The San Francisco call., 1907-01-12

II is hard TO say how many votes are
being held in reserve by any candidate te
or how many more will be secured by
them before 10 o'clock tonight, but it
is safe to predict that many of the
popular and diligent workers will at
least double their present scores today.
Sacred Heart College, which is work
Ing for the grand capital prize in order
TO secure a fund for the rehabilitation
OF its library, still maintains the lead
4 by plurality of something over 5000
votes. Miss Hayward remains a close
second, and she will find 1T difficult to
oyertake the college if the friends of
the institution continue a loyal sup
port. Miss Hayward is lighting gall
lantly 70 capture first prize If she can,
or at least TO hold second place TO the
end. Neither of the. leaders polled
their full vote yesterday, so 1t is hard
70 hazard a guess as TO just how they
stand.
Mrs. Deasy Of Napa, Reuben Beber-
gall and Don Campbell, the remainder
4 OF the high five" did not render any
report at all yesterday, but they will
be heard from today
Mrs. John Laudon increased her total
/ by several thousand and is a little
nearer TO regaining sixth place.
Mrs. Rosa E. Tracy, the bustling
candy woman OF San Rafael, had the
good luck TO move UP three degrees,
from fourteenth to eleventh place, at
/ the expense Of George Stolzenwald,
Miss Erwin and John Souther.
J. S. Hall, who entered the contest al
the eleventh hour, moved up four de-
grees. from No 2S TO No. "a. and is now
within the limit Of prize winners. John
( z. Raber is the last of the lucky TWEEN =
ty-fve as the score stands now, while
Miss Mamie Burrows has Joined the
/ Down and Out" club. Today there
Will be wild scrambling among the
( tail-enders to get within the prize
winning limit
MISS BRIoDY AT WATSoNvILLE
Some Of the country contestants are
! likely TO furnish some surprises for
their city rivals. II reports from the
south prove true Miss Gertrude Briody
of Santa Cruz viii make a sensational
finish in the first heat of the race.
Miss Briody is not confning her efforts
10 her home town. but is making a sys-
tematic canvass Of the whole OF Santa
Cruz County.
watsonvilIe, the rich center of the
great Pajsra Valley, located in Santa
Cruz County. has an enterprising class
Of citizens. who are loyal to their coun-
" and also to the sweet singer of San
ia Cruz, and II will certainly be nc
fault Of theirs if Miss Briody does not
head the list OF winners in the first
series of the contest. Miss Briody
has been making a thorough canvass
Of Watsonville, starting in her work
by securing the hearty support Of the
Mayor, W A. Trafton, and George Sill
