commemorative Great Popularity
Contest. Other Contests have al
lowed double the amount of votes
for New subscribers, thus dis
eliminating against the "old" sub
scrlbers. This Contest is different.
While it is conducted principally
to increase the circulation yet The
Commonwealth appreciates the val
ue of "old" subscribers and propos-
es to give them an equal voice in
the election Of the six prize winners.
DO NOT HOLD BACK SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Candidates who have subscriptions
in view, but who have been holding
back awaiting developments, should
do their best during "Opportunity
Time"

tions, but bring them in as soon as

regular number Of votes will be
