Publication of the names today
i. does not mean nominations are clos
ed. Far from it. This campaign is
only starting. There are more candi-
dates who have not accomplished
anything than there are who have.
The campaign is hardly under way
yet. Certainly some candidates have
not got into their stride yet. Live,
earnest, energetic candidates, sub
scription getters-can enter now and
walk away from slow-going entries
Speed, pep, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. will
win.
Cars Go For Little
From present indications these
two cars, Buick Coach and Chevrolet
Coach-real cars-are going to be
given away for less votes than are
usually required when sewing ma
chaine, photograph, wrist watch
or cheap diamond ring are given
away.
This is the honest truth. Votes
turned in so far would not justify
one of the old time piano, sewing
machine and ring campaigns.
This lack of interest manifested by
candidates in general is not only re-
grettable, it is appalling. 1t is ridi-
culous. Yes, and it is serious.
Let Friends Do Work
Here the Leader is putting up
$500 in big handsome, speedy auto
mobiles, and purses of gold and sill
yer. And some who have entered are
content to stand by and let their
friends cast votes for them.
In fact, more votes have been cast
in some instances by the subscribers
themselves over the counter in the
Leader office for candidates than the
candidates themselves have turned in.
This means that friends, who
would subscribe or renew anyway in
the natural course of business come
to see the Leader office, pay their
subscription without solicitation and
because they are friends of the can
didates, cast their votes for their
friends. Some too, only coupon chas-
ers, who would rather spend profit
when a subscription viii offset
able time running after coupons,
whole flock of coupons.
Of course that is perfectly all
right. The Leader desires business
and business makes votes-either
from subscriptions or coupons. But
the Leader also wants to see candi-
dates manifest some enthusiasm in
their own election.
It takes more than friends to win.
1t takes work. Work means subsc1lp-
tons. Subscriptions means votes.
Votes means prizes.
~ In Sackcloth and Ashes
= Sooner or later in this campaign a
candidate or candidates now entered,
one or more will yet enter, will get
their stride and the drones are going
TO find themselves weeping in sack
cloth and ashes by the roadside while
the live ones spin past in their big
motor cars-motors cars won thru
consistent effort.
No one need be a drone. Every
body has it in him or her to accom-
plisfr.to do That dormant power tho
must first be awakened. ..#5=, s
