By Herbért Raines
Three times Cordele has invaded
Kastman and {hree times Eastman

Iwanl holding the small end of the
score. On this fourth invasion the

never before been displayed. Back
of this determination is strength of
line and backtield. With powerful

Cerdele stands a better chance of
defeating Eastrwan than at any othey
time of the last three battles.
The Cordele team is out fer viey

come by hard fighting, then the Cor

that Coach Bill Bruner will start his

EXCESS OF WORK FROM NOW
TILL DECEMBER 3RD SHOULD
GIVE A CAR WINNING LEAD.
The standing of the candidates as
they appeared in last nights Dispatch
proves conclusively that the margin of
leadership is very narrow and that the
winning of the Chrysler and two
Chevrolet Coaches will be decided by
the work done between now and the
close of the Christmas Gift Campaign
on December 24th. So far, no out
standing leader has appeared, a con
dition that offers the live candidate
a chance to jump ahead by consistent
work before the First Vote Peiod
closes one week from Saturday. In
fact the workers are so closely bunci
ed that one good days work could put
any candidate in the coveted ficst
position.
None of the territory covered by the
Dispatch has been worked and rigat
here in Cordele only one out of ten
subscribers have paid their subscrip
tion to a candidate in the campaign.
Some have promised their support aud
some have cifered good wishes but
neither promises nor good wishes will
help a candidate win one of the cais
unless backed up with a paid sub
scription—AND TO HELP A CANDI
DATE THE MOST THAT SUBSCRIP
TION SHOULD BE GIVEN BEFORE
DECEMBER 3rd.
As there will be no paper published
on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, the
next comparative standing of candi
dates will appear Friday night. This
standing will include all subscriptions
reported up to 3:00 p. m. that day.
It any candidate is truly desirous of
winning one of the cars the campaign
manager aclvises an excess of work
from now until 9:00 p. m. Saturday
