Tho yncertamty has stimulated every candidate to increase her vote by every ballot possible, for each has realized that hor rival was doing tho very same thing. TWe battle of the ballots has been waged at a heart breaking pace these last few days. Of course there will be surprises and disappointments when the re sult is annouueed. Who knows how many "dark horses," to use an apt political term, may forge to the front as a result of tho final hours of balloting today? Some fair con testant may lose the coveted prize by just a few votes, and some may win by as small a margin. Each candidate should work .today so that, If defeated, she will have no regrets over a failure to take ad vantage of an opportunity to win. She should be able to say that she did her very best, and that was all she could do. The Prizes The Capital Prize One 1910 Ford Five Passenger Automobile, 20 horsepower, 4 cylinder, full equip ment.

A great many people do not un derstand and for their information wo wish to say that anyone starting to take the paper since the contest started will always; be considered a new subscriber during the Hie of tho contest and votes given accordingly. If you start the paper now and pay more later during the contest you will! still be considered a new sub scriber and votes will be issued ac cordingly. Open Evenings.

Candidates that have takon sub scriptions for one, two or threj months at the beginning of the con test should got these subscribers to pay tho rest of the year as they aro still considered new. For example a person who sub scribed for the paper and nald 50 cents received 700 votes, by KettlnK them to pay $.50 more you will b given l&.ooo votes less-tho 700 votes you have already received on tho 50 cent payment, or 14,300 votes on $6.50 payment. This ruling also ap plies to any second payment you may secure. The price by mall and at suburban stores is $4.00 per year, and this rule will also apply on this vote. But in all cases six months or more must bo added to entitle you to tho second payment. The new months will not count in on the special offer now In vocub. When turning in such payment, kindly mark your stub "second pay ment." - Do Not Forget This How to Cast Votes Now. All votes and remittances mailed up to Thursday night can bo mailed in tho usual way. Every letter mailed after this timo to - the con test department should be sent by Bpeclal delivery.
