The .list -of -contestants in -The Franklin Times big $1600.00 Subscrip tion and Prize campaign shows some new names, as well as those candi dates whose entries were received in time to be published in the first list last week. As will be noticed by looking over the list the vote totals lave increased considerably, for there have been a great many of the free votes brought in and sent in to the campaign office for the different can didates. Practical evidence of the fiiterest that the folks of The County are beginning to show in the prog ress of their favorites. A well known bi^siness man hap pened to be in the TIMES office the other day and when asked to name the candidate to whom he was going to give hla subscription replied that lie "was gornrftr-watr awhile -to-eeei just who stayed in the race before he cast his vote. Perhaps this is an ex sample of the response that the can didates are meeting in their quest for subscriptions. However, the mlnuge you convince folks you ask that you areTn The campaign actively to stay you will get their practical support Candidates must have patience and confidence In their own ability to mak9 possible the fulfillment of the promises given to them on their first call. The out of town candidates are proving worthy rivals of the Louis bulrg contenders, and several excel lent reports were made by them last week. Great Interest Is being shown by the folks In the surrounding towns in the progress of the home candi dates, among whom there are sever al active workers. This la only nat ural and right When the campaign was planned by the publishers of The Franklin Times the double votes were ofered to encoi$rage out-of-town con tenders, and they owe it to themsel ves to make the most of the oppor tunity. If they make a diligent can vess of their own territory and en list the support the practical sup port, in the way of subscriptions, of their friends and neighbors, they will find plenty of subscrlbers-enoufeh to win a car. The Hat of subscribers to The Franklin Times Is now tradable and nny candidate who wishes a copy of the list of readers In his or bar home town, or In any town or rural route in the county should advise the Cam pnlgn office and the list will be sent . at once. However, do not make the mistake of canvassing present read ers alone. There is a big field of non-readers of The Franklin Times who will give a new subscription to help you win, and tbey should not be overlooked. . Some of the earlier entrants have Riieady dropped by the wayside and the. votes that their friends sent In for them have been wasted. But their places have been taken by oth ers, determined to stay In the race till th? last gun Is flred-determined to win. You' can't beat spirit like that-it refuses to acknowledge defeat. Tor the battle has just begun?the buttle of ballots. The leaders have' yet to emerge from the crowd. The fidd is bunched-places are changing constantly. The pace is getting a little warmer, perhaps, and as one cbserver remarked: "It is no place for a weakling.'" But the prises are big?worth working for?worth a lit tle spare time effort these next few weeks. The contest will be won on merit alone?merit derived from In telligent, earnest endeavor?the stuff rasl folks are made of. Any candidate whose name has been taken from the list may be re instated by making at least one sub scription report The list of candi dates will be cgt down to Just the actual workers, as soon as posblble so that the public will know whom to sifppacriptlon and Prize Contest are the free rotes published each week in The FRANK LIN TIMES, and sent In by their friends.
