STANDING OF CANDIDATES. WEDNESDAY, MAY 49, atspm

A considerable number of people are
now working in The Press Contest 1t
will not be many days before hundreds
| will be hustling in the interest OF some
candidate
| The standing today indicates that
somebody has been doing something The
start already made by several of the
candidates leads one to believe that "a
lively time is in prospect in Atlantic
County. A person will not need to read
The Press to find out that things are
active in almost every community where
a candidate is located.
The organizations that have not yet
started had better get a move on them
SO as to avoid being distanced i'll the
race. OF course, there is yet time to do
things, but then time soon slips away
and the opportunity will be lost There
are thousands Of votes to be easily OBJ
tanned everywhere ill the county. All
that is needed is some one to do the
asking.
{
school contesting for the prize piano
should secure votes i'll some manner.
Get freiend to subscribe for The Press.
Get others who are taking the paper to
cut out the coupons and renew their
subscription. Have committees appoint
ed at the next meeting. Get things to
moving i'll your community. You would
be surprised to see the activity now dis
played in localities where the citizens
are determined to have a piano free.
Did you ever stop to consider what
great benefit it will be to have this
piano i'll your assembly room? In al
most every village where, a candidate Is
located the church, lodge or school is
the center of the social life of the COM
munity. No wonder the people in gen
eral approve of the liberal offer of The
Press to give away valuable piano
free Not only will the members Of the
successful organization be benefited, but
the entire community will enjoy the in
strument besides having the satisfaction
of knowing that their citizens are the
most energetic and wide-awake bunch
in Atlantic County.
All told the contest is going at a lively
clip. Everybody's Press is dug up and
given a whack and some diligent worker
gets the votes. To date the struggle has
been clean one and the friendly rivalry
that exists between the candidates has
aroused the interest of the entire com
munity.
For every dollar paid on subscriptions
during the contest, value received is
given in news of the county and town.
The contestants can work with perfect
belief that they are concerned in a
meritorious undertaking and can assure
every person who assists them that they
will get the worth of their money i'll
the news of the county. 1t is the in
tention of the management OF The Press
to improve this paper to such an extent
that no one can do without it. We are
tndeavoring to secure regular GORE
spondence in all Of neighboring communi-
ties and chuck The Press so full of in
teresting news that no one can afford to
be without it.
One of the leading features of the con.
test is the confidence which the contest
ants have in their ability to win. The
workers and their supporters seem TO
have an abiding faith in their ultimate
success Nearly every person seen by
the editor has words of encouragement
No one has any fears of losing. There
seems to be determination on the part
of the supporters that means something
in the way of results And in any I'M
dertaking, confidence and determination
are two thirds Of the battle
Because you may have an idea that the
contest is going to last several weeks is
no excuse for putting of the active can
