*Speaking of the state council of
the Junior Order United American
Mechanics of Pennsylvania which as
semble here September 10, the Pitts.
berg Leader says:
"These sessions are held annually and
of late years the representatives have
been constantly increasing in numbers,
and at the next session the officials
expect about 75O delegates.
There are over $1,000 members of
the Jr. o. U. A. NJ, in this state and the
business connected Herewith always
requires few days deliberation, and
the coming session will probably ilast
days. AS in nearly every convention,
the contest for office will be one of the
important events. A state councillor
is to be elected, state vice councillor
and three representatives to the
national councils.
For state councillor William I. Kerr
of Pittsburg, at present state vice
councillor, will in all probability have
no opposition. For state vice councillor
there are two candidates, Robert w
Crane, of Philadelphia, chairman O
the finance committee of the stat
council, and John II. Marlin, also o
Philadelphia. Mr.. Crane has an ad
vantage of a more active service fo
the order, being popular, well-knowl
able. For national representatives Their
are six candidates: A. d. Wilkin, Esq
of Mansfield, Pa, chairman of the stat
law committee and well-known attor
ney of the Allegheny county bar; W
J. Davis of Johnstown, Pa, secretal,
of the advisory council of Cambri
county; Victor G. Reed of Philadel
phia; George @. Morgan, New Castle
William v. E1kins of Philadelphia AM
@. II. Temple of Johnstown.
All the candidates announced ar
well known, but one of the prominen
leaders in this section states that tn
chances are greatly in favor of tn
first three named as they represen
the opposition to the "slate" candi
dates. There are none more popula
than A. d. Wilkin, Esq He has serve
four years on the state law COMMITTEES
and during the last legislature was a.
active member Of the state legislativ
committee of the Jr. 0. U. A. NJ, whicl
did such good service for the cOmpul
soly education and free textbook bill
He was first secretary of the Allegh
eny county advisory council and ha
taken such an active part in all th
the movements of the order that he
known by all. w. S. Davis is we'll an
favorably known throughout Cambrit
Somerset, Westmorland and surround
ing counties. His activity has fore
him into prominence. The same cal
be said of Victor G. Reed of Philadel
phia who on several occasions serve
upon state committees. One impoI
tant measure to be acted upon is tn
proposition introduced by a princips
oil city school to change the time Q
meeting from the third Tuesday il
Septem Der the third Tuesday i
July.
t The country representatives loo
3 upon it as movement which will il
terfere with their their attendance an
give still greater power to the CIT
' re Jpesentatives.
: Another measure is that of maxim
8 the terms Of representative for tw,
years instead of one. There is no doul
but that this session will be the mo-
Q imDortaut one of anV in raeent veal
from many standpoints."
