T0DAY's LEADERS.

1t took two men six hours to make
the count of votes for the ten days
contest balloting just passed. The
Territorial ballot-box In which the
votes are deposited until counted was
SO full OF votes on Saturday that 1t
was necessary to frequently lamp
them in order TO get in more. In all,
there were about three hundred thou
sand votes cast for this count. lit
tie more than, seventy thousand be-
ing cast by friends of popular Miss
Pangelinan of District /.
Perhaps no one will be so surpris-
ed with this big vote as Miss Pange-
Imam. While some of the votes were
turned over to and deposited by her
In the box, a great many were cast
by friends who came or sent orders
direct to the ulletin office and
had the votes issued to her credit.
This jump well past the two hun
bred thousand mark is an indication
of the number of the votes II Is go
ing to require four weeks from now
for the final ballotlng.
District had several other big
blocks cast for other candidates. Miss
McCabe holds the position In the list
that will give her the second trip Of
fered in District /. II she can re.
tain the position to the end, but Miss
Sasaki is close follower for this
honor; she in turn is almost as close
ly followed by Miss johnson, and she
by Miss Macy. A matter of fifty
thousand votes, as shown by the last
count, is not definite assurance of an

gest block of chaperone votes cast.
One District leader, Miss Akamu.
passes the twenty thousand point and
holds the. leadership. The efforts OF
this Hilo contestant are meeting with
gratifying results, but, like some of
the other outside island contestants,
she is retaining many of her votes
for later counts. Miss Helen Watson,
another popular Hilo girl. who has
friends both, in Hilo and Honolulu,

that when the final count is made
she will be one of three whose stand
Ing will have to be considered be-
