Wow-wowl!


A bombsheli burst in the voting in
the Daily kilograms Great $4,000
Prize Voting Contest Tuesday 9Sea-lS
two hundred thousand votes were
cast for the different contestants. To
eb exact, there were $4,000 votes
cast in subscription ballots TO say
nothing of the coupons which are
clipped from the issues OF the paper.
Nearly all districts participated. and
the result is three new leaders this
evening.
mrs. F. a. ODDS, of the First dis
trict. captures a seat in the roll OF
honor by casting $1,000 votes. This
is sure some vote to cast in one day
Don't you think so? Mr.. Frank a,
Gill, OF the same district, made an
exceptionally big gain and has passed
the $4,000 mark. Mrs Howard
Gibbs cast 4 big vote and has Is, o32
to ner credit. Mr.. Hurley Snider
climbs a few moro rings of the lad-
Ter by casting good vote.
The Second district has the same
Leader, Miss Stella Johnson No one
seems able to top the big vote made
by Miss johnson Monday.
Look at the Third district Mr.
Reader. Mrs. w. P. Weekly has
broken all records in contest voting.
Yesterday Mrs. weekly had 46.1o9
votes and now she leads the entire
contest with Sd,10S votes. It be
gins 10 look rs if Mrs. Weekly
means it.
AIRS. Ashcraft, Mrs. aIcGee, Frank
Harrison. Mrs. Linviile and Miss
Eo1rman made good gains.
The Fourth district comes in for
its share of the balloting. and Mr.. I.
H. Straight is the one that casts the
big vote in the district Mr.. Straight
has been away from home on busI-
ness. but since his return he decided
that he wanted to vote some Of his
special ballots to let his friends
know that he is in the race for one
of the ave passenger touring cars.
His vote will show that he. wants it
too.
Fortunately for the opponents OF
the present leaders the 5000 IN
prizes are not awarded on the vote
cast up until last night. The win
ners are not yet decided and there is
still plenty or time for the contest
ants not in the initial position in
their respective districts to overtake
their rivals and wind up their cam
paign in the honor and winning po-
sition
It is not going to be a walk-away
race fer the present leaders. Tie
contestants who Immediately follow
them in the lists are fully as deter
mined to win and fully as energetic
in their campaign for the winning
number of subscriptions and votes.
The race is close one in all the Dis
tEicts and will likely continue to Se
until the end. AS the vote now
stands it would take but a couple Of
subscription ballots to effect con-
iplete reversal in position.
50 close is the race and so excl
lent the possibilities or the various
contestants that the question Of WIN
.ners viii remain clothed in mystery
until settled by the final develop
ments. Success will be no dead
open and shut cinch for any contest
ant. Every subscription, and for as
long a time as can possibly be Sc
cured, will be needed by the contest
ants who hope to win. The chance
to secure a single subscription can
not be overlooked by Ia contestant
without inviting disaster at the I'm
ish.
No time can be idled away With
out danger The contestant who.
through incidence or too-sure conf
dence, says. --oh, 4 don't think I'll
solicit any subscriptions today"
