That the actual competition is just getting under way, is evidenced by the great numbers of new contestants- who are- appearing high in the voting. Every day new contestants are entering the race, and within a few hours are distancing those who have been in from the start, but who have fallen by the wayside. Opportunity for new contestants is just as i great today as it was the day the | campaigu was first announced. In I fact, it is better for new contestants, J as everybody is now acquainted with | the competition and a new contestant | does not require to go into lengthy | explanations in order to secure votes. PHOTOGRAPHS Contestants are again requested to send their photograplis to the campaigu manager immediately. People are very anxious to see and know the competitors. Contestants living in the country are especially asked to send in their photographs as soon as possible. BONUS OFFER Again we wish to lay special stress on the great bonus offer, which gives 500,000 extra votes for each total of £lO in subscription money turned in by contestants up to June 21. Contestants should make every effort at this time to take advantage of this bonus offer and secure as many subscriptions as possible. Effort now ! will mean much more in votes, than ! effort later in the race. Call on your friends who have promised support, and ask them to pay their subscription now, immediately, so that you may get the extra votes, otherwise their help will not be nearly as much after June 21 as it will be before that time. This extra bonus ballot will mean much toward the contestants winning the prizes most desired, and it gives the contestant who puts forth the early effort the advantage. Contestants are requested not to wait until the last minute before turning in subscriptions. Turn them in as fast as received, so that subscribers may get their papers. As soon as subscriptions are received by the campaign manager, a voting ballot for the number of votes allowed is issued in the name of the contestant. These voting ballots are forwarded to the contestant, and may be held as secret ballots by the candidate so long as desired. These votes need not (be published in the paper. Contestants should accumulate these voting certificates and on the final night the judges will make the count, and the contestants credited with the greatest' number of voting certificates will win the prize. Votes represented on these-certificates will be published in the paper only when they are returned to the campaign department for depositing in the ballot box. Therefore, take advantage of the great special offer, secure your voting ballots, and j hold them secret as long as you wish, j CAMPAIGN DEPARTMENT OPEN TOMORROW.
