Many of tlffi contestants increase their vote totals for today’s list and many changes will be noted in the lineup. Those who are thinking of subscribing for The Republican should look over the- list of candidates who are entered in this contest, then turn in their subscriptions and give the votes allowed thereon to their favorite candidate. Nothing will please a candidate in this contest more than a few thousand votes. Seldom does a newspaper of the high standing of The Republican loosen its purse strings and let the gold flow in such a stream. Seldom is the public given the opportunity of determining l ? by popular vote who be the people to receive seven awards of the richness and suitability of these glorious prizes. The race is getting exciting and it is indeed a close one so far. All realize that the time is short—only five weeks until the finish—and each candidate and their friends are putting forth their best efforts to be the undisputed winner. The records which have been made so far are all good ones and the candidates have fairly earned their lam rels if they put forth the same amount of energy. A Systematic Canvass. Many candidates are laying the foundation for a systematic canvass and are accordingly finding ready and loyal support among their friends in the city and outside. A systematic canvass certainly pays. Just explain to prospective subscribers that you are, in the contest and are trying desperately to win and as long as he reads a paper any way, he might just as well have the best. The Republican is making extraordinary efforts to please its readers ind is meeting with unusual success from a newspaper point of view. The Republican is the paper of. this section. . There are thousands and thousands of votes going to whste every single day of the contest simply, for the lack of enough energy to gather them up. There are enough votes going to waste to win' the auto. This fact may be startling but it is nevertheless true. Get busy on those vote coupons and subscriptions this week. Why under the sun don’t you ask all your friends to save them for you? Get them all busy with their little shears each day. By way, why don’t you take your own little shears with you when you go out and clip every last vote you" run across—might as well have them—better to have too many than not enough—better to win by a mile than to lose by a foot. Besides, every one who enters gets something. You can’t lose. How can you spend your time to better advantage during the next few weeks? Ask about it. > Everybody €an Win. entered in this contest can win as each one,who works will get a cash commission of 10 per cent If she does not win one of the big prizes. Of course, the thing to do is to go in to win the biggest and best prize. Start today by securing one of the subscription books, if one has not been sent to
