1t already enjoys n tremendous
circulation all over this part of the
state-but it expects to Commune to
build and add to its great family OF
readers until. there Is "a Daily Tri-
bune in every home in this county"
There are two ways OF building cir
culation. One is by the routine
method Of sending out solicitors; and
the other is by n big liberal prize
campaign. The Daily Tribune is
choosing the latter at this time be
cause it enables us to get n larger
circulation more quickly (even though
the cost is greaterl and also to share
with those who are willing to assist
in the growth of this newspaper.
Daily Tribune News in Demand.
The Daily Tribune has the full
Associated Press News wire, by means
OF which it is connected with the en-

Friends Help Candidates
Persons who have never taken part
in n voting campaign OF TINS magnr-
tude are unable to realize how rapid

the start is made, they pile up like
magic. Subscriptions and coupons
will secure thousands of votes in The
Daily Tribune campaign. And 1t Is
not expected that the candidates will
depend wholly upon their own efforts
friends will help them to gather
votes-and what a merry pastime 1t
will be-with bountiful rewards at
the end.
