Receipt books are being isbueu io muse wiiu nave sent m tneir nomination coupons and many have declared they would get started at once, so prospective candidates -who have failed to get in touch with the campaign manager should do so at once so that no time will be lost in getting started. The many valuable prizes to be given away, the exceedingly short time over which the campaign is to run, the ease with which subscrip tions to The News can be taken, and the extremely liberal rules of the campaign, all tend to stir the ambi tion of any energetic person. Just think a 1922 model automobile for gust a few short weeks' work. Spare time was never before offered such Inducements and any ambitious per son of this entire section may share in the distribution of the many valu able prizes. Now is the Time to Enter. There are several popular men and "women of this section who if they "would but try could easily turn their spare time into money, if they would enter this huge campaign. The period now on is the most important of the entire campaign, as more votes are allowed this week than will ever be allowed again. In addition to the reg ular schedule of votes, and the extra votes allowed on subscriptions turned in before June 24th, the manager is offering 50,000 extra votes for each tive subscriptions turned in up to and including next Saturday, June 10th. This offer will never again be repeat ed during the entire campaign, and those who get started now vv ill be the ones who stand the best chance of driving away in their own cars in just a few short weeks. Some of the prospective candidates do not thoroughly understand the rules governing the campaign. These are invited to call by The News office and talk the matter over with the campaign manager, as he is only too glad to explain all details to anyone interested. There is absolutely no obligation attached to sending in the nomination coupon, as anyone can "withdraw from the race at any time desired. Some of those who have thought of entering seem to think that it costs something to enter and try for the prizes. This is a mistake as the cam paign is free to anyone with ambi tion, who would like to win an auto mobile. One does hot even have to be a subscriber to this paper that's hGW liberal this campaign is. Those who have failed to send in their nominations should do so at once as each day lost at chis stage of the game makes the chances of win ning a capital prize just tmt much less. Don't wait for some of your friends to send in your name, bring it in yourself, and thus be sure that you won't lose any time. Turn to the full page announcement in this issue and glance over the $2500.00 in prizes, then clip the coupon, and the campaign manager will issue receipt books promptly so that no lime will be lost in getting started.

"Once votes are issued to a candidate they must remain issued to that can didate alone, and if the candidate withdraws from the race the votes are dead and can be transferred to no one." The young lady immediately an swered that was just what she want ed to know and that her husband ask ed her to call and see whether or not the campaign was to be conducted fairly and that now that she saw it was she was determined to give some one a hot race for one of the cars.

Vote (By United Press.) Des Moines, June 7. Smith Brook hart was nominated the republican candidate for United States senator in the Iowa race by receiving more than 40 per cent of the votes cast. state highway commission. This be lief was strengthened by a recent visit of the chairman of the board and one of the board's attorneys to Chairman Page of the state highway commission, to ask the commission to locate the Henderson county road and decide what type of hard surface road should be built at Henderson county's expense. The request was refused point-blank by Mr. Page, it is stated, and because of the hands-off policy thus shown, the commissioners felt free to decide these matters for them selves, a construction which seemed to be confirmed in the attitude of Commissioner McBee during his re cent visit to Hendersonville. But contrary to this policy, a recent communication from Chairman Page to W. A. Smith, counsel for one of the contending factions, in reference to the location of the road to the Bun combe county line, the state highway commission, the attorneys stated, made it plain that the county commis sioners would be given no free hand at all, but that the commission would retain its full powers in reference to the road in question. . The action of the board was de cisive, ordering that all propositions heretofore made in reference to the matter be dismissed "as subject mat ters entirely outside the jurisdiction and authority" of the board.
