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. J
The success of the caudi y w Mar8deu
date depends on the degree to i yVjlmoth Curry
which that candidate can, Mrs. H. C. Whitworth
interest her friend and , Ella Brosiian
it should be remembered by V.V, Btai ox
all candidates that the woHdMr8. Joe Staples
loves a Tryer. Show your Mr8i a. Zimmerman
friends that you are interest- j MrB l. b. Fry

edand they will rally wyourwwl
us ure cast for them, but
they should take the du bills
and the subscription blanks
and go to work actively on
their own account. Do nut
float on your onrs and trust
to your fiends to do it all.
