ASSOCIATED ' PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXV THE BBT HITE PERIOD WILL EtID SATUfffIT NIGHT Don’t Let Your Standing Be Weakened When the Last Period of the Cam paign Begins.„ THE LARGEST VOTE NOW IN CAMPAIGN After 12 O’Clock Saturday Night the Smallest Vote Schedule in Entire Con test Will Apply. At the strike of twelve - o'eloek to v, morrow night the largest vote-; on the regular prizes iu -The Tribune-Time* campaign and the 'double value points toward the Ford Coupe special prize will he gone forever. After tlmt hour the smallest schedule of votes of the entire contest, together with a cut of one-half in points of the extra prize automobile, will' eoine into ef fect and it will mean that much more subscription business will have to be! obtained to> get the same credit in | •votes ami points as will be given up to the closing hour of the third period tomorrow night. From ail appearances candidates seem to fully appreciate this condi tion and each one "is now striving to place himself or herself in a com manding position pending the brief time that all business will he deposit ed in a locked and sealed ballot box up to and including the actual end of the entire campaign on Saturday night, November 21, at 10 o’clock. Too much stress cannot be laid on the im ■ portinee „f the end cf this third pe riod, perhaps not so much for the benefit of the live workers, but more for tlie understanding of the public who have not yet given their subscrip tion business to anyone in the cam paign or who still intend extending the r support to an even greater ex tent to their fnvorite in the race. Get Extensions Now. In this connection it should be un derstood by both candidates and their supporters, that extension subscrip tions do hot count any added votes ov er the straight schedule in the fourth ami last period, but will count staple votes according to the table of v»>tcs for rliv frorrftr JafrtotU “Hence, a second year before tomorrow night from a new subscriber at any time during the campaign, will count 17,- 000 votes for the candidate, while in the fourth period the same subscrip tion would amount to onljvs,ooo votes, not quite one-third of what they now are. These figures should forci bly demonstrate what we mean by the value of extensions in this third pe riod. Howevef. we might go further and state vote figures on any possible extensions of the last four years from seme new subscriber who has already taken tlje paper during the campaign for one year. That four-year exten sion by tomorrow night would count 104,000 votes. In the fourth period it would credit the candidate with on ly 75,000. So now is the time to get in your extensions, not in the last week. We feel that we would be negligent in our duty toward candidates if we did not point out these things, for they might be overlooked otherwise until too late. The explanation is as fa:- as we can 150, however. It is up to the alert worker to act'upon these things and overlook nothiug that may contribute toward the ownership of ■ the s2llO Buicjt Brougham, or the $lOlO Studebaker Special Stix Du plex-Phaeton. the $1:13(5 Hudson | $O2l Ford Coupe, or any of the three | S2OO cash prizes or the three awards f of SIOO in cash. It is *ell to remem [ bev at all times just what you have [ been and are still working for. The L prizes are big automobiles aid cash. To f win the one of your choice at the end I of this third period, at 12 o'clock to morrow night, will make the final period of one week a very simple proposition. But to be weak at the start of the last week will mean that you have your work cut out for you i in the final hours. Mayor of Sofia Assassinated.
