I nr day night one would have thought
I that the great I IS. 000 popular voting
[ conteat hod come to a clone Inatend of
j it being merely the clone of one of the
' extra prlxe and vote offera, the wlnnera
j of which were announced In Wednoa-
; day's Georgian.
Thouaanda of votca were Issued to
i the various candidates, and ninny nro
holding bark most of them to use Inter
in the game. Altho some of the con
testants already hnve a great many
▼oten to their credit In the published
standing, yet there are more than twice
as many votes being held back, and
every day more votes are going Into
the reserve fund.
No one has a monopoly In this Con
test. as It la open to all. and the beauty
about It Is that no one can win more
than one of the prises. No mnttrr how
. many votes a candidate may hove, she
: con not win more than one prise, so
i this Insures every one In the race a j
II
stronger chance lo win one of the
prizes. There are three prizes for ev
ery district and perhaps four itr live,
depending on whether some one In your
district wins one of the capital prises,
should some one In your district
twin one of the capital prises,
then you would still have n chance to
win one of the three prises In your dis
trict. ns there would he three prises
Just the same, tha winner of n capital
prise not being entitled to a district
prise.
There lias been some tnlk of this or
that candidate drawing nut of the con.
test and transferring her votes to some
other of the candidates. We wish to
Inform every one that the votes are
positively non-transferable. They run
not be transferred under nny circum
stances. If you drop out of the race,
you lose your votes. Dm do not nllnnr
yourself to become disheartened by
what, you have heard, for there are
many rumors being circulated for thut
very purpose by the oversealoua friends
of other candidates. Hllck to your Job,

Governor George M. Troup, Genernl
David Rlnckshear, a hero of the war of
