The final week of the campaign,
ulna balloting was blind, saw many
iiu-iubvrs lending every etl'ort to '
gain the main objectives ? the Durniit
Car and the otiier prizes ? offered as
the chief prizes.
Tliat unusual interest was taken
in tin- outcome ot' the big battle ol
ballots was evident from the mim-j
bir of telephone inquiries. 1
early Saturday evening until

able. Rivalry was intense. hut friend
ly, and the Journal feels assured '
that the successful ones merited tfiej
prizes tor which they so earnestly :
st rived.
The number of credits turned i's ?
by the Club Members and their'
friends was fairly staggering, aiirJ
when the committee of judges met,
to undertake the task of counting
theia u would have been discourag
inuly laborious but for the keen in
tercest they felt in the success of the

Saturday night it lie committee of

*as thrown on the box. Some of the
Club members in their eagerness the
last few moments of feverish bal
Joting jiKt managed to get their col
leetuiiij, deposited whan the call o!

The box was opened with- the can

t^TlTLKI) TO SUCCESS?
~~~ I h" aggregate credits of the prize
dinners reached enormous figures
?'* published above. The winners of
the prizes are well entitled to
?M!C(e..>; they demonstrated coil
c UsiVl'!.v that energy and persistency
*?e !he lMitcnt factors in any game
.9* life. In distributing the many
? ? / ' \
lection proved admirable and
hundreds of dollars in awards anion?
the successful Club Members the
Journal gives full ?value for their ef
forts in its behalf yet the intrinsic
value of the. awards is not the only
consideration. In the pursuance of
their individual campaigns for cred
its t hey have learned niueh in the
art of salesmanship that will be of
ureal benelit ti> tljetu in the future
?veal-. Tiiey luive made many new
uid pleasant acquaintances. Many
formed new ideas a Ion? busine ss
lines, and most of them haveulevel
oped a keen sense of observation
that will pay many a future divi
dend. The competition in this race
wii: n splendid training aiid a valua
ble experience lor all who participate
x*d in it. lt(.latiglil that courage is
lies" -.rry to overcome the many ob
stacles that be.M't the never ending
, cull diet called "life."
Of cr urse il is inevitable thai' ii.
any campaign that all cannot, win
the big prizes ? Club Members un
derstood that when they entered.
Ifight or wrong, civilization seems to
have accepted and applied nature's
rule of the "siirv'v; I of the. Uttest."
To accomplish a' gi\;u purjiosc soilte
elfart is necessnrv and fortune seems
A
to .lavish her richc t gil ts upon those
who are equipped with energy, sulli
cient to carry out the mandate of
ambition. Yet to the Club Members
who worked so energetically during
the campaign but failed to win, the
Journal extends its genuine regrets.
Were it possible, it would gladly re
member all club, . members with a
touring car. If, the thanks of the
Journal can in a measure lessen the
regret of the Capital prize loser it is
theirs The Journal appreciates the
kindly feeling and good will of every
Club Member that entered the race,
whether they have 10,000 credits or
one hundred times 10,000. There is a
wholesome Satisfaction in the
thought that we try for a goal and
miss ? our efforts were honestly put
forth. x ,
To those whose cn'ergy has carried
them through the campaign to the
successful winning of the prize auto
mobile the Journal extends its heart
iest congratulations. It is proud of
the club members who have made
this campaign a remarkable success,
and the Journal hopes that every
Club member who takes possession
of their prizes won by them by right
of conquest, will in turn be proud of
their award.
We have dealt with ladies and
gentlemen. Our relations have been
pleasant throughout. They have in
turn dealt with an institution which
to the best of its ability made the
campaign one long to be remembered
for its wholesome and straight cliar
afeter.

It was. a great race and it left in
bold relief the possibilities of that
greatest of all virtues ? AMBITION.
