The Capital Journal takes little stock
in popular voting contests. conducted
by newspapers to boom their sub
seriptiOn lists. As matter Of fact, the
subscribers pay for the prizes awarded,
and the rightfu winner does not al
ways get what she wins. We prefer to
make low subscription price, cutting
out the expensive prizes, and give our
patrons the direct benefit of the re-
duced price Of the paper.
Few persons, outside Of newspaper
offices, know just how these contests
are conducted, so that the following
article which apeared recently in the
Editor and Publisher will be of inter
est to our readers:
II. II. Fris, circulation manager Of
the FL Paso (Tex) Herald, whose lucid
and yoluminons condemnation Of cir
eulation contests was given room, ac-
cording TO its strength, in The Editor
and Publisher of November T. writes
that he has received numerous cOmmuni-
cations from all over the country re-
garding his article and favors MS with
a few more intensive words along the
same line.
II will be noticed that Mr. Fris has
not materially altered his opinion re.
garding contests.
"Long experience and careful in
vestigatiOn have made me opposed to
voting contests to secure newspaper
circulation, for many and good reasons.
have never vet seen such a contest
that ended satisfactorily to the publica-
tion or to the people interested. Con
duct it is fairly as you can and YOU will
make enemies that ] firmly believe are
of sufficient harm to the paper to off
set anv advantages that may accrue as
n result Of temporarily increased cir.
culation or inflated revenue. This is
my principal objection, but there are
others and greater ones.
cone Of the very strong objections
TO such a contest is that it is usually
put on by some specialist who is
stranger to the community and without
financial or personal interest in your
paper The sole object Of the 'spc.
ciaist' is to make as much money from
the contest as possible as soon as
possible, and his methods are too often
those that reflect in an unsayory man
ner upon the paper for months after he
has closed the campaign and gone to
other regions. The reaction comes and
the paper feels it. For the time being,
the contest may add several hundred
or several thousand subscribers TO the
list, but it is not substantial circula'
ton not circulation that stays, and
the methods resorted to by the 'spe'
cialisv in coaching the contestants are
such as to universally place it in the
category of things that should be sup
pressed.
81 have given this matter much
thought, in personal contact, and afar.
I have been connected with papers dur
ing the conduct of such campaigns and
afterwards; ] have closely studied the
operations of such contests on opposi'
tion papers and in every way tried to

Popular Subscription Voting Contests
and the Way They Are Conducted

see all that is good in them, and have
failed in every particular. ] would
outlaw them all. The work of securing
newspaper circulation is legitimate and
can be conducted upon business prin
ciples, and this is the only method that
is permanently successful. The circu-
lator of the paper should direct the
work of all his agents or employees, and
he can do it in such a way that it will
not be Of temporary, but Of lasting
benefit. In this way, he is able to look
after the interests Of the paper and of
those brought into the fold as sub
scribers, neither of which interest the
contest man has at heart. 1t is a
mistake to farm out a papers good
name to the travelling 'sjecialist with
his voting contest schemes.
$50 much odum has been attached
to these contests that many of the
State Legislatures have taken up the
matter with a view TO the passage Of
statutes prohibiting them. At the last
annual convention Of the /. G. NJ A. on
the Great Lakes one of the delegates
made the statement that Florida had
already put the official ban upon such
contests. In Texas. the last session Of
the legislature had the matter mp for
consideration, but the law was defeated
by the efforts of one or two publishers,
One Of these had a contest in progress
three months later, and, before it was
over, he received his lesson, The man
conducting the contest swiudled a num-
Der of the contestants and slipped out
of town with the last day receipts in
his pocket.
"As / said in the beginning, the con
tests are bad enough y conducted non
estly. but when they are not-and this
is usually the rule rather than the eX'
ceplion-they are little, if any, short of
criminal Even a contest conducted as
fairly as possible more than likely will
bring out charges of unfairness, Of
swindling and of selling out The dis
appointed ones will invariably charge
fraud. So much of it has been prac'
ticed that they have n right to be
suspicious, hence | say that any paper
conducting such contest is taking
chances on losing the good will of
large number Of people, and is laying
itself open to severe criticism and
charges Of dishonesty.
"The plans Of the professional con
test mcn--the specialist they so often
call tncmselvcs-are scarcely ever laid
upon anything except deception. Let

