DON'T BELIEVE FOOLISH RUMORS.
"You might as well quit" Miss
| heard about fellow whose uncle
knows a man who saw man who
said his father knew a man who told
him he had heard about contestant
who had over three million votes al
ready and who said she was going to
win if she had to spend a hundred
dollars"
And there you are. Right away
some of the candidates who are of the
easily discouraged kind come in with a
woe-begone expression and their
hearts full of gloom. Only the idle
rumor of ssome idle party who had
heard that some one knew a girl who
was fortunate enough to secure a
three year subscription.
In this contest, reports will doubt
less be circulated by enthusiastic
friends engaged in the support of their
candidates, about this and that candi-
date that has such big vote reserve
or about what they are going to do at
the last. In fact, already the contest
manager has heard about couple of
these reports and upon tracing them to
the source, found there was nothing to
them. These stories start up in ev-
cry contest but when it came to a
''show down" at the last. the contest
manager has found frbm experience in
past contests that it is ''all talk.
Your competitors are simply trying to
bluff you out. The reports which are
thus circulated will doubtless have a
tendency to chill the ardor of the work
ing contestants but the candidates are
hereby warned that such reports are
usually found to have been carefully
passed to the right parties to reach the
candidates strongest opponent, so
that candidates will become dlscour-
aged. Don't be easy; don't let your
competitor bluff you out. Just stick to
the finish and you'll find out that you
were badly worried about nothing.
JUST REMEMBER.
Votes cannot be bought. They must
be secured on subscriptions or clipped
from the paper.
Votes are positively not transferable
and no vote ballot will be issued in
blank. They must bear the name of
candidate before they leave this office.
There is NO POSSIBLE WAY that
anyone can find out how many votes a
candidate has in reserve unless that
candidate tells it herself. No one
knows how many any candidate has
not even the contest manager himself,
for no record is kept of the votes is
sued on subscriptions and they are not
counted until they are put in the ballot
box. Under the system which the
contest is conducted. it is bound to be
fair and square and every contestant
will have impartial treatment.
If you secured subscription earlier
in the conto st and can now get the
subscriber to pay more we will give you
the difference in votes. Send the print.
ed letters or call by telephone all OF
your friends that you cannot reach per-
sonally. We will furnish you all the
letters and receipt books that you neeC
and would advise you to send out
several hundred letters.
FRIENDS-YoU ARE NEEDED.
Are you a friend, relative or &C
quaintance of some candidate IN thil
big race. Do you realize that righ
now is the time that your subscription
is most needed for the Big 10000 vot,
offer of the contest is now in force.
You don't want to see your candidate
lose by just few votes, do you? No,
of course you don't. You wouldn't b.
friend if you did. Many and many &
prize has been lost in campaigns of thi!
kind by very small margin of votes
From present indications, this is going
to be very close race at the finish anC
perhaps just one subscription may
decide the winner of the big prize. Yet
would feel mighty mean if YOU
'favorite" lost the Pony and Outfit
just for lack of the votes your owl
subscription would bring and you hat
not handed in your subscription. DOM
