DANBURY REPORTER Volume 55. Big Campaign Already In Limiiffht Biggest Extra Vote Offer That Will Be Made in this Circulation Drive The great EXTRA VOTE OFFER, which is in effect this entire week, gives the real workers an opportunity seldom ever offered early in the campaign. Usually the biggest EX TRA VOTE OFFERS or inducements are made later on in the race and they are given at a time when subscriptions are harder to find. The Circulation Drive is conducted upon entirely different lines from the ordinary "voting contest." The Danburv Re porter is not attempting to decide the most popular man or woman by any means. There is very little similarity to a "con test" in the Circulation Drive. The awards will be made strictly upon a basis of results the candidates secure during the campaign. "Results count," is a time worn slogan and it applies forcibly in the Circulation Drive. The campaign is purely a business proposition where in men and women enter into competition with each other on the same basis and the results obtained decide the size and nature of the reward. Every day— New ambitions are aroused- Xew determination springs forth— And—new nominations are added to the roster of those who will compete in The Dan bury Reporter Circulation Drive. The great prize distri bution continues to excite en thusiasm throughout the Dan bury Reporter's territory. In terest is increasing with every day that passes. The Circulation Drive has made a hit everywhere. Those who wished to take a little time to study the campaign carefully before sending in their nominations have found that the Circulation Drive of-, fers the most equitable oppor tunity to obtain a rich reward that has ever been made in this section. Names of men, women, boys and girls con tinue to arrive to be placed in the list of nominations. Opportunity Appreciated. With such a wonderful ar ray of prizes to compete for as the Danbury Reporter has provided, it is no wonder that the enthusiasm provoked has spread into practically every home in the large territory this newspaper blankets. That out-of-town candidates are keenly alert to the unusual opportunities they have of winning a fine motor car is evidenced by the ,splendid in terest manifested in the prizes. Every rural route should hav.j a'representative in the Circula tion Drive as all compete upon the same basis and persons re siding even on rural routes have an equal opportunity with everyone else to win the very best prizes. Subscriptions may be secured anywhere and positively no limit is placed on one's territory. Outside Interest Grows. Towns outside of Danbury are now starting to line u*) their favorites with an earger ness that bids fair to make the race an interesting one. The importance of being earnest in everything one does, whether it is at work or play in order to obtain the most gratifying results, is an ex emplary idea that fits nicely into the policy that members adopt to advantage. Haphaz ard methods lead a person on and on, and though one may •seemingly accomplished things, one never attains an ultimate Ends Saturday Afternoon, Jan. 28 I end A systematic canvass of I one's closest friends first will | bring best results.

The gowl year Nineteen Hundred Twenty-eight, now in in its unfolding, bids fair to be another live one—full of ging er and pep—for local politics. The following announcement has just reached the Reporter, with request for publication: "Editor Reporter: "During the fall and winter I have been approached and urged by many of the good people of Stokes county to be come a candidate for Sheriff, and after careful consideration, I have decided to say, that I will be a Republican candidate for sheriff of Stokes county, subject to the approval of the people's wishes expressed through the primaries. May 1 say further, I will duly ap preciate the support of my friends. J. R. NUNN." Many people are wondering if Frank Dunlap will again stand pat, while his friends battle for his nomination There are possibly other cand idates who will also contest for the office of Sheriff, among these E. R. Nelson, who made the race two years ago but who, with Nunn, was deieateJ by the present incumbent, J. Frank Dunlap. The political pot does not usually boil as early as tiie cold month of January, but de velopments now indicate the seething undercurrent that is liable to burst forth at any moment.
