Until yesterday Victor b. Woolley
had a clear field for the nomination
for prothonotary by the Democratic
County Convention which will meet on
September 10. John f. Callahan who
has been booming himself for candi-
date for the nomination of state senator
but failed TO qualify, came out with
the announcement yesterday that he is
now candidate for prothonotary. The
new candidate is not expected to work
alarm in the WoOlley camp. Mr.. Wool
ley has made a canvas Of part Of the
county and probably will make a thor
ough canvass shortly in order to
clinch those districts that might give
his opponent the votes Of its delegates.
The various labor unions will enter
the Democratic fight in the Fifth rep
.resentative district next week They
will be headed by the Carpenters and
the Cigar Makers Unions and are said
to be opposed to William NJ. Connolly
the candidate for representative. The
other candidates are John r. Healy
