Arizona republican., 1906-10-14

There was a brilliant start in the first days race for The Republican scholarship and educational trips, and bright and early yesterday morning seventeen enthusiastic contestants were in the field writing receipts for paid-up subscriptions. The contest department was regular bureau of in formation and kept busy answering questions from the wide-awake con- testants regarding the rules of the contest, the privileges of an old sub-' scriber in renewing his subscription to aid a contestant, etc. Many of the boys and girls seemed to be working in the business districts of the town. and from time to time rushed into the Republican office with a bundle of questions for the scholarship manager to propound or help them over some stumbling block they had bumped into. Besides, all day long the telephone buzzed away with inquiries from diff ferent localities, from Tempe Mesa, the rural districts, etc, which shows everyone in the race is out to win, and that it is going to be a strong fight for first place from the beginning.
 It IS remarkable how much interest is already shown by the general pub
  eral business men and friends of the youngsters have come into the office and paid for a subscription requesting that it be credited to this or that con testant.
 GET NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
 Contestants must remember that nothing runs the score up so rapidly as new subscribers. A new subscrip- tion counts nearly double the number of points that an old one does; there fore let no one escape who does not take the leading daily newspaper, not only of Phoenix, but of the territory of Arizona. It is not an altogether easy thing to get new subscribers to The Republican because nearly every one takes it already, but here in Phoe- nix with our desira ble winter climate there are always strangers coming in, especially at this season of the year, when people from all over the east, the north, in fact all parts of the Unit ed States, are Hooking into Arizona to enjoy it's sunshine and balmy winter days and incidentally to invest per- haps. At the hotels and rooming houses are many of these visitors who are here for several months, and cannot do without the only real, live, up-to- date paper, with all the foreign, tele- graphic and local news, while they are here-and the chances are if they be- come a subscriber the habit will be come chronic and they will pay foI several months in advance, and will help the contestant also by saving ev- cry coupon which scores a vote. Sc look out for new subscribers, boys ana girls.
