INTEREST IN CONTEST IS AT TAINING WHITE HEAT STAGE Some Big Surprises in Store for Con testants—Saturday’s Vote Prom ises to Be Very Heavy. : x * # # =::• # * # # # # «= a #$ THE LEADER Anthony J.

With the contest nearly half gone and flic White Steamer to be won in a few days over three weeks things are reach ing a highly interesting stage and the whole territory covered by the contest is getting on edge and every one is tak ing part for their favorite contestant, 'i ue elans are lining up for a great bat tle and the uncertainty of picking the winner of any prize is growing. There are some mighty strong and influential contestants, both in and out of San Antonio and to attempt to predict the result is purely a guess. No doubt lots of wise (!) people have it ail doped out, but you will find before long that you don’t know quite as much as you thought you did. Many will “fall down” hard in seeking to compare this with some other contests that have taken place here in the past. There is absolutely no comparison and if you at tempt any comparison of votes, woe be unto your chances of winning. If you don’t'figure this thing out on a sensible ; business basis you will come to grief. Do a little thinking and prepare to go strong If you don’t the others will and] >ou will be very sorry. Don’t you un-1 der-estimate; it’s fatal. Mr. Mitchell Leads In Six. Mr. Henry Mitchell of Sabinal lead ; cos school girl, was next best in the front again in district six. He is always , <m the job and is going a fast gait and covering a wide territory in his cam paign. • Miss Vedena Hundley, the San Mar cos school girls, was next best in the outside district voting. The out-of- San Antonio contestants are sure to play a leading role in Saturday’s big “shake-up,’’ Best Vote For Miss Forestello. The San Antonio voting honors of Thursday went to Miss Josephine Fores tello and she moves to second place in the grand prize standing and not far away from the leader. She is working earnestly and faithfully and is certainly j one who will make a strong bid for a big prize. Mrs. Daisy A. Woodman was; second best voted for and assumes a | stronger position for n fine prize. Cap tain T. J. Dornstein of Hook & Ladder' Co. No. 2 and one of the best known ! firemen in San Antonio, received a good send off yesterday. He will get good support from the fire boys and the gen eral public. Leader Castanola received a good vote and holds the 21cad again today. He is in a commanding position and has' good support, but there are at least a half dozen others who are in the same, boat and they are after the White; Steamer with oven chances for success. । Misses Nellie Lowday nnd Adela Mil- • lor were the next in line.

This gives the Austin contestants an equal opportunity with the other contestants in District No. 7. This change is made under the conditions of contest ns fre quently published in this paper. This is a recognition of the fine work of the hustlers in that live* district. small army of contestants in the field iu San Antonio and most every one is getting good support and are in a cheerful, confident frame of mind and arc determined to stay with it until the wind-up. Entries Not All In. Several strong contestants are yet to | enter this great prize contest and will I aim at the very top of the pyramid of prizes. They have sized it up as the ’ best chance to win something strictly i worth while and are not a bit alarmed ' a* to the standing of contestants al ready in the race. All they want is : a chance and they realize that what has been done is nothing to deter the real live ones. The Contest Manager has had many Grand Prize Winners to enter j much later in a contest than this. Don't think this contest has reached a stage ’ where you can name any of the win- . ners. It’s very uncertain and anybody's! first prize. Good Picking Outside. It’s a very great mistake to think you cannot do a tine business in all the outlying towns for hundreds of miles. It does not matter-in the least whether; they have contestants represented there and it docs not matter whether you know a sou! in these towns. A good campaigner and a real hustler can get business anywhere on a newspaper of the class of the Light and Gazette. Don’t be afraid to go anywhere and ask every one for a subscription. It is often the case you can do better with I strangers than people you know. Go j anywhere nnd tackle everybody. CONTEST COMMENT. If you think you are going to win a good prize with anything less than a large vote it’s time you were coming out of such an unprofitable dream. Have you organized nil your friends and put. them to work for you? Don't wait until the last few days expect ing to set the world afire. The good general is one who plans and has all his supplies on the ground before a big ' fight. Never mind about what the other fel- 1 low is doing. Just you keep busy nnd 1 don't worry about any one else.
