The first list of nominations already
received, and published below, fs good
evidence that The Frontier’s big offer
has already created an interest far
ahead of anything of the kind in this
• locality for a long time. And is it any
wonder when you stop to think that
the capital prize is equivalent to a
fair year’s salary?
But this is not all, other prizes will
be awarded from time to time during
the progress of the contest, so that
contestants may have reward for
their work as they go along, and no
one, who does anything at all, can
lose.
Now a word 10 those nominated.
No one should hesitate to start to
work because others from the same
neighborhood may be in the list, or
because of the apparently large num
ber of nominations. The real fact of
the matter Is that the more who work
the easier it will be to win and the
contest can be concluded in less time
than if the field has to be covered by
a few.
Another thing, it should not be sup
posed that locality is any advantage
or disadvantage. A candidate resid
ing in the smallest settlement in the
county has just as good a chance to
win as some one in or near to O’Neill.
Votes are what will count—not
locality or position—and the ones who
get the most votes will be the ones
who go after them.
If your name appears in the list,
there is either of two things to do.
Communicate with the conttst mana
ger and state where or not you are
going to make the race; but a little
advice to everyone is to go ahead and
take your chance with the rest. You
have nothing to lose while even your
spare time could make you the winner
of the best and most valuable prize
ever offered In this county; besides
there is the opportunity of winning
several special prizes while trying for
the big one, with the further guaran
tee of a cash renumeration if you do
not win an/ of the prizes.
If your nomination Is not in the Hat
get It In at once and take advantage
of this big opportunity for rich re
ward. .* /
Remember that lots of people never
get anywhere simply because they de
liberately neglect opportunities, and
bemoan their fate because they never
have any luck. This 13 not a matter
of luck but more a prosposltion of
pluck and you might be the winner if
you will try. You are sure to lose if
you do nothing.
Strike while the iron Is hot. Now
is the time. The contest is just Sttyrt
ing.
Further and detailed particulars of
the contest will be found on another
page, and the first list of nominations
follow below. Everyone nominated
has been notified by letter, and if any
names have been omitted from tile
following list notify the contest mana
ger at once.
The race is on. Who will head the
list on the first count of votes, which
will be shown next week? Who will
win the first special prize—-the dia
mond ring which will be given away
