All candidates, or a representative,
must be in the Frontier office at nine
o’clock Saturday night—ample time
will be given contestants to prepare
their linal lists, if they have not had
time to do so before coming to the
office.
llallots due on final lists will be is
sued by the contest manager, which
will he deposited in the ballot box by
candidate or her represenative, and
just as soon as the lists are completed
tlie box will he opened by I he judges
and filial count of the ballots male us

Three disinterested partiis, S. J.
Weeks, of the O’Neill National bank,
J. F. O’Donnal, of ttie -NebraskaState
bank, and J. F. Gallagher of the
First National bank, will act ,as
Gie judges.
All votes in the oallot box from the'
beginning of the contest up to Wed
nesday night have been counted and
recounted by the contest manager and
the standings ou votes in the ballot
box at that time are shown above.
The judges will count all votes in
tire ballot box since above count, add
their count to that of the contest
manager up to Wednesday night as
shown herewith, which will give the
total vote aud determine the winner
of the automobile.
The count published here has been
gone over carefully—a count and re
count of all voles in the box from the
beginning of the contest up to Wed
nesday night having been made—and
this method of making complete count
will save considerable time and the
result will be arrived at quickley and
on the same night the contest closes.
While we have every reason to be
.Wvetbat tiie count shown above is.
accurate, each candidate knows what
her standing should be on votes cast
up to Wednesday night, and by adding
her reserve votes aud votes on list yet
to be turned in to the count shown
herewith each will know whether any
mistake has been made, and in case of
any apparent error should notify the
contest manager at once, so that her
ballots may be checked up and any
possible mistake corrected before the
final count.
Of course, it is to be understood,
that the contest manager’s count only
shows votes voted in the ballot box,
and that any votes issued to candidat
es and held in reserve by them will be
counted by the judges.
After the count of votes is started
by the judges, no more balloting can
be done, so that nothing can be count
ed that has not been recorded and bal
lots issued for by the contest manager
before the judges open the box, which
will prevent any possible unfairness,
and when the judges finish theirlcount
and announce their result that will be
final.
Candidates should be sure that all
their reserve votes are turned in and
that all voting is done before the final
count is started, as after the judges
make their announcement one dollar
or tl ree dollais or three hundred dol
lars could not save you. In this con
nection it is the advice of the contest
manager that all votes held in reserve
be deposited in the ballot box early so
that contestants will have nothing on
their minds at the last minute but
their final lists and be surer in this
way that no costlv oversight or error
is made by themselves.

It is only a matter of hours now un
til the end, but those hours are golden
hours, the work of weeks could be
crowded into them, and no one should
be discouraged. No one should pay
any attention to predictions or talk of
what some competitor is going to do.
Many rumors and stories, many for
the effect of possible discourgement,
will be in the air right at this time,
but each contestant and her friends
should go right a head until the end
and let the ballot box and the judges
tell the tale. Remember that many a
battle has been won at the very last
minute, and victory accomplished
right in the face of almost certain
defeat.

not have time to get the votes to a
contestant can vote by paying sub
scription at the office, or by mailing
payment so as to reach here before
