In announcing this contest in our issue of Jan. 13, The
Post Search Light said “Tiiisjcontest will close Saturday Feb.
26, at 2:00 p. m. but the publisher reserves the right to post
pone the closing date to Saturday, March 11, at 2:00 |p. m.,
providing two weeks notice is given all candidates prior to
Feb. 26”. We beg to advise all can d'dates that this contest
WILL CLOSE AT 2:00 p. m. Saturday, March 11. THERE
WILL BE NO POSTPONEMENT OF THIS CLOSING
DATE so all candidates can plan their CAMPAIGN WITH
THIS DATE IN VIEW. Many workers have found that
their campaign will not round into the shape they would like
it to before that date, and a greater number of workers ap
pear to favor March 11th, as the close, and for that reason
