The following is the standing

the time of the first count, last
Saturday. January 11. 1913. at
4 o'clock:
Elnora Gilham
Miss Gertrude Coon.
Miss Rose McGwire..
Mrs. Clara Copley
Miss Maude Hayes ..
Gertie Cartwright
Mrs. Ida Worden
Mrs.L. H. Matkins...
In lookine over the above
list of Contestants and their
standing it is not hard to see
that not one of them is so far
ahead as yet to make it impos
sible for any new Contestant,
who would get out and work
hard, to overtake them.
For this reason we again pub
lish the nomination blauk, and
if you have a friend in mind,
or even if you, yourself, was
thinking of entering the con
test, it is not hard to see that
you have as good a chance, if
you get out and work hard, as
any of the above Contestants.
While we know that several
of the Contestants have a good
many Votes which they have
not turned in, saying that they
intended holding back their
votes until they seen the stand
ing of some of the other Con
testants, yet we do not feel
that any one of them is so far
in the lead that they can afford
to let a single day go past that
does not find them outworking.
The Chief will publish the
list of Contestants and their
standing from week to week.
We would suggest, however,
that the Contestants do not
hold back their votes too long
as it deprives the new sub
scriber of his paper.
