Those Who Enter Campaign Now ! Will Find “Easy Picking.” Elec- ion-Just Starting. THREE CLOSED CARS OFFERED Early Start Bound to Enhance Ef- forts of Workers—Spare Time Is All That Is Required. How come? With The Dallas Post putting over $5,000 in big speedy hand- some automobiles and cash, the great campaign has not seen candidates en- tering as they should. Perhaps it is because the prizes are so stupendous that one can hardly believe it all. Anyway, no matter why, some one, maybe you, is losing a won- derful opportunity. Awards will ab- solutely be made, no matter whether there are 100 candiddates or a half ‘a dozen candidates. Now, with! few candidates entered is the time to cash in to get a lead. It is easy now. A worker, one with real ambition and pep, can take a lead that will be hard to overcome on the home stretch. More votes are given on subscriptions now than later. That, too, helps. OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL N The pessimist sees only the hole in the doughnuts, while the opitmist— well, you know the rest. Look for the beautiful if you would have it—cash in on the opportunities that are of- fered. you if you would profit accord- ingly. Such an opportunity—the equal of which has never been offered you be- fore—is now being presented to you. In a few short weeks from now The Post will reward the energetic hustlers | of this section, and the opportunity existing for more “live wire” campaig- ners to enter the election, and make themselves important factors and probh- able winners of the. grand prize, is actually calling aloud.

A printer's devil in the Post's printing office also lays claim to a record and the distinction of be- ing the only man in Luzerne county who ever attempted t> change one man into another per- sonality. Last week under the caption, ‘“Exonerated Coun.y Offi- cials and Trial Judge,” the Post ran the pictures of a number of. county officials recently exoner- ated of conspiracy by the Luzerne county court. In the place allctted to the picture of ex- County Controller Harry Butts, appeared the picture of ex-Sheriff Remmel LaBar. In some mys- terious manner, known only to prir.ters’ devils, who know nothing of county personalities, M:. La- Bar's picture was substituted for that of Mr. Butts. Althougn many miraculous changes have been made at times in the methods of spelling and sentence structure, the printer's devil until last week had been able to get pictures in . the paper straight. Perhaps four at one time were too much for “him. At any rate last Saturday was a busy day around the Post office’ for most of the day was - spent in answering telephone calls from readers who wanted to set the editor right on the pictures and names of ex-county officials. To Mr. Butts and Mr. LaBar the Post offers its apologies and to our readers congratulations for being quick to discern mistakes.
