Those who delay sending in
every possible subscription during
the first four Gays of this week are
overlooking the best thing of the
race. We have tried to make this
plain to all, and day after day en-
phasized the importance of doing
the bulk of the campaign work dur
ing this opportunity period, yet we
are constantly being asked If there
will not be netter offer after July
so. There will never again be an
offer that means as many votes
The schedule will be reduced exactly
as stated following Thursday, july
so, and from that time on, sub
seriptions viii count thousands OF
votes less.
Therefore it is the wise plan tc
send in all your subscriptions as
soon as possible and receive the big
double vote ballots on same.
List Being Reduced
As rapidly as possible the mac
tce candidates are being removed

desire of the contest department
