Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1909-11-19

to start at any future date the sub
scriber may designate
Stamped With Seal of Success.
The large number of votes cast for
the candidates stamps the greatest
popular voting contest ever conducted
with the seal of unqualified success.
From all parts of the territory en-
braced, candidates have entered the
race, and they are receiving loyal
support from their home communi-
ties. This makes the contest a uni
formity fair one, and no candidate
has as yet received enough votes to
give a lead that cannot be overcome.
Another feature about The Capital
Journal contest that makes it eX-
tremely popular, and which is causing
interest to spread over the country at
a rate unsurpassed in history, is that
prizes of equal value will be given in
each district, with the exception of
the capital prize, the 1910 Ford auto
! mobile, which goes to the girl with
more votes than any other in the con-
test.
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 candi-
dates that no one person will be able
to secure such a large nuember of
votes that others will not be able to
overcome the lead The prizes Of
| fered are magnificent, and the con-
test is still young. If you are can
dida' and there are others who have
more votes in the contest to date than
| you may have, there is no cause for
discouragement.
Second Payments.
A great many people do not under
/ stand, and for their information we
wish to say that anyone starting to
! take the paper since the contest start
ed will always be considered a new
subscriber during the life of the con-
test and votes given accordingly. II
you start the paper now pay some
thing in advance and wish to pay
more later during the contest you
will still be condisered a new sub
scriber and votes will be issued &C.

No Increase in Price.

great voting contest are free to pat

fuse and overcome the embarrassment
of canvassing votes that would re-
suit if the price were increased.
Small Payments.
Candidates that have 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 who sub
for the paper and paid so cents re-
ceived 700 votes, by getting them to
pay $3.50 more you will be given
: $4,000 votes, less the 700 votes you
have already received on the so cent
payment, or 14,300 votes on $3.50
payment. This ruling also applies to
any second payment you may secure.
| Where the paper is taken by mail or
suburban stores the rate is $4.00 per
! year is charged a subscriber who paid
80 cents would pay the difference,
| S3.65 and would receive 1900 votes,
as second payment, but in all cases,
| six months or more must be added to
entitle you to the second payment.
The new months will also count in
on the special offer no win vogue.
When turning in such payments,
kindly mark your stub second pay
ment."
Golden Opportunity.
To get extra votes by little effort,
the subscriptions should not be held
back until the last day, but should
be turned in as soon as secured. Ac-
curate account will be kept of all
subscriptions, turned in by candi-
dates. This offer is for new sub
scriptions only, turned in between the
above dates.
The contest manager will issue the
extra ballots after this offer closes
and will mail same to contestants en-
titled to them.
