Pleasantville weekly press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1890-1911, 1910-06-11

The past few weeks at the Jno. S. Weav-
-er Department Store to examine and
play The Press Prize Piano and the
words Of praise expressed regarding it
are numerous. Several times the re-
mark has been made, Isn't it indeed i
beauty, our organization must get busy
and secure this instrument" And why
shouldn't any organization make a con-
centrated effort to win this valuable
trophy for it's assembly room!
1t is true that some energy must be
expended i'll order to be the successful
contestant, yet wnen you consider how
well repaid you will be for making this
effort you should not hesitate one mill
ute in getting busy. 1t would cost your
organization $4,000 if you should want
to purchase this piano, but here is your
chance to obtain it free. FREE-no eA-
pense whatever except energy, enthus-
iasm and organization.
Pray Politics
Particular attention should be paid 20
organization. That is the requisite OF
success organization Imagine a polit
ical party without organization, with
out headquarters, without leaders. 1t
would never elect anyone, it would never
accomplish anything. Get together and
organize. Appoint committees to can
vass for the free vote coupon published
each week in this paper. Secure sub
scription book at this office and solicit
subscriptions in your canvass for votes.
The votes which accompany these sub
scriptions will send your favorite organ
ization up a-whooping. Work as hard
as you would for church supper or
lodge entertainment. You are not ask
ing charity of your friends when you
ask for their subscription to The Press.
Each person who subscribes will get
this paper at the regular price for the
number OF years for which they pay,
and you will secure the votes which are
allowed for their subscription. Tell
them that you want the piano, in fact,
must have it, but that you will need
their support in order to get it.
If you are going to obtain this piano
for your organization, you must get
busy at once. In announcing this con
test we stated that it would be short,
and such will be the case. Only two
more weeks remain until the contest
closes and the piano will be in the
hands OF the successful contestant. Yet
much can be accomplished i'll two weeks
time. The lowest candidate i'll the list
can secure enough subscription votes in
that time to exceed all other candidates
and obtain the valuable Jesse French
piano.
Fourteen Days Left
We had hoped to give a clear state
ment this week as to who the strongest
candidates are, but as yet no organiza
tion has large enough lead to cause
any CONSERVATION among the other con
testants or to deter any in the list
from making an effort to secure The
Press trophy.
Inquiry has been made at this Office
as to the number of votes that will be
necessary to obtain this piano. No
definite amount will be required of any
organization The number that will have
to be secured in order to be successful
will depend upon the number cast by
opposing candidates. Up to the present
time this number has not been very
large and a few subscription ballots, If
the contest was to close today, would
win the valuable piano for any contest
ant in the list. However, the contest is
not over until June 25th, which is four
teen days from date, and the amount OF
support that can be secured between now
and the close will amaze any organiza-
tion that goes after it.
Possibly rumors are af1oat as to the
number of votes certain candidates are
obtaining. but we want to caution all
faint hearted candidates not to listen to
buncombe Don't pay any attention to
what you may hear. You have plenty TO
do in looking after your own end OF this
election 1t is politics, you know, to
eXaggerate reports as to ones strength
in order to discourage competitors and
thereby COMPEL them to give up the
race thus giving a clear field to the part
les circulating these reports. To those
who might be experiencing some slight
misgivings as to their chances of success
we desire to say, keep up the fire Of
coupons and special subscription ballots
until the last hour. More great battles
have been won at the last ditch than at
