra added prize will be
awarded at the close of the cam
paign along with the other prizes.
1t is a strange coincidence, too,
and something unsual in affairs of
this kind, but each of the leading
candidates benefited so equally
during the period just closed that
there is only small margin sep
arating the hustlers, who are fight
ing for supremacy and ownership
of one of the beautiful prize auto
mobiles.
Developments during the past
few days in The Herald's EVERY
body Wins Something Campaign"
have been the most sensational
and spectacular yet recorded.
Thousands of votes were cast.
First one candidate would hold
sway for supremacy, then another.
Battles are being fought, won and
lost and the race wages fast and
furious.
Yet so closely arrayed and with
honors so evenly divided up to the
present that it seems that it de-
ponds entirely upon the individual
efforts of each candidate between
now and the close of this period
next Wednesday October 18th, at
~ u M -
innate winners will be.
No one has a walk away for the
big prizes; neither is anyone hope
lessly beaten. Just a good bunch
of subscriptions turned into the
account of anyone of the various
contenders would change the en-
tire complexion of affairs and fur
nish a new leader in the race. In
fact a few long term new sub
scriptions now from unexpected
sources might be the very ones
needed to stem the tide Of defeat
and turn it into sweeping victory.
Race Reaches Acute Stage
But six days more to turn in
subscriptions and secure the great
est number of votes, and with but
little over two weeks to go be-
fore the race finally comes to a
close, interest in the completion
and enthusiasm in the progress Of
the candidates is growing by leaps
and bounds. Each candidate real
ICES that the grand prizes-which
mean about 1895, $678, 500, 500 in
gold respectively, is practically
within their grasp, either to be ac-
claimed for their own or forfeited
to more aggressive opponents dur
ing the next two weeks, depending
to a great extent upon their final
supreme efforts put forth now,
while the second period of big
votes are allowed. If a candidate
halts now for a single moment; If
they weaken for day or if they
overlook one opportunity to bet
ter their chances to win they are
taking the desperate chance of los
ing a big prize, already partially
won, and which really belongs to
them. A candidate who fails to do
his or her utmost the six days that
remain is almost certain to bring
dismal disappointment upon him or
herself, as well as upon their
friends who are naturally as much
interested as the candidate them
selves.
A Fight to the Finish
Candidates should not forget
that this is battle hereafter.
Hard work is what counts speed
at this particular time, too. But
rugged strength and lasting quail
ties that win any signal victory
are persistence, and the never-say-
die spirit, and an absolute deter
mination to Win. Every single
day this period should be made to
add to your standing. If you win,
and you can if you but make the eff
fort, you are making salary of
over $4,000 per week for the next
two weeks for your efforts.
Do all within your power these
next six days while subscriptions
count for so many votes and points.
These are the days in which you
can make winning certainty.
Remember! $4,000 votes are al
