THEY AVE 'oPEs
On the 26th instant the union will hold its
annual election of officers and delegates There
is warm fight in progress as to the presi-
dency. The candidates are John L. Kennedy
and Edwin NJ. Blake, both employed in the
government printing Office Edwin Payne, the
present vice president, has no opponent for his
place. No one seems to want Secretary Padgett
out, SO he will probably go right along doing
his duty faithfully through at least the coming
official year. Treasurer j. j. Higgins has no
apparent stumbling block between him and
| another reelection. Titus F. Ellis wants to be
reading clerk, bu. his aspirations are contested
by w. Winslow Williams.

meeting, of the International to be held in At
lanta, Ga, in June. For this honor several
gentlemen are now striving with all diligence,
| among them Messrs. E. S. Wiler, j. Ii. Ross,
L. II. Julien, H. L. Work, l.. H. Patterson, o. S.
MONTE. p. S. Steele, j. Lac. Rodier and C. L.