Rcconstructive forces are steadily at
work. This is noticeable in many di.
rections; and Wall Street S leaders with
sure instinct and even surer knowledge
have been disconting industrial re-
covery. For the very decided change
from despair to courage which has TAX.
en- place since January, many reasons
have been advanced; chief Of these be.
ing as repeatedly stated in these ad.
vices, lcssened hostility to big business,
the successful establishment of the fed
cral reserve system the adjustment Of
our finances TO war basis and a
growing belief that The end OF the war
is not far distant. The war will prove
fave able factor in keeping the eX.
travagant American people ut home

200 millions from being spent in Eu.

of which will be vastly important To
such favorable conditions as these must
now be added the proved soundness e.
business in the United States and the
wide preparedness 10 respond to any
new and encouraging influences.
General business already shows posi-.
tive improvement; slight it may be,
but real nevertheless; and there are
excellent reasons for anticipating its
continuance. The country mas been

man upon whom initiative depends
knows to his s0rrow what deterrent
factor apprehension has been in the
last few months. Many people, particu.

more than was necessary; the result
being increased savings which must now
come out either in the investments or
larger purchases of some sort. When
the purse strings are lOOsened and the
number of unemployed is decreased, all
kinds Of merchandise must pass more
freely into consumption; hence one
must look for better distribution in

tiem about the same line Of talk;
Now. Miss Soand.So, there is no pos
sible chance for you to lose. ! know
you will win the grand prize. The
other girls in the contest are dead
ones. " You are the only live one in
the bunch. If it is not this, it S some
thing similar-and the same thing to
all.
'"True, as in every profession or vO'
cation, there are some honest contest
managers, but the requirements of the
contest system make fair dealing al
most impossible, Out of tne 100 or
200 names that appear as workers in
the contest advertisements, only a
small number are active after the fifth
week of the contest. The others, for
one reason or another, have dropped
out. The schedule of votes is printed
each day, but from the number Of the
votes one cannot get an idea as to the
running. The contest man generally
runs the names of tie girls who are get
ting discouraged at the head of the
list, and keeps the winners far down.
TO do this he issues hold back re.
ccipts, to put them in the ballot box on
the last night OF the contest. The con
test man tells these hard working girls
TO get these secret 'Iod.back receipts
for votes when they turn in their sub
scriptOns. He also instructs each one
of these girls not to tell anyone how
many votes she is holding. He does
not wish this information to get to the
other contestants. Consequently, the
contest manager is the only one who
knows what the actual vote is.
When the contest is drawing to a
close, if the contest man has not al
ready fixed it with Me of the con.
testants to win the grand prize, he
will pick out the girl who has the
father, brother, or friend with the nee.
ossary money, and tell MIN that the
girl has only one chance to win and
that it takes $780, 500 or $500 to win
the first prize. The man with the mon.
ey, if he is easy then asks: Can you
guarantee the first prize if l put that
money in the box on the closing night p
The contest man S answer is; Mr..
SO.and-So, if you put in that money,
and your girl does not win, | will give
her an automobile, same make, and
model as We offered for tae grand
prize.
1.-The contest man has it now all
fixed. Miss So-and.So will win the
grand prize But on the day before the
close Of the contest, Mr.. Contest Man
ager looks up each Of the girls in turn,
and the same story goes to all. 1t is
this, or something similar: Now, look
here, Miss So.and-Sa you want to
come across with at least so much
more business to enable you to get
look in on this grand prize. With
this line Of talk he scares the life out
of them and they get busy. Not all of
them, but most Of them, get what they
can from their friends, and they them
selves put in bunch Of their personal
money before the close, each being led
to believe that she has cnance.
"Then the judges start counting
votes. Within a few hours the win.
ners are announced. Miss So.and.So
wins the grand prize. This is the girl
