AN EXPLANATION
To the many friends, who so-goner-
ously helped me in the contest and who
wished me to take the mattef up with the
Oregonian, for an explanation as to why
I was not included as one of the maids of
honor, of whom they sent five, as none of
the five so honored received as many
votes as I did and two of the five was
defeated by a larger - number of votes
than 1 was, I desire to submit the follow
ing correspondence regarding the matter
between myself' and the Oregonian. I
wish to say however that 1 was defeated
fairly and had no maids of honor been
selected that I would gracefully, submit,
but as will be noted from the following
facts and correspondence 1 think myself
and friends have not been treated with
justice.
The letter bearing date, of April 2,
shows that I applied for transportation,
while the letter of June 22, declares that
never made application nor received
transportation, which was given my.com
peitor and which I was rightly entitled to
VOTES RECEIVED.
Cled Smith of Portland, received 112.152
defeated 86,170; Lulu Leverett. Golden
dale, ree'd 121.250, defeated 5753; Ger
trude Randall, Castle Rock, ree'd 1 12,
465 defeated 9147; Mary McCormick.
Leconon, ree'd 123,689, defeated 41,058
Anna Ewing Oswego, ree'd 1 22.605, de
feated 32.991.
I, received 1 29,048 votes and was de
feated by 40.496.
As will be een above I received more
than any of the five and was defeated by
a smaller number than two. 1 have ask
ed the Oregonian why I was left out in
the face of the above conditions and the
following is the reply.

Miss Allie Stephens,

Dear Madam: . ;
Your favor of the 1 6th inst. received
and noted. We were quite surprised
that you did not win out in the contest.
I thought surely you would beat put any
town in your district and especially too,
hficauftA I A OranrlA mid. anK An.
shdVing in the Journal contest. We
natura.ly thought you would have p. .
walkover, and really felt badly in puttirttf?
Corvallis and Hood River against you. In
as much as you allowed Union to beat
you out, I do not think you have any
cause for complaint. Nothing, however.
would suit us batter than for you to have
brought in enough business to iustifv ua
in taking you with us. Had you been
within one thousand votes of Corvallis, we
would have taken you along just the
same as we did the girl from Hillsboro.
who was beaten out by Ashla.;d by less
than one thousand votes.
Kindly turn over all receipts and print
ed matter to Mr. Thoe. C. Finnegan, q
agent, who is now in your city. "y

Miss Allie Stephens,
La Grande, Ore. . ?
Dear Madam:
Yout favor of the 20th inst, received
You were classified in a district of only
four towns. La Grande, Hood River, Cor
vallis, . and Marshfield. Marshfield did
absolutely nothing. Hood River did
nothing. You were really only against '
Corvallia, We think you should take your
defeat gracefully. We assure voui. w
would like to have had you at with i?
but we think further explanation is un
necessary. We will say, in addition, that
we have never refused to give you trans
portation, because request for transpor
tation never came to this office.
