The value of the two-vote coupon
which appears daily in THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL il fast becoming rec
ognized. It is rare exception where
a resident of Wilmington, does not
buy a local paper of some kind every
day and we believe THE EVENING
JOURNAL should be a daily visitor
in every home within the confines
of the contest The large vote thus
10 be accumulated, is Of no mean i'm
portance and this in conjunction with
the many opportunities to vote at the
numerous stores, is the power behind
the gun.
Every earnest campaigner should
20 on record with this two-vote cou-
pon issued by Wilmington's bright
est and newsiest paper, each day.
which at the same time contains the
news and every bit of local news
worth knowing.
That hustling band, the Jr. o. q.
A. NJ marches in front OF the ranks
this week, but the other contestants
are holding their own. The uncer-
tainty of an affair of this kind should
imbue everyone to put forth the most
masterful effort every week, every
day. every hour and every minute.
One single voter among tailenders
may have plans up his sleeve that viii
change the compilations of things en-
tirely. plans that he will not even
reveal to his most intimate friend for
fear that il will come to the surface
and be offset by contemporary SET
of workers.
Eden Lodge Of Odd Fellows occupies
second place in the list this week.
There seems to be a systematic enort
on the part of their powers felt IN
this friendly controversy over good
books. They are strong in numbers
and seem to be equally strong In the
spirit, a combination that on the face
Of II seems difficult to overcome. Other
contestants, however, are not over
looking their opportunities, for there
is correspondence on the contest
mans desk which shows many con-
testants are busily engaged at this
worthy task of voting. THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL coupon is doing rs
service and doing It well; II has
placed to the credit OF contestants
many thousands of votes.
The friends of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles are still plugging away un-
remittingly and we would not be sur
prised to see them spring into the
limelight any moment. il any coterie
of workers would make a mathemat-
ical estimate Of what tney could ac-
complish II their expenditures for one
week were devoted 10 the contest
stores in a united fashion. il could
easily be seen that the list could
master the existing majorities in a
fortnight. The Knights of Pythias,
Hope Farm and the Red Men made
notable gains this week. rhe contest
man expects great things from these
hustlers and the Premium Red Letter
Day which enabled them to diminish
the majorities against them no doubt
will be an incentive to these earnest
workers and next weeks tabulation
will find them closely hugging the
leader.
Wednesday of each week is Red
Letter Day and II the right sort OF
effort is put forth. the tide may be
turned even with the little time re-
naming.
All have an equal opportunity; you
have the merchant at your disposal
with his Red Letter day; with his
every other day and you have THE
EVENING JOURNAL at your dis.
posal with a valuable coupon. It's
up TO you. THE CONTEST MAN.
