NJ TINS time among tne Trip contest
ants.
| Definite assurance of how many
votes will be needed, II is impossible
to give, owing always to the uncer-
tainty of final contest counts. But
comparison of the vote gains made
last. year in the last two weeks of
voting gives something to base a
prophesy on.
Average Gain 100000 for Two Weeks.
by taking combined totals of the
votes of the leading trip contestants
ON May 18th, two weeks before the
close of the Yosemite Contest. and
dividing by the number of contest
ants, II is learned that there was an
| average gain of two hundred thousand
votes for each contestants total.
Three Hundred Thousand Fairly Safe.
Judging by this many of the present
leading contestants will have to
double their present totals, and some
of them to treble II, to be sure of a trip
after the final count. A rather GER
tain total would be somewhere In the
immediate vicinity of three hundred
thousand, although there is slight
| possibility of the ninth and tenth
place trips being earned by total
Of IA hundred thousand less.
Many VIII Try for These Places.
The difficulty of trying to secure n
trip with the smaller vote total is
five to seven candidates with totals
near two hundred thousand. As said
before u total of three hundred thou
sand or a few more is the most GER
tain total to depend upon.
Not so Many Subscriptions Required.
Three hundred thousand votes, are
not so very many. when one considers
the large amount of votes issued on
long term subscriptions. One young
man is confident that he will earn a
trip by turning in only ten subscrip-
| tions-but they are all to be iive-
year daily orders. This would make
his toal little more than three hun
dred thousand
Most Candidates Have u "Safcty.
Subscription.
| Almost every active candidate Is
counting on turning In one or two
iiye-year subscriptions as safety" for
the contest close. Thirty or sixty
thousand votes added to the votes of
twenty yearly daily subscriptions
will give an approximate vote of one
hundred thousand This of course
would be comparatively safe ground
only for the leading candidates above
fifth or sixth place; secure this much
If you are in either of these posi-
tons, and you may he fairly sure of
getting trip. To the others all that
can be said is: get as many or more.
All will need all they get But do
not be discouraged. This Is more apt
to brighten the candidate just below
you. than 1t Is you, so keep up the
good work The winners, which
means the stickers and the workers,
will get the trips
PrOphesy, Not u Promise.
The contest prophecy given above
Is based merely on comparison of
the increase of vote totals at former
contest ends and Is not taken from
summing up the vote issue up to the
present time, nor should any part of
II be taken as an additional promise
on the part of the Bulletin. The
trips are to go to the ten people who
get the most votes. There is no other
Bulletin promise to depend upon,
But upon this you can rely implicitly
Make the Goal Safe One.
| BY making the three hundred
thousand mark your goal, you have
something specific to work for during
the next two weeks and II you pass
that point and are one of the first
ten you will get the additional mile
age credit and reward.
