WEDNESDAY IS
BUSIEST DAY IN
BIG CAMPAIGN

More nominations, more votes and
more active entrants in the big sub
scription drive of The Times Recorder
was the record made Wednesday, and
today has been equally as busy and
as interesting for the campaign de-
partment.
The question that is being asked by
many at. this time is who are the
active ones among the ladies who have
been nominated and who are going to
really try for the prizes and cash
awards?" Out of the several hundred
who have been nominated many have
mentioned their intention to take
part in the great drive, while many
others are undecided. Still others in
the list of nominees are receiving
votes every day but are taking no part
at all. They have not ordered their
names withdraw from the list and
therefore there is nothing to do but
let these names remain, crediting and
publishing the votes received.
AS the campaign now stands, it looks
very much as though hundred or
more of the ladies who have been
nominated in the two districts will

BY taking an active part is meant tina;
they will allow their names to remain
among the entrants and will, when
convenient, ask their friends to vote
for them and assist the Times Record
er in doubling it's present circulation.
That is the spirit predominating this
drive and If there are those who at
tempt to make a canvass" out of it,
they will find that they are wasting
time to a certain extent, for they will
continually be running into friends of
other contestants. Each lady has her
own circle of friends to a certain ex-
tent and to interest such friends and
get them to interest others is about
as much as any one will accomplish
in this campaign of friendly rivalry
among such large number
The saving of the coupons in the
paper, good for 500 votes for each
coupon clipped, to be given to any of
the ladies, is the vote that is playing
the greatest part in the campaign at
this time. Some subscriptions are be-
ing paid and the votes given, but the
greatest subscription paying will start
within a short time or as soon as it
is better known who the active CON
testants are.
The coupons that have been dated
Void after March Is" should all be
in the office or in the mails by 10
O'Clock Saturday night, March 10. En-
trants who live in the country and
have no way of mailing the coupons
until the Monday morning mail car
rier comes along may do so and have
them credited properly when they are
received at the office.
Those who are going to take part
IN the subscription drive should, if pos
sible, get in a club of at least $1,000
In subscriptions on or before Satur-
day night The first offer of the cam
paign expires at that time 100000 ex-
ira votes are offered on the first club
of $1,000 besides the regular vote for
each subscription that goes to make
up the club. The extra votes are
limited and only the 100000 will be is
sued to any one contestant up to and
including the coming Saturday. This
will give all who take advantage of
the offer and equal start in the cam
paign Those who have turned in their
FIRST one-year subscription and receiv-
ed the 100000 extra votes have to OBJ,
tain only one more year subscription
or its equivalent, two six-months or
four three-months, to the daily or four
One-year subscriptions to the weekly.
