The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1890-11-30

to the Top How the Candidates
Stand.
Two new candidates have como forward the
past week to claim the proud distinction of being
the most popular boy or girl in Washington, but
votes have been png up for the old candidates
at an extraordinary rate. They have literally
come pouring in by the thousand, and if the in
terest continues to increase at the present rate,
the contest toward the close will be far more
spirited than that for THE HERALD's free vaca-
ton trip to Europe for the most popular school
teacher
The great interest which the public takes in
settling the question THE HERALD propounded
is no doubt largely due to the fact that the
children are concerned in it. In Europe they say
the children of first consideration in Ameri-
can households. and their fathers last. While
this may not be exactly true, it is certain what
ever interests affects the children is sure to
be forced on the attention and enlist the SYM
pathy of their elders sooner or later. The chill
dren have all heard about THE HERALD's
question and of the beautiful and valuable
prizes to be awarded when the public answers
it, and they are stirring things up at great rate.
A notable feature of the ballotng the past
week was the manner in which the devoted
friends and admirers of little Miss Madge Gill
bert rallied to the support of their favorite can
didate Last week her name at the bottom
of the list of candidates, but the ballots have
come in for her at such rate that now her
name leads all the rest. 1t was big jump. Miss
Madge Gilbertis the daughter of Hon. B. F. Gill
bert, of rakoma Park.
