OF course some of these, including ex-
President James Campbell, will not be can
didates A committee on candidates was ap-
pointed last night for the purpose of ascer-
tanning and reporting to the next meeting
the names of those who will stand the nom-
ination. The contest promises to be exceed
ingly lively. In fact, it has progressed SO
far already that il is pretty easy to guess
who will be candidates until an election is
reached.
FACTORS IN THE FIGHT.
There are several factional matters that
will enter the fight and add to its interest.
1t is understood that the blowers and
gatherers will be pitted against each other
in the fight, and that means fun. 1t was
reported at the meeting last night that
Patrick Clarey, who was defeated by Mr..
Morenus in the last election, has withdrawn
from the contest in favor of L. G. Haler,
and that he will exert his influence to Sc
cure Mr.. Haler's election.
Mr.. Haler is not going to allow any of
the candidates to win without hustling for
the office. He has already visited several
of the preceptories in his own behalf, and in
this he is ahead of the others. He has
been promised the support of many of the
blowers. He is opposed only by the gath
erers, who charge him with laying the fault
ofstringy glass to them.
1t is stated that Mr.. Clarey withdrew from
the present fight because he claimed to have
been opposed previously on account Of his
religion. He was afraid it would be used
against him again, as the same factions that
opposed him before are supporting another
candidate this time.
STILL IN THE RING.
George L. Cake is still in the ring. He
is resting on his oars. so to speak. 1t is still
claimed he will have an easy time winning.
Ex-President James Campbell is said to be
still sticking pretty close to Mr.. Cake, and
this is regarded as favorable to she latter's
candidacy.
The Committee on Candidates will report
at the meeting next Friday evening. Vot-
ing sheets, containing the names of those
who consent to be candidates, will then be
sent out to the various preceptories for the
first ballot. The time for the return of the
sheets has been extended TO q days, so that
the candidates will have better opportu-
nifty to get in their work. The result of the
first ballot will not be made known until at
the meeting on March %. At this rate in
case there are threeor four ballots, the asso-
citation will not secure President much be-
fore the Fourth of July.
