Arizona republican., 1913-04-23

The fifth week of The Republicans Big Circulation Campaign is now well under way, with practically every can didate in the list putting forth her very best efforts for success. Those who stand highest in the contest are those who are securing subscriptions, and if you expect to win, you should lost no time in sfollowing in their footsteps. There is no time like the present, and the present will not come back. What one candidate has done another can do equally as well, and if you really desire one of. these handsome prizes, now is the time to make certain of your success in securing the one you have selected. F
 With but a little over three weeks remaining in the campaign, practically every contestant has begun to lay her plans for the final struggle, and an exciting finish is looked for, and it is not wise for any contestant to cease her efforts, but to get every vote pos sible, who when the end comes and the prizes are awarded, she will be satis- fled that she has done her best and has
 
 lives.
 Contestants and their friends are bubbling over with enthusiasm, and The Republican campaign is the sole topic of conversation in many homes.
 Every candidate should make it point to read carefully each day the contest page of The Republican, as daily instructions to candidates are printed there and without paying strict attention to this information a candi- date may lose much valuable help. DOES NOT WANT FIRST PLACE. One of the candidates who has worked hard from the start of the campaign, but who has never desired to be in first place in her district, writes the Contest Manager as follows:
 T am not afraid of the finish if I can only keep within reach of the top. l just know my friends will come to the front when they see I am going to be among those right at the top. For the present I don't care to be the leader in my district. I will try for first place within a few days of the close and take what I can get as the local candidate-and from some people
 
 a test between my town and some other place."
 That's the politics of it. The can vass is in such condition that it is any body's race in any of the districts. But smart work is going to be done and candidates are going to put forth their very best efforts which will count just as high in this contest as it would in any competition where the prizes were worth thousands of dollars more than the splendid awards we are going to give away within such a short space of time.
 Every mail brings in votes for the contestants and all day long interested friends of candidates and candidates themselves bring in votes for their fav- orites and themselves. The contest'i is certainly gaining ground each day. Right now more people are interested more keenly in this affair than in any thing that has been held in the state in years, and practically every person in Phoenix and throughout the state will become just as deeply interested within the new three weeks.
 No one is losing hope and the differ
  ing, as it means but a single new year. ly subscription. Any candidate in the list could, by securing few new sub Scriptions, become a top-notcher in a day. There are more than three weeks remaining in which to secure the sub- scriptions that will enable you to claim your reward on May IT. THERE ARE NO LOSERS IN THIS CAMPAIGN. EVERY ONE IS A WINNER. By se- curing two or three new yearlies right now you could close the gap that sep arates you from the top, even though this difference may appear to be big enc now.@ And when you take your places the leader in your district, you are certain to receive much help from interested friends that will prove of vast assistance and may be the means of your winning the prize you most desire. A great many people are wait ing to help the young women and are only waiting to be asked before decid- ing to whom to give their help, so it is imperative that those who expect to figure in the prize winning lose none of this help.
 Subscriptions continue to pile i1 from every section of the territory covered by this contest, and yesterday was another big day in issuing votes. In fact, they are all getting to be big days now and promise to be even greater before the next week is under way.
