El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-03-31


a day at The Herald office and see the
immense number of coupons which come
in by every mail they would realize
even more than they do at the present
time the amount of interest which their
friends are taking in the contest. Many
are the subscribers who have some IA
vorite whom they want TO see at the
top of the voting list and for whom
they are saving the voting coupons
Some of them are SO eager to help that
they cannot wait for the coupons to
accumulate but are sending them in
singly every day. Others let their
coupons pile up for a few days and then
send them to be counted, while still
other friends are SO interested that they
are not satisfied with the votes which
the coupons from their own paper will
count. but are collecting coupons from
everyone whom they can induce to part
with them.
Helpers of this kind count but their
efforts will be more productive as soon
as they realize that the votes which
they can get by collecting ayear's sub
scrfption in advance, from the same
people to whom they go to collect cou-
pons will give their favorite several
thousand votes in addition to those the
coupons will bring. No one who is enough
Interested in the contest TO cut out and
subscription in advance for the benefit
of a candidate, as 1t costs no more
than it will to remit in the regular way
and there IS the pleasure Of feeling
that someone has been helped in a
aaudabie effort to w in a valuable prize
H. NJ. Walker, Of Morenci, again
heads the list with Mr.. Mullineaux of
MADEIRA, Mexico, a close second. These
two gentlemen have had the honor of
Loo fvlrr
since the start of the contest but the
friends of several Of the young woman
contestants have declared that they in
tend TO have that coveted position for
one of their favorites before many days
lapse
Third place is held by Miss Fay Nc
Reyes of Deming. n. N. 1t is no secret
that she is after the automobile and
will give somebody race for the prize
II others hope to hand in more votes
before May 10 than she does.
Fourth place is held by one of the
most systematic contestants in the con-
test. Mrs H. W. Townsend is manag-
ing her own campaign and has seen to
it that every one of her friends who has
evinced any interest in her campaign
has become a working unit in her or
ganization. This kind of work makes
her strong candidate and one who will
DC dDlc 10 keep Wen IO~IGe front.
Fifth place is a big surprise and one
which will make some Of the contest
ants look to their laurels. Cananea
has entered one of its most popular
young women, Miss Josie Moore. And
everybody knows Cananea. 1t worried
the life out of the other towns in this
section by the classy baseball team
which it maintained last summer and
the chances are that any of the other
Il
want their contestant TO win the first
prize instead Of seeing it go to Cananea
Miss Goldie Blumenthal, of Douglas,
is keeping right in the van and is
rapidly getting her friends interested
in her candidacy. She was handicapped
by a late start but is making good in
creases and will soon be a competitor
for first place.
