Territorial Ballot Box.
Send In your votes for the count
at once. 1t is well to hold back
few votes all the time, but you
should make as good a showing as
possible in the first few counts. The
second count, or the regular days
for the count, will be announced
soon. Don't keep the votes clipped
from the paper. They are good only
for a stated time, and the time
limit on them may pass IL you neg
lect to send them In. In order to
keep the deposited ballots absolute
ly safe and free from the tamper-
ing OF any person, and also to Sc
cure convenience for the voters,
Territorial Ballot Box was secured
from the Territorial Secretary. Dur
ing the day this box is kept in
convenient place for all who per-
sonally bring their votes to the
Bull etin office. Ballots receiv-
ed by mail are Immediately deposit
ed In the ballot box. Instructions
for the making out of ballots re-
ceived by mail are followed careful
ly. and when SO ordered are depos-
tied at once in the ballot box. When
no order is given for the disposal Of
the ballots, they are sent to the can
didates named. All such instruc-
tions are followed in secrecy, and
no one but the contest manager, who
makes out the votes, Is allowed to
know for whom you are voting.
Securing Club Subscriptions.
Thirty contestants for the Yosem-
ite-California tour made every
working moment of the first six days
Of the contest net them a magnifi-
cent number of votes. A number
of them secured within the first week
enough subscriptions to award
them the votes offered for club sub
scriptions. One popular contestant
has enough subscriptions now to
give her fifteen thousand bonus
votes. The contest manager is tell
Ing you this SO you will not think
that 1t is impossible to take advan-
tage OF the exceptional club offcr
made at the beginning of the con-
test. What others have done, you
can do. There are still fifteen days
left in which to secure these blocks
Of votes. and everyone who is ear
nestly trying to earn this summer
trip to California can get one or
several Of these subscription clubs.
Commendatory Letters Not
Published.
Interest in the beginning of a con-
test, In former years, on the outside
islands has always been lacking in
spirit for an early effort, but this
year, II possible, the initial inter-
est on Kauai, Maui and Hawaii out
ranks that OF Oahu. Over forty let
tiers were received on the Mauna
Kea. and every one of them contain
ed orders for subscriptions or votes
clipped from the paper. Some OF
the letters contained both. Two
letters were received In which the
writers stated their views as to who
were the best candidates named in
their respective districts. These
letters. nor any like them, will not
be published, as the contest manager
does not want to, and will not, give
privilege to one or two candidates
that is not enjoyed by all.
Getting, Not Letter-Writing.
Space would forbid the publish
ing Of letters about all, and hence
the publishing of letters about some
is forbidden. The contest manager
hopes to make this clear, and wants
to advise the letter-writters that
while he is always interested in any
thing dealing with the candidates
the best method to get results fol
friends is by vote-gathering and MOI
by letter-writing.
Z How to Help Friend.
II you have a friend In the con
test and want to see her win, sent
IL your subscription to the Bull
leffn and get your friends to d.
the same. A few subscriptions will
place your favorite candidate 81
high in the count that many witt
do not know the lady will commenc
to help her. as they wish to cas-
their votes for one who, It appears
has chance to win.
Nominations Not Closed.
