CONTEST NOW
WAKES WARM
Candidates for Jamestown
Exposition Trip Begin
to Get Excited.
MANY POOL ISSUES
In Some Instances Girls Enter Race
In Teams of Two and
Three.

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES Jamestown
exposition contest is now on in dead
earnest and the many candidates in
the various districts are already be-
ginning to feel the excitement of the
race.
A trip positively free to the beauty
spots of Virginia has appealed to the
young ladies all over the district COW
cred by this paper, and the candidates
and their friends are more interested
than ever in the project
/ 1t was hardly expected that there
would be so many candidates at this
stage OF the game, as many young wo-
men prefer to see a contest like this
started before announcing their can
didacy, and so it is expected that with
/ in the next few weeks the number
of contestants will be doubled in near
ly all of the districts.
In several instances young girl
friends have gone into the race to-
gether. with the idea Of working hard
to win and then taking the trip to-
! gether. This is a very satisfactory
plan, as it is then possible for the sue
cessful candidates to take the trip to-
/ gether and enjoy the companionship of
some intimate friend during the whole
trip.
This Is the Plan.
For instance, Miss Mary Blank and
Miss May Blank might think that 1t
would be much more pleasant if they
could make the trip together. They
would enter their names as candidates
and both solicit the help of their
friends to secure the votes necessary
! to win.
AS the secured votes are cast they
would be equally divided between the
two and both candidates would agree
to stand or fall. according to their
| joint ability to get votes. When the
contest closes if the two young women
have enough votes to win they may re-
joice in the prospect of taking the trip;
if they fail they can console each
other.
| 1t is feasible to have as many as
three girls agree upon this plan, and
if a party should be so fortunate as
| to win out, they would doubtless have
a time never to be forgotten.
In the following list of candidates it
will be noted that in several cases it
appeard that there were no votes cast
for them. In this respect the list is
misleading, for in a great many cases
votes have been cast Tor the respective
candidates whose names appear. but
they have not yet been brought or sent
to this office. This is especially true
of the outlying districts where it is
harder to communicate with the office
than in Hammond.
still Early in June.
Then, too, it is rather early to ex-
pect the votes to be cast in very large
numbers There are some of the can
didates who will not show their hands
for several weeks, but who are quietly
working to secure a lead before the
others are up to what is being done.
The success of the contest is, how
ever. already assured, and along about
the middle of the summer there will
be twelve of the happiest young ladies
in this end of the states of Indiana
and Illinois who will be bidding their
: friends goodby as they leave on THE
LAKE COUNTY TIMES special for Nor
folk, Va, and all the interesting and
| beautiful places enroute.
