TO the person receiving the next
greatest number Of votes in either
district And then, an equal num-
Der Of big prizes, and as many cash
prizes as there are active candidates
will be distributed in each district.
BY giving two automobiles OF al,
most equal value and two complete
sets of prizes, one list to be awarded
to District No. (the city Of Black
foot) and one list to be awarded
to District No. Q bingham county
and adjacent territory, candidates
In the country will not have to COM
pete against those in the city and
vice versa. Indeed, the effect will
be two different elections with each
one having its own set of awards,
but both taking place at the same
time.
Our Slogan Everybody Wins
The prizes are almost fabulously
valuable, considering the extreme
shortness of the time in which they
will be distributed. Imagine secur-
ing prize which would cost you al
most two thousand dollars in cash
to buy for few days pleasant effort
in vote getting. And that is all that
you have to do to secure any one of
the big awards simply gather in
the votes
But one of the best features of all
in this big prize distribution is the
fact that there will be no losers, as
a cash commission of 20 per cent
(one-fifth of every subscription
collected) will be paid to all active
non-prize winners, which, in itself,
is an excellent business proposition
for you.
This is not a something for moth
ing" scheme at all. Neither is it a
charitable undertaking on the part
of The Idaho Republican. 1t is
business proposition pure and SIM
pie. It's object is to advertise joint
ly this newspaper and the splendid
qualities of the new 1920 model cars,
to secure new and renewal subscrip-

taken in this section. The prizes are
not only rich in material value and
dollars and cents, but are in keeping
with the broad and liberal lines
along which the whole enterprise has
been drawn. Ambition and energy
are the only requisites for success
in it.
Why These Cars?
The entire Idaho Republican gift
distribution enterprise has been
planned with the idea Of making it
unusual and unusually generous. A
glance at the prize list, enormous in
its value, is splendid evidence OF this
statement.
The special attention of our read
ers is called to the two beautiful
high powered touring cars.
Cars of lesser value could have
been purchased by The Idaho Repub-
lican and offered as grand prizes
but that would have broken the poll
cy of the management in making
the enterprise worthy Of the interest
and the effort of all, one in which
our readers would be proud to par
ticipate and one that The Idaho Re-
publican would take pride in father
ing.
Big, beautiful, luxurious, high
powered, the very pinnacle Of auto
mobile development, these prizes
will stand out on the boulevard or
on the country highway in omnipo-
tent splendor. Both are 1920 mod
els of the very latest design.
Cash Your Prize
Perhaps you already have a
car-in which case you may
cash your prize and expend the
almost two thousand dollars in
travel or an education or a nu-
cleus for home of your own.
Nearly $4,000 is pretty good
money to add to your present
income for your spare moments
during the next few weeks
moments that would otherwise
be wasted.
Figure 1t Out Yourself
How long would it take you
to save enough money out of
your earnings to purchase any
one of the big gifts awaiting
you in this Idaho Republican
gift distribution? Figure it out

tions to The Idaho Republican, to
collect old subscriptions, and last
but not least to win welcome for
The Idaho Republican in every home
in this community. In short, The
Idaho Republican will reward many
ambitious people right here at home
very literally indeed for their as
sistance in introducing this paper
into more homes in the city and COM
munity. instead of employing out
side solicitors at fancy salaries to
accomplish the same result. .
WIN 1t Pay? ~
Will 1t pay? That Is a question
ton that will naturally occur to all
who read this announcement. Yes,
1t will pay. Not in dollars and cents,
but there are dividends that news
papers want and derive other than
those expressed in terms of money.
During this campaign many new sub
subscribers should be added to our
lists, the fair, square policy of The
Idaho Republican will be thoroughly
advertised and there will be great
amount of satisfaction in all that be-
sides the general good feeling en-
gendered and the prestige gained for
this newspaper and the two motor
car agencies will be almost inesti-
mable.
Short and Snappy
This campaign will not be a long
drawn-out affair of several months
duration, but extends over period
of only few weeks, closing Satur-
day night, July 3. Think Of being
able to secure in about six short
weeks prizes and awards that would
ordinarily require months, yes even
years, of self-denying and saving to
acquire-and these are all given you
in exchange for your spare time and
a little interest in helping extend our
subscription list.
This campaign will be more in
teresting and more profitable to the
participants than any ever under
