SATURDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 24, 1925 Sounding of Gong on Fateful Third Period Now But a Matter of Hours; Lead Secured by Closing Time Tonight Almost Impossible to Overcome TONIGHT AT 9 MARKS END FOREVER FOR BIG VOTE SCHEDULE; OFFICE OPEN TIL 9 All Urged to .Have Subscription Stubs Filled Out at Home Before Reporting; Don’t Hold Up Others While You Slowly Write Up Your Stubs Gritting their teeth with absolute determination, candidates in The I Times-Recorder’s circulation sales campaign ana SIO,OOO Gift Distribu tion are today going at top speed to capture the leadershhip for the coveted gifts. The gong sonnds to night at 9 o’clock on this last big vote period. The campaign ends a wwee* from tonignt. Circulation campaign headquarters will be open tonight until 9 o’clock for personal calls. It is now but a matter of hours— something likek Boror 9 hours. In this short period of time'candidates have the best opportunity of landing votes on the “double quick” and lit-' erally cinching the gift they desire. A lead secured by the end of this period—before the gong soundst to night—should be almost impossible to overcome. Some Final Instructions Be careful in filling out your sub scription stuubs, always writing or printing the names of the subscriber plainly so there will be no mistake in the name, address, amount or length of £ime in entering the sub scription. Extensions should be plainly marked with the length of time of the first subscription and the period in which the subscription originated plainly designated. Candidates are urged to fill out their stubs at home. It is likely candidates will arrive at headquar ters all in a bunch as they did on the. two previous period closes. The circulation campaign manager will be busy waiting on candidates and if you take up unnecessary time fill ing out stubs after your turn arrives you will be holding up everybody else Fill out your stubs at home—count your money at home. See that the stubs and the money check. As To Mail Turn-ins The special attention of candidates especially out of town candidates and those who are working out of twon today, is called to the arrangement that has been made which affords every worker the advantage of se curing subscription right up to the last minutue of this big period (9 o’clock tonight) no matter where they reside. AIAI subscriptions placed in any postofice, anywhere, before 9 o’clock tonight, and so postmarked will be counted on the big third period vote schedule and final extension vote schedule, even though they do not reach The Times-Recorder office un til later. However where at all pos sible, turns-ins should be made today by the candidate in person. Can Accomplish Wonders Wonders can be accomplished be tween now and closing time tonight, mere is p.eaty of time in the few nours re-naming of this last big vote period to cincn your cohice of all the gifts included in the ? 10,000 x-.st. Votes pile up rapidly un til the closing hours tonight. The r.nai week sees the smallest vote scneuuie of the entire campaign in. effect. Ti.ere are no final favors. The big subscriptions count the most today. One new six-year sub scription, with clubs, counts more tnan six hunared thousand (600,000 votes until the expiration of the. big third period tonight. Two such subscriptions wwill produce more than one million two hundred thou sand (1,2uu,000) votes. Five new sixyear subscriptions will credit you more than three million (3,000,000,- OuO) votes. Ten new six-year sub scriptions until the closing hour to night will give you more than six million (6,000,000) votes. This schedule will never be repeated or extended. Only Until Tonight Second payments, or extensions, of subscriptions originating in the first and second periods can play an important part in your campaign until the close tonight. The final wweek affords no opportunities through extensions. Both the third period schedule and the extension 'ote schedule go out of effect to night, not to be repeated. The long term subscriptions and the second payment plan are short cuts that make it possible to be one ot the successful ones through ettort put forth these last hours— a little mathematics will prove it Close Fas and Furious -Never in this section of Georgia orV ° f any kind been so close or so hotly contested. Friends seem a nwst as interested as candidates tnemselves and a-e watching every gam with anxiety and eagerness, hoping and trusting that their choice may come under the wire first and be acclaimed the champion of cham pions, the proud winner of the big gest and most valuable motor car. today’s voting wil be the heaviest of the campaign. That is our pre diction this morning. What candi aates do today will be perhaps the greatest single factor in determin ing their statu sin this campaign, wneher they end their campaign a victor or finish as an “also ran.” We believe this is true—that no candi date this morning has enough votes to assure him or her any single gift is yet to be won and today will large ly determine results. Indications are the victors will win by narrow mar gins through the winning votes will be large. 100,000 EXTRA VOTES ON EVERY CLUB TURNED IN
