IND PAYMENT IS
BIG FEATURE OF
DRIVEFOR AUTO

The Second Payment Feature in the
Times Recorders Great Subscription
Drive will doubtless be the most pop
ular vote getting feature of the
drive, the winner of which will be
awarded the bort 5-passenger touring
car.
The announcement at the beginning
contained the rule that a second pay
4 menr on a subscription during the
! campaign would receive all the votes
that the first one 1t can readily
be understood that since the votes
were larger in the beginning and have
since declined, second payment on
subscription which was paid early in
the drive will necessarily get a large
number of votes. For instance, if a
person paid 1926 for a six months
subscription at the beginning of the
drive and the candidate received $4,000
votes on it, it would be permissible
for this person to pay an additional
$2.75 and get the paper for the year.
In this case the candidate would get
$4,000 votes on this second payment,
because it would complete the year,
and the schedule of votes for year in
the first period was 10000. She had
already received $4,000 on the first
half, which would leave her the $4,000
on the second half of the year
The same is true in the case of a
subscriber paying $500 for year in
the first period, on which the candf-
date received 10000 votes The sched-
ule on two years was 100000, and, of
course, If he pays anotheA year before
the campaign closes, making two
years, the candidate will be due 10000
votes on the second year.
There is no doubt that this will be
popular, in as much as the votes come
in handy, ard also in many cases the
subscribers really save money. AS in
the case of a person who has already
given $1.75 for three months sub
scription, a six months subscription
is only 1928 and would be allowed him
the difference, which would give him
the other three months for only $3.50
The same is true of six months sub
scription and the subscriber is al
lowed to complete the year for the
difference between what has already
been paid and the price of year.
which is $500. The candidate in this
case receives all the votes that the
complete time would have obtained in
the period in which the first payment
49, made.
The greatest advantage in second
payments. however, comes at the very
last Of the campaign, when the can
didates receive for every year Of sec
ond payments to their credit during
the whole campaign so, 900 extra votes
for each year. For instance, if a
candidate at the end of the drive has
eight three months subscriptions and
six half-yearly second payments and
four yearly second payments to her
credit, she should receive, counting
two years, the half-years as three
years, with the four yearly ones, $4,000
extra votes on nine second years,
which would amount to 100000 votes
extra, to be added to her standing at
the very close of the drive. This very
fact, no doubt, will have serious bear
ing on the winners, as matter of a
few hundred thousand votes coming
along at the end is quite difference
Subscribers who have paid small
tons will M do11b hit 1izo
saving and advance their subscrip-
tions before the drive is over, in order
that their faEorites may take advant-
age Of the second payment feature.
And it is believed that all candidates
see the Importance of the second pay
ments. and are going out for the extra
votes in earnest.
