K. P’S STILL AHEAD

And Lead Mt. Hope By Fifty Votes. IN THE DEMOCRATS PIANO CONTEST Several Contestants Make Considerable Gains This Week and Interest Increases. While several organizations have made decided gains in The Democrat’s Popularity contest during the week, the Remington K. P. lodge still heads the list, with Mt. Hope Methodist Protestant church a close second, and Parr Baptist church third.In order to announce the name of the fortunate winner of this elegant instrument in its issue of Dec. 24, 1905, The Democrat has decided to close the contest promptly at six o’clock on the evening of Dec. 21, and after that no votes will be received. Contestants will therefore govern themselves accordingly, and see that every vote is in before that hour. Remember this and do not delay the matter of getting in every vote for your organization that you possibly can, and before 6 o'clock, p. m., Dec. 21, 1905. The vote at the hour of going to press stood as follows: Remington K. of P. Lodge MO Mt. Hope Church, Jordan tp "90 Parr Baptist Church 305 Rensselaer Court. C.

E. Church 20 Shoshone Tribe, I. O. R. M. (Gifford) 20 If you are not already a subscriber to The Democrat it behooves you to get in line and become one, and thus help the organization of your choice to secure this valuable instrument. Don’t be discouraged if your choice happens to be well down in the list of contestants, for a little persona leffort on the part of a few of its friends would soon roll up dozens of new subscriptions and place it to the head and win the prize, and it is a prize, indeed, one that any organization may well feel proud to own. During the next few weeks we expect several hundred new votes and we ask that all be sent in as fast as received that we may give them the proper credit and show the standing of the candidates in our list, which will be published each issue for a few weeks yet at least. All votes are being carefully filed away and will be counted at the end of the contest by a disinterested committee of three who will award the piano to the contestant receiving the greatest number of votes. In the event of a tie for the prize offered the value thereof will be equally divided between the organizations so tying.
