During the last ; few days the contest department has been flood ed with votes which were tnt by friends for ; their particular can didates. Evidently some of them who have been less active in the past have enrolled the help of their acquaintances. . Subscribers to The Statesman invariably have their favorite candidate in whose favor they cast their votes. We take this as an indication there are to be . some surprises and shifting about In the vote stand ings. ' In fact, some of the candidates who have been lower down in the lists are now starting their cam paigns in earnest, and if we are good guessers, some of those who have been leading ; will - have to look out or they will be passed by. A little mathematics will show any candidate how to jump to the top of the list. MANIAC SNIPER SOUGHT FRANTIC MANHUKT IS MADE FOR MAD OMAHA KILLER OMAHA, Neb., , Feb 20. (By Associated Press.)
