WAY TO WIN ONE OF TIE
PRIZES rs TO GET VOTES.
Get Out In Elaraess and Let Your
Ersaads Know That You Are in
the Race TO Win.
Today viii be yesterday tomorrow
and one to-day" is worth scores OF
yesterdays" So far no one has
Hade. much of a start in the exciting
race, which will be run for the mag
nifcent prizes which The Times and
Democrat Is Offering in its Popularity
Contest.
Soon, however, someone Is going
tas get feverish interest in collect
i1,t: subscriptions, ana they will go
TO everyone they think OF (your
friends as well as their own) and
ask FOR aid. You should see your
friends at once and ask them to help
yuu by paying up or subscribing.
OF course the contest has only
begun, and while a few nominations
come In every day why not get yours
In before that Of some Of your friends
and get started before they get ahead
OF you? It will be just little more
strenuous every day as the time goes
by. why not do the successful thing
In the simplest way?
You could enter late and win the
prize you want, but it would be at
the expense of little more hurry, q
little more worry and the annoyance
OF having your own friends tell you
that they had already given their
subscription to some one else, as they
did not know you were going to be o
candidate. -
The purpose Of the contest is to
add to the list Of subscribers. We
want your aid in getting them. We
know we can do the rest. Once q
subscriber, always subscriber and
n is the votes, and nothing but the
votes that will decide who are win
ners Of the prizes which will be
awarded on the closing day Of the
contest.
What we want Is the energetic
candidates, who will make the race
exciting for the contestants and inter-
esting to the public. We want you
TO see every one in your section, and
induce them to try The Times and
Democrat il they are not now taking
e, or pay up IL they are now taking
d.
Some who have sent In inquiries
seem to think that they have not
time enough to devote to a success"
ful campaign. We want to convince
yon that these prizes may be won
with votes secured during your leas-
ure moments. You are not asked to
neglect your regular occupations.
That would be expecting too much.
We want to establish the friend
lest feeling between every one In
this section. We can think Of no
way to please you so we'll as to offer
you one Of these prizes. If we did
not treat you fair and square during
the entire contest, We should certain
ly loose your regard. Now do not de.
lay longer, but send IN your nomi-
nation. ~. ~ @1's F..t
Remember chat this contest Is con-
Quoted on. the fairest of plans, be-
cause we do not give any bonus
votes away to any one. Sc everyone
who enters it will have the same
chance to capture one Of the prizes by
working for new subscribers or get
ting old subscribers to pay up. The
candidate who succeeds best at this
viii win. -
The reason why we oppose bonus
votes is because it gives those with
the most money the greatest advan-
tage. Bonus votes are generally CIV
en- away for 8. certain number Of new
subscribers, and they are generally
offered towards the end OF the con-
test, when subscribers are hard to
get because the field has been pretty
we'll worked over.
Some candidate with plenty of
money, in order to get the big bonus
vote offered for new subscribers,
pays for them out Of their own pock-
cts, and gets the bonus votes, and
often wins the prize, shutting out the
hard-worked candidates who can
not afford to put up money for sub
scribers out of their own pockets.
That Is why we will not offer bonus
votes for any purpose. No one shall
have chance to buy up the prizes In
this contest by spending their own
money freely, and shutting out the
candidates who cannot afford to
spend money on the contest, but
have to work for what votes they get.
There Is no objection, or course,
to candidates advancing money for
a subscriber II they feel 80 inclined,
but only the regular number Of votes
will be allowed for such subscribers.
All the candidates can rest assured
that they will have the same chance
to win the prizes in this Popularity
