This llay May Spall “Automobile for You! At 9 o’Clock Tonight the Offer of $100 in Gold and 175.000 Mn E. L. Sarff, Waskish... Extra Votes for Every Club of $25 Ends WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN MONDAY’S_PAPE Watch Monday’s Paper for Rules Governing Closing and the Name of Judges Who Will Count the Votes— % Only One More Week MRS. CLARA B. PRAUGHT —Photo by Hak Mrs. Clara B. Praught, Blackduck, is making a splendid race for one of The Pioneer’s automobiles and has a host of loyal friends who are sup- porting her. The one big problem contranting the people of Bemidji and the outside territory is, “Who will prove the au- tomobjle winners in The Pioneer’s great circulation campaign?” Scores of predictions have been offered; even mind readers have been consult- ed by some in an endeavor to obtain some inkling of what the result will be. Yet all these quests avail them naught, for the final outcome is as much as ever in doubt. If frenzied efforts to eliminate as much of this doubt as possible, can- didates all over The Pioneer territory are scouring the communities cease- lesgly. . From the waking hours of the morn until the day is done these ambitious candidates are fighting the battle--courageously, never pausing, but keeping on and on, that the tide of favor will sweep towards them. Such scenes are seldom witnessed. Imagine dozens of candidates, each thrilled with the spirit of conquest, striving mightily for supremacy in this race. Obstacles that might de- ter strong-minded men, they push aside as nothing. Their eyes are set on the final goal, and ever onward they proceed nip and tuck. One candidate wrote yesterday: “I am working at the fastest clip of which I am capable, but the time seems to fly even faster.” And that about covers every candidate in the field. All of them have an equal op- portunity for victory, and none can say that they have earned a victory until the result is announced. The aspirants for automobiles are with one accord persecuting their chances vigorously, and many, who appar- ently have no chances because of their present standings as published, are going to spring such big surprises that too-confident ones will go down to defeat. Overconfidence is the big- gest handicap under which a candi- date could labor. This unwelcome attribute causes more regret and dis- appointment than anything else in a campaign of this sort. The only way to be sure of winning is to spend every possible minute searching for subscriptions, which, as far as can be judged and if the reports are to be Dbelieved, is exactly what every candidate is doing with a vim. Per- serverance is the only winning qual- ity. and coupled with energy of the richt kind, will surely land the candi- date at the top. The sum of $100 in goid will be di- vided into six prizes as follows: To the candidate residing in Dis- trict No. 1, who Treceives the largest number of votes issued on collections between the dates of Tuesday, Octob- er 14 and 9 p. m. Saturday, October 25. will be given $25 in gold. To the candidate receiving the sec- ond largest number of votes, y.5 in gold. To the candidate receiving, the third largest number of votes, $10 in gold. To the candidate residing in Dis- trict No. 2 who receives the largest number of votes issued on collections | between the dates of Tuesday, Octob- | er 14 and 9 p. m. Saturday October | 25, will be given $25 in gold. ! To the candidate receiving the second largest number of votes, $15, in gold. To the candidate receiving the third largest numoer of votes, $1v | in gold. Note that this gcld offer closes at the same time as the 175,000 extra vote offer. A double opportunity. Not only has every candidate, no matter where he or she stands now, an equal opportunity to win this gold but all collections will apply on the offer of 175,000 extra votes for every club of 525 This gold offer is an added induce- ment to make the next two weeks count as never before.
