The railroad strike seems again largely effective in the Ruhr
and important districts in the Rhinelund. Navigation on the Rhine
from Ruhr points is reported at a complete standstill.
No details have followed the reported ad once of the French in
a new area, twenty-five miles beyond the German frontier into Hesse,
where they were said to have occupied Goddclau.
Present indications point to this
week as being a repetition of the close
of the tirst vote period some ten days
ago. A number of the candidates in-
quired at the campaign ottice yester-
day for additional subscription blanks
with which to complete the Week.
Several stated they had just enough
blanks left at the start of the week'to
take care of those who had prom-
ised them subscriptions before, the
close of the second period, and as
nothing should stand in their way of
getting these promised subscriptions.
they were not going to stop there, but
intended adding thousands of other
votes to their reserve by getting other
subscriptions before 8 o'clock Satur-
day night.
The logic in such reasoning can be
seen plainly. Every candidate who
has winning ambitions realizes that in
order to satisfy this winning desire—
in order to win one of The Evening
Sentinel prize cars, they must be one
of the three highest vote holders on
the night of March 3rd. They also
know that the votes can only be had
i—that is {\0. votes that really count.
the big votes—from subscriptions
turned in at the campaign office. It
will never be possible to buy them.
Hence, it the real way of getting
votes lies in getting subscriptions.
where is there any argument against
getting them when they can be ex-
changed for the largest remaining
votes of the campaign?
"I: you .are a candidate. there are
two avenues open to you to secure big
votes this week. One is checking up
on thone people who have promised to
give you a subscription. but who have
failed to fulfill thatmromlse. All of
you have several or more on your list
of prospects. Watching these ptom-
ised subscriptions carefully this week
and cashing in oi: them will add
thomnds of extra votes to your. to-
m.
The other way is through extended

ting a second subscription from some-
one who gavc youasubscription pre-
viously. Anyone who has taken less
than the limited number of years is a
propect for an extended subscription,
but particularly those Who gave you
that six-month subseription' the first
time. The pleasing feature about
these extended subscription is that
they bring many more votes than was
given for the first payment.
The reason for this may easily be
understood if you will study the vote
list. You will note that a. yearly sub--
scription bring more than double the
number of votes given for a six-month
subscription. Therefore, if you have
turned in a. six-month subscription
and secure another payment of six
months or more. the votes on the sec-
ond payment will be the number that
will bring the total votes issued to
equal the amount, for a. yearly pay.
ment. ‘
-Another thing that should claim the
careful attentio‘n’" of the candidates is
the $20.00 clubs. As everyone knows,
the balance sheet in the campaign of.
fice shows the amount necessary to
complete each club. - Before the end
of the week arrives, be sure to get in
touch with the campaign office and
learn the exact, amount of your bat-
ance. Don't under any circumstances
have a. big balance standing to your
credit after Saturday night. for to
wait until next wwk before complet-
ing the club means losing 25,000 votes.
' There is no candidate on the list who
can afford totlose that many votes
with the race as even as it now is.
