Ir " Interest in The .Record's voting con- M test reached its high water mark; on l Thursday and Friday, and the finish j was spirited even feverish at least JL three of the leading candidates evi- .n,. dently being in the race with the full 'mi-t iot.rtnitiation at winning the car. As thotl4th inst. is the dateTTXed'tor-the final count, and the awarding of hej s prizesthe winnerof the car is not A 7'" y?t known even by "the. management ' of. The Record. t will require tho. of- fical count, by 'the judges next Tuesday Tues-day to decide it. '- Quite a number bf'gbesses as to. the winner, .and the final vote were sub; mittcd fiyour'subscribersnd.wiH al-! ,so be considered and jicttTdvupori by the judges of tho contest. From the few of them that wore disclosed fo the management of the paper, it is ev-' ev-' -v ldent that there is a wide difference of' opinion. Guesses have been hand- ed in oil the way from 95,000 to 331,- As soon as the mails arc opened next Tussday, the judges will begin the mdi count and the results will bo bulletined HK 'n nc Record window as soon as the gJIpf count is completed. In tho mean time, IIS ' thsro is quite a period of suspense for Xftf;. candidates and others, but the object Mfe.. wa3 t ive everyone an opportunity J8i " Pst'their' votes or remittance's, on ywgE. thclOth, .regardless of where tlioy re- IPT 8ldc- 1 ' . The finish of the contest was with good feelings on tho part of all the j contestants, so far as wo know, or were able to judge; practically all have expressed entire satisfaction with the way Iho contest has been conducted, 9. and arc willing to accept without com- i plaint tho decision of the judges. Of course, only one of them can win, but It all are determined to show that they I ' ' arc game losers, if tho count goes I against them, as well as energetic nnd I . aggressive workers. fl The cash prizes, while not ns large as we should liked to have made them, Hr had we seen our way elenr to do so, ; will at least be a little consolation to thoBj who have worked hard, but do m' not win the car. 9 On the whole, the contest lias proven .. satisfactory. It has something near ' como up to the estimates and expec- tations of the management, but has I not exoccded them. It has been the means of bringing a large numtcV of recruits to our already large, urmy of readers, and we can nssuro advertisers wv the largest circulation of any newspa- mr per printed south of Provo, at least. f It brings us to tho point whea n fuat- V r er and more perfect newspaper press 'X v j is imperative, and tho matter will i likely receive consideration in the J near future. A i We wish to thank the candidates if vho have contributed so muny new I names and now business in other linos, J ? and also the public, wno have mai.i- r, fested so much interest and have been , ' .' bo liberal in their patronage of th I jnjier and support of thi candidates. ; $ - V e assure them that whatever pros- ,ji r'',;. lo'ty comes our way wil! be made" ; v ''" moat of for the iniO ovement of i "-'i . ,,r sei-vicc, and for moi and belter i ' ' ' puliicity for the souther i counties of . i I tali, which nie destim 1 to hold an i ' j f. in.pcrtant position in ttn commerce, . iV v industry, and stability of the State. |
