The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1919-10-20

Facing the alternative Of making
the extra cash prize offer which
closes Saturday night, October rs, be-
ing the greatest returns OF their en-
tire campaigns, or else becoming out
distanced in the spirited race that
will soon bring the Quickest to the
final goal, candidates of The Pioneers
campaign are calling upon their ut
most capabilities to accomplish every
thing possible ere the special offer
ends Saturday night. Five more days
is all the time candidates have to gain
liberal additions to their votes on
subscriptions secured during-the ex-
ira cash prize offer. Do not forget
that all subscriptions secured to ap-
ply on the extra cash prizes also
count on the present offer Of $4,000
extra votes for evedy club OF $25.
Many candidates have expressed the
belief that it is now or never. And
they are right. Those candidates
who produce the most during this ex-
ira cash prize offer are the most like
ly ones to be winners at the end.
When it is taken into considera-
ton that only two weeks remain be-
fore the campaign closes the impera-
tive necessity Of putting forth the
best efforts is apparent. There Is no
one in the race who can rest assured
that he or she will be winner. The
only method Of playing safe is to
gather every subscription possible.
Every contestant has friends who
have promiesd to subscribe before the
campaign ends, and many will do
their greatest wor kbefore the whis-
tie blows for the finish. Contestants
should not let one opportunity go by
without exhausting its value. and Sc
curing votes. The telephone, letters
and. best of all, personal calls, are
the most acceptable methods of COW
ering the territory thoroughly.
ALWAYS Another
One Of the callers at the campaign
office yesterday was young woman
who stated that she had "gotten'
everybody in her district. Half an
and produced TEN subscriptions from
the same territory, all of which goes
to show that no matter how certain
one may be that nothing is left, some
other candidate will comb over the
same territory with gratifying re-
suits. Real, sincere effort is a prime
requisite if results are to be obtained.
No one who tries will fail to be re-
warded, as sincere effort never goes
unrewarded: hut those who expect to
win must prepare to follow a fast
pace.
With each passing day the end
crOOps closer, and the people inter-
ested in the campaign are lining up
eagerly and becoming the most rapid
partisans of some candidate or an
other The contestants themselves
ax| keyed up to the last nick, and
those who are ambitious will not re-
lax until the final hour is passed.
The good old stick-to-it spirit is
what will bring home a prize.

vided into six prizes as follows:
