day In a position where she can cas-
lily be one of the future leaders. Mrs
Lewis Ia to be congratulated on her
excellent first showing.
Came Late But
The count throughout was fraught
with many possibilities. II looked for
a long time that VIM. Peterson had
sacrificed the first prize for men and
boys by being half hour late in de-
posting his votes. lie came in at
half past twelve with all his coupons
and was told that they would be
counted but that he was DISQUALIFIED
as prize winner. He accepted this
decision of the contest department.
This was done and when finished It
was felt he would have won II he had
deposited his votes in time.
Mans Prize 10 Peters.
But the counting of Manuel Peters
votes showed that he had lead of
more than four thousand. While the
votes Of J. Goeas were being counted
Mr.. Peters standing as the man with
the most votes nearest the leader was
In doubt, but he safely held his posi-
ton, although only by small mar
gin.
Miss Wong Gets Prize.
Miss Nellie Wongs securing of the
prize for the first woman or girl con-
testant nearest the FIRST leader was
one OF the surprises of the contest
count, to the contest department IL
was thought that Mrs. Overend OF Ho-
nokaa would safely hold the lead that
she had gained early In the contest
but Miss Wong and her many friends
by creditable vote squirt gained the
lead in the last day of voting. Miss
Wong has the whole of Honolulu in
which to gain support. Mrs. ,Overend
at present il limited to Honokaa,
which Is rather small in comparison,
but she will now undoubtedly secure
support from all over the big Island
of Hawaii. since she has made such a
fine start
Student Prize Winner.
John Leite of Paukaa, Hilo, Is one
of the Blu letin's travel contest
surprises. A school boy with a lin
tied acquaintance, but hustler, Sc
cures enough votes to win the stu
dents prize, iive-dollar mercantile
order. His friends must feel graft
fed indeed when they consider that
he outdistanced the student candi-
dates who are enrolled at Kamehame-
ha, Punahou and st. Louis. And all
these student contestants have vote
totals that are Il complimentary show
ing of their energy. One at least
will soon prove one of the most ac-
tive candidates. To young Leite the
credit of good start must go and
now that he has made his first show
ing he should secure the support of
many friends who wanted some evil
dence of his ability as vote getter.
Fifty Workers.
Fifteen candidates secured more
than nine thousand votes, which Is a
large vote total for three weeks work
considering that one has Il total of
more than one hundred thousand
votes, and that there are more than
fifty contestants who show one to
four thousand vote gains.
Among the fifty candidates there
are workers who will later surprise
some Of the leaders of today. Right
from the beginning some of the can
didates have believed In holding votes
In reserve and they will cast these
some time later when leading contest
ants grow over-confident
Plano and Trip Votes.
There are other candidates whose
showing today is not very good who
have arranged for the support of some
organization which wants to secure
u fine piano. All the candidates had
one weeks advance notice of the pi-
ano offer made by the Bulletin

been making satisfactory arrange
ments for combined help The vote
