Candidates in G. P. o.-In
Downtown Section.

Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101.
will hold It's annual election tomorrow.
The offices 10 be voted for are president,
vice president, secretary. treasurer, SER
geant-at-arms. doorkeeper, trustee, au-
ditors, delegates and alternates to the I.
7. u. convention, which will be held In
Toronto in August next.
The campaign this year has not been
very exciting. due mainly to the lack OF
opposition to the present corps OF Of
icers of the local body, only one having
two contestants, that of vice president
for which Dexter S. 41ussey is the op-
ponent of ", r. Love, the Incumbent.
For the position of delegates 10 the I.
T. U. the usual strenuous canvass has
been made, both by the candidates from
the Government Printing Office and the
downtown representatives.
Seven in G. P. o.
In Uncle Sans big printery there are
seven candidates for the three delegate
ships TO the I. 7, o., all Of whom have
been identified with the active life OF
Columbia Union, and are therefore hope
+ fui that the membership Will show their
appreciation of past service by selecting
them as delegates.
Strange as it may seem, the candidate
who has held the highest office in the
gift of the local organization, and who
is probably better known to the MEM
bership at large than any other aspir-
ant for delegatoriai honors, is the only
one who is being strongly opposed for
the position he seeks. This is Joe NJ
Johnson, who was for two terms presi-
dent of Columbia Union.
In regard to the race for delegate TO
the International Typographical Union
convention In what is known as the
downtown section. there are three can
didates, with one TO be elected. They
are Harry c. Knapp. OF The Washing
ton Times; Teresa Mcdonald. of the
Washington Post, and Orton II. Pierce.
or the Post.
The Times Chapel Candidate.
Mr. Knapp has been a lifelong resident
of this city, having been identified with
different newspapers before the advent
OF the typesetting machine, during the
various changes incident to he intro
duction OF The different styles of ma
chimes, being at present engaged in the
composing room of The Times. His
supporters claim that. being thorough
j. conyersant with the requirements of
the trade and well qualified to consider
such legtslati ton affecting the downtown
Offices, which might come before the /.
T q. convention, he is the logical rep
resentative TO send. Mr.. Knapp Is a
member OF the grievance committee of
acquitted himself IN a ereditable manner
III all matters coming before that body.
The Woman Aspirant.
Miss Mcdonald, who is the only wo-
man seeking honors this year, has been
a member OF the local union for num-
Der of years.
Mr.. Pierce. who is a candidate from
the same office as Miss Mcdonald, also
enjoys membership of many years in
No. 101.
Leaders in Contest.
While the friends Of the various can
didates for delegates In the Govern
nent Printing Office ere sanguine of
the success of their favorites, it is, Of
course, conceded that four are bound to
be disappointed. There are many who
think that the fight to lead the ticket
lies between Frank D. Smith, Laark II.
Barnun and Philip s. Steele, as they
are all said to be very strong. But it
Is contended that the vigorous cam
paign conducted by the supporters of
Joe NJ Johnson has ADDED 10 his pros
poets, and that he, too, must be con-
sidered as factor in the running, not
withstanding the vigorous fight being
waged against him. There are others
who are not willing TO admit that Wal
ter V. Smith, Joseph Z. Goodkey. and
Charles B. Buchanan, the remaining
contenders, are entirely out of the race,
as the popularity of the frst-named of
the three In the downtown section will
make him hard man TO beat even If
his vote in the Government office does
not come up to expectations.
On behalf of the other two, Mr. Good
fsEIGha4an iS saYgE

has been done in their behalf, and that
the result in their favor viii prove the
surprise of the campaign
