Paris Grange, South Paris, ........ 3O399 |
The contest just closed has proved to
be one Of the most successful and inter- |
esting ever inaugurated by the Demo-
crat.
The last week saw some very lively |
hustling done, especially In classes one,
three and SIX, and the score exceeded
anybody's expectations.
The contest, while exciting and ear
nest, has been Of the most friendly |
character throughout and the wisdom OF
the classes for defeated candidates has
demonstrated itself.
In recognition Of the very large score
made by the Paris Grange. IL being sew
eral times larger than that Of any other
defeated candidate, the publishers OF the
Democrat have voluntarily added class
eleven and placed the grange In the
list Of winners.
To Miss Elsie n. Bolster Of South |
Paris, belongs the credit Of working up
the highest score In the contest, NEARLY
sixty thousand. Miss Bolster has, up
to the last two or three days Of the con-
test, managed her own campaign and
worked up nearly the whole Of her i'm
mense score in field that was well
worked by candidates just as eager to |
win as herself. Miss Bolster Is the popu- |
lar daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. n. Dayton
Bolster Of South Paris. She Is only 10
years OF age and beyond question one
Of the smsrtest young ladies In Oxford
County. We have reason to think that
she has put more personal effort into this
contest than any other single candidate.
Miss Mildred Cross Of Norway, who
leads In her class, is one OF the most
popular young ladies in Norway. She
Is the daughter Of Deputy Sheriff Thsd-
deus Cross. Her large score shows that
she has some good friends.
Mr.. Donald II. Bean, who started In the
South Paris class, afterwards decided to
make his contest In class eight instead,
and accordingly employed the use OF his
uucle's name, Oscar G. Mason Of Mason,
Mr.. Bean working up the points and
taking the desk. Mr.. Bean Is the son OF
j. Hastings Bean, Esq, our popular
Register of Deeds. He has done some
good hustling as the Mason vote shows.
Miss Mollie s. Cole Of Buckfield, who
has worked up very large and winning
vote 10 class Ave, IL the little daughter
OF postmaster Alfred Cole Of that place
and very popular candidate as her
score Of over twenty-four thousand
amply demonstrates.
While the contest In class six did not
