Do not lose any of them, for there will be no way of getting duplicates at this late period of the game. Do not trust to slow mails. A delay of a few hours in the mails may lose a prize for you. Mail them in time enough to reach|® this office before 9 o’clock tonight or you are lost" as sure as the world. Go in to win or forever hold your, peace. The race is now up to you and your friends. Do not ask to have vote ballots issued on subscriptions without the names of the candidates for whom they are to be voted written thereon. The request cannot be cmoplied with, All votes must bear the name of the candidate for whom they are to be voted before they leave this office. Scratched, torn or altered coupons will be promptly discarded. Often times a few votes will win or lose a prize, and it is small satis- faction for one to know what they have lost by putting off their final effort until the last hour. Go out| at once and do your best to bring your wavering friend who promised you a subscription into line. If you put it off till the last hour they may be out of town or have changed their minds—just do it now. The battle of the ballots will wax more furious as the end approaches, and every candidate is preparing for the struggle now and 9 o’clock to- Indications point to a strenu- ous finish and many new subscribers will be added to our list in the few hours remaining. Claims and coun- ter claims' of contestants and their friends indicate that the outcome is everywhere in doubt and public in- terest will be at white heat. But it will be all over in a short while, and though it has been a warm race, the good feeling will be so pre- valent that the losers will be helping the winners. to celebrate. Everybody will be ‘merry ‘andthose who ‘have worked the hardest will be the mer- riest of all. This is final and positive, not one vote will be received at this office after 9 o’clock tonight. All votes and subscriptions coming in after that hour will be cast out. No favors wil be shown to anyone in the cam- paign; so get your votes in early. No information will be given out regarding the candidates and no in- formation regarding reserves polled —to be credited after the close of the contest—will now be given to anyone, so don’t hesitate to bring in your reserves as early as possible. No one save the campaign manager and the judges will know until the announcement of the winners. Do not forget that the votes in this campaign are not transferable and that every vote issued on subscrip- tions must have the name of the candidate written thereom. Any votec coming in showing alterations or erasures, unless same are made by the contest manager, will be can- celed at once. FIFTEEN PER CENT CASH COM. MISSION TO NON.WINNERS. You can’t lose in this campaign— that is impossible. If you fail to win one of the regular prizes we will pay you 15 per cent cash commission on the gross amount of newspaper subscription money you collect, pro- vided you have turned in one or more subscriptions ‘ealh week from the time you started to work in the campaign. Rules Governing Close Of Campaign. Candidates cannot be too careful about sending their ballots so that they will reach the campaign depart- ment before 9 p. m. Saturday, No- vember 1, and as a matter of precau- tion, every omne of them, especially living outside of the city of Beidji, should read and weigh each line of what we have to say. We would dislike to see.any candi- date lose a single vote because of the excitement which is suer to occur during the last few hours of the cam- paign, or because of some misunder- standing on their part. It is impos- sible for you to exercise too much caution in arriving at a full under- standing of the rules and conditions governing the closing of the cam- paign. First—All votes and remittances, no matter at what time mailed, must be received in the office of the cam- paign department of The Pioneer be- fore 9 p. m. Saturday, November 1. 1t not received at this hour they will be worthless and will not be counted. Second—All remittances and votes should be addressed to the campaign manager and not to individuals. This is to prevent confusion. Third—Contestants may send in their reserve votes any time now, as the ballot box has been locked and sealed and the key placed in The Pio- neer gafe. This ballot box will not be opened except by the judges at the final count. When sending in these votes do nmot roll or fold, but send them in a flat package, using a little cardboard so as to keep them absu- utely flat. Be sure to usé special delivery stamps on all letters, votes, ete. Fourth—Owing to the uncertainty of mail reaching candidates in time to be returned for tne final count, the campaign department will not, after today, return any votes that are issued on subscriptions. Prompt ac- knowledgment will be made, how- ever, by letter, of all subscriptions and remittances received from candi- dates, and the votes will be deposited in the ballot box to the credit of the candidates. If you do not receive a prompt acknowledgment of subscrip- tions and remittances that you send in, be sure to notify the campaign department immediately. Fifth—The free 100-vote coupons are now of no value, as they erpired last Saturday, October 256. Votes can now only be secured on collections. Look 'over the above conditions carefully. . Do not jump at the ¢on- clusion that you understand any par- ticular ope until you are absolutely sure of its full meaning. If the pre- caution of careful reading is taken there should be no vain regrets con- cerning votes being rejected because they did not conform to the rules of the campaign. If in doubt concerning any point, ask questions until everytaing is clear. How the Prizes Will Be Awarded. 1.
