HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!
100,000 EXTRA VOTES
, every one of them is working
, with frenzied excitement and
enthusiasm. Every nook and
corner of Upahur county is being
' raked as with a fine tooth comb
for the votes and subseriptions
that will win the Ford automo-
bile three weeks hence.
Indications were Friday that

How They Stand Today:
The standing below was tabulated at 6 o’clock last night in
the campaign office, and includes all votes sent in for publication
up to that time. Extreme care is being taken in tabulating the
standings and in order that there may be no errors, all votes are
being checked two and three times.
Tremendous gains can yet be made before the big 100,000
extra vote offer clones tomorrow night. Sogreat and so liberal is
the offer that in a single day’s time, any ambitious young woman
can get as many votes as any candidate has opposite her name on
this page. t
The entry period will not remain open much longer and those
who desire to enter should do so at once.
