Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1913-05-14

With every contestant lining up
her forces and preparing for the fl
nal dash to the wire, THE GREAT
/ EST NEWSPAPER CAMPAIGN EV-
Err CONDUCTED IN ARIZONA. is
rapidly drawing to a close, and has
| now developed into matter of
hours. But four short days, ninety
six hours, of the contest remain,
and the thirty splendid prizes will
then become the property of thirty
OF Arlzona's most popular and ~ener-
| Setic young women. All indications
point to a furious finish, and effort
now is worth SO much more than it
! can ever possibly be again that even
the seconds remaining have a value.
| Throughout these four days the bat
| tie of ballots will wage throughout
Arizona, and not only this section
! but the entire state is interested in
| the outcome. This intense interest
which has now reached the fever heat
mark, is caused not only because of
| the many popular young women
competing, but because of the value
and magnificence of the prizes that
| will be awarded. No contest ever
conducted in the United States has
| offered prizes of any more desirable
| ty and never has such an array of
| splendid awards been given under
| such liberal conditions.
With such a short time remaining
T, practically every contestant realizes
that her time is of the greatest i'm
| portance and is determined to do
| her very best before the finish ar
riVes. NOW is the time you really
want to work, and work as you new
| or a6 haf0ra a
| of such magnificence that to forego
| the opportunity to win them, when
| they might be yours for a little eff
| fort during these closing days, would
/ be a crime.
| Do 1t Now
The expression DO 1T Now was
never more applicable to a case than
it is to yours right now. Make every
remaining moment count and if you
do not now see the logic of this
reasoning, you surely will when you
are receiving the congratulations of
your family and friends upon having
won and have for your very own
magnificent prize which is even snow
within your grasp. But four days
and i will be over. DO 1T NOW.
