If you are at the bottom of the
list get busy and win one of these
ballots and go to the top. If you are
among the leaders capture one of
these ballots and "Cinch" the Com
panionship Tour. The winners of
these ballots will not be announced
until the last week of the contest, but
will be mailed direct to the lucky
candidate.
You must realize by this time that
the vote is growing smaller as each
week passes. Last week more votes
were given for a single subscription
than ever before. as each period
closes you must work that much
harder to secure as many votes as you
did at first. While at first glance
this offer may seem large, yet it is
not near as easy as the opportunity
offer of a couple of weeks ago. On
the other hand there are forty large
ballots to be awarded this week.
VIII you get the first or the last ?
It's up to you. The Tour manager
will write which ever one you show
you want. These ballots will be
awarded regardless of district.
Does money turned in on new
subscriptions toward the $4,000
bonus votes also apply on e 400,-
600 ballot competition?"
Such were the substance of ques-
tions put to the tour manager yester-
day. The answer is yes, and every
candidate should secure every posi-
BILE new subscription this week and
also collect up on every available old
subscription.
The winning of one of the big
competition ballots and the securing
of number of the new business bal
lots for $4,000 votes each, means
much toward victory on January 80
Just think of 100000 ballot, and
you get it all for one weeks work
This is the opportunity for the
weaker" candidates to make a big
killing just this one week.
Some say that they are working
hard and they are proving what they
say by the number they are turning
| in. They are taking advantage oi
the six days new business and com.
petitive offers.
| Now, what these cheerful candi.
dates can do can be done just as vel
by those who are crying that theil
work is over for lack of field to work
in. If others can get subscriptions
! why can't you? Don't let other can,
didates get the advantage of you by
| the simple method of ''try, try
again especially during this week.
The Bermuda Tours and Prizes il
this contest are meant for you. VIII
it. A contest is an enterprise fol
those in it to work-not part of the
! time-but from the start until the
close.
A Question for Candidates.
/ A question for all candidates t.
ask themselves at the close of eacl
/ day is: Did / do all that was posi-
BILE to gain votes to-day?'
If you cannot honestly answer il
! the affirmative then you are not do
ing we'll enough and you should de
eide firmly to improve tomorrow.
Some newspaper contests whicl
have been conducted in this part o
the country have been arranged 81
that contestants with money had the
advantage over those who depended
upon hard work to win the prize
For instance, in one contest vote
have counted double during the las
week of the contest. This easill
made it possible for a candidate wht
had money to spend it during the las
day and smother the candidate wht
had been working hard throughou
the contest.
In order that nothing of this sor
may happen in THE CITIZENS con
test it is hereby announced that NJ
bonus votes or special inducement
of any kind will be allowed during
the last few days of the contest
There will positively be no deviation
from this announcement.
