 But before there's an election the voters must have look at the candidates. Tn the Most Popular Baby Contest, not all of the candi- dates have formed their platforms, as yet. Tn fact, some of the babies are more concerned with cutting @ tooth on Q hot night.

 Official Returns
 Then, within c couple of days, youll begin to see the returns from the voting. These have been held up because 1t didn't seem fair to publish returns before every candi- dates picture had appeared in The Democrat. But, of the record, of course, we'll tell you that votes for all candidates total more than 6o,00o already. Can't tell you any more. Youll have to watch for the re- turns.
 On the eve of the real opening of the election, the Contest Man ager wants to remind every baby en- trant's supporters that they should call and get the babys silver spoons, if they haven't done SO. And, as soon as the vote-getters are out of subscription blanks, they should come to the office for more. Keep them going to assure winning of the grand prize of Si00 cash, or one of the other valuable awards, alto- gether 9200 in cash, besides loving cups and portraits of baby. Subscriptions
 Every subscription means 200 votes for your favorite baby. You don't have to write anything, solve any. thing, puzzle anything. You don't have to collect money or do any hard work. The moment some friend or relative of your agrees to have The Democrat delivered at the house, you get 200 votes. The car- rier collects the regular small sum at the end of the week. The new subscriber gets The Democrat and can watch the returns of the Most Popular Baby Contest from day to day.
 Now we've some fine babies to tell you about. These are eight pictures today and your candidate may be among them. Take a good look!
 Jackie De Biase
 A contender for first place, or we don't know our politics whatso- ever. Jackie, who seems to have . very knowing look on his face for one only three years old, Is the son of MT. and Mrs. John De Biase, 2o Avon avenue. And Jackies aunt knows about all there is to know about contests. She's Miss Doris Jacaruso, well-known in local politi- cal circles.
 Joyce Crichton
 If we were to write all the nice things thnt occur to us when we look at Joyce Crichton's smile and her deep dimples, we'd be accused of favoritism. But Joyce has our nomination for the baby with the sunniest smile we've seen yet among the entries. She's the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. James Crichton of 763 Baldwin street and this admirable Crichton is only eighteen months old.
 Marcel Philibert When we were last in France there was one matter which both- cred particularly and that was whether some of the names were boys names or girls. Of course, Marcel Proust, the great French writer, was man. So Marcel Phili- bert, only nine months old, must be a boy or else the name would De lMarcelle, or Marcella. Unafraid and forward looking is Marcel. son of MT. and Mrs. B. Philibrt of % West Clay street.
 Nicholas Rinaldi A direct gaze and no particular regard for the camera is what Nich- olas Rinaldi, three years old. son of Mrs. Jennie Rinaldi of 4l8 Pine street. shows in his picture. He's alert and his bright browns eyes will allow little to escape their scrutiny as the years unfold, 1t seems to this department.
