The roundup record. [volume] (Roundup, Mont.) 1908-1929, 1913-08-01

next Thursday, August 7th, the grand
free automobile contest may be said
to be fairly under way 1t will then
be month since issuing votes was
first started and If there is any por-
tion of Musselshell county as well as
adjoining counties to which the news
of the great contest has not penetrat-
ed The Record would like to hear of it.
New candidates still have a week in
which to make up their minds to get
into the race. The past week has seen
several new entries in the contest,
and it is expected that before the nom-
nations close there will be still more
names added to the list. There is
nothing difficult or involved about en-
teriNs the race and after one is enter
ed there are MO confusing details.
Really about the only things a cdndi-
date has to bear in mind is that each
dollar on new or renewal subscrip-
tions to The Roundup Record carries
1000 votes, and each dollar collected
on back subscriptions carries 1000
votes; that every penny spent at the
stores interested in the contest en-
titles you to one vote; that on the pay
ment of old accounts incurred before
the contest started votes will be issued
at the rate of three for one cent; that
due bills sold by candidates carry 200
votes for every dollar; and that the
automobile goes absolutely free to the
candidate having the greatest num-
ber of votes at the close of the con-
test.
Candidate is the General
Each candidate in this contest may
we'll be likened to general Such
then she really is for all candidates
have friends who are interested in
their success. These friends. however,
are comparable to the rank and file of
the army-without general or organ
izer half their efficiency is lost. 1t is
the part of the candidates to organize
their friends by their own personal
efforts.
The success of the candidate de-
pends largely on the degree to which
that candidate can interest and excite
her friends and it should be remem-
bered by all candidates that the world
loves a tryer. Show your friends that
you are interested and they will rally
to your support like an army to it's
leader. Go about your campaign In a
half.hearted, lack-a-dasical fashion and
your attitude will surely find reflection
in your friends. Take your candidacy
in earnest! II you do not, no one else
will.
Easy to Get Subscriptions
"Why, didn't know you were in
this contest until saw your name," is
the surprised and expressive greeting
of many friends of candidates when
they are met the first time after q can.
didates name has appeared in the list
of contestants. THIS manifest interest
means that they wish to see you win
and will gladly do what they can to
assist you. This is why it is import
ant to enter the race as early as posi-.
BILE. Enter before your friends are
helping someone else.
1t doesn't cost one cent to enter; it
costs your friends nothing to vote for
you. 1t is all matter of the amount
/ of energy you are willing to put into
your campaign. Subscriptions are
easy to obtain. Nor Is it difficult to
induce people to trade at Marshall's,
Dean & Skeie's and Blair's. The quail
| ity Of the goods they sell is SO we'll
knc wn to be the best at all times that
the work Of the candidates is made
particularly easy.
Don't Forget
Dop't forget for a minute that it is
the active candidate who is going to
| win. A candidate should not be con-
tent with merely seeing that the votes
