I Interest in Contest Continues Unabated CANDIDATES ENERGETIC Enthusiasm and zeal are al ways commendable qualities. They gofur and are prime re quisites of success, but in some very good causes some people have been known to become al together too zealous. The elim ination of competition seems to have been hammered into a business axiom these days, and various methods have been re sorted to. Just at this time the Argus wants to state for the benefit of persons who will par tisipate in this great contest, t li.it all sorts of wild stories are likely to be circulated as to the activity of some candidates. While the contest is just start ing is a good time to get that fact firmly fixed in your mind. You are going to hear that Miss Jones has an organization of friends behind her sworn to make her the winner If by circulating such a report or per mittingitto be circulated, Miss Jones succeeds in scaring out other candidates, competition in reduced just so much, and win ning is made easy. It might 1 stated tm- is not a race for the faint hearted. None of these firms is able to slop the circula tion of these stories, but the bet ter judgment of candidate themselves should tell them that no one i able to secure more votes in the given time thun themselves. Your experience in securing votes is the best barometer of conditions. Just remember the same conditions you ure meeting must be met by every other can didate; tii.it the field is clear und clean uud no one possesses an advantage you may not make your own. HllAHK HKA1. AHHl IBM) Candidates are asked to re member llicy uio engaged in a great big business proposition. In the campaign for votes candi dates the assurance the are re ceiviug the moral support of newspaper and mercantile ftrUM who never have, would not and could not afford to ally that solves with any proposition that was not ui.questionably fuir to ull concerned. Contestant.-, may approach thai! friends with the full know ledge that the condition ol tins OOOtast are absolutely fan, thai every vote turned in will be v ,ed for the candidate turning it in, and that the responsibility of these merchants is not I mat ter of guess work. This is a sober, serious minded, pottoui appeal to the people of Ontario ami vicinity. AUHAVK'HIKMMK(1H'..HT1MIV You have just as good an op portunity as anyone. There is no reason whv you should DO be the winner. It is not neoe sary to be a customer; it il not necefcsary to be a subs,.!' .,-r of the Argus to enter. You may nominate you. -If or your Votes are sac U Pad "' for each dollar; and each dollar paid on back accounts carries the same number. rtltO NOT I.IMITKD. Candidates are not limited in their field of activity. Sub scriptions may be secured any where. Send your friends in other states a copy of the Argus and ask them to subscribe to help you. Contestants should not be backward in asking their friends to subscribe to the Ar gus or to trade at the above named stores. This is a straight rorwant business proposition and no hesitancy should be felt in getting out and actively put ting the same before your friends. They not ouly receive just as much for their dollar as at any other time, but in addi tion thev have the opportunity of helping you in the winning of this contest. Right now is the time to en ter while the contest is just starting; right now the field is fresh; subscriptions are easiest to obtain; your competitors have not been sufficiently active to secure the business that would naturally full to you if you started. This contest is simply a little test of energy, strength and perseverance among friends. It is not an occassion for ill feeling; just enter and go about your gome with the proper spirit. AHK KOK HI K Ull I - Not only should contestants be actively soliciting the news paper subscriptions, but they should go to Newton's, Hor mele's, the Ontario Hardware Co. and the Ontario Furniture Co. ami ask for due bills. The contest manager will expluin the wonderful help these due bills will be to candidates in se curing votes. Don't forget the due bills. IIOW THKY HTANI Mrs. Winnie Wisdom Mrs. W. H. Raver F.
