HOW TO SECURE
VOTES.
TWO METHODS.
It Is Simple.
There are two ways to get votes. One
deals with the patronage of the retail
merchants, and the other with the pur
chase of tha manufactured products. By
purchasing advertised products at adver
tised establlihments It Is possible to get
votes twice ror the same purchase.

EACH 'VOTING DISTRICT
WILL HAVE A SEPARATE
GROUP OF LIKE AWARDS
Contest Will Be Virtually Four
Independent Competitions.
The city has been divided Into four
voting districts, and each win have Its
own set of awards. This Is for the pur
pose of equalizing toe distribution of
awards among the people of the different
sections of. the city.
The four set of awards will be Iden
tlcal, and will be given to the contest'
ants In the various districts procuring
the greatest number of votes. This
makes the contest practically four sepa
rate competitions. In addition to these
awards there will be a grand award of a
X3.000 house and lot to tne contestant
with the greatest number of votes In the
enure District of Columbia, irrespective
of voung districts.
The district divisions have reference
merely to the awards and In no wise re
late to the methods of obtaining votes.
Contestants may procure votes In any
part of the city, lrrespecuve of whether
the merchants which they patronize are
In their voting districts or not.

make a purchase, '.'he list Is a complete
one, and there is tardly a conceivable
article which cannot be purchased at one
of the establishments
The Herald should be read carefully
every day. The advertisements are scat
tered through the papet. It Is a bad plan
merely to watch the classified lists of
advertisers. By reading eaeh of the ad
vertisement closely and thoughtfully, the
contestant will get an accurate know
Iedee of what the var'ous merchants
have to sell, and when It is necessary to
purchase any of these articles, he will
know exactly where to go, and not only
get what he wants, but procure the votes
also.
It Is advisable for contestants to secure
copies of the list of advertising mer
chants and manufacturers from the Ad
vocate and distribute them among their

side of the street.
DISTRICT No. 2 Is bounded by and
Includes the east side of Elgnteentn

of North Capitol street, north to Michi
gan Avenue; the north side of Michigan
Avenue to Harewood Koad, tne west side
of Harewood Itoad. north to Third Street
Northwest, and the west side or that
street.
DISTRICT No. 3 comprises the territory
directly south of District No. r, and Is

the south side of U Street, the west aide
or North Capitol Street, south of U
Street, and the west side of South Capi
tol Street, down the river.
DISTRICT No. 4 comprises the entire
territory east of and Including the east
side of North Capitol and Bouth Capitol
Streets, the east side of Harewood Koad,
and the east side of Third Street North
east, from the Intersection of Harewood
Road northward. This district embraces
Erookland and Handle Highlands.
The object of the contest Is to stimu
late businesa and to direct the purchas
ing public to those concerns where they
can get the best returns for their money.
The effect of the eompeUtion will be to
Increase newspaper adverUsIng, to make
the public acquainted with the leading
retail merchants and manufacturers op
erating in the city, and to educate the
public to patronize these enterprising es
tablishments. The Herald recommends
friends, with the request that they pat
ronize the establishments and products
and save the votes for them. By follow
ing out this plan, tne contestant will not
ba reaulred to soend a cent to obtain
votes. It Is no trouble to the friends.
In asking a person to assist him in tne
competition, a contestant Is doing a
valuable service to that person. For by
patronizing these merchants and manu
facturers, the public will be sure to get
the best quality at the most reasonable
prices.

will be advertised in connection with the
contest.
No skill Is required in the contest. No
special qualifications are necessary to en
ter. If you have enough spirit to desire
any of the SO articles which are to be
awarded, you have the making of a win
ner In jou. It is astonishing what a
person can really do when he sets his
mind upon accomplishing a certain end.
Tou are not asked to spend a cent In
the contest. You are not asktd to solicit
a single thing. All that Is required of
you Is to read The Herald carefully every
day, patronize the special merchants and
manufacturers who advertise to give
otes in this contest, and obtain tbo co
operation of your friends In jour per
sonal campaign. Does that require any
special gift from the gods?
You cannot afford to delay In the mat
ter. ' The contest Is now started. Start
early on your quest for votes. Send In
your nomination blank at once, so that
you may be registered aa a contestant
and you may receive 1.000 votes aa a
"starter."
Always patronize merchants whose ad
vertisements appear in connecUon with
the contest- It Is only by a strict ad
herence to this principle that you will
come to success. "Whoever ou are you
have Just as cood a charce now for one
of the 3M articles as jour neighbor. It
is altogether a question of who takes
the greatest interest In the contest. Tha
man who sets in his mind upon wlnnlrg
a certain article and backs up his deflre
by honest effort should be among the
victorious at the end of the six mouths'
competition.
The advertisements of all manufac
tLred products, in particular, should he
read carefully. In each la a sentence
tailing exacUy what must be exchanged
to secure votes. It may be a label, or a
wrapper, or trade-mark, or a bottle
cap. or a carton so In order to avoid
mistake, it is advisable to pay especial
attention to this class of advertisements.
These advertised products should al
ways bC purchased In preference to
others. Contestants should ask their
friends to buy these products and to
save the required medium of exchange
fci them. Labels, trade-marks. &c
from products adertised In th contest
will bci a-cepted regardlesa of whether
the purchase was made at a merchant
advertising in the competition or not.
It is advisable, however, for contest
ants to purchase the products at the es
tablishments of merchants In the con
test, for In this way it Is possible to n
cer votes twice. To Illustrate, a coi
tesunt purchases a S3c box of HofTi
Lem.m Seidlitz Powders at the Idei
Pharmacy. Both the manufacturer ai
tbj druggist are advertisers in the con
test. The patron, upon request, receives
five votes from the pharmacit for patj
