Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1912-04-01

There is change of leadership in
two divisions Of the big foreign tour
and prize contest of the Alexandra
Gazette today as the result of the vot.
ing Saturday when more than $4,000
special ballots were cast for fourteen
contestants not to say any thing about
the coupons. The voting brings two
new leaders to the front. These are
Miss Nellie Uhler and Miss Esther T.
Heisley. Several candidates voted
voted some but not quite strong en-
Ough to sit in the band wagon. Miss
Harriet Spofford voted nearly 5000
special ballots but that was not quite
enough to take the lead. Miss Spot
ford is not very strong voter but is
q hard worker and has determine
ton to make the trip to Europe next
summer and, still there are others in
tie same district that are doing some
good work too. 1t il; going. to take
some effective work in the next twelve
days if you care to make the trip.
The second district keeps its record
for voting. Miss Ficklin is forced to
second position by Miss Heisley. The
third district has the same leader.
Some of the candidates have taken the
advice of the contest manager and vot
ed some of their specials and it
would be a good idea for some Of the
others to do the same thing.
Two More Weeks!
Just two weeks from tonigh. at 9
o'clock and the contest will come to 4
close; and that is a statement that
should mean much to each candidate.
Do you want to take the trip next July
and August? If so you will have to
win it this period. The experience of
the writer is that the lady who is sue
cessful is the that does the most hus
ting. and gets the most subscriptions
during this period. In fact the trips
will be won this period. Will you be
the successful candidate or will it be
another? You just have two weeks
from tonight to decide. You should
put forth your very best efforts if
YOU want to go to Europe next July
and Augustus guests of the Gazette.
Hustling All Along the Line
AS the closing day of the Alexan.
dria Gazette's contest draws near, the
interest is hourly growing and the can
didates and their friends are working
harder than ever. And those do we'll
who do so, for but twelve days remain
and in these day any Of the candidates
who choose to do so can win the tour
in their own respective districts, re-
pardless of the lead the other candi-
dates may have for the honors. In
each of the districts the difference be-
tween the highest and the lowest can
aidates is so small that it would take
very few subscriptions to place any
candidate in a position where she
would lead all her rivals and carry
off the honors at the end of the con-
test. :
In view of this fact it behooves
each candidate to keep moving and Sc
cure every possible subscription.
Talking Ozark Horse.
The rumor of new candidate be-
ing sprung in one of the districts is
still being industriously circulated
and it really begins to look as II there
was some foundation to it. Where
there is so much smoke there is al
ways some fire." may apply in this
case and may not, but it would be the
part of wisdom for those already in
the race to keep adding to their re-
serve strength. by securing every sub
scription they can obtain. 1t does not
take anything for granted if you win
1t is votes that count and it will take
subscriptions to get the votes yor
need.
