THE AWARD
On Tuesday August IS the ballots will
be submitted to a committee of three citi
zens for verification and count and upon
heir decision the award will bo made and
the announcement published and sent to
the winner
TO VOTERS IN THIS CONTEST
As the voters can plainly see a great deal
of space is consumed in recording the votes
in this contest and much of this expense to
TnE GiZETTD is unnecessary to the main
purpose in hand which is to vote and have
it recorded In view of this fact The Ga
zette is compelled to limit the space occu
pied by voters
In recording votes hereafter for Fort
Worth candidates already announced not
more than seven lines or rifty words exclu
sive of date aditrcss and signature will bo
allowed to cny ono letter Should new can
didates be announced more space will be
allowed for a fair presentation of such can
didates claims and qualifications
For outoftown candidates moro space to
each letter will be allowed as not so many
batches of votes are sent in for these as for
town candidates
Matter written on both sides of tho paper
will not be published but a notice will bo
mado of such letter Tub Gazette has uo
tiino to cojiy letters for the printer sicco
the voting ha3 becomo so heavy
In all letters be sure to mention the nanif
o tin camltilate and tha numlxr of rotes in
closen The Gazette understands the
nicknames given by the friends of the
candidates to their favorites but the com
mittee may question the right of Tue Ga
zette to be guided by these popular names
The ballots are ill recounted by The Ga
zette and all mistakes corrected in the
official tally sheet One gentleman votid
seventytwo ballots and iuclosed only thirty
coupons the other fortytwo being mere
slips of paper he having cut through other
slices than tho one containing the coupon
Sometimes the voto is one or more coujions
over or under tho claim made in tho letter
The exact number 6f coupons in the euve
loj > e go down on tho tally sheet
Allusions to other candidates direct or
indirect will be exjiungcd from all letters
and no criticisms or comments will be al
lowed
An observance of the above will greatly
facilitate tho onerous work of supervision
and record and voters cin still further
facilitate the work by writing the name of
the candidate and the number of votes in
closed on the envolopc and by beginning
their letters not less than one inch from the
top of the page
