Opportunity To Earn Doable The Regular Schedule
Of Votes On All Subscriptions Turned In This
Week Brings Realization Of Im

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.

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.
