Il didn't know IL was so easy said
q young lady who came into the Office
Of the Contest Department of THE
JOURNAL yesterday with a subscrip-
ton she had just secured. BY bring
Ing IN this subscription before Satur-
day night the young lady became en-
titled to one of the Subscription Bal
lots. good for 10000 votes each.
The contestant had already turned
In large number Of ballots and
when she said she didn't know it was
SO easy she meant that the ease
with which subscriptions were Sc
cured surprised her.
This i8 but one case. Other candi-
dates. after little experience, are
coming to the same conclusion regard
ing subscripuons-tha they are not
so hard to get and that n Is about as
easy to get subscriptions for a yeag
or two years as IL is to get them for
six months when you are going to
ask a man for a subscription, mem
tion the one and two-year kind. and
don't let him ever dream that there is
any such subscription as a six months
subscription. unless you have to-" This
Is the advice of one candidate who iG
meeting with success.
But all of this should not create the
impression that the short term sub
scriptions are to be ignored. In many
Instances, subscribers old and new,
do not feel like paying for more than
six months and there will be scores of
such subscriptions during the con-
test
Every candidate. however, should
secure at least one subscription be-
fore the week is over that is, all those
who have not already turned in one
such subscription. This is the one con-
dition to be complied with before a
candidate becomes entitled TO one Of
the subscription ballots good for 10,-
600.
Persons who have had in consider
alton the matter of entering the con-
test are invited to act promptly. Nc
