No One Knows Now.
Each candidate has the only exact
knowledge uf bis standing. The rea

votes hat are issued on subscriptions
SO To- the candidates and they a
elect to vote them os hold the bat
lots back as a reserve force. Ana
our observation has been that the ma
Iority OF the active contestants we're
smart enough to save the most OF
their subscription votes for use on the
last day of the contest. In this way
they have teen able 10 conceal their
erai standing from the other candi-
dOtes and no one will known until the
count on saturday Is made by the
judges Who anvas the anal votes
what the reai strength Of the con
%testants really figures.
All ballots coming in from now
ON will be paced IN the locked bal
lot box and will remain there until
the count ~ made by the Judges after
the contest ends Saturday night at 3
o'clock.
This makes II impossible for n
one TO know what IL the exact voting
power OF any Of the candidates or
what changes MAJ be on the program
after the count made by the contest
department today.
For all that the contest department
knows some Of the candidates that

these closing days TO give them "a
prominent place. And then again
they may he In the "also ran class.
Rumors Are Many.
Speaking Of rumors, however, we
heard Of several dark horses that are
apt to loom up. In the districts there
are openings that simply yeurn FOR
some really active and energetic
workers. And several new candidates
have made starts for these inviting
positions.
