Live Earnest energetic candidates subscription getters can enter today and walk away from the slow going entries. Anyone now entered can put Pep sped and action into his Campaign and accomplish real things. There is no Handicap except the Handicap you make for yourself by Lack of Effort. Votes turned in so far would not justify one of the old time piano sewing machine and ring campaigns. That is the honest truth. The Lack of interest in their Campaign fortunes manifested by candidates in general is More than regrettable it is appalling. Really it is ridiculous that prizes like these offered by the evening Republican should be compelled to seek the candidate instead of the candidate going out after them.

And some entered Are Content to stand by and let their friends cast thei votes for them. It is a fact that in some cases More votes have been cast for a candidate by subscribers paying their subscription Over the counter than the candidate has procured himself. This Means that friends who would subscribe come to the evening Republican office and pay their subscription Over the counter without solicitation and because they want their Friend to have the Benefit of the votes cast them for their favorite. Some too Are Only Coupon chasers who spend valuable time running after free coupons when one subscription and particularly one new subscription will offset All the free coupons one collect in a week or two or three.
