WHO WILL BE MISS NOME?
Everyone is wondering how 1
j the Queen Contest is coming 1
j along and trying to outguess the
i ballot box totals
Jack Thomas, in charge of the
Queen Campaign, is receiving a i
lot of knocking around among
the Queens. “Cissie,” and Dor
othy both solicit his aid because
of his popularity among Nome
i ites. Then Jane wonders why ;
Jack walks on the other side of >
the street when he sees her com
ing.
Melvin Braund and Bill Mal
colm, once old friends, are now
slashing at each others throats
j in a ticket selling manner be
I cause both fellows are sure their
choice is queen-to-be and accord
I ing to public opinion, Dorothy is
going to give tlv.m both a good
j run for their money. Dorothy’s
committee extends even to the
j Kougarok and has many mem
bers in Nome.
Each girl naturally has her
following and the girls are so
closely matched that todate it is
anybody’s race. Dorothy’s smile
has become even more appealing
and in turn “Cissie” has turned
; on personality plus while Jane is
personally selling tickets in her
own “Jonesian” manner and
j working hard to get the free ride
to Fairbanks.
In the next issue we will pub
lish the standing of 'each girl. To
day the votes are scattered and
so divided that a last minute
count would be confusing, but
now everyone knows where the
ballot boxes are placed and by
Friday they should be filled
j many times over.
With this warm burst of balmy
1 spring weather everyone who
can walk should be out selling
tickets or drumming up prospec
tive voters for their choice of
Miss Nome.
Dog Mushers — it is time for
you to get your teams in shaps
and your registration placed with
Billie Cameron for the Cheechac
co Race on the afternoon of Sat
