testants are using their local news
papers in making the campaign.
There may be others and it's an eX-
cellent idea. Nearly all the readers
of the country papers read one of
the city papers and a very large ma
iority could be induced to read the
Capital Journal. Nearly every reader
of a country paper will find that he
or she has friend making the run
ming of this contest if the candidates
will but make public announcement
of the fact. Space in the papers of
the smaller towns is not so very eX-
pensive and it might be used effect
lively for good display advertisements
without paying very much.
Do not let the days slip by and
think you will get big bunch of sub
scriptions the last week, but hustle
today-right now-and see how
many votes you can get.
No one contestant has acquired
such lead in any of the various dis
tricts as to be able to sit easy. There
is evidence that many of the candi-
dates who have not yet begun to fig
ure largely in the vote, according to
the following tables, are holding their
strength in reserve and will begin to
show it discreetly from now on.
Great Interest Manifest.
The contest is the theme of conser-
vation in thousands of homes in Sa-
EN- and the surrounding country.
That it has been such a success is
due to the fact that the young wo-
men who are virtually interested in
it have done so well up to date and
rrnonhA1 20 hN;
many friends. The Capital Journal
has done what it has considered right
in the matter and will continue to
do so. 'Impartiality" will be the
motto, and those interested may rest
assured the automobile, gold watches,
scholarships and other prizes will go
to the young women who win them.
The field is filled with bright young
women in whom the public is very
much interested and the Journal feels
that a popular cord has been struck
in inaugurating a contest of this kind
and carrying it on so successfully and
impartially up to this time.
Future Subscriptions.
Contestants may find in some
cases friends who wish to help them
in the costest by subscribing for The
Journal but are already taking a
local paper which is paid for in ad-
vance, and not desiring to receive
more than one local daily in their
homes at the same time, the contest
department has arranged to accept
and issue votes on each such sub
scription, the paper to start at any
future date that the subscriber may
designate.
Second Payments.
A great many people do not un-
derstand, and for their information
we wish to say that anyone starting
to take the paper since the contest
started will always be considered
new subscriber during the life of the
contest and votes given accordingly
If you start the paper now pay some
thing in advance and wish to pay
more later during the contest you
will still be considered a new sub
scriber and votes will be Issued ac-
Small Payments.
Candidates that nave taken sub
scriptions for one, two or three
months at the beginning of the con-
test should get these subscribers to
pay the rest of the year, as they are
still considered new.
For example, a person subscribed /
for the paper by carrier and paid so /
cents received 700 votes, by getting
hem to pay $3.50 more you viii
be given 10000 votes, less the 700
votes you have already received on
The so cent payment, or 14,300 votes
IN $3.50 payment. The same number
IF votes are issued to mail and store
subscribers at $4.00 a year. This
'uling also applies to any sec
md payment you may secure,
but in all cases, six months
'r more must be added to
sntitle you TO the second paymenn.
rhe new months will also count In
IN the special offer now in vogue.
When turning in such payments,
Kindly mark your stub Second pay
