The last named lady lead the procession last week, but is at this report relegated to second p by the remarkable showing of 40. In this connection we wish State that the gain made by the lead-— er was made possible largely through f subscriptions secured for the Herald- Review, she having employed this means to such an extent that it boost: ed her standing tens of thousands of votes. The second lady on the list las also put in good work for the pa- per and herself by the same means, and we have the promise of others that they will hereafter devote more — of their time to securing votes by this means.
