Today you know the names of the
popular girls who VIII enter the u IL J.
letin popularity contest, and when
you glance at the list you will read
the names of as determined list as
could be picked. The contest will be
a warm one.
There are some of the contestants
who will learn for the first time to-
day of their entry In the contest.
They have been nominated by their
friends and will be backed by their
friends. and to fulfill the obligations
they have to their friends for their
interest In them will doubtless run,
and KUN hard to beat. for the prize.
The trip to Seattle will be a prize
worthy of the race-and the race
promises to be worthy of the price.
The five Alaska-Yukon Exposition
trips are well worthy of first prize
and will amply compensate the con-
tCstants.
As may be seen by the accompany
ing list of names, there are num-
Der of bright young women entered
from every district covered by this
contest. The list will probably grow
from day to day, and the voting will
be greatly increased. Nearly every
one has been waiting for the an
nOuncement of the names of the can
didates and the number of votes ac-
corded each.
Now that they are published.
friends and readers of the Bul e.
+ 0 should do all in their power TO
help the young contestants. Votes
came In more rapidly yesterday and
today than ever, and by the end of
next week the contest may have TAX
en- even more determined grip upon
the public interest. Vote often, and
keep steadily at It. Those who have
already entered the race have started
of well, but II is not ended yet, by
any means. II has hardly begun.
Subscribe to the II u lie Il n now
and give your votes all to your favor
lite candidate. II her name is not In
the list, enter II. She may win
free trip to one of these popular re-
sorts, 1t must not be taken for gran
ted that the leaders of today will be
the final victors. Not a young wom-
an in the race should feel discouraged
because another contestant In her dis
trict has hundred or two more
votes than she. The contest has
hardly begun and several more
weeks remain to bridge the gap
which separates the leader from those
u little further down the list. A
question OF few hundred votes or
even few thousand Is nothing.
Nearly all of the young women
have been waiting for the announce
ment of names before doing much In
regard to vote-getting. A few, how
ever, have started right In and have
gotten quite a number OF votes to
show for their weeks work. Those
who are behind little should take
into consideration what they could
have done II they had devoted the
time to vote-getting the leaders to-
day probably have. The race Is not
fairly commenced yet, and the whole
course is stlll to cover
II Is good idea ,to hold back the
votes gotten on subscriptions for
little time before polling. The cou-
pons clipped from the Bulletin
are the only ones which must be
polled within two weeks, and as
bank account is good for the mer-
chant, so also Is a reserve good for
the contestants. II the candidates
poll all their votes as they go along
there will be nothing to draw on In
case of emergency, and such things
do arise In contests of this character.

test Manager at once and secure sub
scription books, and there are a num-
her of things he would like to tell
you. in regard TO the best way Of Sc
curing votes. Call at once ut the
Blu ct n office.
