Securing New Subscriptions
Although today is a legal holiday.
the campaign office of The Evening
Sentinel will be kept open throughout
the day and until the usual closing
hour in the evening. 8 o'clock.
This will afford those candidates
who have secured subscriptions an op-
portunity to bring them to the ofiice,
rather than to hold them over until
the end of the week“ In view of the
fact that Saturday will bring another
vote period.“ the campaign to a close
with the usual large number'of sub-
scriptions that will-be exchanged for
votes. each candidate should avail
himself of thisopportunity.
While deserving eulogies of the
great man whose memory we com-
memorate today are left in more
capable hands. it would not be remiss
" to mention that each and every candl-
date who is striving earnestly for a
share of The Evening" .Sentinelfs
83.500 in prizes can gain inspiration
from a few moments reflection on-the
sterling qualities that brought success
to our first president. Sincerity. de-
termination—spirit. invincible ——- these
were the high lights in his illustrious
life.
These same qualities are needed to
bring forth the three winners of the
cars that head The Sentinel p e’list.
Only' consistent effort can bring any
candidate to the top of the list on
March 3. This is applicable to one
and all among the workers. There is-
not one who has‘enough votes at this
moment to assure winning one of the
care. As surely. as a single candidate
pauses at this critical stage of ‘the
campaign. just so} surely will he he
passed by others more determined.
Today’s leisure will prove valuable
to the real workers as it will. permit
their seeing all those people who have
promised to help them. Several
candidates who _ .were in the
-ofiice yesterday ‘ announced their
intention of Spending the entire day
cleaning up promised subscriptions
and securing renewals. With the ’close
of the vote period so near at hand.
many subscriptions will be secured at
a time when they mean most. ,.. , ‘
Watch closely your balance on the
220 clubs this week. The new schedule
effective during the final week gives
25. 000 less votes for these clubs. If
you are not certain of the amount
credited to you toward another :20
club. it is well to get in touch with the
campaign .oflice and learn the exact
amount. Do not allow the Week to end
Remember also. that votes on sub-

REILLY lOSES
IN LIONS» CASE
In the memorandum decision filed.
in the Superior court yesterday Judgb .‘
John W. Banks denies a motion of
counsel for High Sheriff Thomas I.
Reilly.o of New Haven, and one 13$ ‘
deputies, Joseph Binkoski. to set
a. jury "verdict of $1, 540 obtained \
‘ogainst them by Louise Knox. of Dan»
bury. The American Surety 00., as
bondsman for the sheriff and his de-
puty is a co-defendnat.
The action which resulted in the
verdict grew out of the attachment by
Blnkoski and subsequent sale or three
trained lions which were in pains-ion
of Adgle Costello. Mrs. Knox claims ‘
that she purchased the lions in Texas
and that while they continued in tho _.
possession of Ads-1e Costello who rtain-f
ed them and 'exhibited them. they.
were not ‘her property and were Ian-t
lawfully seized by the sheriff to lath-
fy claims against the Costello woman.
Judge Banks says that the jury
found that ’the sale of the lions- fig.
Adgie Costello to Mrs. Knox. which
took place in Texas was born M9,
