DANBURY REPORTER Volume 58. NEW STRONG CANDIDATES ENTERING VOTING CONTEST Great Subscription Campaign Taking On Mark ed Impetus—Number of Additional Contest ants to Compete For Prizes—Number of Can didates Win the Extra 300,000-Vote Bonus. The great subsin campaign swings into high gear. Marked interest is being showo • the contest in many quarters. .11. wet k a number of new en tenants inter the iicc. anxi'it*. Ui;m b-big Miss I.unary Pyrtle, of Wes f . field, and Mrs. Gvona Wall Fowlev. of Walnut ('ov Knut> 1 Both if these ladies manifest marked win iiil'w qualifications, anil while com injr into the rave a little late, it is b,v no means late enough to hurt, as the public is just now beginning to wake t-- the situation. In a few days the interest will rise to a fever heat, and excitement will sweep every nook and corner of the Reporter's territory wher«» the attractive candidates are known. KXTK.V VOTK BONI S. I.«st week we offered an extra bonus of ;!(((),(Mil) votes for every club of •>!! turiietl in for subscriptions. Th's would h ■ easy, as two -o-yea:' • abstriptions and one 10-year sub. s-ription would firm a $!!'! club. Als i any number of other size-i si'lisi; i| t : "iis would also win it b:r t d tin the table shown on the back of the receipt books and printed ei ewheiv in this paper, though tlu bii; srbscript ions count much faster. A r,umber of the candidates will win one ir nvnv of thwe extra ."iim.iMMi-vote bonuses. Alrcadv some of them have reached it and the offer holds good until Saturday night, April 2'>. The candidates are learning the increased value of the big sub scriptions of 5, 1, 7, S, or 10 years, etc., as compared with the one-year subscriptions. Standing of Candidates Standing of the candidates i* omitted this week, as the correct computation of the votes cast can not be made in time for this issue of the Reporter. But after this week, the votes cast and the stand ing of each candidate will be print ed in order that their respective friend.; may keep posted on the progress of the campaign. All Candida fces are expected and required to bring or send their votes to the Reporter office not Inter than Saturday .evening. This is very necessary for a number 'of i casons. The emtest manager must be kept apprised of the con dition of the c ill test onve a week, while in order that new subscrip tions and renewals may promptly and correctly be enrolled at the otlire, weekly reports from all ran didates and weekly remittances of all cash collected will be required of all the cintistants. Enthusiasm Wins As the rave now swings into serious acti >n it is well to lie kept in mind by each and every candidate that persistent, tireless effort will win. Enthusiasm is indespensablc. If you want your friends to help you to win, you must show them that you want to win, and you must sh iw faith yourself. If you are blue and despondent, they will also become so, and their interest will lag. Lay off hard times. Hard times is largely psychol.igical anyhow. Most of it is in the minds of the people and not in their pockets. Anybody who can't get up a d.ill ar or two to help a beautiful girl win a prize that will be a life joy to her, isshort on red blood corpus cles. A good sport will give her a boost with a .Vyeur subsvriptio.i, and if she ever forgets him fir the sweet kindness of it, she is not the kind of a dear precious tiling that would look good in a swell ChrysK"', or a dandy Ford coupe with "Vict ory" shining on the windshield. Brent Field The field for subset intions is al io .i.-i unlimited. It is not Stokes county, but the world. Stokes peo ple are living everywhere. They are in Winston-Salem, Greemdioro, llieh Point. Stuart, Va., Mt. Airy, and everywhere else where the iv irld is moving as they are doing their let to help the world roll alone, lit it . "ier,i down and get them on Established 1872. the list for the old home town paper. But Stokes people are not all who take the Danbury Reporter. The personalities of the candidates is far-reaching. Kach has friends and everywhere, and the subtle influence of a frail thing reaching out for a beautiful prize— can it be successfully resisted? Wo don't think so. (ireat Salesmanship I The salesmanship of some girls is 1 amazing. We have seen some of them storm a politician suddenly, taking him either flank, rear or face-to-face, and he was glad to capitulate with a 85 bill after the first 5 seconds. This is to be the Danbury Re porter's greatest of great subscrip tion drives, and before it is iver everybody who does not already read the Danbury Re| irter will be •n our b inks. And when the :ilst of next mint!) ctni> - those who have worked the hardest and with the greatest en thusiasm and skill will claim tli prizes, while those wh i win no prizi s at all will be paid well f>r their time and talents. And tip memory of the IIJ.'IO campaign wiifi it pleasant, funny and interesting i xpericiiee, its new friend. found, its new valuable acquaintances formed, its ups and downy, will b incidents never to be forgotten.
