all the subscriptions. Perhaps YOU
have more craftsmanship ability.
Perhahps he has changed his mind
Peraps you happen to strike" him
differently. Never give up. A non
subscriber is always a prospect un-
til he subscribes. An old suhscr;b-
er is always prospect until he re-
news.
The coupon which appears daily
IN the Times-Recorder is soon to,
be reduced. The coupon is still
good for 100 votes. In keepine-
with the general plan of reducing.
coupon and subscription voting
values instead of increasing them
as the campaign progresses, the.
present value of coupons will not,
be maintained for long.
Count For More
Candidates eventually will realize.
that work now will produce sub
scrlptions which count for more. A
subscription now is worth several
times the votes it will be when the
campaign closes. A lead secured
now will be harder and harder to.
overcome as the time for the ending
OF the campaign nears.
This certainly ought to spur can
didates to action. The hardest part
of all is getting started. Bear i'm
mind that friends of candidate will
be willing to help once they know
the candidate means business. If YOU
show through your votes and
through your effort, that you are i'm
to win, your friends will rally TO
help you. But if you appear to be-
indifferent they will naturally help
someone who seems anxious to ad
vance. That is just natural. It is
human nature.
Much of the candidates success;
depends on the attitude assumed.
One must demonstrate his interest
One who is serious is bound to find
friends ready to help.
You will not write up everyone
you approach. Maybe many will
turn you down. Then again you'll
do mighty well. You must not be-
discouraged. There are ''good days.
and some not so good. The law of
averages will hold good for you-
Know that others bump up against
the same conditions and the same
arguments and the same kind of
people. You are not an island. AlE
you have to do is to do your best.
Your best is good enough-it is
ample to win.
Now, all you who are entered,
carry on. This is the time to get a
real start-to pile up lead. This is
the time when subscriptions count
for MORE.

subscription will give you 100000
votes. Then with the Opportunity

the three subscriptions would be
10000. Twenty-Five Of these new
yearly subscriptions would give you
total of 100000. Or one FIVE
year subscription would give you
$1,000; add the Opportunity Vote

Why, a new candidate who has
it in him or her, who will really go
after subscriptions, can do almost
anything he or she desires in this
campaign. And the field is. ripe in
both districts.
Every day brings inquiries, tho
now the greater part of them are
accompanied by votes from persons
who, having been nominatedy have
thought it over carefully and have
decided that the opportunity of Sc

their votes. The management takes
this as an indication that there are
to be some surprises and shifting
about in the vote standings.
In fact, some of those candidates
who are lower down in the list are
now starting their campaign in
earnest and if the management are
good guessers" some of those who
have the lead now will have to
look out or they will be passed by.
A little mathematics used will show

subscriptions. Subscriptions will
