IDA HURLEY IS LEADER AGAIN

In Democrat’s Piano Race With lizzie Wiseman Second MARIBEL KAYS STILL THIRD Leaders Are See-Sawing Among Themselves to See Who Will Set the Pace—Other Contestants Coming Fast. Ida Hurley of Parr, who was leader a week ago, is back in first place in the piano race with Lizzie Wiseman dropping back to second, and Maribel Kays remaining third. In the last three issues of The Democrat each of these candidates has been in the lead, and the'closeness of the race among them as to which shall set the pace can readily be seen by the way they see-saw back and forth in the top position. That the leaders are .not only crowding one another, but many of those who have heretofore been content to follow another’s lead have decided it is time to hustle, evidenced by the way th? others are to the front.

Wood, General Merchandise, Parr Aix Store, General Merchandise, Air Whited’s General Store, Wheatfield ‘ Reed’s General Store, Virgie While new subscriptions and renewals count most and fastest, the free voting certificates given by merchants with each cash purchase should not be overlooked. Candidates should urge their friends to ask for them with each purchase at the stores handling them. They cost the purchaser not one penny and are an essential help to the candidates for whom they are voted. Be sure to sign all certificates and coupons before handing~tfiem in. I Contestants should .remember the green 5c free certificates good for 1,000 votes are limited to one to each candidate. In other words, each candidate gets one of those certificates when her name is first placed in the con-

test, and she is credited with 1,000 votes, but no candidate can vote more than one of these certificates. Each contestant in the race has been credited with one of these coupons and it will save time and trouble if, in the future, candidates will refrain from sending in these coupons.
