Into every home of this section has spread the news that the “golden horn of plenty” is about to be tipped over and the hurry and scramble to come under its beneficense is precipitating a veritable storm of votes. Topping the list of rich prizes is a wonderful Nash Sedan, val ued at $1166Ynd as second grand prize, a Ford Touring Car, val ued at $447.00 is offered. These prizes have won the admiration of thonsands of people. ~ Surprises in vote gains ar$ being sprung by members all over the field. Already the mails are swelling with the volume of votes and subscriptions that are being sent in on the final report, but the height of this remarkable battle will be attained Saturday night, ending one grand final spurt, when the call of “time” is shouted. * CANDIDATES ARE WORKING • “Work without rest” is the portion the memlters have picked out for themselves during the last few days, for the extreme un certainty of just how many votes each member may have makes it urgent that everything possible be done to make sure of vic tory. Predictions are, of course, being made, but the ultimate outcome is something no human being can forecast. Certain it is, though, that two of the members will be proud owners of the two best prizes. Others will be the happy recipients of the other prizes and still others will win cash commissions. FINAL BIG SPURT • * Everything in the campaign territory pertaining to the Sales manship Club is in orderly turmoil. Excitement has become fe verish and members are working like beavers to make their ef forts count. From the outside districts advice was received late last night to the effect that entire populations were strong be hind their favorites, grimly determined that their favorites shall emerge from the campaign flushed with victory. % Some of the members far down in the list have seen their op- . portunity and are taking advantage of it: “There’s many a slip ’twixt.cup and lip,” and likewise, mapy a slip is possible before the close of the campaign. A member who rests now after mak ing a good showing thus far is going to be passed by some other candidate.who has been busily taking advantage of the final vote schedule this week. & Si ft r v Purchased From end cn Display.
