The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1919-10-16

With energy and enthusiasm I'M
diminished, candidates in the prize
campaign of The Pioneer are work.
ing overtime to secure the necessary
subscriptions which will entftle them
to the bonus votes and credit on the
gold offer. All day yesterday the
campaign Office was filled with a
steady stream of enthusiastic ones,
eager to turn in every subscription
ana get out for more, for many can
didates appreciate the liberality OF
the gold offer, that allows them to
secure as many clubs of collections
on new and old subscriptions as they
can, and do not intend to let the mat
ter rest with one. This Is surely the
time to make q mark in the cam
paign, and If you fail to take advant-
age Of it yours will be the loss. You
will have until 8 p. m. October rs to
secure the necessary subscriptions,
and now is the time to get them, as
they will never be of more help to
you than they are now, as the secur-
ing Of them may be the thing that
will win for you in the end.
Your Field The Wide Field.
You who think that your chances
are gone and that the field has been
we'll covered by other candidates
should pause a moment and think of
the many friends, former residents
of Bemidji in other PAGES who would
be glad to help you by paying years
subscription for news Of their former
home. Send these people letter to-
day. Many campaign has been won
by some ingenious candidate who ap-
pealed to his friends away from
home and thus secured votes where
others might have, but did not think
in time Also the field has not yet
been covered by any means. AL
though candidates have secured SUBJ
scriptions here and there, many and
many a new subscription, probably
enough to win an extra gold prize
for you, is lying almost at your very
door waiting for you to come after it.
Providence helps those who help
tn emselves, and likewise the world.
The one who goes after things is the
one who gets them. With such
field you should be able to not only
win prize, but win one of the. big
gest. No restriction is placed upon
you. Votes may be gathered and sub
scriptions secured wherever you can
get them.
Small Payments.
Here is an idea that may prove Of
vast assistance to you. No doubt you
have approached the subscribers at
the start of the campaign and they
have given a subscription for six
months. Visit these people again
and get them to pay the balance on
years subscription. In majority
of cases subscribers are willing to do
this, as they want the paper anyway
and they are willing to help you by
paying in advance for their period.
For example: A person who sub
scribes to The Pioneer for six months
and paid $3.50 receiving 5000 votes
for the subscription, by getting this
person to pay $3.50 additional you
will be given the difference between
the number Of votes allowed for a
years subscription and those allowed
for six months. When turning in
these always mark your stub second
payment"
Closing of Special Offer.
Do not lose sight of the fact that
the big extra gold and $4,000 bonus
club offer closes Saturday, October
25, ut 9 p. M Make every minute Of
yOnr time count from now until then
End don't lose second of it. II you
have secured one club, start right out
for another. Get as many clubs as
possible.
Your Attitude.
Make people whom you approach
for subscriptions feel that you are
out to win and want their help, and
refuse to be daunted by any obstacle
that may arise. 1t is only by sur
