Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1909-11-25

ONLY Thursday and Friday of this
week remain in which old subScr1b-
.ers NAV take advantage of the spe-
,cial offer made by The Journal by
which they may be of material assist
ance to their friends in the great
contest now being conducted by THIS
paper. Judging from the alacrlty
with which old subscribers have seiz-
ed this opportunity to aid their Ia
vorites in the costest, 1T is safe 10
Dredict that these efforts will be dl-
rectIy responsible for the winning OF
some of the splendid prizes.
This step is the most unusual as
we'll as magnanimous in the history
of newspaper contests. By its proVl-
sions old subscribers are just as po-
tent an influence in assisting some
young lady to victory in the costest
as are new subscribers. 1t is little
wonder therefore that it has been
taken advantage of in such marked
degree. The offer will not be repeat
ed during the contest, so it behooves
all who would lend a helping hand
to their young women friends-and
who is there who has not from one
to a score of favorites in this great
race-to get busy and give them re-
newals to the favorite evening daily
of the state of Oregon.
This offer consits of the awarding
of extra votes for any candidate IN
the race for renewal of old subscr1p-
tions. The only condition is that the
payments therefore be for cash IN
advance. The scale is most liberal
lust the same as for new subscribers.
The scale ranges from 700 votes tor
one month to $4,000 for one year,
and 10000 for two years. Just two
days remain in which you may assist
the young woman, and in reality 1t
costs you nothing, for the paper you
would not be without under any cir
cumstandes. So call up you favorlte
and give her your renewal, or remit
direct to The Journal office, indicat-
ing to whom the votes shall be given,
and they will be placed to her credit
on the poll books. 1t may mean an
automobile, E ilers piano, diamond
ring, scholarship at the dimes busl-
ness college or a gold watch.
Day by day enthusiasm grows
keenly in The Capital Journal contest
and each hour brings votes. Each
candidate realizes that she must
make the best of every day, so that
every day the contest grows more
exciting.
The whole country is alive to the
issue. and as the costest progress
ses the interest will undoubtedly
reach fever heat. The climax comes
