Past Turn-Ms
Concluded from Page L.


Evidently few people under
stand the nature of this startling
and liberal offer, as NOT ONE
CENT HAS BEEN TURNED IN
ON THIS OFFER AT THIS
WRITING.
No one has reported SO much
as a dollar on it, therefore per-
fectly NEW candidate can start
after it without one handicap.
But the opportunity applies
equally to all alike-early en-
trants, late starters and new can
didates alike.
Previous collections and past
votes do not count in the 500
race.
1t is the one who brings in the
most NEW business within the
next 1S days who will win the
800. (See ad. elsewherel.
And while your turn-ins of new
money are being counted toward
the gold prize, you will be given
the full regular schedule and ex-
ira votes toward the winning of
one of the big free cars or one
of the other grand prizes. You
cannot lose in this race.
This Is Opportunity Period.
This second period is called
OPPORTUNITY" because, first,
the preliminaries being over, the
public is more interested and
more ready to help, and the live
candidate has his opportunity to
build up big vote while the
schedule is still HIGH.
Second, and equally important,
SECOND subscriptions COUNT
in the FIRST PERIOD. This
means a second payment, or ex-
tension, on any subscription Sc
cured by any contestant earlier
in the campaign counts votes in
the period in which the first sub
scription was taken, and also
earns the difference in votes be-
tween the first subscription and
the second.
A subscription given during the
first period will earn first period
schedule of credits up to Aug. 9.
A subscription given during the
first period for one year and ex-
tended for another year will give
YOU 10000 votes-making the full
total one two years subscription.
A subscription given during the
first period for one year and ex-
tended for years will give you
100000 votes, etc.
In reporting these extension"
(second-payment) SUBSCRIPTIONS,
the candidate should mark on
both the stub and the. report sheet
"2nd SUBJ" and on back of the
stub state to whom the first sub
scription was given. Upon veri-
fication in the office, the extra
votes will be given.
Second payments or extensions
count big now and every eHort
should be made to secure them.
Just show grit, and determina-
ton to secure them andy~your
friends will respond-they want
YOU to win the Chrysler 40" but
unless YOU show sei4-interest
ia your own pace how can you
expect your friends to show in
terest and become active for you?
They won't do it-that's all.
This is an exceedingly impor-
tant feature and you should ex-
plain it thoroughly to your friends
who have already given you
subscription-explaiu the tremen-
dously increased voting power OF
extensions to them and ask them
to extend their subscription for
at least another year or two.
Work for extensions" just as
religiously as you would putting

The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1926-03-26

The United States is dry, not
only legally, but by oral convic-
ton. American sentiment is not
downtown sentiment, nor club SEN
timent, nor blind-pig sentiment, nor
newspaper sentiment It is home
sentiment, workshop sentiment,
store sentiment, school sentiment
and church sentiment. You must
find the peoples sentiment where
the people live-and they don't
live downtown. Newspapers are
made downtown and read in the
residence sections. If they we're
made in the residence sections they
would be dry. The American home
is dry and the American nation
gets its tone from the home, not
the wet newspaper.

STANDS BY THE Law
Elks' Magazine Upholds Grand
Exalted Ruler Atwell in His
Attitude on Charters

Judge Atwell, grand exalted ruler of
the Ellls, believes the order should obey
the law. He has not hesitated to COM
pei the surrender of charters in instances
where it was proved that the order had
not observed the prohibition law.
Judge Atwell is supported in his stand
by the Elks' Magazine, the organ of the
order, and by great majority of the
members of the lodge, who are humili-
ated, because there are lodges and mem
bers who do not have such high ideals
The Elks' Magazine, in recent num-
Der, says:
Individual opinion as to the justice
or propriety of written laws has no
bearing upon the duty to observe
them. If a member be not wiling to
subordinate his opinion to that of the
great majority of his brethren who
do approve and support them his
remedy is open to him. The doors of
the order are as wide to permit the
exit of a dissatisfied member as they
are to admit him who seeks to join
it and sustain its high purposes.
A subordinate lodge which as
sumes the attitude that it is a law
unto itself and is not amenable to the
superior authority of the order, of
which it is but single unit, except
in SO far as it may choose to obey it,
should surrender its charter
