MRS. W. H. RAVER LEADS IN THE AUTOMOBILE CONTEST D. T. Mansker Makes Largest Gain In Votes During the Week. The first month of the Auto mobile Contest is over, and the candidates are very enthusiastic. If ther is any portion of this territory to which the news has not penetrated, the Argus would like to har of it. Everyone seems interested for day after day wo are receiving inquiries concerning the contest. The firms interested inform us they are just as busy. New features are being added which will stimulate the in terest already shown and will encourage others nlso. Tho sec ond and third prizes (two gold watches) are well worth any one's special efforts. The sec ond prize is a gentleman's 18 size hunting case watch Walt ham movement and the third is a lady s 0 size hunting case El gin movement. Both are excel lent watches well worth working for. Another splendid feature is the special prizes given each week. These arc mostly silver ware and will be given to the candidate making the largest gain in votes from the day of one count to the next. Wednes day of each week being the day of counting. The thing which seems to to appeal every ono is the sim plicity of the rules and rcgu lations. Nothing difficult or complicated about entering the race and ufter ono has enter ed there are no confusing details. Really about the only thing the candidate should bear in mind at this time is thut the nominations close July 15th: that each dollar subscription to the Argus carries 1000 votes eiK-h dollar in cash trude ut either of these stores carries 200 votes and every dollar on old iirconuts doubles thut am ount inuking 400 votes. Canoniutes should also beur in mind thut Wednesday of each week is bargain day at the Ontario Furniture '" Ontario llardwure Co., Uenm W leader. Go about your cam paign in a half-hearted, lack-a-dasical fashion and your atti tude will surely find reflection in your friends. Take your candidacy in earnest! If you do not no one else will. KASY TO OKT HUK80RIPTIONH "Why, I didn't know you were in this contest until I saw your name," is the sur prised and expressive greeting of many friends of candidates when they are met first time after a candidate's name has appeared in the list of con testants. This manifest inter est means that they wish to seo you win and will gladly do what they can to help you. This is why it is best to euter the race as early as possible. Enter be fore your friends are helping someone else. It doesn't cost one cent to enter; it costs your friends no thing to vote for you. It is all a matter of the amount of energy you are willing to put into your campaign. Subscrip tions are easy to obtain. Ev eryone knows that the Argus prints all the news all the time. Its circle of friends is increasing more rapidly than ever since the contest began and the Argus takes this op portunity of assuring its many friends that its policy will con tinue to be in the future us in the past, "All the news ull the time." This policy on the part of the Argus is so well known that it is not u diffi cult matter to secure subscrip tions Nor is it difficult to in duce people to trade with the business firms in tin.- contest. The quality of the goods they sell is so well known to be the best at all times that the work of the candidates in this line is made particularly eusy. HUNT KOKtlKT Don't forget for a minute that it is the active cundi- laie who is going to win. A cuudidute should not be cou tent with merely seeing thut Drug Co. and Newton's Shoe j the votes received from trude Store and votes will bo given vim tne i.usinoHB arms " ..t th rate of 400 to the dollar, irom subscriptions to the Ar oavoidati n bwuwmal Each candidate in this con test may well be likened to general. Such then she really is for all candidates have friends who are interested in their 111 cess. These friends, however, are comparable to the runk and file of the army - with out a geneiul or orgunizer half their efficiency is lost. It is the part of the candi- ( Mabel Blanton dates to organize their friends Fred Buttler by their own personal efforts.
