ONLY THREE MORE DAYS LEFTO
LAST PRIZE BALLOT AND CLUB
OFFER In The GREAT CAMPAIGN

After today there remain only three
more days for candidates in The
es-Recorder's big subscription
campaign to get in subscriptions that
will count on the last prize and club
vote offers.
The prize ballots are ten in num-
Der, from 100000 votes up to one mil
lion votes, and are to be given to the
ten candidates who turn in the larg-
est amounts for the two weeks ending
April 10, regardless of districts, or
of what has been turned in before. For
instance, if candidate in either dis
trict who had turned in very little
during the earlier part of the cal
paign should turn in the largest
amount during these two weeks, she
would have awarded to her the high
est prize ballot, which is one million
extra votes, over and above the regu
lar and club votes on the individual
subscriptions.
The club vote, which is now run
ming, and which is also the last one
of the campaign, is 100000 to the club
of $4,000. There is no limit on the
number of clubs any candidate may
send in. This offer also closes with
the last prize ballots, on the night OF
April 10. 1t is understood in all the
offers that close on Saturday night
that candidates in District Two will
be given until Monday morning to
get their business in. This is fair tc
all, and gives candidates in District
Two the advantage of a working day
on Saturday.
Henry Stanfeld, of Stanfield' S
Green Houses, is interested in the
Prize Ballot winners this time, and is
going to give each of the ten nam
moth chrysanthemum plant.
The coupon vote appeared for tht
last time yesterday, and all coupons
must be in by Saturday night, Apri
10. They will then be audited ant
counted, and the last complete vot'
standing will appear the early par
of the last week. This last standing
will represent the number of votes
coupon and any others which hav'
already been cast by all candidates
This list will be given to the judges
and the reserve votes the candidates
have on hand will be taken from tn,
ballot box and added to it. From thu
total figures arrived at in this wa,
will the prizes be awarded by tn,
judges in the order in which the.
come.
The last and largest surprise o
the drive is the Second Payment ant
New Features. The announcement a
the beginning contained the rule tina
a second payment on a subscription
during the campaign would receive al
the votes that the first one did 1t cal
readily be understood that since tn
votes were larger in the beginning
and have since declined, a second pay
ment on a subscription which wa
pair early in the drive will necessa
rily get large number of votes Fo
instance, If a person paid 1925 for ;
six months subscription at the be
ginning of the drive and the candidate
received $4,000 votes on it, it woult
be permissible for this person to pa.
an additional $275 and get the pape
for the year. In this case the can
didate would get $4,000 votes on thi
second payment, because it would
complete the year and the schedule o
votes for year in the first periot
was 10000. She had already receivet
$4,000 on the first half, which woult
leave her the $4,000 on the secont
half of the yearA
