sin an editorial the Johnstown
pemocrat gave the following greeting
and welcome to the State Council of
Pennsylvania Jr, o. U. A. M. during
its sessions in that city: Greeting to
our guests.
"Johnstown is honored to day by the
presence of host of strangers who
have gathered from all sections of this
great state to attend the thirty
annual council of the Junior Order of
United American Mechanics, an organi-
zation whose strength in Pennsylvania
is perhaps exceeded by that of no
similar body. 1t is a representative
gathering and as such it receives
cordial welcome to the Flood City. It
is a notable event in the history of
Johnstown and its hospitalities will
doubtless render it so in the ann ais
OF the Juniors of the Keystone state.
We are quite certain that our people
appreciate the distinction which has
been conferred upon the gathering of
so large and such Representative body
and with confidence we can assure the
visitors that no effort will be spared TO
make their stay within our gates al. |
together pleasant. They have al |
ready read their welcome in the lavish |
display Of flags and bunting that greet
ed their eyes on every hand upon their
arrival in the city and they will read
1t again in the faces and the hospitali- |
ties of our citizens throughout their
stay. We want them to feel at home
and to carry away with them when
they go the same sense Of good will
that our people have expressed and
will retain when their gala time is over.
1t will not be the fault of Johnstown if
the Juniors do not have good time
this week.
'Vhe ring that was formed in the
Jr. o. U. A. NJ, found out that the
Middle District was the rock upon
which they foundered, this district in
their estimation amounted to nothing
but it clearly demonstrated that she
was factor in manipulating the wires,
so much so that the opposition was
pushed to the wall, the ring resorted
to everything that was unfair to con-
troll the session, but their struggles
were all in vain, the anti-ring people
had matters mapped out to a nicety and
when the time came to prove their
strength the leaders of the ring dis
appeared and were not seen for some
time. The anti-ring or peoples ticket
went through with rush, the success.
full candidates were as follows-State
Councillor, VIM. 4. Kerr, of Pittsburg;
State Vice Councillor, Robt. w. Crane,
OF Philadelphia; State Treasurer, Jno.

q. Reed, of Philadelphia; A. d. Wilkin.
Of Mansfield, VIM. S. Davis, of Johns
town p. N. Councillor, VIM. r. Stroh.
Of Mauch Chunk proved to be a sue
cessful leader of the Middle district
his followers stuck to him like leeches
which eventually won the day. This end
of the district expects to be rewarded
by receiving appointments on the
several committees of the State Coun-
