ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNERS
IN JOURNAL RANGE CONTEST
STANDING OF CONTESTANTS

No less than 573, 100 votes were credited
to contestants Thursday and Friday. 1t
was expected that thousands, of votes
would be rushed in on the closing day of
the contest and that big packages of
them would be received, but the sum to-
tai of the votes received was a great
surprise to all. Enough votes were pass
ed in by some e0ntestants to more than
equal the total number credited to the
leaders in their respective classes on the
preceding day, but the leaders had sur
prises, too, and claimed thousands of
votes more than needed to win.
The largest number of votes credited
to any one person were secured by Mrs
Leonard Barber of Readfield. winner in
the Fifth District. Her votes would
have won for her in any one of the four
contested districts. Only four of the II
contestants failed to make an extra eff
fort during the last five days of the con-
test several contestants doubled their
scores within that time, and one woman
with total credit of 101, $50 on Thursday
morning finished with a credit of 220,5
The Journal several times warned the
contestants that many thousands of votes
would probably be held back. The warn
ing was apparently needed and none were
caught unprepared for the deluse on the
last day, for the large number of votes
passed in by the contestants came in in
dividual credits quite in proportion with
the standing of the contestants in the list
published Thursday morning.
From start to finish the Journal
Range Contest has been a success. The
Journal is we'll pleased with the interest
shown and the success of the contest at
the close. and desires to thank the con-
testants for the efforts they put forth
and the good spirit shown. Without
doubt the contest has been a benefit to
the contestants and the prize winners es-
peeially are in good fortune.
