It was said today that a canvass of

"Do you friends and fellow cltlsens

Both'Clalm Women's Tote.
Both sides claim a majority of the
newly enfranchised women's votes and
one fact Is certain that virtually the
entire vote, men and women, will be
polled. Both Socialists and Good Gov
ernment organizations have conducted
special schools for women voters teach
ing them how to cast their votes.
Advices were sent from headquarters
today to workers, asking them to as
sist th women voters at th polls. In
order to avoid confusion and to assure
them that there would be no annoy
ance In casting their ballots. It was
urged that women vote between the
hours of 8 and 11 o'clock In the morn
ing, that they have a clear pathway to
the ballot box.
The Socialists held enthusiastic ral
lies today, bnt th Alexander forces
were quiet.
Opponents of the Socialists are mak
ing a strong point of th character of
men chosen to bear the standard of
Socialism. They declare that Job Har
riman. who heads the ticket, moved to
Los Angeles from San Gabriel only last
July to acquire cltlsenshlp, and that he
was nominated before he became a
resident of Los Angeles. It Is re
marked that he pays taxes on only

Why Is it Done?
As has been stated, during the past
year Graves Music Company has sold
three times as many pianos as daring
the year before. During the coming
year this record is to be doubled.
A modern piano business must be
continually advertised.
Pianos from Graves Music Company
last a lifetime. New buyers must be
found, therefore when so many new
families come to the state almost
daily, it is necessary for an institu
tion such as ours to keep constantly
before the public We want to deter
mine where it pays best to advertise.
We are willing to pay money to find
this out. Thus we publish the adver
tising test certificate herein which
calls for $40. It is good for so much
actual cash, and will be accepted by
us as the first payment for any piano
in stock. We have marked down all
our pianos. Nothing reserved a gen
uine price-reduction sale.
Select your piano, present your cou
pon and hava a fine piano sent home
at once.
But even this is not nil the induce
ments we now offer. If you choose
to pay cash, in addition to the cou
pon, when you select your piano; we
pay a premium of SI for every dollar
(hat you pay.
Remember, the Bale is now in prog
ress. If you have no piano, come right
away.
If you wish to .order by mail, we
assure you that we will make most
careful and painstaking selection. We
ship instruments subject to examina
tion -and trial. All money that has
been paid for the instrument will be
refunded if on receipt of same it is
not found in every way satisfactory
and as represented.
