 OPPORTUNITY
The Republicans Offer of Free Pianos to SOuthside Candidates in Subscrip- tion Contest Is As Novel As It Is Inviting

iS your nomination. in? 4tavA YOU planned to cincn the 800 votes that go with the nomination filing, just as an earnest of the good will of The Republican, which proposes to help you in every way possible in the securing of one of those magnificent Waldorf pianos? If not it is high time you got into the running for others are already busy
 This talk is directly to the residents of the south side, and mainly to the young women for they are usually the ones who most desire pianos though there is no bar to a mar rled woman or an old bachelor. What The Republican wants is subscrip- tions and it has made this splendid offer to get them. Pianos cost money and high class instruments such as the Waldorf, bearing the guarantee of the RedeWill Music company, cost plenty of it. But having confidence in it's own desira ability as a newspaper for the people, The Republican feels that its patronage on the south side may very easily be increased suffi- ciently to make this offer good business investment and certainly fine one for the hustling solicitors who enter the contest for the pianos, and who will not be called upon to eXpend cent. All they have to do is to circulate among their neigh bors and friends and GET the sub scrptiOns
 Now word about the novelty of this offer. This is the first time any Phoenix newspaper has made special contest inducement for the benefit of the south siders. Various newspapers, including The Republi- can, have had contests before, but always there has been the compe- tition of the more popuious portions of the valley. South side contest ants have had a limited field and more frequently than otherwise have been discouraged by the competition of Phoenix and vicinity Even though the valley or the state were divided into districts and special prizes were offered for each, the field of the solicitor was filled with the con testants elsewhere
 In this contest one piano will go to a resident of Mesa City and ono to a resident of Tempe and there is NO COMPETITION elsewhere But the field is open. You who enter may solicit ANYWHERE ON EARTH. Get your subscribers in Phoenix. Alaska or Kalamazoo as we'll as in your own district. The only point is to GET them. You will be credited with your votes wherever they come from.
 Another point: Don't overlook that fnr nual subscriptions, or the equal of them in greater number of shorter term subscriptions. File your nom ination at once and follow it up with a club and you have 1o.5OO votes for starter. Read the rules in the big ad and ponder over them. It will be worth while Perhaps you have given this matter casual attention already and decided that you wouldn't bother about it. Better look again. There is novelty in this offer and a fine chance to win. It's different.
 And there's another point The fair is coming on pretty soon and Phoenix will be full of people, not only from all over the state but from other states and it will be big op- portunity for the display of your energy You will have a bigger field for your operations than was ever offered before by any newspaper m Arizona. and there will be fewer contestants unless all the south side people conclude to enter And nobody can blame them if they do for it's an unusual offer, a fair field and a free competition
 But first of all work your home district. That is what the contest was primarily arranged for and II there is a southsider who does not read The Republican after November 2 when this campaign ends, it will be a safe gamble that he is either Ll;xl can't road anything
