All contestants are enthusiastic over
the arrival of the fleet The contest
department can see 1t markedly. as
few votes were turned in yesterday.
Few thus far have shown any great
desire to win the 5000 special fleet week
prize, but there are two days left and
two days are 4s hours that can be
packed full of earnest endeavor.
Some OF those who have done ener-
getic work recently are the following:
SOME ACTIVE CONTESTANTS
Grand prize district Az is one of the
small districts, but one Of the liveliest
ones a WELL. J. de la Montanya leads
with 34,27S votes, followed by Miss
Gladys Smith. Joseph Malone and P. J..
Wilhelm. and 1t is predicted that strong
competition will result. An interesting
district is Al. The three leaders, Miss
Bernhardine Bruse, Eddie Payne and
Miss Eta Logan, are making an ex-
tremely, even race, there being only a
few hundred votes difference in their
respective standings.
CA resembles Az in that the four
contestants working here stay about
side by side In the race. Miss Hazel
p Journey has been In the lead from
the start. but today Miss Norma Kirtlan
takes this place and assumes the lead.
Miss Journey second and Miss Amelia
Saner third, while w. A. Hayes follows
as close fourth. Some keen rivalry
should soon be developed in this dis
trict.
Three months subscriptions and
those for longer terms should be sought
with great earnestness, as those count
for points on the special fleet week
offer of 5000 in gold. This offer will
close Saturday night at 10 o'clock. but
votes which are mailed in outside dis
tricts and postmarked before that hour
will be counted although they may not
reach The Call office within the limit

Democracy is something very DIFF

The Democratic policy has ever been,

interfere no more than may be neces-i

or corporations In the conduct OF their
business. Intelligent and just regula-i
