Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 66, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 November 1910 — ONLY ONE MORE WEEK OF THE DEMOCRAT'S TRIP CONTEST [ARTICLE]

ONLY ONE MORE WEEK OF THE DEMOCRAT'S TRIP CONTEST

Contestants Who Hope to WifTlai of the Prizes Offered Should Keep Busy ami "Be Io” at Wind-Op.

CONTEST CLOSES ON DEC. 3 At 10 P. M. and the Prizes to be Achieved are Well Worth Special Effort to Win—Bonus Offers Withdrawn, But Such Withdrawal Only Affects Total Number of Votes and Makes No Real Difference in Standing of Candidates.

Only one more week remaining in which to secure votes in The Democrat’ Tour Contest, which ends Saturday night, Dec. 3, at 10 p. m. The three contestants in each district, standing highest at that time will win the grand free prizes—three trips to New York City, three trips to Chicago, and three five dollar gold pieces. Remember, in the trip prizes all expenses arc paid by The Democrat, and the five dollar gold pieces will be sent to the successful candidates by registered mail and will reach them in a few days after the contest closes. Get as many new subscriptions as you possibly can, also as many renewals, and your name may be among the highest standing candidates at the close. It is nobody’s race yet, many of the candidates standing on an almost equal footing, so far as number of votes is concerned. It takes a little effort to win in a contest of this kind, but -is it uot worth winning? Absolutely no partiality has been or will be shown any of the candidates; the' ones receiving the highest number of votes will win the contest, and no one should depend on the coupons alone to win. One new subscription or one renewal counts as much as 40 coupons, and you can get them' if ybu will put forth a

little effort. Another thing, don’t depend altogether on your own little neighborhood to win out; you can canvas the entire county if you wish, and votes count for any new subscriber or renewal no matter where such subscribers may reside. Owing to the special bonus offers being technically contrary to the postal regulations in contests of this kind,- the same have been withdrawn and will not be considered in the final count. Thjs withdrawal does not affect the standing of any of the candidates. The only difference will be that the grand totals of the votes of each will not be as large as though the bonus votes were counted. The count will be on subscription only, as per schedule below.
