ATTENTION CANDIDATES
Some of the candidates are over-confident which is
one of the greatest handicaps that can befall a person
in a contest Remember ... it is better to be safe
and win a million too many votes than to lose by a
thousand I In other words, let's run our own contest
and quit worrying about what the other candidates
are doing.
