WITH The APPROVAL OF ALL CANDIDATES-IT is
NOT YET TOO LATE TO NOMINATE,

glad to place them on the free list |
during the contest.
Stamped With Seal of Success.
The large number of votes cast
for the candidates stamps the great
est popular voting contest ever con-
Quoted with the seal of unqualified
success. From all parts of the ter
J. ritory embraced, candidates have en-
tered the race, and they are receiv-
ing loyal support from their home
. communities. This makes the con-
test uniformly fair one, and no can
didate has yet received enough votes
to give lead that cannot be over
come.
Another feature about the contest
that makes it extremely popular,
and which is causing interest to
spread over the country at rate
unsurpassed in history, is that prizes
of equal value will be given in each
district, with the exception of the
capital prize, the Ford automobile,
which goes to the girl with more
votes than any other in the contest.
In each district there will be
awarded an equal number of prizes
to the young ladies. The large num-
Der in the contest assures the can
didates that no one person will be
able to secure such a large number
of votes that others will not be able
! to overcome the lead. The prizes Of
y fered are magnificent, and the con-
z test is still young. If you are can
J didate and there are others who have
{ than you may have, there is no cause
for encouragement

b ed to offer special inducements for

extra votes. This is great oppor-
tunity. Don't miss it.
Securing Subscriptions.
Candidates in any certain district
are in no way restricted from secur-
ing subscribers in any locality that
they may wish. For instance, can
) didate in district No. may secure
subscribers in any of the other two
districts, in fact, candidates may
secure subscribers wherever they
> can get them.
Do 1t Now.
Now is the time to get in few
: votes. The contest is fairly on its
way and the people all over the coun-
try are aroused to meet the demands
made upon them by the young ladies
who are soliciting votes. If little
effort is displayed the people will be
glad to help you, and you will find
getting subscriptions not at all bur-
densome. In fact, it will grow to be
p a pleasure. There are many peculiar
and funny incidents happen in a day
out after votes that you will be sorry
when the contest is over. The mana
ger of the contest department feels
that the support already given has
honestly been earned. While the
contest is in it's infancy get out
among the people, friends and rela-
tives and do little talking. You
will grow to enjoy 1t and the exper-
fence thus gained is worth four prizes
If you don't get the subscriptions
some one else will as Salem and the
adjacent territory will be secured as
though scratched with a fine tooth
comb in the endeavor to get possible
subscribers. While the affair is just
getting started get out and do your
little work on the quiet. A reserve
will do lots of good and 1t can best
be acquired by getting people to sub
scribe for the Capital Journal.
