Address................................................................. as a candidate in the Clackamas County News big Circulation Campaign. T hat is the honest tru th . Votes turned in so far would not ju stify one of the old tim e piano, sewing m achine and ring cam paigns. The lack of interest m anifested by candidates in general is not only regrettable, it is appalling. It is ridiculous! This big vote o ffe r will not be repeated. It carries a g reat weight. The opportunity to g et ten-year subscriptions is now very bright. The g reatest th at any candidate can secure is five ten-year subscrip tions issuing the H onor Roll coupons. If you have any ten-year prospects, g et them now, because it will produce like two usually do in votes. Rem em ber, five coupons for the 500,000 H onor Roll votes is the lim it fo r each candidate. T here is no lim it to the num ber of 100,000 and 200,000 H onor Roll coupons. The votes secured during H onor Roll days count like ev erything. T hey pile up trem endously. G et yours during H onor Roll Days and m ake every hour count. LET FRIENDS DO WORK THE PRIZE LIST CHRYSLER “PLYMOUTH” SEDAN $ 870.00 CHEVROLET COACH............................ $ 732.00 FRIGIDAIRE............................................. $ 215.00 RADIO ..................................................... $ 125.00 RADIO ....................................................... $ 100.00 SET ROGERS SILVERWARE ............ $ 60.00 ESTIMATED CASH COMMISSIONS $ 500.00 H ere the Clackam as C ounty News is p utting up over $2500.00 in new, handsom e autom obiles and other prizes and purses of money. And some who have entered are content to stand by and let th eir friends cast votes fo r them . In fact, m ore votes have been cast, in som instances, by the subscribers them selves over the counter in the News office than most of the candidates them selves have turned in. This m eans that friends who would subscribe or renew anyw ay in the natural course of business come to the News office, pay th eir subscription w ithout solicitation, and, because they are friends of the candidate, cast th eir votes for them . Some, too, are only coupon chasers, who would rath er spend profitable tim e looking fo r free vote coupons when one sub scription would o ffset a “whole flock” of coupons. Of course th at is perfectly all right, the News desires business and bus iness m akes the votes. But the News w ants to see the candi dates m anifest some enthusiasm them selves in th e ir own elec tion. It takes m ore than friends to win. It takes honest e f fort. H onest e ffo rt m eans subscriptions. Subscriptions m eans votes. Votes m ean prizes. IN SACKCLOTH AND ASHES Sooner or later in this cam paign, a candidate now entered or one or m ore who will yet enter, will get th eir stride and the drones are going to find them selves weeping in sackcloth and ashes at the roadside, while the lives ones spin past in their new cars— autom obiles won through consistent effort. No one need be a drone. Everyone has it in him or her to accomplish and to do. The dorm ant power m ust be aw akened. WAKE UP! GET BUSY! You candidates who are in: You have been nom inated.
