The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-12-09

Many of our young ladies and their
friends brought in subscriptions and
coupons to-day indicating their ap-
probation of the awards in the
grand tour of Bermuda and from
now on until THE finish we antici-
pate a lively struggle for first place.
A good plan is as you gain one SUBJ
scriber and register in the ballot
box, have your eye on two others
to take their place on the reserve
list. Open up all the channels avail
able and have your field as large
as the state, and then look out of
the state to those friends of yours
who have moved away, but who
would like to have THE CITIZEN.
We would ask all those who bring
in coupons to see that they are not
out of date and to write names on
them if they are not already filled
out. From this time on the contest
will be lively. There are no sure
things in this contest. The cinch
is for the one who makes up her
mind that the trips are not to be won
until the final vote is counted and
that every day is the time for un-
firing hustle for votes. For infor-
nation call or write Contest Mana
ger, CITIZEN office.
While nominations will be COM
ing in for month yet, you had bet
ter get in at the start; be in with
the early ones. Join this live bunch
of hustlers and have the time of
your life.
We will give the vote ballots is
sued on subscriptions to you as the
subscriptions are turned in so that
you can have the votes polled when
ever you choose.
How Votes Are Secured.
With every subscription to THE
CITE IN (when it is asked for) is
given a coupon good for a certain
number of votes, according to the
| length of the subscription. This is
explained elsewhere. These coupons
may be held as long as desired and
many be voted at any time up to the
! last day of the contest. In fact, it is
the Chief knew him not 1t has
| been well to hold back a large per
cent. of your vote coupons. Then
no one knows how many votes you
! have and you are less likely to have
someone who knows how you stand
step in at the last and, by paying
! for a great many subscriptions, Sc
cure the prize you desire. If you
hold part of your votes back, no
one can do this. They will not know
how many are necessary to win, and
will not take chances on spending
money for nothing.
The ballots printed in THE It'll
ZEN are good if voted within one
week from the time printed. The
date on which they expire is on the
bottom of each ballot and if the time
is expired the ballot will not be
counted. A nomination blank counts
for l 900 votes.
Instructions to Candidates.
Candidates will notice that the re-
ceipts are to be made in duplicate,
the white one to be given to the sub
scriber and the yellow one to THE
CITIZEN office. When you send or

! yellow receipt you fill out for your

{ tion brought or sent in according tC
