IN THE BANNER’S GREAT
CHRISTMAS GIFT CAMPAIGN
Great Friendly Rivalry Exists in the De

in Store for all Candidates-Look Out for
the Announcement in Tuesday Morning

These are the best and all guaran
teed.
The special invitation extended can
didates in each district to become a
guest of the Banner on Monday even
ing to view the Prince of Pilsen has
proven a very Interesting feature of
the campaign. The offer of securing
two tickets is good until Monday noon
and the same will be awarded to a
candidate in each district turning in
the greatest amount on subscriptions.
A still bigger feature is to be intro
duced to the candidates and same will
be announced in Tuesday morning’s
Banner and will no doubt prove of
great interest to all candidates in both
districts.
“Straws show which way the wind
blows” and the real interest in the
Athens Banner Great Christmas Gift
Subscription Campaign was best man
ifested yesterday when thousands of
votes came from all over the territory
in both districts. Almost all of the
nominees for the big Hudson-Six, the
Ford Touring Car or some of the oth
er valuable Christmas Gifts have been
heard from and there are many who
will take part in the campaign. The
wonderful amount of voting that has
been done by the public iu general is
positive evidence that the voting has
just beguA, and the future voting is
going to be very heavy. There is no
one who will feei that the Hudson-Six
and the othe: Christmas awards have
been won until the end of the cam
paign which is only a short time off.
Listen Candidates, and listen well;
the offer of the extra vote of 200,000
beside the regular schedule for each
club of collected subscriptions to the
amount of $20,00 is your opportunity
of claiming first honors in this cam
paign and an opportunity for you to
make a most excellent showing In
piling up a substantial vote that will
stand the strain of competition in the
•end. Those who are just making the
start can by taking advantage of this
special ofTer secure a big vote quick
ly and have as many votes as any of
the other candidates. It is an oppor
tunity that the subscribers of the pa
per will no jdoubt take advantage
of in order to assist their favorite can-

Man’o Debt to the Candle.
After the lamp came the candie,
whose modest ray we are inclined to
regard with a considerable amount of
kindliness and esteem. But for the
candle the dark ages of the world
would have been dark In a still more
literal sense than they already were,
and to this humble # servant civilized
mankind was indebted for the very
best illuminant it possessed, certainly
until the latter end ol the eighteenth
century, and probably right up to the
time of the invention of gas.
The following communication from
Col. Howell 'ey. Erwin, chairman of the
executive committee, explains itself—
in reference to a misapprehension
concerning the managers of tne pri
mary election of Tuesday, the 23rd:
Chairman's Letter
Editor of the Banner,
City.
Dear Sir:
I have been informed by some of
the parties that I appointed as man
agers and clerks for the primary to
be held on November 23rd that some
confusion has arisen on account of
the publication of the managers for
the general city election to be held in
December.
Some of the parties appointed have
gotten the impression'that there is
but one election to be held and that
there is some conflict between the
city council and the chairman of the
democratic executive committee in
the appointment of the managers and
clerks.
I shall be very glad if you will
publish this statement so that all mis
apprehension on the subject, may be
cleared up ^ '
I have not notified the managers
and clerks that I have appointed other
than by publication In the paper, and
I will thank you, in connection with
this card, to republish the appoint
ments of clerks and managers which
I have heretofore made.
I trust that any of my appointees
who cannot serve will let me know
at once so that there will be no trou
ble in supplying their places.
Yours very truly,
HOWELL C. ERWIN, Chairman.
