ing prevails. 1t is indeed fine list
of representative people that is before
our readers for their support aud No
class of people will be more thankful
for any favor than they would be for
the receipt Of few votes to their
credit when payments are made.
The question "who will win" Is often
! asked at tae Office but the only answer
we have ever been able to frame was
that the race is still to be run aud
much uncertainty might be expected
In answer 10 the much asked question
over the telephone "how are the
votes coming in to-day?" it always has
the same answer, "in bundles and by
the thousand"
AS to who will win largely depends
upon the kind of work that will be
done troaSnow on and the Kind oE
support that the candidates are able
to rally to their aid, 1t often occurs
that a good friend is able to get more
votes than the candidates themselves,
it is now foregone conclusion that
the real race is just beginning.

yincible In his stand for 1st place in
district number one. now yields that
position to Miss Ruth Posten by a
small majority. Miss Maude Hartley

Mr.. Alex Thorn, a railroad man, is

ley second. The largest gain how
ever made in this class on yesterday
was that Of Arle satterfeld, another
railroad man who will be found busy
from now on until the last vote is cast
on the Slst of August.
In class four Miss Morrow seems to
have decided lead which she has
held since the first vote was announc.
ed but still there is fine possibilities
for some changes in this class as Carl
Kerus. Miss Alma Parker, Miss Eil1
Jones and Miss Lillian Reed all have
loyal friends who continue to Increase
their vote from day to day.
Miss Ference Jack proves to be an.
other good runner as she seems to
have little trouble in ranking first in
class number FIVE although Writ
Faust, Miss wilderman and Miss Lloyd
