Special to The Telegram:
Aurora, HI., Mar. 24.—"Two more
delegare will be added to the Cannon
column as a result of the convention
here today of the Republicans of the
Eleventh Congressional District.
The Temple Dally Telegram Pop-
ularity Contest ia the subject of dis-
cussion in hundreds of homes In Tem-
ple and surrounding country.
The good natured tug-of-war has
opened strongly, and the list of can-
didates and aspirants is growing hour
ly. The voting has started in ear-
nest and by Sunday, March IS. at
which time the candidates will be
announced for the first time togeth-
er with the number of votes each con
testant has, the contest will have a
strong foundation of Interest.
It seems that there is still some
misunderstanding as to when the
votes will be counted. The first count
will be made Saturday, March 2S, af-
ter which time the ballots will be
counted every afternoon at 6 o'clock,
so as to appear in the next edition
of the Telegram. Vates received af-
ter that hour will not appear until
the following day.
The best way to poll up a large
number of votes Is by securing a
number of subscriptions to the Tele-
gram. A little work now is worth
ten times the amount later on. Oet
in the contest with a vim as the
pianos, scholarships, etc.. are worth
more than the effort.
There Is a ballot box in* the Tele-
gram office where the votes may be
deposited for any of the young ladles
whom you may see fit to vote for. If
you cannot bring the ballots to the
office send them in by mail to the
Contest Manager and the votes will
be accorded to the young lady for
whom they are intended. . The votes
are counted twice so there can be no
mistake as to the proper number of
ballots accorded to each candidate.
The votes are always open to Insure
a fair deal to all.
How to Win.
Any young lady who desires to en-
ter this great contest and win one of
the magnificent prises offered, should
at once see that her name Is seat to
the Contest Manager. All that Is aec
essary to win a prise is to recelvq the
largest number of rotes according to
the conditions mentioned elsewhere in
this announcement
Candidates should at once Interest
their friends in the contest and by
their united energetic action induce
as many people as possible to vote for
them
Each young lady can be nominated
ten times, provided different people
fill out and sign the nomination
blanks which appear in the Telegram
daily. As these nomination blanks
count for 1000 votes each It behooves
the different contestants to see that
they get a" full ten as this Is a good
way to get started with a big bunch
of votes. .
The easiest and quickest way to
win is for candidates to ask their
friends to prepay their subcsriptlon
from six to twelve months. It costs
the subscriber nothing extra to do
this and they are saving the annoy-
ance of monthly collections. By so
doing yon receive a special vote bal-
lot which Is good at any time during
the contest.
Orders for the prises will be given
the successful contestants at the
close of the contest; same may be
used by the contestant herself or dis-
posed of In any manner she may see
fit.
The prise? are already bought and

missioners held yesterday afternoon
In the City National Bank directory
rooms, all members being present,Mr.

mously, by his associate commission-
ers not to resign. This was in con-
nection with the recent change In

peals, Mr. Hull assented, and will
continue one of the board of water

WATER WORKS SYSTEM
(Continued From Page 1)
ent ot the water works system be rat-
ified. This was seconded by Alder-
man Crawford; resulting in a unan-
imous vote of the Council.
T. t. Campbell Resigned as Treasurer
The formal resignation of Mr. T.
Campbell as city treasurer was read
to the council; the reason assigned
being that he Is soon to move away
from the city.
It was moved by Alderman Pouts,
seconded by Alderman Swain, that
the resignation be accepted; and waa
carried.
Walker lowland Appointed Snocessor
The office of city treasurer being
appointive. Mayor Hamtll placed In
nomination to succeed Mr. Campbell
as city treasurer, Mr. Walker Row-
land. It was moved by Alderman
Swain, seconded by Alderman Pouts,
that the Mayor's appointment he af-
firmed. Carried unanimously.
Saloon Licenses and Extensions.
Mr, Earl Winn addressed the coun
ell seeking Information as to exten-
sions of saloon licensee by the city.
Discussions respecting this develop-
ed the fact that the majority ot the
council were not fully posted on the
matter; severs! motions which were
put being declared out of order, for
that reason. The tangle waa cleared,
however, by Alderman Crawford, who
held that the matter shoald he ad-
justed strictly according to ordinance
adopted last summer; snd meanwhile
if there are licensee delinquent, some
one had been st fault; he had no de-
sire to see any of the liquor men suf-
fer hardships, however. Mr. Winn
said he was seeking information,and
not asking for remittances. The May
or held Mr. Crawford's position to be
correct; and thereupon Instructed the
secretary to extend to July II, and to
take up old licensee and Issue new
ones meanwhile.
HS8BS
T
M. K. a T. Granted 80 Dtp
Mr. J. W. White, local agent for
the M. K. ft T. railroad, addreesed
the council stating that he had been
advised from headquarters that the
time-limit recently placed for plac-
ing lights over certain atreet Inter-
sections with their tracks wss too
short In which to get the matter
through the various departmeats.
Asked how much more time Is desir-
ed, he said two months. The coun-
cil refused to grant that exten-
sion; but by unanimous vote, grant-
ed an extension of thirty days.
Smallpox Situation.
Alderman Crawford said stricter
measures should be taken, at least
on the 8outh side of the city, to-
ward quarantining smallpox cases.
He cited, as an inatance, a family by
name of Johnson. He said severs!
In the household were affected, hut
no attention Is paid to quarantine
regulations. It seems, In connection
with this case, according to state-
menu made, that Dr. Taylor Hudson
county beslth physician, had been
requeeted by the city to take eharge
of the patients. 8upt Blair came
yesterday, but since tM county has
no provisions for caring for female
patients, he l»ft »h«m here. ]t has
been necesssry for members of the
family to leave the place to procure
provisions, etc. The city will sow
place a guard at the place, the city
to furnish the meals.
Alderman Crawford, In the dis-
cission, deprecated ths fact the
county Is not equipped for caring for
women patients. Alderman routs'
motion that a flag he placed at every
location where there is contageotis
disease of any kind, and that* strict
quarantine be enforced hsnceftrth,
was teit for want of a second: be-
cause of the fact it Is already provid-
ed for. %
Adjourned to 4 o'clock next Fri-
day afternoon, at which time, the
matter of title to the water works
plant, street paving, etc., will he tak-
en up.
