Considerable interest was aroused
by the publication yesterday of the
initial list Of competitors entered In
the Telegram's Prize and Travel Club
Campaign. Comments had been free
ly made before the publication of the
list, but at no time were they SO fre-
quent and favorable as since the
names of the fighting competitors
were made known.
Few, IL any, sections OF this part of
the state but what are represented
and today's list contains the names
OF others who have entered the race.
The nomination period has not
closed, and will not be closed for
some time to come. In fact, anyone
may enter the race at any time. but
those who start the race In the begin
ming will have the best opportunity to
win one of the magnificent prizes.
Each one In the race starts of with
1000 votes. the number allowed on
each nomination. No candidate is
allowed more than one nomination
ballot, but anyone can get as many OF
the twenty-five coupon votes as he is
able to collect from his friends. Later
this coupon will be decreased in value
and 1t behooves each competitor to
put forth his best licks now and get
as many Of them as possible. But
any subscription payment will entitle
you to more votes than you can get
by gathering coupons. Save them,
and save them all, but don't overlook
the idea Of getting subscriptions.

subscription as soon as you can se-
cure 1t.
The people of Clarksburg un. SUR
rounding territory know that the
prizes are magnificent and worth the
hustle, and the competitors are the
most popular and aggressive ever
grouped together in a friendly con-
fict. Though many OF the nomina-
tions were made by the competitors
themselves, a large number were sent
In by interested friends entirely with
out the knowledge of the competitors
nominated.
Those VINO wish to win one Of the
magnificent prizes should start at
are several urgent and compelling
reasons why a competitor should
make an early start. In the first
place, 1t takes only hundred Of the
twenty-five coupons to give competi-
tor total Of $500 votes.
By delaying the start you may lose
these coupon votes and they might be
the votes necessary to win one Of tho
touring cars.
In the second place the time Of. the
ccmpaign has been divided into
periods, and more votes are given for
subscriptions under the first period
bonus vote schedule than will be Civ
en- under the second and third. The
difference between first period and
second period amounts to about ten
per cent, which might make the dit
ference between success and defeat at
the finish. Moreover. the field is now
cleanest for the canvass, and subscrip-
tons can now be secured in greatest
number. for longest time and with
the least effort. It is golden har-
vest which will insure the victory at
the end.
1t Is the easiest thing in the world
to secure subscriptions for the Tele-
gram, the popular paper Of the COM
munity, preferred by all for the
superiority of its local and Associated
Press news service, and its special
