Wichita with its magic influence always

Yesterday at Denver w. V Powell Of
this City WAS elected Chief photographer of
tue Order of Railway Teiegraphers, one OF
the largest Industrial organizations IN the
United States
Mr.. Powell is an operator ut the Twelfth
street depot of the Missouri Pacific road
and when be went to the meeting NJ Den
yer there were no signs OF bee IN his
bonnet. His election Was surprise here
for that reason aud he was the talk OF all
the local operators in town last night.
One prominent operator IN speaking with
"A reporter for the EAGLE last night said:
The election OF Powell must be a land
slide. He had no aspirations for the
place so far as his friends could see. He Is a
smooth speaker and a sharp debater aud
am inclined to believe that his election
was the result Of some offhand talk he
made in the convention that touched a re-
sponsive chord and made him the leader
OF certain element"
What element Is that!"
"Well, you see, the fellows who have
been heretofore at the head of the order
were a lot OF tinhOrn operators who
couldn't send a common message over the
wires and made their living off the order
or in some outside business. Powell makes
his living by actual work in teiegraphy
anu he mas always Oeen Dltteriy opposed 10
Bon-professiona! leadership. am inclined
to think that he made, perhaps. rousinx
speech in advocacy of actual telegraphers
managing the affairs Of the order and
that through this idea he was forced
to the front as its champion. He has
always been an. enthusiastic o. r. L. man
aud was the leading spirit in the Rock
Island strike some time ago. In any en-
terprise of this kind he is no dead-head."
rs there u salary attached to his posi-
tion?"
Yes, and good one. 1t is s.. 500 year
aud expenses when travelling"
'Wili his election bring the head
quarters here"
Not necessarily, but am inclined to
think the headquarters will be brought
here anyway. tits now at Vinton, Iowa.
but its management has been so rotten
that ] think it will be moved outside of
the influence of the fellows who have been
running it altogether. In that event it
will probably come to Wichita. 1t is not
generally known. but it is a fact neverthe-
less, that the strongest lodge of the order
is in this city, numerically speaking. All
the operators of the entire southwest have
their membership here and the head
quarters may come"
