PIONEER CONTEST
WARM S UP
Every Evidence That There
Will Be a Long List of Can
didates Very Soon.
INTEREST IN THE PRODUCTION
OF BEN HI IS VERY GREAT.
The Pioneer Will Open Contest to
Points Outside of Bemidji, Mak
ing Two Separate Contests.
The vote today:
May Villemam 471
Ethel McTaggart 156
Florence Grirnoldby L5
The Pioneer has boon urged to
extend its offer to points outside
of Bemidji and has decided to do
so, The most popular young
ladv outside of Bemidji will bo
allowed to those one companion
and both will bo furnished with
free transportation, theatre tiok
ets, hotel expenses, etc. The
will be entirely separate
from the Bemidji contest, how
ever.
ij
That the people of Bemidji are
greatly interested inlthe Pioneer's
plan to send the most popular
young lady of the city and a
party of her friends to Duluth to
see the great production of Ben
Hur to be given in that city
Christmas week is evidenced by
the number of votes which have
already been turned into the
office.
The chance is one of a lifetime.
So. great is the interest in the
production that the Lyceum
theatre, where the play will bo
given in Duluth, has been forced
to make arrangements for two
extra performances. Eight per
formances in all will now be given
in Duluth. There are three hun
dred and fifty people in the cast
and the entire production is one
of the most spectacular ever
given in this country. The op
portunity to see it is a rare one
and there will undoubtedly be a
warm contest to decide who
shall go from Bemidji at the ex
pense of the Pioneer.
Remember that 312 votes will
be given with every year's sub
scription to the daily Pioneer,
whether in advance or for back
subscriptions, 156 votes for six
months, 26 for one month, etc.
Sixty-five votes will be given for
one year's subscription to the
weekly.
Bring in your votes at once
and give your candidate a good
send off. There is a great ad
vantage in securing the lead and
maintaining it from the start.
