fairness to the minutest degree.

will be declared closed. The judges will break
the seals, umock the box and immediately
thereafter, or as soon as votes can be issued
on subscriptions contained therein, the last
count will begin. The winners will be de
termined by merely adding the published
vote totals which will appear for the last time
in Tuesday’s issue of The Tribune to reserve
votes and those contained in the ballot box.
There will be no waiting; no complicated

fied Check for the full amount to cover. Personal checks up to S3O are acceptable, provided no two
