TRIP CONTEST ENDS TONIGHT

And Result Will Be Announced in Wednesday's Issue GET ALL VOTES IN TODAY As No Votes Can be Accepted After 10 P. M., Saturday, Dec. 3.—One Full Day Yet to Secure Votes—Result Will Be Announced In ' Wednesday's Democrat. A

The Democrat’s eastern tour contest ends to-night at 10 p. m. Candidates have one full day yet to secure votes and they should improve every hour. A thousand votes—one year’s subscription—may mean the winning of the contest in each district, for it is going to be quite dose from present indications between some of the candidates from each one of the three districts. We do not know how close, for we do not know how many votes the candi-

dates have to cast to-day, that they are holding back for the last day. A thousand votes might make all the difference in the world with them and each one should strive tp secure as many as possible. While the New York City trip is, of course, the big grand prize, there are two others in each district, and while it is true that all the candidates can not win, three from each district can, and you may be one of those three, even for the grand New York tour. Someone is going to win, and while we wish we could send every candidate on the trip, of course this cannot be done—only one from each district can be sent. But the Chicago trip and the five dollar gold pieces—making three prizes in all from each dis-trict-ore “not to be sneezed at,” and; if you do not win the eastern tour you can put forth a little extra effort ..and win one of these.

The closing days are the ones that count, and a spurt on the “home stretch” may out-distance all other candidates. No partiality can be or will be shown any candidates—the ones who have the most votes will win the plums. The Democrat guarantees to make the prizes good and assures tach can di late an honest count and no favors. Remember the result will be announced in next Wednesday’s Democrat and" the vote of each candidate given. Watch for it.
