Gave
Excellent Report
For Y. M. H. Assn. Last Week,
But Incomplete Returns
Leave Situation in Doubt.


The Y. M. II. Assn. came into their
own last week, the major portion of the
merchants, who are strongholds for
them, having reported, sending them
ahead with a rush. Partial reports from
business men frequently produce alb
normal leads, and voters should take
notice that from now to the end of
the contest you may not expect the
complete results to date at any time
until the last report, when, of course,
everything will be in. At this writing
the contest man has just finished count
ing a whopping big vote for St. Mary's
school, with the Dana Relief a close
second, all of which will make it's in
fuenee felt in next Mondays report.
The lead attained by the Marion A.
@. some time past created a stir among
the members of this worthy organiza-
ton. They had been planning and
working hard to climb up to the point
of greatest merit in the great battle
for votes, and now that this ambition
has been realized, every member is
with one acclaim shouting the battle
cry for victory. They have an active
committee appointed, composed Of real
live ones, who have shouldered the re-
sponsibility of success This clever
move is just barely in time to save the
day should they prove the winners.
Were the contest man a betting man,
his money would never go down on a
crowd who did not have some execu-
tive head to it.
In the case of schools the committee
proposition is not so absolutely essen.
tial, for the teachers are daily in a POI
sition to keep the interest and activi
ty alive among the pupils, who in turn,
go to their homes and make fife a bur-
den to the parent WHO. shows a lack of
full responsiveness TO their urgent APP
peal. 1t would indeed be a hard and
calloused heart that would not be NOV
ed to deeds of valor in the vote getting
business when petitioned by these
bright and winsome little warriors, who
want to carry the spoi1s to the teach
ers, so nea and lear to them. Every
member of that great Christian body,
st. Mary S church, should rise to the
occasion and be unfailing and un-
hinching in the good work, these re-
naming few days of the contest. It
seems that they are, for every ballot
box in the twenty-five yields forth much
fruit for st. Mary's school. Still it is
AS"oVAdbiO w nsNubIS LI6Ie are d6l1n-
quents in the ranks of every band of
workers, and they should now become
real soldiers in the cause. There are
two groeerymen right in the heart Of
the residential section. Greenspan
Brothers, who are reporting a heavy
vote for st. Mary's school, but not as
large as it should be. This feature
should be considered seriously by those
interested in the success of the school,
as the time is now here when every one
must rally to the flag.
To know that the EVENING NEWS
circulation department, is growing by
leaps and bounds, it is only necessary
to-, have q look into the ballot box at
the Philip Levine Co. Many old sub.
seribers are renewing daily buyers are
paying a years subscription in advance
and a few who have not heretofore
had their homes frightened by this
clean, bright and newsy newspaper, are
now able to give the password. With
each copy two or twenty-five big i'm
pressive votes take Judgement in the
ballot box. Polls open early and late
at the EVENING NEWS office.
THE CONTEST MAN.
