Beginning this morning al eight
clock the Star inaugurated a special

scriptions. The offer will last for ten
days only, closing Saturday, January

and Will be issued on each club" of
FIVE six months subscriptions that are

Yearly subscriptions Will count for
two six months orders. but two three

curate record of the subscriptions Sc
cured by each candidate during this

the offer, the number of six months
and yearly subscriptions will be added
quired number Will be entitled 10 the
extra ballot of 10000 votes on each
club of five for six month subscrip-
tions.
This offer is made so that the can
didates who are really desirous OF Sc
curing the prizes will have chance To
increase their vote standing and get
many votes to be held in reserve until
the last of the race. Every one has an
equal chance in the offer, and many
clubs can be turned in as il is possible
to secure The 10000 votes will be is
sued in addition to the regular number
which is allowed on every subscription
and will be given on every club of five
six months subscriptions, either new
or old.
Candidates should do their best now
as this offer will not be repeated and
those who do not take advantage Of il
will have lost the best chance Of the
race, and many votes in consequence.
Every little effort now will count. and
the additional votes. which will be Sc
cured on the subscriptions turned in
within the next ten days. will count
three times the usual amount they
have heretofore. This will be the best
offer for all candidates and every one
has an equal advantage.
The special offer has been made to
demonstrate who the active candidates
are who will stay in the race and wit
ness the last count made. Those who
wait and expect to come in later on
will be sadly disappointed unless they
have an especially strong backing. The
ones that make the best records dur
| ing the special offer will have the best
chance for winning out on the final.
| 1t is again requested that persons
| sending in the single coupons cut from
| the paper will trim them carefully and
| pin or tie them together so that they
| will be easy to assert and count. The
counting is very hard when they are
sent in loose. and it will be greatly ap-
preciated by the contest manager if
care is taken in sending them in re
quested.
| Any one who does not thoroughly
| understand the special vote offer, we
| will make it known by calling at the
office or writing the contest depart
ment and it will be explained fully.
| The special vote offer will apply to
| the Weekly Star as we'll as the Even
| ing Star. but not quite so many extra
votes will be given on clubs. Candi-
dates who secure clubs" of ten year
! ly subscriptions to the Weekly Star
will be given an extra ballot good for
| 10000 votes for each club The can
| didates out of town will doubtless get
| the largest number of weekly subscrip-
tions, but the city candidates will be
| allowed to get them If they can. No
one should lose sight of the fact that
the offer will continue for only ten
| days. The inducement is very liberal
and no candidate can afford to miss it
