The Herald outlines rules for a contest where nominations are accepted with a right to reject, votes on new and renewal subscriptions, and a published coupon. Candidates may nominate themselves or be nominated by friends, with votes valid on subscriptions worldwide and non transferable. The final count rests with a committee of prominent citizens and Herald decisions are absolute.
The top vote getter gains first pick of Grand Prizes, second place gets next, and so on until all Grand Prizes are claimed. After Grand Prizes are awarded, District Prizes go to candidates in each district. Grand Prize winners forgo District Prizes. Send nominations for charismatic, popular, well connected entrants. Act quickly to avoid losing votes. Inform friends you have entered and mobilize support via telephone.
A call to action urges readers to submit nomination blanks valid for 1000 votes and to enlist friends via telephone and letters. The Herald offers receipt books and a Contest Manager to explain details and provide plans while stressing to secure every coupon and nomination blank and to work for Reserve Ballots, which count most.
The message urges members of societies churches and organizations to recruit support for candidates. Encourages children to collect coupons and nomination blanks and to secure subscriptions and votes daily. It notes that anyone can vote for any candidate and that the Contestant Manager at The Herald office is available via telephone 5401.
