DOUBLE VOTE OFFER |N EFFECT THIS WEEK Opportunity To Earn Doable The Regular Schedule Of Votes On All Subscriptions Turned In This Week Brings Realization Of Im ? portance of Extra Effort AMPLE TERRITORY FOR "LIVE- WIRES" Extension Subscriptions Will Play Big Part in Winning Of Best Awards. Race Remarkably Even Among Majority of Workers ? Outcome More in Doubt Than Ever Before? "Results" Will Tell To further encourage the work ers in The Franklin Time* "Cash Offer" campaign to exert them selves to the utmost this week, the following extra vote offer is made: Beginning March 27, and ending Saturday, April 1st, each and every subscription turned in will be credited with Just twice the number of regular votes as printed on the front of 'the re ceipt book's. This offer is less than any offer that has been made up to this time but it is such that any member who is actively at work to win one of the biggest awards cannot afford to lose a single moment durjng the present week. DOUBLE VOTES ON ALL SUBSCRIP TIONS this week! !' Two hours' Yesults for one hour's work. Extension Subscriptions "Second Payments" or exten sion subscriptions which mean a further payment by someone who hfc? already subscribed for a definite length of time during the campaign, will be credited back under the Tote offer in which the first payment was made. These second payments allow a big advantage In votes and each member is advised to get as many of them as possible. Candidates are requested to mark extension^ when they turn in subscriptions, otherwise the Campaign department will not be responsible for the additional votes which the extension sub scriptions carry. Real Action It may be truly said that the "real campaign"1 for fubs<rrlptl(ms is just getting , started, Judglug by the Increase^ eagkuslasm be ing demonstrated* if the cam paign members during the past few days. One and aH seem to have taken fresh stfccr in their prospects and are more fully de termined now to finish high in the list than eTer before. Then too, the public is lending Its sup port In a commendable way and urging the workers on to greater achievement. The wise members will "bear down" as never before on subscriptions this week. Amj^e Territory Left Candidates .are cantioned against making the serious mis take of thinking that all the ter ritory has been canvassed. There are hundreds of people right here in Loulsburg, to say nothing of the outside territory, every one a potential subscriber, who have not ' been approached for a sub scription. Don't assume that the other fellow has beaten you te it. Leave no stone unturned, and ytfu will be surprised at the in creasing number of folks yon will find who have not been seen by other workers. Members are urged to make an active survey of the Held so that every possible source of votes will be looked after. To let failure overtake one at this stage of the game would be to relinquish the op portunity to win one of the big gest awards. What are a tew days of dellgent effort, compared to the days, weeks and months of pleasure and satisfaction one of these awards will bring. As the matter stands now, the race is remarkably even among many. T&at is why the last three weeks of the campaign are so Im portant, as they will enable the members to win the highest hon ors if they will but strive enough. It isn't a matter of tfhance or luck. Standing of Contestants will Be found on page eight. P. T. A. COIT!* OIL TO MKKT Mrs. J. F.

Daniels Opposed As Ambassador Mexican Communists Making Pro teat ? Attitude Surprise To Washington City Mexico City, March 28, ? Post ers attacking Josephus Daniels, the new American ambassador to Mexico, appeared on walls in Mexico City today. The posters were captioned "Out With Daniels" and they, called him "the. murderer of Axueta 'and Urlbe." These men were Mexicans who were killed in the fighting when United States forces landed at Vera Cruz in 1914. At the time Mr. Daniels was secretary of the navy. The posters were signed "The Central Committee of the Com munist Party of Mexico Section of the Communist International." They called upon workers, farmers, students, soldiers and aailors and "all anti-imperialists in general" to rise up and force Mr. Daniels from Mexico. The overthrow of the present Mexican government for permit ting Mr. Daniels to serve as am bassador was urged In the post ers. "The naming of Daniels is an insult to the Mexican people and expectorates on the memory of Mexicans who died at Vera Cfux," the posters said. "What is the consistency of decorating those who died at Vera Cruz and then welcoming the murderer of Axueta and Uribe?" t Washington Officials Hear Rumor Bat Refuse Comment Washington, March 28. ? At tacks in Mexico City against Am bassador JosAphus Daniels' ap pointment today created surprise among officials here. A noncom mittal silence was the only re action at the state department. Official reports of the poster campaign against Daniels had not reached the department from the Mexico City embassy late to day, but observers there regard ed the allegation that the new ambassador Intended to organlxe the Mexican army and navy ta fight an imperialistic war for the United States as too absurd for comment. Secretary Hull could not be , reached to verify receipt of the reported letter from the president of the American chamber of com merce in Mexico protesting against Ambassador Daniels' ap pointment. It could not be learned whether or not h? would reply if the communication has been received. ! | L. H.
