ihl- At n? 4&. 4 I rAGE TWO B&iW. Pioneer's Candidates Begin the New Week With Inspiring Rush Now Is an Opportune Time for Late Starters and New Candi- How the Prize* Will Be Awarded. dates to Start Winning Campaign:This Week Im- portant to Al CandidatesVote Scale Allow- ance Decrease After This Period The manner in which the candi dates in the Pioneer campaign began the present week with a rush was inspiring for Saturday a continual stream of callers came to the cam paign headquarters of The Pioneer, while the mails brought a greater batch of letters than usual. It speaks volumes for the determination these candidates are displaying and fore shadows a great victory for the ear nest ones. This campaign is rapidly develop^ ing into the biggest affair of the year, and numbers of sensational spurts are expected before the endbooks of the week. The 200,000 club offer is stirring up great enthusiasm. It will be the stepping stone for many of the candidates from the very bot tom to dominant positions among the leaders, and the means of se curing thousands of votes which they may retain in their posses sion until later on in the cam* paign. They are good at any time. This is also true of the regular votes issued on new and old subscrip tions. In some cases it is perhaps a good idea to keep a substantial num ber of votes back in order to make use of them at such times when the race gets to be a little, faster than usual. Why a Reserve. Like every big financial institu tion, every great nation, every great business, it is sometimes essential to have a reserve on hand. A bank maintains a reserve in order to draw upon it when the need arises. The nation has its military and naval re serve, and the business houses have their monetary reserve to liquidate obligations when they can not realize from other sources. And so it is with candidates in this campaign. A reserve is a necessary adjunct to any successful enterprise it should be a part of the campaign work of every candidate, for a reserve fund of votes can be drawn upon when the need of making a good showing arises. This does not mean, though, that subscriptions should be withheld, for these should be brought in as they are secured. Candidates will receive their votes- ballots promptly. When a candidate is informed by a person from whom a subscription is obtained,Jhat the paper is not being delivereidregularly, or fails to show up at all, complaint should be made to the-circulation department of The Pioneer. A notification to that de partment will insure a speedy rati fication of errors and bring the paper promptly. Keep Posted. Every issue of The Pioneer should be read carefully by the candidates, for the news columns, appearing daily, events of the campaign and many suggestions are offered, and points clarified, that will enable can didates to pursue their efforts with a clear understanding of all their phases. 1.
