For the first time since the open-ing of the big Press-Sentinel papularvoting contest the candidates fromthis city. this morning have beenforced out of flrst place in the raee.Hie fight for first place has from thestart been a hot one, first onethen another ef the P&attslnirghersleading, but the candidates from theother towns in the co^tity have al-so been hustling and <*s a result thePress this morning announces thatWilliam *\ Devan, Jr., ofis the leader in the race, Mr. Pev-an is not only popular among: thosewho have the pleasure of his ac-quaintance, 'but he is a worker, andhagr gone into this race with a de-termination to win the $500 in goldwhich will go to the .person havingthe largest number of votes whenthe final <count is made on the even-ing of Thursday, J March 4.

Mr, Devan has a lead at over sev-enteen hundred votes over fharleaLefee of this eity who stands secondin the race, closely followed by MilO'Oonnell, with Miss Jarvts of Peruin fourth place. Nine out of thetwenty-four candidates yesterday increased their vote, and a* therewere fourteen* who increased their-vote on Saturday it can be seen thatthere l« no "tUad-Wfccfti" - ih titetest. |

One candidate visited the office ofthe gentinel Publishing Company*yesterday for the purpose of obtain-ing supplies, saying that she wasabout to alSLVt on a trip during whichshe intended to visit every villageand hamlet in the county in the in-terest of her candidacy, and that shewould devote all her energy to th»securing of new subscriptions. Shesaid that she realiaed that the prizeswere of such a character as to in-duce every candidate in the,field towortt day and night to land in firstplace and that if hard and confidenttlous work would do it for her shewould be tKe winner of the five hun-dred dollars at the close of thecontest.

It is this spirit which .will put acandidate in the front rank in thisrace. The prizes are big, the lengthof the contest is only eight weeka.and the candidates realize that thereia no honest employment which willbring them such large returns for KOshort a time.

Several persons have brought orsent money to this office with the re-quest that it ibe placed to the credit

is- eamiiit bedone. The rules of the contest ab-solutely prohibit it. The only -wayin which a candidate run receivecredit fur money is l-y turning if inthemselves." If jmi wish to help anyof the candidate t>end ur give themoney to them and they will turn i«over to this office with the eo.Jtxins JWhich are placed to their credit j
