The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1914-06-18
Big Vote Is Being Cast In
The Pioneers Popular
Voting Contest.
NEXT COUNT, JUNE 27.
Still Plenty of Time and Op
portunity to Win This
Fine Upright Piano.

But short time intervsnss between
now and the date of the next count of
ballots in The Pioneer popular vot.
ing contest, and when the count is
made on the evening of June 9th the
vote will show some surprising gains.
A hard fight is being made by the
leaders to get the coveted position at
the head OF the long list, and ballots
are falling in large numbers daily,
each mail bringing envelopes filled
with ballots and subscriptions, while
the merchants coupons are pouring in
ell the time.
From the efforts being put forth by
the leaders there 10 apt to bs an entire
change in their positions. and just who
will get In the lead is difficult to say.
Indications are that the vote will be
very close. Those down on the list
are also making efforts to better their
standing and are hustling here, there
and everywhere to get votes.
There are many residents of Hope
who have not yet subscribed to The
Pioneer, and who are only waiting for
some friend to ask them. Candidates
can get many subscriptions by asking
their friends and acquaintances to
help them in the contest: Seven new
yearly subscriptions paid up will give
the contestant $4,000 votes, and will
make them factors in the race for the
prizes. A s4OO upright piano is worth
the time and energy in trying to win,
and as no more than one candidate
can be the winner Of the capital prize,
there is still chance to win one of
the handsome prizes which the mer.
chants will donate. A little earnest
work will land the big prize for some-
body. To those persons who have
not subscribed to The Pioneer we will
give gentle hint. Do it now. There
certainly is one candidate in the list
in whom you are more or less inter-
ested and who would appreciate the
help you would give her by sending
your subscriptions to this Office and
asking that the votes be credited to
her. As to the value of The Pioneer
as newspaper, there are hundreds OF
readers who will tell you all about II
and will say more for it than the pub.
fishers would, because the latter are
really too modest.
Merchants coupons, counting q
votes, can be procured with every cash
purchase amounting to one dollar al
any Of tho leading stores in Hope.
These coupons may be collected
from any and all merchants who are
in the contest. The names of the mer
chants who are giving handsome
prizes and helping to make this con
test a big success, are as follows:
