rAGE TWO
With energy and enthusiasm un
diminished, candidates in the prize
campaign of The Pioneer are work
ing overtime to secure the necessary
subscriptions which will entitle them
to the bonus votes and credit on the
gold offer. All day yesterday the
campaign office was filled with a
steady stream of enthusiastic ones,
eager to turn In every subscription
and get out tor more, for many can
didates appreciate the liberality of
the gold offer, that allows them to
secure as many clubs of collections
on new and old subscriptions as they
can, and do not intend to let the mat
ter rest with one. This Is surely the
time to make a mark in the cam
paign, and if you fail to take advant
age of it yours will be the loss. You
will have until 9 p. m. October 25 to
secure the necessary subscriptions,
and now is the time to get them, as
they will never be of more help to
you than they are now, as the secur
ing of them may be the thing that
will win for you in the end.
Your Field The Wide Field.
You who think that your chances
are gone and that the field has been
well covered by other candidates
should pause a moment and think of
the many friends, former residents
of Bemidji in other paces who would
be glad to help you by paying a year's
subscription for news of their former
home. Send these people a letter to
day. Many a campaign has been won
by some ingenious candidate who ap
pealed to his friends away from
home and thus secured votes where
others might have, but did not think
in time. Also the field has not yet
been covered by any means. Al
though candidates have secured sub
scriptions here and there, many and
many a new subscription, probably
enough to win an extra gold prize
for you, is lying almost at your very
door waiting for you to come after it.
Providence helps those who help
themselves, and likewise the world. 1
The one who goes after things is the
one who gets them. With such a
field you should be able to not only
win a prize, but win one of the big
gest. No restriction is placed upon
you. Votes may be gathered and sub
scriptions secured wherever you can
get them.
Small Payments.
Here is an idea that may prove of
vast assistance to you. No doubt you
have approached the subscribers at
the start of the campaign and they
have given a subscription for six
months. Visit these people again
and get them to pay the balance on
a year's subscription. In a majority
of cases subscribers are willing to do
this, as they want the paper anyway
and they are willing to help you by
paying in advance for their period.
For example: A person who sub
scribes to The Pioneer for six months
and paid $2 50 receiving 5,000 votes
for the subscription, by getting this
person to pay 2.50 additional you
will be given the difference between
the number of votes allowed for a
year's subscription and those allowed
for six months When turning in
these always mark your stub "second
payment."

MISS ESTHER F. JOHNSON.
Miss Esther F. Johnson of Nymore
an anthuiatic candidate and is
doing her very best to win one of
the automobiles in The Pioneer's
campaign. mounting obstacles that anything is
occomplished in the world, and if our
great men quit when they encounter
ed a rock in their path their ways
would not lie along the road of great
ness, but down the quick pathway of
oblivion. If you meet some other
candidate who tells you of the num
ber of votes she has, and tells you
that you have no chance to pass him,
take the story with a grain of salt.
Most probably your vote is equal to
hers, and she is merely telling you
her story in the hope of getting rid of
a competitor. Go along your way,
gathering in every possible subscrip
tion, and when the time comes to
award the prizes, you will surely be
gratified at the reward that wnl be
yours. Not along in the reward it
self will you feel pride, but in the
honor that will accrue to you for
your accomplishing what many
others will regret not having tried.
Many a candidate will have a strong
feeling of regret at not having tried
for one of these magnificent automo
biles and others will say, "If I had
only tried just a little harder." Let
no "if" stand im your way. Forget
the word and you will never have
cause to berate yourself for having
passed up one of the greatest oppor
tunities of your life.
Let no one say to you, "So-and-So
is a quitter." Show your friends and
those who believe in you that you
are worthy of their help and that
quitting is not one of your character
istics.
PLEAST NOTICE!
There is a rulinsr which every
candidate subscribed to when they
entered this campaign, that is:
"votes are not transferrable. can
not be eiven awav or sold." Any
