Sensation of Contest, Howexer, viii Be Race
for Free Trip and Expenses to
Territorial Fair at Phoenix
MISS WILLIAMS AGAIN LEADS


Miss Mile Williams, with only a
slight expenditure Of energy, won the
5000 premium vote offered by the Con-
test Editor for the greatest number of
subscribers secured during the past
week, and passes TO leading position
this morning.
The Silver Belt warned the eontes-
tants Thursday morning that the 5000.
premium vote would be "easy money"
this week, and suggested that it would
make handsome and telling increase
for quite a number Of young ladies;
but, strange as it may seem, only two
contestants-Miss Williams ard Miss
Voris-secured new subscribers this
week. Miss Williams secured ~ points
and Miss Voris 4 points. The Silver
Belt, without solicitation, secured 81
new subscribers over the counter this
week, or total of 1851 points. This
fact is recited to prove to contestants
that Globe offers wonderful possibili-
tiles and has by no means been can
vassed.
There arc still outstanding something
like 10000 votes, which will undoubt-
eddy be cast during the present week.
Twenty thousand of these votes are
held by the friends and supporters of
one Of the cand' dates in the black fig.
ures. They announce that they will de.
fer casting this bath until they have
secured a sufficient number to place
their candidate in the leading position,
where they will try to keep her until
the end of the controversy. Their con.
tcntion is that those in the lead today
have about expended their strength and
from now on out it will be easy picking
for some of the other candidates who
have been down in the light figures 30
far. There may be something in this,
but the field is just as free to one can.
didate as another, and after some Of
those in the light figures have run up
to 10000 they may. decide that their
strength has been slightly impaired.
A phenomenal vote has been east so
far, and as the contest has something
like sixty days TO 90, il would not be
at all surprising if the leaders were
well up in the six figures ut the close.
A Trip to the Territorial Fair.
All work and no play would make d
duh boy Of Jack, they say. Well, all
work and no play may have tendency
TO make dull tho list Of contestants, and
the Contest Editor is going to give
one or two Of the young ladies pleas
ant and profitable vacation. The ter,
r;torial fair will open at Phoenix on
November 9. The Silvert Belt is going
to be represented at this exposition by
ono or more of its fair contestants. Just
how the selection is to be made the con
test editor has not as yet decided, but
il will be based on new subscribers Sc
cured, so YOU can commence today to
secure them. We will reveal the scheme
in day or so, maybe in Tuesday morn
:ng's Silver Belt However, we propose
to pay all the expenses Of one or more
of the contestants during three.day
stay at the fair. This includes rail
road fare, meals en- route, hotel bills
in Phoenix, and maybe a little spend
ing money. Yoa know the Silver Belt
never does anything by halves, and the
contestants who are fortunate enough
to win this trip viii certainly have
a good time. If a single contestant goes
a chapcron will BIO provided for. All
we can tell you definitely about this
! scheme ia that IL will take new sinh
scribers to earn the trip, so dig in.
