FOURTEEN GOLD PRE AWAY TO SUBSCR1BI We have often heard it remarked j that the people of Williamsburg1 county kept in touch with both State I ] and county politics as closely as do I any people in the entire State. In j I other words, our people "just natu-i i rally like politics." ! i Now, to try out this theory and, j i withal, to add a little more excite- \ ment to the present campaign and while away these long summer days we have decided to offer our readers a big voting contest, the particulars of which are given below. To make worth while the time and thought expended on the part of contestants, we have arranged to give away fourteen gold prizesreal money?in from $2.50 to $20.()0 gold pieces. The contest will be absolutely fair?the best guessers get the money. The contest starts today and will close Monday, August 24?the day before the primary election. The total amount of gold money is sixty-five dollars, as fol-; lows: One double eagle,$20; one eagle, $10; two half eagles, $10; ten quarter eagles, ($2.50 each) $25? total, $65.00. In case of a tie the money will be fairly distributed among the winners. Now, here are the conditions: Below we print a ticket containing the names of all the candidates for State and Federal offices, with a blank space (dotted line) for the name and address of the guesser. To the person who comes nearest to guessing the winning candidates,the gold prizes will be given. Just clip th^ ballot from the paper and scratch the names off the ticket, as you do in voting in a primary election. The names left on the ticket will be counted as your guess. No ballots will be counted except those clipped from The Record. Any person may vote any number of times. Additional copies of the paper containing ballots may be had at The Record office at five cents each. Every person who sends in a guess must enclose one dollar for one year's subscription to The Record with each guess. If you are already a subscriber and paid in advance the one or more dollars sent will be credited to extend your subscription, itaii r?abqtrek fKn nonnr oon " tr\ yji juu luaj iic*vv. vuw papvi ovuv tv any of your friends for one or more years. . J No contestant is limited to one guess,but each may send in as many tickets as he or she pleases,provided that one dollar is sent in with every guess. One contestant mav take ten or more guesses, if he wishes, and N possibly win several prizes. * The names need not be the per- r sonal preferences of those who send * them in, but will be their judgment 1 as to who will be elected. The names * of those sending the ballots will be held in confidence, and will not be 1 given out, except the names of the * winners of the prizes after the con- ( test closes, which will be after the < election is finally settled, atter tne second primary. ( The ballots for each candidate will 1 be counted as they come in, and the 1 result will be published from time ] to time in The County Record. This will be a "straw ballot," which we * beiieve will be of interest to our readers, as it will be a forecast by ( the readers of The Record as to how 1 they think the election will go in ' this county. Cut out the ballot, strike out all 1 except those you think will be elected, and send it in at once. You can send ballots now, tomorrow and every day till the day before the first 1 primary, August 24.
