Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 September 1911 — “SO MANY READ THE DEMOCRAT” [ARTICLE]

“SO MANY READ THE DEMOCRAT”

Is Burden of Candidates Plaint in the Plano Contest SHOULD BE “BET ’EM ALL” No Reason Why Republicans Should Not Take the Best Paper in the County as Well as Democrats—Lizzie Wiseman Up to Second Place Again. Some contestants say: “It seems as if everybody was now taking The Democrat, and I can hardly find anyone I ask to subscribe but says ‘I am already taking it and have been a regular subscriber Tor several years.’” Well, while it is a fact that nearly “everybody reads The Democrat,” and it goes into hundreds of republican homes as well as practically every democratic home- in Jasper county, the population of our county is constantly changing, ’and, while those moving out have The Democrat sent to their new home, those coming in to take their places will also want the leading county paper and will subscribe for it if you will see them. Others —many republicans who have lived in the county for years —are onjy prejudiced because of the paper’s politics, and would 'really like to take the paper and will do so if you go to them and ease their “conscience” a little by telling them that it is to help you thaUyoji want them to subscribe. Then there are hundreds of renewals right along, and a renewal counts half as many as a new subscriber —1.500 votes for each year renewed. If for five years, $1,700 votes! Look after these renewals and try to get your share of them. The certificates given by the stores handling them —a list of which appears below also help, and you should have your friends ask for these certificates with each cash purchase and save them for you. Remember these certificates are given absolutely free, and the person who tells you that they are added to the price charged you for goods is merely -trying to work off a case of sour grapes. The extra trade brought the merchant by reason of his using theSe certificates compensates him many times over for the small outlay for the certificates". He doesn’t have to add anything on to the price of his goods, but can really sell them cheaper than before, because of his increased sales. Ask any of the merchants handling the certificates if this is not so. In the line-up of candidates, Miss Lizzie Wiseman jumps up to second place again* while Ida Hurley retains third place.
