CONTEST
—
Since the last issue of the Nug
get, dramatic changes have tak
en place in the contest for Miss
Nome.
An 'Jiffort was made to return
Miss “Cissie” Johansen’s votes
and some purchasers refused by
saying that she was their choice
and since they are entitled to1
their vote “Cissiis still in the
•ace. Dorothy Neson, finding her
self too busy to run, decided it
aest that she too attempt to with
iravv but because of votes al
-eady cast for her this is impos
sible. Jon's Jones, the only or
ginal candidate is working for
aer own interests, is selling many j
tickets on her own merits.
A Mistaken idea has been ru-,
mored that the queen manager
picked his queens and their back I
ers from a die previously set by !
his sponsors. Such is not the case !
and consequently Jack has dis-;
organized the committees he so,
generously picked to represent
the three original candidates.
This Queen Contest is open to
any single Nome girl and if she
is between the ages of 18 and 26
years will stand a good chance
of becoming Miss Alaska at the
Fairbanks Ice Carnival. All that
the public has to do to see their
favorite become queen is to vote ;
for her and back her indivilual- j
ly, or in any way they see fit.1
Some people have already come
oo their senses and have intro- i
duoed their choice. As a result
the ballot box count today reveal
ed the following:
Jane Jones . 3600
Dorothy Nelson . 2500
Cissie Johansen . 800
Vesta Poison . 300
Jane Nelson.200
Alice Martin . 200
Connie Mazen . 200
It is true that Jones Jones,
Dorothy and Cissie at the pres
ent time have a slight lead over
Vesta, Jane Nelson, Alice and
Connie but merely because their
names were first suggested. Vote
for any other girl you like, or
vote collectively for any one girl
named—suit yourselves.
We all want Miss Nome to be a
