The manner in which the candi-
dates in the Pioneer campaign began
the present week with a rush was
inspiring for Saturday a continual
stream of callers came to the cam
paign headquarters of The Pioneer,
while the mails brought a greater
batch of letters than usual. It speaks
volumes for the determination these
candidates are displaying and fore
shadows a great victory for the ear
nest ones. .
This campaign is rapidly develop
ing into the biggest affair of the
year, and numbers of sensational
spurts are expected before the end
Of the week. The 100000 club offer
is stirring up great enthusiasm. It
will be the stepping stone for many
of the candidates from the very bot
tom to dominant positions among
the leaders, and the means Of Sc
curing thousands of votes which
they may retain in their posses
sion until later on in the CAM
paign. They are good at any
time. This is also true Of the regular
votes issued on new and old subscrip-
lions. In some cases it is perhaps a
good idea to keep substantial num-
Der of votes back in order to make
use of them at such times when the
race gets to be a little faster than
usual.
Why a Reserve.
Like every big financial institu-
ton, every great nation, every great
business, it. is sometimes essential to
have a reserve on hand. A bank
maintains a reserve in order to draw
upon it when the need arises. The
nation has it's military and naval re-
serve, and the business houses have
their monetary reserve to iquidate
obligations when they can not realize
from other sources. And so it is
with candidates in this campaign. A
reserve is necessary adjunct to any
successful enterprise; it should be a
part of the campaign work of every
candidate, for reserve fund Of votes
can be drawn upon when the need of
making good showing arises.
This does not mean, though, that
subscriptions should be withheld, for
these should be brought in as they
are secured. Candidates will receive
their votes ballots promptly. =,
ii When q, candidate is informed, by q
person from whom a subscription is
obtained, that the paper is not being
delivered regularly, or fails to show
up at all, complaint should be made
to INSTRUMENTATION department of The
Pioneer. A notification to that de-
fcation Of errors and bring the paper
promptly.
Keep Posted.
Every issue of The Pioneer should
be read carefully by the candidates,
for in the news columns, appearing
daily, events of the campaign and
many suggestions are offered, and
points clarified, that will enable can
didates to pursue their efforts with
clear understanding of all their
phases.
