BUT FEW DAYS LEFT
Of THE PIANO CONTEST
iiuSters for Instrument Must Put In
Best Work From Now on.
IT'S TIME TO GET BUSY.
Final Count Will Be Held on Monday.
June t7th. At 3 O'clock.

Now Listen, There is absolutely no
truth in the statement that this IS the
closed season for hunting subscriptions
TO the Oakland Republican. The law
(made by the Republican,, permits live
active aggressive contestants to hunt
subscriptions until the close Of the con-
test and there is bounty on them too.
For every new subscription brought in
a bounty Of 500 votes in Republicans
Popular Voting Contest Is paid. Some
happy Young lady is going TO march
away from The Republican Office in
Just short time wearing the smile that
won't come off, because that young
lady will have won the fine Obermyer 4
Sons piano.
There are only few more days left
of this contest. That means that the
race still belongs to anybody who has
Just little initiative. The fact of the
matter is that no one yet has such a
start that it could not be easily over
come in few days of consistent work.
This is certainly the most glorious op-
portunity that the Young ladies of this
community have ever had. Every con-
testant now thoroughly understands the
rules and methods of securing subscrip-
tons and the majority of them have
settled down in the earnest Jealous
work that climates idle dreaming and
means working for some definite point.
The aimless hap-haZard soliciting has
been dropped and a systematic cam
palgn for votes is now in progress.
You cannot tell how many votes a
candidate really has by the score that
was published, for the reason that the
iOrityr of apptactoptc uriSnlJy yOt-
ing but a small portion of their strength
thus keeping their real standing cover
ed up from their opponents. Bat the
score indicates those who can come TO
the front when the proper time comes.
There is no question but what every
one in and around Oakland has been
solicited, or at least, has heard about
this contest.
The better field for operation now lies
in the country, as practically every one
in the village is now a subscriber to the
paper-Or never Will be.
The contest department wants to urge
on every contestant the necessity for
making the next few days count for all
they are worth. The time is growing
short and it is only the real hustler who
will have much OF show after this issue

game with all the energy you can COM
mand from this time until the end.
And remember that the bonus on
clubs of seven will remain the same I'M
til the final count on Monday, June 18th,
at O'Clock. The answer is plain. Get
busy-and keep busy-from now on.
Remember all special bonus votes
count on the piano and other prizes just
the same.

bonus offer which will be good to and
including the final day which is June
