El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-04-02
RIOTERS ARE:
BECOMING
ACTIVE:
Friends Of Contestants Are
AS Enthusiastic as Bunch
of Baseball "Rooters."

This is the time of year when every
body begins to figure on the opening of
the baseball season and speculates on
which town in the southwest will have
the best team this summer. The friends
of contestants in the four districts are
equally busy and interested in speculat-
ing as to who will win the prizes in
the race for honors and awards in each
district There are just as many root
ers" in the ranks of the contestants as
in the ranks of the baseball bugs
Better to many than the prospect of be-
ing able to root for team which wins
is the prospect of being able to cheer
for the contestants who win the ele-
CANT car, the Apollo player, the trips TO
New York. the handsome piano and the
several attractive district prizes which
are to be awarded or the tenth of next
month.
Coupons Not Everything.
The enthusiasm OF some of the con-
testants in The HeraId's contest may be
directed toward securing subscriptions
wholly and others may be devoting val
liable time trying to collect coupons ex-
clusively and having their friends do
the same. The contestants who are DO
ing the latter exclusively. and failing
to take advantage of the votes whic
ever, find that their coupon vote does
not compare favorably with that OF
their rival contestants who have se-
cured larger number of votes on SUD-
scriptions.
The coupons are printed in the paper
and are worth five votes every day in
the week except one when their value is
raised to so votes They aid materially
when added to the votes obtained by
turning in subscriptions However. It
would be impossible to win if the cou-
pons alone We're submitted. Spend no
time in simply collecting coupons In
stead kill two birds with one stone and
wherever you get a coupon ask the
subscriber TO let you have his subscrip-
ton payment instead of sending it to
The Herald direct You will find that
nearly everyone who is now taking the
paper fully intends to renew the sub
scription as soon as the time for which
1T Is now paid expires and if you ap-
proach subscribers properly there is no
reason why you cannot collect a full
year in advance from each one of them
and get credit for the votes. Waste no
time buying copies of The Herald and
clipping coupons from them. This will
avail you nothing, and The Herald is
not seeking that sort of sales. The sub
scriptions bring all the way from 100
to 5000 votes and it is the subscriptions
which will count when it comes to de-
termining who are. the prize winners
OF course as you add each new subscrib-
er tell him or her to save the coupon
for you and in this way the coupon be-
comes of value because it is added to the
greater number Of votes given when the
subscriptions are turned in
Use the Telephone
There is a telephone service in nearly
every town from which contestants are
entered and candidates need not go 10
the trouble of personally calling on
friends who may not happen to be in
when they go around TO see them Use
the telephone or write. Then If a per-
sonal call is necessary it can be made,
but while a whole afternoon can be
subscriber. and not seeing him or her.
the same time could be utilized in gath
ering. maybe, two or three or even
more subscribers if the telephone were
used or a postal card first sent TO as
certain whether the friend would favor
you with his or her aid.
First Special Prize Offer.
Each contestant in The Herald's Pop
ular Voting Contest will be given
beautiful set of masterpieces Of the
wrold's literature. or set of the works
of Rudyard Kipling. for the first six

testant for the first 10 new yearly SUD-
scriptions sent ip-
