ing-Remember, the Special Offer
Closes September is.
| But eleven days remain and then
the great double vote offer will be
over. And right now is the time that
every candidate must begin to show
what she is made Of, if she stays in
the race and is counted among the
winners at the finish.
1t will be possible to start later
but it will be hard. Don't make your
campaign a difficult one. Make it
easy. Start now and you will be
known as the candidate to your group
Of friends and will receive their sup
port.
Every candidate in the contest has
the same opportunity, if they will
only make up their minds to take ad-
vantage of it. Don't wait till the last
week Of the contest to get a hustle
on. Do it now.
| The candidates are just beginning
to realize the value of this, the great
est offer of the contest. They are not
taking mo" for an answer nor being
stood off with future promises.
Remember, subscription in the
hand is worth any number in the
brush. For it is only those in the
i hor hot fnr DO
early bird and get votes now while
the field is practically unworked, for
it will be harder later on. Get your
friends to plug" for you.
An organized campaign started now
will prove a fighting machine with
which you will be able to poll thou
sands of votes, and it is the votes
that will decide the winner when the
great contest ends on October IA.
Organize better and start anew to-
day. Don't waste time worrying
about other candidates have
troubles of their own. Don't listen to
the wonderful reports about the num-
Der OF votes your opponent has.
Someone is trying to frighten you OF
the list.
Are you planning your work in ad-
vance? You ought to map out your
campaign for every day. You are
really in a battle-a battle for votes
but a battle, nevertheless. You must
know what you are to do before you
start out to do it. Half an hour spent
in the evening thinking out what you
will do the next day will save hours
for YOU.
Don't Fall Down.
The most dangerous spot to the
candidates is lack of energy. II you
fall here you cannot expect sympathy
from anyone It will be entirely your
own fault and we cannot feel bit
sorry for you. You will feel sorry
for yourself, though, when you find
that others have cleared this bad spot
in the race and are still going. Re-
member, the going is good. All you
have to do is to show the people that
you are in to win, and above all, keep
up your show of fighting spirit.
Don't Disappoint Friends.
Remember, always, that your duty
in this campaign is not merely to
yourself, but you are somewhat under
obligations to everyone that has given
you a subscription.
They gave it to you with the un'
derstanding that it was to help you
win a prize and that you were going
to work hard to win it. Especially
do you owe something to the friends
that nominated you. Their doing sc
proved that they thought highly OF
your ability. Do not give them
chance to change their minds.
