Campaign to Wind Up With
Selection of Winners
BY Judges

At s o'clock this Saturday night
eight weeks of hard wark and anx-
iety eliminates into the closing
scene of the big weekly Payroll"
circulation building campaign of
the Carbon County News.
A sealed ballot box has been in
effect during this week and the
winner will be unknown until
judges complete the counting of
credits on Saturday night. Three
days remain for candidates to put
forth every possible effort in Sc
curing one of the big cash awards.
Are you the one to finish triumph
antly with an overwhelming num-
Der of votes to your credit, or are
you going to be content with what
you have and see the efforts of
many weeks go to waste and the
rewards of the campaign wrested
from your grasp by more aggress-
i've workers?
1t is up to you now or let your
rivals beat you to it. Success in
al affair of this kind depends up
on keen judgment and immediate
action. Throughout all history
people possessing the faculty of
knowing a good thing when they
see it, and grasping it at the right
moment, have won Frequently at
the last turn of the cards) while
those undecided and afraid stand
back and talk about what they
might have done. The end is but
three days away, yet if you can
trust your own Judgment as to
your competitors strength, based
on facts and observations, and lay
your plans accordingly there is yet
time to stem the tide of defeat
and turn it into a sweeping VIC
tory.
Count On Facts Only
Don't flatter yourself that you
have already enough votes to win,
for you haven't. Don't think for
one minute that two or three mill
lion votes will be enough to win,
for it won't. There is more than
one candidate in that class now,
and after the final count comes in
to play you may expect to see
those figures enlarged. Do not
take one single chance of losing
the prize you most desire. What
if you should fall short a few
thousand votes-you would never
forgive yourself that fatal FRO
Overconfidence has lost many
battles. Relaxation at this stage
of the game is suicidal to success.
Determination to win, coupled
with relentless activity in vote
getting, will make a winner of any
candidate. There is no time to
hesitate-what is to be done must
be done nowl
Detail of Final Count
Details of the final count appear
elsewhere in this issue and candi-
dates are cautioned to read them
over carefully and follow them to
the letter. At present the ballot
box is located in The News office
where it will remain until the
judges take possession of it for
the final count.
All candidates must have three
cash reports in the ballot box in
order to qualify in the finals for
a prize or commission. At the
present time the manager of the
campaign and the publisher of this
newspaper are as much in the
dark as to the results obtained this
week, as the most casual observer,
which makes the final windup ex-
tremely interesting and exciting.
AS announced at the start of the
campaign, the contest will be I'M
der the supervision of a board of
judges, selected by the candidates
whose duties will be to count the
votes and to determine the win

From the reviewing cruiser, Pres

$45 900, 900, to launch a swarm of
hornet-like fighting planes from

With the Saratoga was her twin,

been steaming northward at eight

They followed rigid schedule

presidential cruiser. In the wake
of the flagship and the carriers,
came an hour-long parade of cruis-
ers, destroyer divisions and battle

LONDON, May 31.-Great Britain
today gave the United States gov
ernment the choice of accepting a
token debt payment Or declaring
Britain in default.
A note was drafted for the United
States and submitted to the French
government for its information Of
fering the token default alterna-
tive and suggesting a re-funding
conference.
Then, after the contents of the
note were disclosed in substance
both here and in Paris, the cabinet
held it up in the apparent hope
that President Roosevelt would use
his knowledge of it to offer nego-
tiations to the United States SILL
0O0,0O0,000 debtors.
1t was understood that the note
would not be sent before next week
The note seemed to leave the debt
issue, and the responsibility of max
ing a definite statement regarding
default, entirely to the President.
1t was drafted carefully so that a
new case would be presented. The
token payment offered is to be lar
germ the diplomatic sense, as the
amount will not be great-than the
token payment made last Decem-
ber, which was $4,000 paid in sill
yer. The payment would clear Bri-
tain of a default charge pending a

WASHINGTON, May 31-Con-
gress began winding up its affairs
today. preparatory to quick fade
out and another testing of the old
theory that business picks up as
soon as the lawmakers end their
labors.
Any prediction on the date of ad-
journment is based on so many var
liable factors that a change in one
of them throws the whole picture
out of focus But congressional
leaders are fighting to close out
the present session on June 8. a
week from Saturday night.
When President Roosevelt returns
next week he may issue orders
which would prolong the session.
The understanding among his lead
ers at the capitol when he left the
city, however, was that they were
at liberty to adjourn when they
accomplished four things:
l. Passed the reciprocal tariff bill
2. Passed the silver bill.
3. Provided funds for PWA and
relief.
4. Completed bills now in confer
ence
That program would mean aban-
donment of important legislation.
Among the bills left over would be
the Wagner industrial adjustment
bill and the administration S hous-
ing program.
President Roosevelt has spoken
favorably for both, saying he would
like to see them enacted at the
present session.

prevent conclusion of the ear drums

the rear door of the death-laden
automobile, one of them waved his
hand in signal for the crowd to
get back. Almost every man, woman
and child present obeyed the signal
almost automatically.

including newspapermen and photo

Many persons, who had been orr
dered to vacate their nearby homes,
sighed with relief.
Thank God," said one woman,
VINO had feared her cottage would
be shattered by the blast. A few men
and boys gave vent to an impromptu
cheer for the three policemen.
The grey sedan containing Ben

field. Police held back the crowd,
but allowed newspaperner to ap-
proach the sedan after !. was stop

Bennett sat in the rear seat. His
forehead was covered with perspir-
