standing of the chaperone contest
ants in the Bull lett MS Yosemite
California contest as result of Sat
urday's balloting. Two blocks OF
ehaperone votes--one for more than
forty thousand, the other for more
than thirty-caused a general shift
ing Of the names of the three
leaders.
Mrs. Beggs was moved from first
TO third place; Mrs. Siemson from
third to second, and Mrs. Moore from
second to first. Mrs. Siemson cast
the most votes, but the previous
score of Mrs. Moore was larger and
gave her the lead.
Eleven thousand votes separate
the FIRST two leaders; fifteen thou
sand the second two. This is COM
paratively few votes at this stage OF
the contest, and some startling
changes may be looked for. There
is nothing at all decisive in this
shifting of positions; II indicates,
though, that the chaperone candi-
dates believe that II pays to occupy
FIRST place when possible.
District contestants are just the
opposite. Every one of them have
thousands of votes. but they are
clinging to them with tenacity
that shows that they believe that a
big reserve will be necessary ut the
contest close. Seventeen district
trip asplrants received votes at the
last count, but most OF them were
content TO cast only their paper bal
lots.
The outcome of the fight for first
and second place in District is not
entirely shown by present scores. At
least five contestants are striving
for these two trips, and the final
score may show that candidates who
are not now among the leaders have
sufficient votes to place them there
at the last count.
:. Nevertheless, the candidates who
are occupying the leading positions
are securing a large scattering vote,
a part of which those who are hold
ing all in reserve might get II they
would make a showing OF strength,
A District 3 contestant, who Il Is
claimed has enough subscriptions
collected to give her at least hun
dred thousand votes, would have
greatly increased her vote total III
she had from the first cast few
votes for every count. Many people
have lost belief in her ability to win
the District trip. She Is confident, |
though, of being able to cast the
most votes for the final count. and
has a perfect right to reserve all her
subscriptions and votes until the
last. II she wishes.
No Paper Votes After Saturday.
the coupons In the paper good for
hve votes will not appear after next
Saturday. The number OF votes for
which coupons are good will remain
the same until taken from the pa
per. The reason for not running the
coupons during the hnal week Is that
an advantage would be given Ho-
nolulu subscribers over those on the
outside islands. The island readers
would not have time to mall all the
coupons back for the final count.
