Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1910-05-09

Four candidates-two trip and
two chaperone contestants-in the
Yosemite-Ca California Contest lacked
less than Ave thousand votes OF cast
ing n hundred thousand votes for the
Saturday count.
The vote of Miss Emma Akamu,
district leader in District /, was one
OF these. and she also gained the
credit of casting the first heavy vote
recorded from Hawaii. The other
trip contestant who cast big vote
was Miss Mary McCabe. who by her
big vote moved up within six thou
sand votes of the two hundred thou
hand mark. Evidently she has in
tentions of regaining the lea in Dis
trict 1.
The surprising thing about the
heavy vote of the two chaperoB can
didates Is the similarity OF the vote
totals. Although both cast over
twenty thousand votes, there was n
difference of only three hundred and
I. twenty votes in the number cast.
The big vote OF Mrs. w. c. Moore
moved her from second to first place.
While Mrs. Siemson cast the biggest
block of chaperone votes, she failed
to advance from third, though only
few thousand votes separate her
and Mrs. Beggs at second.
Twelve other ear didates showed
material gains in Il is count, many
of them having several thousand
votes, although not llocks of twenty
thousand, like those cast by the four
heavy voters.
Saturdays mail brought in by far
the largest Maui and Hawaii vote
yet received. The reserve of many
OF the candidates on these Islands
is going to be startling ts some Of
the candidates in these districts who
are inclined to think that they are
far enough in advance to assure them
the trip.
Even though there are only three
weeks more of the contest left, no
one is certain winner, as the vote
issue stands today. A fortunate
weeks work is apt to put any can
didate in the lead.
Again, the contest manager thinks
II would be wise to- advise some who
are holding back big reserve to !
cast enough votes to prove to your
friends that you are in position to
make your probabilities of winning
as good as those of any other candi-
date.
Show your friends some OF the re.

activity. Don't have the misfortune

that you had so many votes" Show
them now. Don't wait until after
the final count, when your friends |
can do nothing but console you.
Break the lead of your nearest com
lpetitor with a big block OF votes.
Promises of Support.
Candidates should insist on their
friends making good their promises,
as often something turns up which
causes them to change their minds.

Collect at once; do not be put of by
promises. II is as easy for a man to
pay today as week from today.
All the contestants are doing very
good work, and you would be sur
prised to know how fast the sub
scriptions are coming in to this Of
lice. Candidates should poll a few
votes every day to let their friends
know that they are still in the race.
