SPECIAL PRIZES IMPORTANT
The idea, purpose and meaning Of
special prize awards is to encourage
new candidates to start campaigning,
and when they have started campaign
ing to reward them for their activity
. Equally as important and beneficial as
winning a prize yourself is the fact that
your friends will take an active in
terest in the campaign and further 1t
to their utmost. When a candidate,
individually, succeeds in winning a spe-
cial prize dozens of friends see that
he or she is determined to make sue
cess throughout and will rally to his
or her support to carry the battle for
ward to still greater success. All votes
cast for special prizes apply on the
capital and grand prize distribution to
be made at the close of the contest
READ THIS CAREFULLY
The ten prizes to be divided next
Saturday evening are for increases
made since 10 p. m. April 9 and up
to 10 p. m. April 23. Hence, every
thing done now places candidate that
much. nearer a special prize. As is
shoTn on page II, the opportunities
offered are great, and there is no eX-
cuse for anyone not doing his or her
very best. Now, Of all times, is the
time to make d good showing. Secure
all the subscriptions you can before
Saturday and cast them early Satur-
day evening. All ballots will be cast
in sealed envelopes, and the count will
be made as quickly as possible. Candi-
dates living in outside cities should
mail their envelopes early Saturday
evening, and make sure that the post
mark of their home postoffce shows
clearly that the envelopes were de-
posted in the postoffce before 10
o'clock Saturday evening. All such
votes will be counted This provision
is made to make the opportunities Of
the city and outside candidates abso-
lutely equal.
WORD OF WARNING
A word of warning to all candidates
is necessary here. Do not Overrate
yourself or upderrate any other candi-
date, no matter how large your or how
small his total may be. The last spe-
cial prize period saw a number Of
unknown participants jump from OBJ
scurity into high places, and in several
instances candidates who had hardly
more votes than the nomination thou4
sand Won some of the very highest spe-
cial prizes This was because the can
didates who were leading up TO the
last day had been oveTconhdent and
did not consider the candidates with
small totals at all. For this reason
this warning is sounded now, and all
candidates are urged to do their very
best and leave nothing undone which
will make their totals safely high. The
bulletin sent out to candidates this
week should be read and reread several
times, and the information given there
in used.
FIELD Is FERTILE
All candidates who have lust made
up their minds to participate in this
contest have just as good an oppor-
tunity as those who have already done
their initiative work. Thousands of
people are now interested in this con-
test where a few days ago there were
hundreds AS the days roll around
votes will be cast by the thousands
and tens of thousands instead of by
the hundreds as a result, and candi-
dates who are now campaigning will
find support coming easily.

terprise should get into communication
with the contest department at once.
