The big campaign Of the South Ds.
kots newspapers and South Dakota
Panama Pacific Exposition Commission
Will end on February Oath. Tue time
Is short but 1t is long enough for any.
one to win. However, the argument
will no doubt, OCCUR in many minds
that the time is not long enough to
win.
But there is no argument that csn-
not be combatted; and this one in par
stcular is the easiest kind to dispose of
II people will be reasonable minded
enough to consider 1t. Listen. A
good successful contest could be opsr.
sted In the time that is left for this
one I'm fact. ten days to two weeks is
about the most there is to any contest)
but for the fact that It takes most peo-
pie month or two to make up their
minds to get at It, consequently,
enough time has to be allowed in the
drst place to Offset such drawback.
It is true that this campaign has run
most OF the time that was intended for
1t, but the time that has passed is no
proof that the time that is left is not
enough for anyone, regardless Of pres.
eat standings, to whit is the neglect
OF chat time gone by that makes tho re.
msintng time Of this campaign the win.
ming time. and it is actually sufficient
tor anyone, who will take proper sd.
vantage OF It and work, to mako good.
Doing nothing bnt argue with your.
s'lf that "you have no chsnoe," mo
such luck for you," "someone way
ahead and holding back" and q lot
more empty contentious of that kind.
is the one thing that has done more to
beat people out of their own opportun.
ities than competition-to boil this
down, 1t means that people more often
beat themselves than are beaten bv
others and it's also fact that many
times people have won simply because
OF lack Of reasonable competition.
1t is also true that several candidates
have made Showing, some Of them
some personal effort, but it is no good
reason Why others should hesitate-the
faot that some have got results is the
best evidence in the world that there
are results to get-in tact. the business
that will win is still In the aeld-any-
one-you, yourself-could get it; bot
there Is only one way to get it and that
- to 60 after it and keep after IL as
long - there is any time to do it,
Now then, II you have done some
worS, the thing to, do is to keep on
working and work harder than you
have ever worked before-do not take
chance on little getting you through
just because you may have little COM
petition now. you have not done
anything up to now, even IL your name
has not appeared in the nomination
lists, for the short time that remains.
and the actually good opportunities
that time holds, it may be worth your
while to devote that time, or some, Of
it-whstever you can spare--to trying
for these grand rewerds.
Do not conflne your efforts to merely
trying for the trip-remembsr the three
oars-aim high, make your goal one Of
those sutomobiles-a candidate on this
paper has as good q chance Of winning
oae OF them a. candidates on any other
paper-whfle two, or even three Of the
o.rs could come here, so that there Ia
more than one opportunity to win.
Again. We say. keep going oil tho
time; If you have not started to 60 yet,
do 1t nowhere is nothing to lose, on
the other hand there is great deal to
sdn-more than you could hope for in
the same length Of time in any other
way, outside Of miracle, and, what IL
this time worth to you otherwise?
Here are the candidates and stand
everyone is credited with 10000
points on nomination, thereafter 200
points for every dollar collected-any
names omitted may be reinstated ON
request or new nominations may be
msde ct any time-snd an easy mental
calculation will readily show that IL is
worth while. From now till February
q Is GO. long, hrs !s'e long encnsh and
that time holds an opportunity Of Q
possible earning Of nearly $4,000
How about It? Gan you afford 10 let II
