Wafted over the cool night air
came the jangling music of an old

"Littlo Grey Homo in the West."
Leah's thought lingered over the

opportunity is knocking st the door of
many homes in Eugene and surround'
ing territory. It is knocking at your
door. Are you going to let it pass by,
or are yon going to take full advan
tage of it by getting your campaign
going on nigb right now? -,
Ton now have the chance a good
cnance of seearinr sour share of a
valuable list of presents in the great
est and one of the shortest campaigns
ever held in this state. All the big
prizes, from the five handsome big
cars and the purses of gold and sil
ver, down to the least of the cash
awards, are offered under the most
liberal agreements. It is not hard to
win them. In fact, the way this cam
paign ia headed right now, it ia bard
not to win tbem. Juat study over tbif
a minute. .
With such a fair and liberal. dis
tribution of prizes, wby hesitste about
really getting in the win ? The prizes,
every one of tbem, are certainly wor
thy of your very best efforts, yet from
present indications they will be picked
up mighty easy. ,
How About "Promises?"
Now is the time to cash in on prom
ises. If your friends made promises
good faith, they should keep them
now, before Monday, November 10.
Never again in thia campaign will the
present liberal vpte schedule be in
effect. After the clock strikes 10 on
November 10 a lesser vote schedule
is effective.
Don't overlook "second Bubscrlo
tions. If some one gave you a one
year subscription, which counted yon
12,000 votes, get the second year or
the fifth year. The second year
counts yon 24,000 more votes. Four
years added to the one already secnr
ed will give you the total cf 300,000
votes for the five years.
Or if a subscriber gives some one
else the first subscription. YOU gat
the second or third; .It will pay you
well.
These Mean Real Votes.
Keep a lookout for the bigger sub
scriptions. A three year subscription
gives you 00,000 votes, a four-year
subscription credits you with 180,000
votes and a five year subscription will
boost .vou all of 300.000 votes. The
clubs are extra. Just two of the five
year subscriptions will give you con
skiernble over a million votes.
This campaign has not really got
under way yet. While there are
number of candidates in the list, the
number of workers, judging from r;
suits, are not so many. Some of these
candidates have a very few subscrip
tions and some coupon votes to their
credit, cupped from The Daily Guard
which they have brought in or friends
have brought in for them in many
cases, too, they have received the
votes from their friends who have
paid up their subscriptions since .this
campnlgn started.
