The campaign department received
a .etier from one Of the candidates
in which she stated that she had
M.ltten to all of her friends who had
promised her subscriptions later on In
the campaign, and had impressed
upon them the importance OF giving
their subscriptions to her this week.

advantage as during this time. No

day night. at 10 o'clock. they will
not have overlooked a single new sub

prizes. The second prize is $50 in gold,
and the third and fourth prizes are
s25 each 1t may ba that the race
for the extra cash prizes will be
close and one more subscription may
mean the difference between the $50
cash prize and the $50 cash prize.
In that event this one subscription
would be a very valuable one. indeed.

the safe thing to do Is for every
candidate to get in every new sub.
