i 12 D H BAKST'S SUNDAI AOTBIUUAIN, ATLlANTA, »A., 5UJIDAI, JDBT Zl, Ifflff. Kma ONE WEEK FROM TO NIGHT PONY CONTEST ENDS No One Is Certain of Victory and the Lowest Candidate To-day May Be a Lead er To-morrow—Only Seven More Days to Claim Prizes—Will You Be Among the Winners?—Success Is Within Your Grasp If You Will Only Realize the Fact and Prove Your Right to the Prizes By Your Efforts Now—“Dark Horses" Will Probably Come Fast Dur ing Last Days and Crowd Out the Too Certain Ones. We have now entered the thick of the fight, the battle is on and when the smoke clears away on July SI WHO WILL STAND FORTH AS VICTORS? Who knows? Victory is as liable to perch on the banner of one candidate as another and probably the candidate who is now hovering near the cellar championship, ns the base- ballists sav mnv bo the one who will come so fast during the last few days that there will be no stopping him— he will sweep all before him and march triumphantly to his goal. This statement should lie considered well by all candidates and especially those who may feel that there Is no need for them to exert themselves during this time as they an- certain of victory. No one is certain of victory, and no one will be until all is over. You may be in the lead now and Is- reasonably sure in your own mind that no one can defeat you for the prize you want, but vou do not know what efforts will is- put rorth ts-fore the close and while you rest apparently secure in the prospect of winning, your very nearest eompetitor will probably is- working so energetically that the gsp between you now will be closed up to’allow victory snatched from your grasp when a little real effort during these sfcven days will win for you and any other candidate who falls to do his very best is liable to be without the charmed el role of winners on July til, no matter how far in 1 rent he may 1 -e at present. Present standings are not indicative of final results by a long way. Real effort NOW is going to swing the pendulum of victory or defeat and if you really desire one of those pony outfits or a pretty watch, now is your opportunity to win your selection. Have you ever witnessed a horserace, where the favorite starter] out in front, passed the quarter and half poles away in front and then fell down during the last quarter, while the “rank outsider," now considered as a last place possibility, romped in ahead of the favorite? This illustrates perfectly what is Just a* liable as not to happen in the contest during these last few days. We don’t say that it will happen, but such things have happened so often—the candidate is not given a chance to win by the “wise” ones—finally defeating all his rivals that a similar occurrence in The American Georgian campaign would not be surprising. Hence, we want to Impress upon every candidate the necessity of doing Ills best before the finish overtakes you. FIVE MORE DAYS OF THE RED LETTER BALLOTS. Just five more days and the Red Letter Ballot, which is the last special vote offer of the contest, will draw to a dose. The work being done by the great majority of candidates proves that they appreciate their op portunities and are going to die hard. Those who have as yet done but little on this offer should lose ho time in getting started. There is still time to secure its advantages and every vote secured is a step nearer success. uTesday night at 10 o'clock this offer will close and those who have failed to take advantage of this offer and these will tie but few, will have missed a chance that may mean final defeat Votes are the only things that will win for you and without these necessary tilings you cannot hope to win. Hence every one is worth securing and essential to success. STANDING OF CONTESTANTS IN PONY CONTEST District Number One.
