past them. There is evidence here
and there that there will be some
stunts done in making the canvass
that will surprise a great many.
! The mails will be used literally.
The postal card canvass is very pop
ular, and brings good results. A
I report comes from a town in the
second district that a candidate is
using the bill boards to promote her
cause. This is not the best publ
city because the appeal is not suffS-
ciently direct. 1t is necessary to en-
list the personal interest of the possi-
BILE voter. other candidates are
planning on giving parties, dances,
ETC., and these are all very good
methods to get interest created.
False RumOre.
Do not believe all you hear. Some
one will try to discourage every good
thing. False rumore of all sorts will
be going around and the contestant
shonld not allow anyone to discour-
age her by telling different things
they have heard. Kindly remember
they are not in a position to judge
the contest as we'll as you.
The contest manager has been
through many different contests and
he knows what is most liable to hap
pen in any big eontest-Remerber
this, the girl who works will win.
Future Subscriptions.
Contestants may find in some
cases friends who wish to help them
in the contest by subscribing for The
Journal but are already taking a To-
cal paper which is paid in advance,
| 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 subscription, the paper to
start at any future date that the SUBJ
scriber may designate.
Summary of Prizes Offered.
The grand prize automobile will go
to the young lady who receives more
votes than any other girl in the con-
test, no matter which district she re-
sides in.
In each of the three districts we
will give absolutely free one $425
Eilers piano, one 500 diamond ring,
one beautiful gold watch, one six
months course in the Holmes Busi-
ness College.
These prizes will be given absolute
ly free to the young ladies of Salem
and other disericts. All that is nee
essary to be winner is to be one OF
the first four in your district when
the votes are counted.
Everything Fair and Equal.
Every part and phase of the con
test has been planned out in the ut
most fairness. The territory, both In
the city and country, has been divid-
ed into districts so that candidates
in one part of the country will not be
competing with more favorable con-
ditions than candidates in another !
part.
In the city of Salem the interest |
is such that friends of candidates |
call at the office to learn how SONS
friend is progressing and letters o. |
inquiry are received by mail. New
are entering the contest,
and without a doubt it will be the
greatest voting contest ever conducl-
ed by newspaper
Check over the list, see what your
friends are doing, what the other
are doing and who will,
probably win the magnificent array
If prizes.
