HERES THE LIST OF CONTESTANTS

To Datoforthe DBmoerat’ss3so Piano and Other Prizes TO BE GIVEN AWAY DEC. 23 Standing of Each at 10 O’Clock Yesterday Is Given, But This May Be Materially Changed at Any Moment, When the Lowest Candidate May Forge to the Front. The interest shown in The Democrat’s piano contest is the greatest of any contest we have ever run, at so early a stage, and it promises to be closely contested for by a live lot of candidates from all parts of the county. - The prize offered is certainly worth all the effort that can be put forth, and even though you should not be one to receive the piano—for it can go to but one —either of the other two prizes are worth striving hard for. The list of candidates registered up to yesterday morning appears herewith for the first time, and there will be more to follow, as it is seldom too

late to get started in a contest of this kind, providing one does not wait until it is over. A few new subscriptions at 3,000 votes for each year paid, or renewals at 1,500 votes for each year paid in advance, will put a new candidate at the head of the list, and the same may be said of those who have but few votes in this list. Following is the list of candidates and their standings: Mildred Bush, Rensselaer R-3.11,190 Ethel M Fisher, Rensselaer.. 10,715 Mari bell Kays, Rensselaer... 10,390 Arkana Ritchey, Remington R-3 7,375 Lizzie Wiseman, Virgie 5,930 Fairy Pollard, Rensselaer R-4 4,035 May Shook, Knlmaii. .. ... . . 2,860 Lucy Morgenegg, Rensselaer R-l 1,975 Bessie McElfresh, Rensselaer R-l 3,025 Ruth E Bull, Rensselaer.... 1,440 Bernice G Yeoman, Rensselaer, R-2 1,270 Anna Marion, Parr. ........ 1,165 Lucy Fulks, Remington R-4. 1,100 Mary Gaunt, Remington R-3. 1,075 Aria Lyons, Rensselaer. ..... 1,025 Ida Hurley, Parr. ~ • • • • 1»910 Edna Ward, Rensselaer, K-4. 1,005 Myrtle Leavel, Rensselaer. . . 1,005 Mary Potts, Rensselaer 1,005 Victoria -Marsh, Rensselaer R-3 . . . . 1,005 Cora Simons, Rensselaer. . . . 1,000 Hazel Shumaker, Rensselaer R-4 1,000 Remember that the merchants whose names appear herewith, and in the big ad elsewhere, give certificates good for votes with each cash purchase at their respective stores —a one dollar purchase, 100 votes, etc. —one vote for each cent of the purchase.

While candidates may enter the race for some time yet and still stand a good show of winning out, depending on the amount of hustling done, it is better to get in the race early and then let your friends know that you are after this fine piano, then they will assist you by subscriptions and in saving their cash purchase certificates and coupons for you.
