participate in this distribution OF
| gifts.
j In order to absolutely eliminate
any possible chance of anyone
"buyingn his or her way to VIC
i tory. the Courier-Reporter is Civ
ing more votes at the start than
| at the finish. As the campaign pro.
| crosses. the voting power of both
| coupons and subscriptions dinin-
ish until finally they are worth
/ less than half their present value.
The final week is of the least con-
Germ, for votes then count so little.
The first weeks are the weeks that
count. the weeks when coupons
and subscriptions count the most.
| The early bird catches the
worm. 1t is advisable to start ear
i ly. 1t pays to be able to make up
your mind quickly. Votes are
greater and easier to get at the
start.
You can get more coupons and
more subscriptions at the start
than you can when many candi-
dates are out after them. At the
start the whole field is yours.
What you get early you get easily.
And the early coupons and sub
scriptions count up faster-the
votes are bigger. The first weeks
are the best.
Make up your mind now. Enter
now. Everybody wins. You win.
You can't help but win. The more
you do the more you get of course
but everybody wins something.
The more candidates entered.
the easier it is for you to secure
big car, or a purse of gold or
one of the big cash awards. How
Is that. do you ask? 1t is like this:
If there are only two candidates
running for office of sheriff of
Benton county, the winning can
dldate must have over half of all
the votes cast in order to win. But
If there are five candidates seek
ing election as sheriff. the win
ming candidate need only have
more than any of the other four.
In other words victory comes to
the winner with far less votes
when five are running than when
two are running. Yet the total
votes cast in each instance may
be the same.
Remember this, too: The biggest
prizes as big as they are, have
nothing to do with the number of
votes required to win them. Only
so many votes will be cast. 1t
makes no difference whether the
total votes cast are 100000 or one
million, the big cars go to the
leaders in each district with the
most votes. ALI he or she has to
do is to have more votes than any
other candidate in his or her dis
trict.
Because the gift list is so ex-
traordinary. so big, it is probable
someone will imagine that it will
take an awful lot of votes to win.
No one knows how many votes
will be required. No one can tell.
With a reasonable list of candi-
dates in this election just few
good subscriptions can win the
biggest gift. When this election is
over everyone will be surprised at
the small number of votes required
to be the recipient of these big
gifts. Then those without courage
will say, "Why, if I had only
known how few votes it took. I
could have done that" Then it will
be too late.
"Electioneering" in the Courier
Reporter election will be most en-
joyable as well as profitable work.
And it will pay you big.
Decide now. Make up your mind
to enter. Win. Earn real money.
Earn more money in the next few
weeks than you ever earned before
in like time. Enter. Get in. You
win. Everybody wins. You cannot
lose.

ton blank in this issue of the

flee. That is the first step. That
starts you off with 5000 votes.
Nominations may be made by
anyone for anyone. A nomination
is nomination. A friend can nom
mate a friend. But only one NOM
nation counts for each entry. No
one is barred. Men, women, boys
and girls are all eligible. Make
the start. Let's go!
The election will not be a long
drawn-out affair of several months
duration. 1t extends over period
of a few weeks. 1t closes May ID.
Think of securing in about eight
short week gifts that would or
dinarily require months, yes, even
years. of self denying and saving
to acquire and these are given
to you for your spare time and a
little interest in helping the Cour-
Ier-Reporter enlarge its subscrip-
ton list.

participates in this great election
the greatest possible assistance
and to properly handle the circu-
iatlon so that each new subscriber
