DETAILS FOR THE FINAL COUNT
IN THE O'NEILL FRONTIER'S BIG PRIZE CAMPAIGN ENDING MAY 31
■ ■
In order to maintain the utmost secrecy as to the number of subscriptions
and votes turned in by each candidate in this, the last week of The Frontier s
campaign, the race is being brought to a close under a sealed ballot box
system.
No subscription whatever will be accepted through the Campaign Office
this last week of this campaign, but instead, candidates themselves will deposit
their final collection in the SEALED BALLOT BOX,in sealed enevelopes. by
doing so, no one, not even the publisher or campaign management, can pos
sibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates this period, which
precludes any possibility of favortism and insures fairness to the minutest
degree.
The sealed ballot box will be available in the lobby of the Frontier office
from 7 P.M. to 9 P.M. Tuesday night, May 31st when the campaign will be
declared closed.
When the final hour arrives, the campaign will be declared closed. The
judges will break the seals and immediately thereafter, or as soon as the votes
can be issued on the subscriptions contained therein, the last vote count will
begin. The winners will be determined by merely adding the vote totals and
those contained in the ballot box.
It is expected to require some time to tabulate the reports in the ballot
lx)x to determine the winners. However, the official count will be completed
Tuesday night and the names of the winners and the number of votes of each
will be announced in Thursday’s Frontier.

ADVISORY BOARD
It has been the sincere desire of this newspaper to conduct
this drive from start to finish in a fair, honorable and impartial
manner. Every precaution has been taken to safeguard the in
terests of participants and absolute honesty in all dealings is
guaranteed. However, not all wisdom lies with one man or insti
tution; for that reason an Advisory Board was selected whose
function was to decide any question of sufficient moment that
might have arisen during the campaign, and from which a com
mittee shall be selected to act as judges and count the votes the
last night of the campaign.
F. N. Cronin
President O’Neill National Bank
Ed Gallagher
President First National Bank
Joe Stutz
President O’Neill Chamber of Commerce
All these gentlemen are well known to everyone in this locali
ty and their decision will be absolute and final, but all candidates
have the privilege of checking the count after the close of the
campaign, and see how the winning votes are acquired.
CANDIDATES ATTENTION!
Heretofore, candidates have had the privilege of reporting
subscriptions by phone as late as the closing hour of the various
vote reductions. This will not be permitted the last night of the
campaign.
