LOWER RANK ENTRANTS
BALL0TING Was BRISK
There Was General Shifting of Standing, Excepting Among
the First Leaders, Who TenacouSy Hold
Their Positions

There was a general shifting of
standing among the contestants far
down in the ranks as a result of the
count yesterday evening. Several
with only six thousand totals at pre-
vious counts increased their score suf-
ficient TO place them past the nine and
ten thousand mark. Miss Daniels of
Maui, cast enough votes to make her
total more than 1900 and by so do
ing moved up to within two places of
the ten-trip lineup. No one will per-
haps he more surprised at this sudden
move than Miss Daniels. The votes
she received we're all office orders
made out to her credit In the course
of the last two days of regular sub
sCription business
Strengthens Standing.
Mrs. Lewis at first place strength
encd her standing with another block
of votes, sending her total soaring up
past the hundred and fifty thousand
point She Intends II possible TO &c
cure one Of the long distance trips
and hopes to get one that will take
her half across the American CONT
nent and back to Hawaii. Continue
ton of her present energetic cam
paign will without doubt award her
with the trip she wishes.
Battling For Second Place.
Miss Nellie Wong lacked just five
hundred votes TO have placed her one
point farther along the line and to
have forced McTighe, who cast no
votes, down point. Her balloting
as II was. saved her place at third, as
Manuel Peters put in enough votes to
make her standing anything other
than secure.
Two Heavy Voters.
John Fern was really the heavy vot-
er of the day. He boosted his total
up to the thirty-threc thousand limit
and moved into line with the candi-
dates whose present standing would
give them one of the ten trips. Vim.
Peterson was another heavy voter
Island Activity.
The balloting among the outside
island contestants was strong enough
to prove activity although none Of
them excepting Miss Daniels and Mrs.
Overend are within touch OF the trip
line.
Leading Organization Standing the
Same.
The shifting in standing of the or
ganization candidates was of ones at
the bottom of the line at former
counts. Several Of them, like the Kea-
liza, Puunene and Lihue Clubs re-
Ceivcd two and three thousand votes,
which entities them to the considera-
ton other organization candidates
will have to give them before the
contest ends.
The Eagles made the best showing
yesterday excepting the hustling
Kams, who are seriously trying to get
out of shouldering distance of the 9TH
or piano aspirants. They passed the
fifty thousand mark and are setting
a strong pace for the other entrants.
A few more days of voting like that
of yesterday by the Eagles would put
them In the Kan class.
ST. Elizabeth's Memorial Church has
a set of energetic hackers who are
making a good showing for early
work.
Personidcation Of Secrecy.
There Is really no way that your
opponents can find out what number
of votes you cast for each count. The
contest man, as some of you have
learned by experience, Is the persona
fcation of Secrecy, when questioned
prior to the count regarding how
many votes any of the other candi-
dates have cast Often he does not
know, but even when he does he will
not tell until the count Is finished and
all inquiries can be answered alike,
The giving out Of anything that would
give one candidate an unfair advant-
ago over another Is seriously avoided
by the Bul n, although any
knowledge that tends to increase vote
totals is given out equally and fairly
to all entrants.
Vote Judgment.
Use good judgment In casting bal
lots. Suppose you lead the list, dc
not put in too many votes but hold
