CONTEST WITH TU TU-CoL CTS


Southern California and neighboring
states the big story in yesterday $
Herald was the first publication OF
names of candidates in The Herald S
$4,000 voting contest. These thousands
comprised, not only those numbered
among the candidates themselves, out
their friends and acquaintances. Now,
the battle of ballots is beginning-not
that all candidates in yesterdays list
are working, perhaps a very small por-
ton of them have actually begun
worlxing-but now is the time for each
and every candidate to begin getting
votes No one has begun to MT
stride yet--everyone is just "commenc-
ing to commence"
Some candidates saw to 1t that more
votes than the nomination thousand
we're after their names, most wise
move, because it told the world at
large that they are active, that they
are up and doing, that they are in
this contest and IN TO WIN Inc llst
of names will be published again to-
morrow saturday morning) and VIII
show all votes cast today. And while
on the matter of casting votes, the
contest and circulation departments
wish TO notify all candidates that sub
scriptions. to be started tomorrow
morning. must be brought in before
o'clock today: in other words, sub
scriptions to be started one day must
he brought i'm before o'clock the pre-
ceding day. But general subscriptions
will be accepted until p. m. every
day. -,.-
Before proceeding to other points it
is important that the necessity for all
candidates to have creditable show
ing in tomorrow's standing be made
plain. Here is the idea: Before TINS
contest is finished every man and
woman, every intelligent man ana
woman, in short newspaper reader
will be asked to vote by numerous can
didates, The candidate who gets out
in the field first will get these votes.
The candidate who let's his or her can
didacy be known will get these votes,
And the very best way to let every
body know you are active is to get
handsome vote total after your name
This done, your friends and acqualn-
tances will see that you are in ana
rally to your support But they cant
helm Won unless they know you are ac-
tive Tell them! Show them! And
then see them personally and make
them your lieutenants at once. Get
them. not only to vote for you, but to
get their friends to vote for you. But
the very first thing to do is to have
n handsome vote total after your
name.
FIVE SPECIAL PRIZES
B., In other ways it is highly profitable
to begin campaigning now. The special
prize distribution among the i've can
didates leading the contest at 10 O'Clock
saturday evening, April 9. This is the
first special prize offer of the contest,
so candidates will find it an excellent
thing to win one of these special prizes
and in this way show friends and ac-
ouaintances their determination TO
win one Of the capital or grand prizes

that all votes cast in an effort to win
a special prize will apply on the cap
ital and grand prize distribution. Win

FIRST VOTE REDUCTION
There is still another reason for
hustling every possible minute between
now and April .. This is the fact that
the vote schedule makes its first drop
at that hour on that date. Until then
200 votes will be issued on every dollar
on a new subscription payment and
95 votes on every dollar on an old sub
scription payment After 10 O clock,
April g. a dollar on new subsCrip-
tion payments will get 100 votes only
and a dollar on old subscription pay
ments will get 95 votes, so the more
subscriptions you turn in before 10
O'Clock the evening of April Q, the more
votes will you get on each dollar. To
make this absolutely plain, the follow
ing illustration of how the reduction
affects candidates is given:
A years subscription costs $500 and,
if new, gets 1000 votes if turned in be
fore 10 o'clock Saturday evening, April
Q. but if turned in after that hour on
that date, the same subscription will
get but $50 Votes-a reduction of so
votes! Moral-Get it. and get it NOW!
CLUBS HELP NIGHTLY
Now a word about clubs; Club sub
scriptions are ten new subscriptions
turned in at one and the same time,
regardless of whether they are of
the same length or not When ten new
subscriptions Cor five classified coupon
book vote slips) are turned in at one
and the same time, 100 extra votes are
issued on each dollar in the club
Thus: Regular vote o per Sd.
10 new yearly subs Regular
vote .........,..,...- ..,,.,....., lU00U
100 extra votes on each dollar. 5000
Total of votes issued on club. $4,000
The sample club given here shows
simply how the extra vote is issued
as explained there might be few
ylArly subscriptions; a few half-year
and the rest for three months. They
may be any length-just have the ten
NEW and upon, whatever the total
money represented is figured the extra
votes at the rate of 100 extra votes
for each dollar in that amount
Remember the standing of candi-
dates-the second publication Of candi-
dates and their standing-wil be in
tomorrows Herald. Will your name
be there? And will It have a goodly
number of votes after it? There's
every reason for both
