DO YOU WANT
TO WIN TWO CARS?
The Third Period Now On
and Present Vote Sched
ule Will Close Satur
day Night.
Together with the announcement o{
the special prize of the $621 Ford
Coupe during the third nnd fourth
periods of The Tribune and Times
campaign. and the advent of the next
to the lowest vote schedule of the en
tire contest, the most determined ef
forts in the big race for the beautiful
motor ears and the stacks of gold and
silver that are soon to be awarded
have been launched. With huge waves
of determination, gripping the aspir
ants for the big prizes, the business
is increasing in volume.
Enthusiasm of tile candidates has
spread to their friend* and acquaint
ances. In many sections of the city
and surrounding territory a great
amount of “neighborhood pride" is
being shown and great effort is being
made to have one of the biggest of the
prizes won by the favorite contestant
of each community.
Many candidate* who call at the
election department are expressing
new determination to put forth their
he«t efforts during this important pe
riod when it is possible to win, not
only one, but two Acs. Letters from
candidates in the outside districts and
their friends filled with the same sort
of enthusiasm, makes one believe that
the remaipder of the race will be
mare spirited and exceedingly close.
Up until Saturday night, November
14. every new five-year subscription
to The Tribune counts a total of 175.-
1)00 votes. Just live 'of these would
be as well as 15 points toward win
ning the Ford Coupe special prize in
addition. Just live of these would be
nearly 1,000.000 votes.
The third period is now on arid
the present vote schedule will be in
effect until Saturday night. November
14 when the schedule is very sharply
reduced to the lowest vote schedule of
the entire campaign which is effect
ive in the finnl period.
The longer you delay in getting in
full swing the less valuable your sub
scription will be from a vote stand
point. And that is what you are af
ter —votes—or yon should be after if
you expect to be one of the b g prize
winners. The gifts are to be distrih
uted to those who deserve them—to
those who mnke the best records in the
vote column. "Wishes" won't get;
anywhere in this but the
vote producers will be lumdsomely re
warded in accordance with the effort
put forth. This is a campaign of
"live ones."
The race in. the first and second pe
riods was truly a neck-anrfneek affair
and is attracting attention all over
this territory. It is interesting to
see which of the several contender
prove themselves the most popular in
the list—-the owners of the five big
cars.
Second payments on subscriptions
taken early in the campaign are
proving an important factor in the
race just now. Those contestants wh
are working on these are profiting
mightily.

BABY’S SUIT i FOR FORD
CAR HOTLY CONTESTED
Whole Trouble Arose When Three-
Year-old Won Automobile at Land 1
Sale.
Raleigh, Nov. 3.—Howard Patton,
infant plaintiff suing t’he three Heaths
for a $326.25 Ford, was in the Su
preme Court today in quite an argu
ment in which Judge R. ('. Strudwiek 1
stood up for three-year-old's right to
the flivver and Andy Joyner. Jr.-' and
E. I) Kuykendall bucked him.
The issues are not many. There
was a land sale at which the baby
was one among the 2.000 or more
present. Undoubtedly the brass band
was there and of cojirse the machine
was given away. When a paper writ
ing was handed out; the infant's name
checked. But he coil'd not go up
and claim the prize. This had to
be done for him. Judge Strudwiek
tells how the advertising was done
by John. Cecil and Tnl Heath.
“Come and be our guest whether you
bijy or not,” the invitation reads.
“Take a ctianee at the Ford to be
given away absolutely free. All you
have to do is to be on the grounds
when the sale starts, and, stay there
Until the sale closes. We guarantee
a square deal to every one.”

VALENTINO ON PROBATION »
He Has Not Made Good. Says Wife,
• Still Adamant.
Paris, Nov. 3.—ls the* modern
young woman of the fashionable set
stronger minded than man? SuiHi
is the question now -becoming the
topic of Paris because of two intense
ly limoon cases in which prominent
voting matrons —Mrs. Rudolph Valen
tino and Mrs. Charles Nnngseer—are
proving- adamant against the entrea
ties of their husbands to call off their
“marriage vacations.”
Although softened by a few weeks
<-f separation, Mrs. Valentino recent
ly decided fa let bygones he bygone*,
but she has now changed her mind
and declares to sfiorten by one day
the delay she set before agueeing to
a full reconciliation.
"1 gave Rudolph one year to make
good. He hasn’t yet, so he must
wait.” confided Mrs. Valentino to a
friend last week on arriving here.
Thus, the big welcoming party
which Valentino had joyously planned
to take place in Los Angeles to solem
nize his wife's return to Hollywood
this month must be indefinitely post
poned, while Rudolph is doomed to
ten wore months of bachelor life.
Mrs. Valentino will sail tomorrow
on the Leviathan, but her journey
will end in New York, where her
mother. Mrs. Iludmit, who accom
panies her, will remain long enough
to sec* her daughter comfortably in
stalled in her Park Avenue apart
ment.
Running somewhat parallel with
the Valentino ease is the story of
Cnnsnelo Hatmaker, who was mar
ried a year ago to the famous ace,
Nuugesser. She recently decided on
I a marriage vacation because her avia
| tor husband would not givei up work
I to life a Rfe of luxurious f&aaure on
her ntillions.,
Three weeks of separation were ap
parently encugh to melt the heart of
the war hero. But not h{* bride's.

UP) —The Democrats swept to vie
, tory yesterday in the New Jersey
gubernatorial race, and the New York
City election.
In loss spectacular contests, the Re
puhlicans elected a mayor of Boston
for the first time since 1907: won !
hands down in Pennsylvania state I
and municipal elections; i-egained,cou-1
trot of the municipal machinery in
a number of Indiana cities, and
narently had elected a mayor of Louis- ]

In tile only two congressional con-;
tests each party held its own. the
Republicans retaining control of the
third New Jersey district, and the
Democrats remaining successful in the
third Kentucky district.
Virginia, the only state besides New
Jersey to elect a governor, voted a j
straight Democratic slate into office, i;
John M. I’urcell winning out for the j
state treasurer over John D. Bns- j ’
sett. Republican, in a contest that |
attracted much more than usual at- 1
tention because Purcell’s affiliation j
with tfie Catholic Church was brought |
into the campaign. j
The Ku Klux Klan became the chief
issue in the non-partisan mayorality 1
election in Detroit, with Mayor John 1
W. Smith apparently returned a vie- 1
tor over Charles Cowles, the Klan 1

sue in the New Jersey gubernatorial! 1
race, but in the victory of A. Harry j 1
Moore, Democrat, over State Senator 1

i than 1,000,000 votes oast. With *
Walker the Democrats elected all five

four district attorneys, and a long j
list of lesser officials.
With ten candidate, seven Demo- i
- crats and three Republicans running |
in the Boston non-partisan election, j
Malcolm E. Nichols, Republican, was
i elected mayor of that city. Tile main !
Democratic vote was divided between
Theodore A. Glynn, who had the back
