With the stroke of 9 Saturday
night of this week the final period ,
of the Times-Recorder’s circulation 1
sales campaign and SIO,OOO Gift Dis- i
iribution ends. Saturday night, at 9 ■
J i . > ± . • • mil!
o’clock the campaign is over. Full t
and definite instructions pertaining; ,
to the closing days and final period ,
es the campaign are published today , ,
in a display announcement. This' 1
announcement will be repeated dur- ’
ing the week. Candidates are in- ■
structed to carefully read this an- ]
nowncement and be sure they under-|
stand it. If there is any phrase you 1
are not clear about it is your duty j
to find out at campaign headquarters!
The burden is on you, the candidate ■
this week.
The sealed ballot box is now 10-1
cated at the Planters Bank. During i
banking hours it is available to can- 1
didates and their friends who will
make turn-ins to the box, not to cam
paign headquarters.
But Three Day. Left
This campaign is now almost over.'
Three days are left. There will be '
some who will fight harder than everl
now. There will be others who will
“lay down” and probably as a result
will be compeled to accept defeat. '
We believe we are speaking the truth 1
today when we say that anyone who
sits back, satisfied or semi-satisfied
v, ith past performance, wili find oth-'
ers pushing ahead and leaping the;
rich rewards.
There is nothing certain, nothing;
sure. Every indication points to the
fact that the biggest gifts will be
won in the ballot box this week. Do
you understand what we mean? It
is just this—leaders and runners-up
go out of the third period and into j
the final period with credits so close !
that it will take production this week 1
or lack of it to determine the win- I
ners.
Work to Last Minute
Campaign, to the last minute.
Your last turn-in may be th e very I
one it takes to put you over to
victory and a motor car. Give your
competitors credit for being good
campaigners and then, after allow
ing them all and more than you fig
ure them, go them one better. That
is the way to win.
Remember this .others besides
you have been working and are
working. You have done well, may
be, but you have no reason to ac
cept your work as the pattern by
which qther:- work. Overconfidence
has lost more prizes than it ever won.
Forge Ahead This Week
And let this be said to each and
every candidate—you have no right
to take anything for granted. You
owe it to yourself to forg e ahead at
a fast pace during the short time
that remains. Every day—every
hour—of the limited time left should
be utilized to the fullest extent by
the earnest hustlers who really want
to take advantage of the opportun
ity presented this week.
If you fail to hit the ballnow, if
you fail to avail yourself of the tools
provided for your use, if you lack de
termination and easily get “your
ears knocked down,” if you lack
spirit, and pep and determination to
win you are going to have a poor
1 alibj. Excuses will not make you
votes. This business of winning is
positive, not negative. It is what
YOU accomplish that counts. And
much can be accomplished this week.
All Is Blind This Week

, closing details and checking up can-
i didates, the, the campaign this week
'is in the sealed box. Who will win is
l a queston we cannot answer if we
would. We don’t know. In each dis-
trict there are several contenders
who have it within their power to at
tain their objective this week. Pro
ducon in the ballot box alone will
tell the tale.
Details of Final Count
This week the ballot box, locked
and sealed, uesd in closing The
Times-Recorder’s circulation sales
campaign and SIO,OOO Gift Distribu
tion, is available to candidates and
their friends at the Planters Bank,
during banking hours. The bank is
open daily between the hours of 9
a. m. and 2p. nr.. On Saturday the
ballot box will remain at the bank
until the closing hour when it will be
brought to The Times-Recorder of
fice and placed conveniently in the
business office where it will be avail
able for turn-ins until the stroke of
9 o’clock Saturday night the hour
for closing the compaign.
To insure fairness in the awarding
of the prizes the race will be brought
to a close under the sealed ballot box
system and will be under the per
sonal supervision of two or more
Judges selected form the Advisory
Board. During the final days of the
; campaign, the box—locked and seal
; ed—will repose in the vaults of a
; local bank, where candidates and
their friends will deposit their final
collections and votes. And not until
the race has been declared closed
will the seals be broken, the bov un
locked, and judges begin the final
i count. In this way no one, not even
j the circulation sales campaign man
i ager or the publishers, can possibly
i know the final voting strength of
; the respective candidate, which pre
cludes the possibility of favoritism
| and insures fairness to the minutest
. degree.

lating to the plan for closing the cam
pagin will be printed today and it is
the duty of each and every candidate
to be familiar with them. If there is
