i oh cg a FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1923. be Casper Dally Critnne PAGE ELEVEN The Last Day! The Day of Days is almost here! Tomorrow is the last day of of balloting! When the clock points to-the hour of eleven Saturday night, there will have ended the shortest, the greatest, the most liberal and the hard- est fought newspaper campaign ever conducted in this vicinity. Saturday is the last chance in the Casper Tribune’s Big Campaign! The stage is set; everything is in readiness for the overwhelming rush of votes and subscriptions that will come. Every hour that remains has possibilities. But every minute counts. One supreme final effort tomorrow may land that prize for which you have been working, and have-set your heart upon. The friends who have responed with supporting force can hardly refuse at the mo- ment when a little helping may mean victory. It has been predicted that this will be a race of narrow margins; hence, every subscription, no matter how small, is valuable. Think what vic- tory means in this race -- Luxury, Pleasure -- the very best things that life holds out are in store for some. Who? Ah, that is a matter that only hustle and organizing ability will determin. This has been-a fairly tought campaign. It has been conducted along absolutely impartial lines. The best campaigners are going to win: In order to maintain the utmost secrecy as to the num- ber of subscriptions turned in by each candidate this, the last week of the Tribune's big Auto Campaign will be Brow to a close under a sealed Ballot Box. The vote i standing will not be published again until the close. No subscriptions whatever will accepted through the campaign department this week, but instead, candidates themselves will deposit their final collections in the sealed ballot box—located in the lobby of the Wyoming National Bank. By so doing no one, not even the campaign man- ager, or the publishers can possibly know the. voting strength of the respective candidates, which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. Locked and sealed, the ballot box has been placed in the lobby of the Wyoming National Bank where it will remain until.noon (the closing hour of the bank) Satur- day, May 5. At that time it will be brought to the office of the Tribune and placed where contestants can deposit - their votes and subscriptions up to 11 p, m. j When the final hour arrives, the campaign will be de- clared closed. The judges will break the seals, unlock the box and immediately thereafter, or as soon as votes can be issued on subscriptions conttained therein the last count will begin. There will be no waiting; no compli- cated count, simply a matter of adding the vote totals and announcing the winners. It is calculated that it will require some time, however, to canvass findings in the box and to determine the win- OMORROW THE LAST DAY. pewees a _- ~ Pn _ Rimes. e Those who apply themselves during every minute of the time there is left are the ones whose chances are most likely. The battle of bal- lots has been waged at a heartbreaking pace these last few days, and many surprises may be sprung by the quiet but energetic workers. Who knows how many have bridged the gap from the bottom to suc- cess since the vote standing last appeared? ; This uncertainty has stimulated every candidate to increase his or her vote total to the very limit of their ability, for each has realized that their competitors are doing the same thing. Candidates must send or bring their subscriptions in by 11 o’clock Sat- urday night or they will not be credited. Every stub must be accompanied by a remittance to cover same and no money will be refunded after the votes have been issued on same. This rule will be strictly enforced for the mutual protection of The Tribune and the many candidates. There is still time to make a winning race. Reward hovers near for those who have the stamina to grasp it. Only a little added work may place you among the happy circle who will be honored by one of the many prizes. The judges who have been selected to count the votes for the final standing will begin their task and finish by Sunday morning if possi- ble. The winners will be announced and the results will be published Monday. A AR TSA ER TTT be DETAILS OF THE FINAL COUNT ner.
