OTHER PRIZES : j- NOT AFFECTED I | Person Winping Grand Prize Is Also Eligible to Win the Ford Which Is Third Period Prize. | A furor of renewed determination on the part of candidates in The Tribune and Times SIO,OOO campaign, brought about by the aunonneement of the generous offer of tile special prize of- the $O2l Ford eotipe for the third and last periods of the easi test, has taken a hold and prepared a'.l competitors to make an even more Intensive effort for the prizes than has yet been evidenced, if fiat is pos sible. With any candidate now standing to win two, instead of one. automobile, enthusiasm is at fever poipt with each one ready for a driv ing finish of the coining three weeks. Snob tremendous enthusiasm and energy was never before seen in any kind of campaign as i.s being shown dajly in this race for the automobiles and cash prizes. There seems to be no limit to tbe pep that every can didate has stored up for the finish which is but a few days* away. The contestant* who have formerly been the hardest workers are still going at it as if they had saved up all their energy for the big finish. T'.iis in dicates that every single contestant in the lint has plenty of tight left. It also shows that the candidates who look ‘ ’.larniless" now will be among the strong when t’.ie end comes. They are all walking the other fellow and arranging and planning to go them all one better. Now that the second period votes bavf been counted and leaders are still closely, bunched and considering how easy it is to pile up a big vote reserve during the week, there is com paratively little difference between the big-nest and lowest scores.

If the present leaders aTe figuring thht their leads’ they l ate due for disappointment when tiie vviu ners are amtortm-ed. With such afield of energetic workers, if is certain that' some oj; tbe most spectacular work of the contest is yet to come. The (“Never Say Die” spirit 1 ' ttafc' 'fitVer more in evidence at any p'tlier time than it is right now. Big Vote This Period. This period every one-year sub scription counts 6,000 votes, a two year subscription counts 18.000 votes, three-year subscription counts 45.000 votes —a five-year new subscription without clubs credits' you 175,000 New Subscriptions this period carry a bonus vote cf 5,000 per year just 5,000. more than will be given next week. Just a mere handful of long-term subscriptions will be sufficient to put the candidate with the lowest score at tbe very top of the standings be fore Saturday night, November 14th. Big Campaign Soon Closes. On Saturday night, November 21, the big list of prizes will be awarded to Cabarrus county’s best hustlers. The automobiles and large cash awards will be distributed just as announced at the beginning of the campaign.

Election headquarters are open each evening until 9 o'clock. Candi dates who wish advice should make it a point to call at this office to have their questions answered and all are invited to consult the eleettion man ager on matters pertaining to the contest. Remember, this is the last week to secure extension votes, t The keenest and most vigorous kind of work is necessary from now on if you hope to be declared oue of the big prize winners. There’s no other way to win except by the hardest kind of work every minute of the time during tbe remaining few days of the contest. It will behoove some candidates who have been more or less confident of their place in the vote score to do some' real work these next ten days. Better be safe than sorry. No one has any lease on anything right now. Do a little work this week and you will not have to cttll an Alibi Ike when it is all over. jt- Griffith Denies Perklnpangh Deal.
