The big object of this prize distribution is two fold; primarily to increase the already
large subscription list of The Western American; to collect arrearages and advance subscrip-
pavments from present or old subscribers, and at the same time to afford our friends aud

The plan adopted is the fairest aud most impartial conceivable. There will be no
“ double vote” offers, extra prizes given or any other inducements whatever inaugurated dur
ing this competition. The plan of the campaign is straight-forward and simple, and is fully
outlined in this announcement.
Let it be understood at the very outset that this is not a “ beauty” nor “ popularity” con
test, but a strictly legitimate competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, boys
and girls and one into which no element of chance enters. One feature of this competition is
the fact that there will be nà losers in this race.
