I ONE KIIIS 10 WON THE
SPECIAL VOTES MEN YESTERDAY
WATCH THE PAPER EACH DAY FOR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
DON'T LET ANY OPPORTUNITY TO GET VOTES PASS YOU
FIRST AND SECOND DISTRICTS ARE EVEN FINISH OF CON-
TESTS OFTEN VERY CLOSE YESTERDAY WAS THE BIG CON-'
TEST DAY THE CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN MAKING GOOD RE
TURNS FOR THEIR WORK.
Who won those free votes yester
day? This question wKl be asked a
thousand times and for the life of
us we couldn't even guess as it
would take some careful counting
to determine who they were. But
one thing we know and that is, It
was a very close race
Watch the paper eacn day, as we
xpect to make some more announce
ments that will ibe very Important
to all of the contestants and they
don't want to let any opportunity
of securing extra votes go bv.
Some people have asked us what
chance the country candidates had
against those in Ardmore. The
country candidate really has the bet
ter chance for they are acquainted
with every one in their town and
each town has a certain amount of
pride and they would like (to see the
candidate who is representing them
In the contest, win the first prize.
Any outside town, if they made up
their mind ithey were going to see
their candidate through, could win
any of the prizes they desired. An
other thing: Ardmore has as in amy
candidates, according to tfhe -population,
as any of the towns outside, so
you see it is really about even. The
outside candidates are not working
against those in town, oniiy for the
automobile.
The finish of tiho contest Is often
so close that only a few votes sep
arate the leaders. Hhe Contest Man
ager has seen where a dollar sub
scription would have turned defeat
to victory and won the automobile.
A few minutes work could have se
cured that, so do not take any
chances, hut keep busy every min
tite that you can.

MAYOR
Commissioner DaWSOn Addressed to
quiries is the story In mina'ture of
the great contest yesterday. That
the candidates have been working
.hard the last few days is a sign a
good many of them are determined
to win.
Who do you think will be the win
ner? IXo doubt we hear that ques
tion a hundred times a day, but it is
as much of a mystery to us as it is
to anyone else. No one knows how
many votes the different candidates
have hut they themselves and they
are not going to give that away if
thy can help it. Any one ihas a
perfect right to hold their vo'.es
back until the judges are ready to
take charge of the counting, alii that
we require them to do is to turn In
the money so the paper can be start
ed. Those who wish to help some fav
orite in the contest will do well to
give their subscription as early as
possible and if you wish you can
take out subscription: at this office
and we will either give you the votes
and you can hand them to the con
testant or we will place them to the
credit of r.ne candlme you wish t!
vote for.
