BIC VOTE Of
MINERS UNION
NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY.
TWO BALLOTS CAST YES
TERDAY,
CLOSE RACE between THE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES,
W. 81. Eddy Led M. r. Tourey by 80
in the Count at Noon-Results
Tonight.

The semi-annual election of officers of
the Butte Miners Union was held yester-
DAY between the hours of l p m, and 9 p.
M, and owing partly to the great poll
teal fight now on unusual interest was
taken by the members.
The total vote cast was 1852 which is
said to be h largest vote ever cast by
the union in an election for officers. The
counting of the vote began about 10
o'clock last evening and will not be COM
pleted until 0 5 o'clock this evening.
At II o'clock this morning 1902 votes had
been counted. The contest is a close one
and the majorities will be small.
w. H. Eddy, who is a former president
of the union was thirty votes ahead of M.
+. Tonrey, his competitor at that hour,
but Mr.. Tonrey predicted that the full
u would be very close. Mr.. Eddy'S
friends however, We're confident of his
election.
For the Office of financial secretary
there was a hard fight. At II o'clock to-
was fifty votes behind Hanley and in all
probability Mr.. Hanley will be the choice
of the union. Ed Hughes and John Nc
kenna are the candidates for vice preSi-
dent. Mr.. Hughes is in the lead by about
200 votes and will probably be elected.
Frank O'Connor will probably be elected
recording secretary. For treasurer John
McQuirk and James Kilrain are running
neck and neck.
The politicians employed by the var
ious mining companies are taking an ac-
tive interest in the result of the election
of officers. The outcome of the struggle
for official positions, it is said, will deter
mine the question of the union going into
politics this fall. So far the n%On-pOliti-
cal end of the union seems to be in the
lead. The election of Mr.. Eddy as presi-
dent, it is claimed, would settle that mat
ter.
