WASHINGTON, N. C., FRIDAY AJfTERXOQX, MARCH 31, 1916. NUMBER 74. CANDIDATES ARE HELPED DYFRIENDS GREAT ASSISTANCE 18 BEING GIVEN TO CONTESTANTS IN x securing VOTES. ENTHUSIASM HIGH "Club Oflh*" Afford Cwulldatat for Prl?? a Chance to Secure a Large Number of Vote* With But Very Little Trouble*. i Every aggressive candidate nomi nated in tiie big contest Is making a great effort to complete at least one of the clubs that earn- one hundred and flfty thousand extra votes. Many of the candidates that have done but little themselves have a splendid etart on one of the club6, due to the fact that thptr friends have turned In subscriptions for them. Enthusiasm lis by no meaus con fined to the candidates. Friends In many Instances are showing much greater Interest than sonie of the contestants who receive the votes. Many ofl the busiest men of Wash ington, and: the outside territory have found lime to look over the condi tions of the vote offer and bring their subscription to the office so their fa vorite candidate might receive the greatest vote credit upon It. Support of that kind is a compliment to the lady candidate that she ehou'.d not take lightly. The most effective man nor of show ing appreciation of the complimen tary support of friends is by doing a little voting on your own hook and demonstrating that you are not In different. The interest la not- confined to the people at borne, proven by the fact that several people residing at a dis tance have renewed their subscrip tions voluntarily and cast the votes for their favorite candidate. Today a letter was received from a Daily News subscriber In Pittsburgh with a check, aud a request to credit one of the candidates with the votes. Yesterday a gentleman from Wash ington, 1). C.. mailed his subscrip tion and asked that full credit be given on the vote offer as well as what was due from the regular vote table, wb'.ch demonstrated that he had taekn time to acquaint himself with some of the details. About the Clulm. While one of the clubs will give you a due big vote, do not stop with one club. Nor with two clubs. Get just as many as you cAn. Just think, three clubs will net you almost a half million votes. Six clubs about a cool million. Make the most of the big 'Offer. It presents the real opportunity of the contest.
