as to the reserve vote OF the diner
contestants, and also that the con-
test department may devote their
time to waiting on candidates de-
string to secure ballots on subscrip-
tions.
All candidates desiring to stand
we'll up in their respective districts
during the final days of the contest
must have votes deposited in the box
not later than Monday, December
| 1 9th, at p, m.
The vote of yesterday was one Of
the largest cast on a single day
since the contest started. Almost
all the contestants were heard from
and some voted thousands of bal
| lots. This has caused great changes
| to take place in the standing of the
contestants and glance at the list
will show the interest that is being
! taken by almost all of the contest
ants.
Some of the candidates think it is
good plan to be in the lead at this
stage of THE game and are drawing
heavily on their reserve to get there
Votes go out daily to people who
are not interested directly in the
contest and they generally cast their
votes for the candidates who stand
well in their district. A reserve is a
good thing to have, but the leader
ship is also a worthy ambition and
votes cast from day to day are not
lost by any means, as they all count
in the final Showing"
Nine Days Before Close.
After today the contest will have
nine more days to run. At IL
/ ~
cember IS, the good natured tug-of-
war will be at an end. Candidates
in every district are doing their best
to secure votes the last few days
and many surprises are in store for
those now in the first place. Prom
ise to subscribe for The Capital
Journal at a later date will be no
good after that date.
Those who are in the lead should
look after their laurels, for there are
many young women who are not In
the initial position who will make
very good records on the closing
days. 1T is then that the reserves
which have been boarded so careful
ly during the past weeks, will be
very much in evidence. Candidates
should make the most of every min
|
started down to the telling pull Of
the last few days. But nine more
days remain in this great contest
Not very many when you come tC
count them, is it? Well, that means
little hard work for every contes
tant in the race, especially those
who inthnd to make a showing or
the last day, December IS.
