There have been many contests in San '
Antonio, but never one that could hold 1
a candle to our great affair. It is not
to be named on the same day with
any of the past. It will be the Texas
record breaker along this line. The I
class of the contestants engaged, the I
value of the prizes to be won and the j
short time allotted you to win. marks j
a new era in contests. Never was;
public interest so aroused over any-1
thing as over this contest and the in- I
terest now is nothing to what it will |
be. People in the highest walks of life ’
are vitally interested and taking a |
leading part in it. It's about all you i
can hear discussed both in public
places and private homes.
Its great success has been conceded I
by the whole people. There is a small;
army of contestants already on the ;
field of battle and they are being add- 1
cd to every hour. All the surrounding;
towns have contestants and you only i
have to cast your eye over the list of '
names and their votes to see the al- ■
most phenomenal interest being mani
fested on all sides. To be a grand j
prize winner in this contest will mean !
something worth while. The live wires !
know this and they are after the honor
and the reward as much as any general '
went forth to battle for. Whe right :
j«ople, the right prizes and the right ;
paper is a red hot combination. Watch I
the result.
Miss Loring’s Good Vote.
Miss Grace Loring, a popular em
ploye of the R. G. Dun Co., won the
San Antonio voting honors of Friday
and moves to third place in District
No. 4. She has strong support and
will poll a large vote. Next to Miss
Loring w«s Mrs. A. E. Carter,
owner of the Merchants’ Cafe on
West Houston street. The Car
ter contingent are strong and they
are in this contest to win. Next best
in the voting was a new entry, well
known and popular H. Y. Williams,
traveling passenger agent of the Santa ■
Fe. Thomas Kerr Jr. was next in line ।
and as a result takes first place : n |
District No. 2. Here is a youngster !
of class and a stayer. Mrs. I.ena Bra- .
den also received a good vote and takes ।
third place in District No. 2, She will I
be right in the thickest, of it all the
way as she has a large influential ac
quaintance. The first gun was fired for
Miss Nellie Lowday yesterday and it
will rally to .her support people
throughout the entire state. You can
safely say she will win a prize. Mrs.
Ora Dee Camp, another popular vote
getter, moves up the line many points
as a result of a good vote. Mrs. Gaz
iev was i here with good support. The
next best were John Hankla, Odjlia
Miller and Miss Gertrude Rehraut.
Ernest Clemens Gets Best Outside Vote
There was only three outside con
testants to receive any large votes
yesterday, Mr. Clemens of New Braun
fels, 10,000; Mrs. Harry Dean, of Eagle
Pass. 6500. and Miss Anna Achilles of
Austin 5000. These are three very live
ones.
Outside Nominations.
The out of San Antonio contestants
enrolled today are John W. Thompeon
of Laredo, Arthur S. Bergstrom and
Mrs. Leonard S. Talley of Austin.
Friday’s Nominations.
The San Antonio entries Friday
were: H. Y. Williams, Frances Fern
Hirsch. W. B. Adams, J. L. Harwell,
and Alfred E. Richey.
Hy Williams, the well known Santa
Fe passenger agent, will surely make
the best of them go some to take his
measure. He has thousands of friends
throughout the country. He comes from
a live place, and it is a striking coin
cidence that Mr. J. O. Bell, city ticket
•gent in the same office, won first
prize in the Light’s Fraternal Contest
in 1907. Watch out for the Santa Fe
Limited with Mr. Williams as the en
gineer.
Large Vote for Sunday.
There will be heavy firing today in
San Antonio’s greatest battle of bal
lots. and many startling changes of
places in Sunday’s vote announcement.
The contest has reached a stage when
there will be heavy voting and daily
changes. Interest is aroused over this
contest as over nothing ever recorded
here and the firing line will arouse
great enthusiasm of the public—it's
the kind of a voting contest the peo
ple want and as every reader of the
Light and Gazette is watching it with
keen interest contestants will all seek
to play a etar role very often.
White Steamer Announcement Sunday.
Sunday’s Light and Gazette will
contain the plan of awarding the
Grand Special Prize, the $2300 White
Steamer. The plan will meet with the
approval of every one even though it
is different from anything ever at
tempted in a contest —the perfect fair
ness of the award and the plan will
SATURDAY,
I not be questioned as it it going to be
so safeguarded that there will not be
any grounds for any adverse criticism
—it will be fair to every contestant in
all the eight districts, and will in no
wise affect the final result.
Have Your Votes in by 6 P M.
There is a lot of work counting
votes and recording them each day af
ter 6 p. tn. and you positively must
turn in your votes by 6 p. m. or they
will not be placed to your credit the
next day —you know the ndes and
please obey them. All your votes to
. appear to your credit in Sunday’s is
j sue must be in by 6 p. m. sharp today.
Put your free coupons in an envelope
or flat package with your name and
number of votes plainly written on the
envelope or package. Dou't bring any
rolled coupons in or the- will not be
counted for you.
Good Delivery Guaranteed.
You can promise every one who pays
you a subscription for the Light and
Gazette strictly first class delivery
service. This paper would not suggest
; this to you unless it was positively sure
, of giving quick, satisfactory service to
. all parts of the city. The large num
• ber of new subscribers being added
> daily demands more carriers and quick
! er service aud the occasion will be met
' to the satisfaction of every subscriber
j and you can positively assure them to
! that effect. New subscriptions will not
be started the same day you turn in
the names of subscribers but the next
। day. Make your returns daily as the
। subscribers want their papers to start
at once.
Don't Be a Quitter.
When you enter into any proposition
so food and inviting as this great prize
affair, show vour friends and the public
that you are game and propose to stay
in the race until the battle is lost or
won. Don’t get cold feet ami say “I
can't win” because some one has more
votes than you. Get real busy and pass
them in the voting. The vote east to
date has no bearing on the final resuk.
। The prizes are not awarded until the
। final count and your chances are as
1 good as the now leaders i you hustle
' and get all vour friends aud relatives
। busy and pile up a large vote. Resolve
J to win, and go out and do it—and he
। gin right now and keep at it to the
I end.
Not Too Late to Enter.
There will be nominations for weeks
' to come and it is more than probable
that some of the grand prize winners
are not as yet enrolled on the list.
While it is best to have an early start
and even break, it is never too late
for a live one to enter a popular con
test like this one. The contest man
ager recalls many grand prize winners
who entered in the middle of a contest
and won. Don’t let the vote cast *o
date deter yon as it’s very small in
comparison to the vote it will require
to win. The rewards are too great for
any one to hope to win with a small
vote. Come on in!
CONTEST COMMENT.
There will be a large vote cast to
day and many changes of positions
Sunday. Better take a flyer at the
voting yourself.
Work will soon lie started on the
Italian Villa and when completed yon
will see a real gem of an artist re. up
to-date home—it will be the finest
thing of its kind in San Antonio
worth working for? If you win it yon '
will be the most envied person in all
this section.
The announcement of the time and
plan of the White Steamer award will
be published in Sunday’s Light and
Gazette. Don’t fail to read it—it will
appeal to you.
It is a most remarkable fact that
the contestants are not wasting their
precious time fooling with the free
coupons. They are very wise in tins,
as it is only a waste of time to foo]
with such small game. It s the sub
scription votes you require to win and
every one seems to know it.
If your occupation or business stands
in your way of winning a prize, put a
substitute in your place and put in all
your time to make sure of winning.
The prize will be worth more than you
can earn at anything but a very high
salaried position—isn’t this the truth?
