THE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE. MKHftMiD, OR., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 190S.
DO YOU KNOW? THE CONTESTIS NEARLY OVER
If You Think You Have not as Many Votes as You
Would Like You had Better get Busy.
The ballot box closed at 7:110 p. m.
"Wednesday evening and the keys were,
turned over to II. I', (iurnett and F. II.'
Hutchuson, of the firm of Haker & '
Hutchnson, who will net as the official!
jmlnes to determine the winners. j
These gentlemen will attend to thoj
counting of the ballots, and the con-:
tenants and those of their friends who
are interested are cordially requested
to be present and witness the method
employed in counting thousands of j
votes.
The standings of the candidates pub
lished in the issue of yesterday will)
be taken by the judges and the ortieial
count of tiie ballots begun. To insure
a fair and impartial deal to every can )
didnte not that full confidence has
not been place din the management of i
the contest, but because of policy it j
lias been deeided to have two judges
and tabulators to preside over the final'
vomiting. I
Through the courtesy of the above-j
named gentlemen who have consented i
to act, the candidates can feel assured
that each and every ballot will bo
counted as east.
The Contest.
The question has arisen in several
instances concerning the management
and handling of the grand award con
test being held at the present time on
the Medford Daily Tribune and the
.Southern Oregonian.
It is presumed that all of the candi
dates who are striving for honors in
this contest would like to know more
about the contest relative to its man
agement. H has always been the pol
icy of t ho inanagemen tof the present
contest to state to contestants and the
public in general Munching about them
selves. The contest is being managed by
men who are thoroughly experienced in
this line of newspaper work and have
made it their business for several years,
giving it careful thought and consi-d
eration. They have carried through sev
eral successful contests, among them
being The Oakland Tribune, Oakland.
'nl.; the Sacramento Union, Sacra
mento, Cal.; Nevada State Journal,
Iteno, Xev.; Stockton Independent
Stockton, Cal.. and last, the $12,000
contest on the Mercury and Herald, San
Jose, Cal.
A Square Deal.
The managers of the contest wish
to assure each candidate who is en
tered for the valuable awards in the
Tribune's contest, a fair, square and
impartial deal, having no interest in
any of the contestants other than to
carry the contest through upon strictly
eonservaive, businesslike methods, and
that every vote will bo counted as cast
by a committee of business men of Med
ford, who will have charge of the final
counting and tabulation of tho votes..
It is felt due the contestants to
make this statement .since so many in
quiries have been received concerning
tho above.
I'pou the effort made today by ev
ery contestant depends the lucky win
ner of the lieo automobile.
Tomorrow is the last time that such
a chance to become the victor of a
hard-fought battle of ballots is given,
and the outcome of one of the most
exciting and interesting battles for su
preniacv is onlv conjectured.
The winner of the grand capital
award, as well as first holier in an
enterprise that b being closely followed
by thousands of jieople in Southern
Oregon, who have become interested
in the contestants, is a matter of
much concern, especially from the fact
that every one of the ladies entered
in the contest for the valuable awards
is popular and favorably known, not
only in her own district, but through
out the entire contest district.
Intense Interest.
Interest at this late day has become
intense, and every contsetaut gives
proof, through her untiring energy ami
work in the matter of turning in sub
scriptions and getting votes, that she
has her eve on the automobile.
Nearly all of the candidates since
they startetl in the contest have worked
hard and untiringly until now and feel
that they have done much to improve
their time while securing subscriptions
for the Tribune.
Quite a number of Indies have been
working early and alte getting votes
to increase their already large amount
of votes in the paper, and have at the
same time been quietly building up a
reserve fund to hurl at their competi
tors.
Be sure that you have a reserve that
will be in evidence from its size, be
cause inavbe it will be needed.
The standings that appear below are
the same as published in Thursday's
issue of the Tribune. Tho votes were
counted Wednesday, 7:30 p. m.
All votes that have already been is
sued must be in the ballot box by 10
o'clock tomorrow night. Although if
a contestant is in the office with her
subscriptions before 10 o'clock and she
cannot be waited upon at that time, she
will be allowed votes on her subscrip
tions, these votes to be cast as soon as
issued; for instance, if a contestant is
in hte office, turning in subscriptions
and receiving votes, although she is not
finished turning Jfei subscriptions by
10 o'clock, time will be allowod her in
which to finish; just so long as a con- Pass 18,407

A good-sized congregation greeted
Evangilist Van Marter last evening.
The preacher delivered an interesting
discourse based on I Kings 18:21. "How
long halt ye between two opinions."
The sermon was repleto with pathetic
incidents ami graphic portrayals. The
preacher showed that as there is a crisis
in national life and physical life, bo
there is a crisis iu the soul's life. A
man may so long resist the grace of
God that the Holv Spirit ceases to
strive, with him.
"There is a time, we know not when,
A place wo know not where,
That seals the destiny of men,
For glory or despair."

with 11 large family when he
counts up his household expenses
for the month. Perhaps if he

would n 't look so big; and per
haps if he traded with Miller &

the money su much. Why? Itc
canse a fellow doesu 't mind
parting with the coin when ho
