PAGE TEN Casper Sunday Worning Cribune So Se LA ERR ALS a SUNDAY, APRIL 29, 1923. DETAILS OF THE FINAL COUNT In order to maintain the utmost secrecy as to the number of subscriptions turned in by each candidate this, the last week of The Tribune’s Big Automobile Campaign, the race will be brought to a close under a sealed Bal- lot Box. After Tuesday’s issue of The Tribune, the standings will not be published. No subscriptions whatever will be accepted through the campaign department this week, but instead, candidates themselves will de- posit their final collections in the SEALED BALLOT BOX located at the Wyoming National Bank of this city. By so do- ing, no one, not even the campaign manager, or the publishers can possibly know the voting strength of the respective candi- dates, which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. Locked and sealed, the ballot box has been placed in the Wyo- ming National Bank, where it will remain until noon the closing hour of the bank, Saturday, May 5th. At that time it will be brought to the office of the Tribune and placed where candi- dates can deposit their votes and subscriptions up to 11 p. m. When the final hour arrives the campaign will be declared clos- ed. The judges will break the seals, unlock the box and immedi- ately thereafter, or as soon as votes can be issued on subscrip- tions contained therein, the last count will begin. The winners will be determined 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 count, but simply a matter of adding the vote totals and announcing the winners. IMP V READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY A It is calculated that it will require some time however, to canvass the findings in the box and to determine the winners. The offi- cial results will be published as soon thereafter as possible. Out-of-Town Candidates, Attention! Heretofore out-of-town candidates have had the privilege of mailing their letters containing subscriptions from their home town as late as the closing hour of various “‘periods.’’ ‘This will not be permitted the last night of the contest. ALL VOTES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS MUST BE IN THE SEALED BOX WHEN THE RACE IS CLOSED AT 11 O’LOCK SHARP. Out-of-town candidates should, where it is possible to do so, ar- range to deposit their envelopes in person at the bank, but where this cannot be done, letters containing final remittance should be addressed to CAMPAIGN DEPARTMENT, The Casper Daily Tribune, Casper, Wyo., and plainly marked FOR SEALED BALLOT BOX---NOT TO BE OPENED. Particular care should be taken to post such letters in good time to reach this office before the final hour and it is advisable that they should be under special delivery stamp. TANT NOTICE All subscriptions deposited in the sealed Ballot Box must be accompa- nied by Cash, Money Order or Certified Check for the full amount to cov- er. Personal checks up to $45 are acceptable, providing no two checks are signed by the same party. This is made in fairness to all candidates and will be strictly adhered to.
