The Herald Voting Contest Increasing in Interest
Contestants Racing at a Lively Pace.
Interest in The Herald's great
voting contest is increasing and
beginning to attract a good deal
of attention. The number of
votes cast during the week end
ing April 0, was 8,040, a larger
number than were cast the first
month. For a few weeks after
the contest began less than half ;
of the persons paying on sub
scription voted.
This week we add to our list
of prizes a $05 sewing machine,
fully guaranteed for five years.
Full particulars next week.
There will be about twenty
prizes to be awarded at the close
of the contest, if there are that
many contestants. We have only
ten on the list now. There
should be at least twice that
many.
Miss Ella Moravek of Canton,
the popular young lady who is
the west side candidate, contin
ues in the lead with 11,775 votes.
She won the first of the special
prizes, a ten dollar due bill, for
reaching the 8,000 mark first.
She selected the store of B. E.
Johnson, Hemingford.
Miss Attie Snow, who has
formed a large circle of acquaints
ances through her work as
money order clerk at the Alii-!
ance postoffice, is a close second
to Miss Moravek, her total vote
up to last evening being 11,000.,
one won mo seconu special prize
of a ten dollar due bill lor reach
ine 10.000 first (the candidate
reaching 8,000 first being bai'red),
anu heiecteci tne iiorace uogue
store.
Miss Nell Acheson, third in
the contest with 10,250, has not
done much, if anything, in the
interests of her candidacy, but
she has a large number of
friends who are determined to
look after her interests.
Miss Gladys Boon is fourth in
the race with an even 9,000 votes
to her credit. Although resid
ing in Alliance she is West known
in the Bonner neighborhood and
is receiving practically the en
tire vote of that vicinity.
The fifth contestant is Miss
Jessie Geiger. She occupies a
position in the central telephone
office at Hemingford. She start
ed well in the contest, but since
the fire at Hemingford, which
burned the telephone office, she
has been at a disadvantage and
has fallen back several places.
Miss Alma Rosenberger, sixth,
and Miss Anna Dainton, seventh,
are highly respected farmers'
daughters, and probably have
not as large a circle of acquaint
ances as home of the candidates
living in town; but if they and
their friends will get busy they
will stand a. good show of secur
ing a couple of fine prizes, with
a possibility of one them getting
the first prize.
The other candidates, Miss
Theresa Morgan, Mrs. Mary A.
Morrow and Mrs. Emma O'Ban
non, have made no additions to
their votes during the past week.
We are sure that if they and
their friends will make the prop
er effort they can soon be near
the head of the list.
