their favorites in the race. Many of
the candidates entered in the lists
have already commenced their bat.
ties for ballots and the contest prom.
Uses to be an interesting one. m
The fact that two new candIdat
whose names appear for the first
time this morning enter the liats In
the topnost positions. is an lndica-
ton of the surprises that may come
as the contest progresses.
These two candidates who hold
positions of honor this morning are
Miss Cora Dimmock. OF the st. Pauls
Episcopal Sunday School, and II. B..
Gregory, of the Rector's Club. Both
are we'll known and popular young
people who probably will be among
the leaders to the finish Miss Dim.
mock now leads the ladies and Mr..
Gregory Is in second place among the
men.
Several Of the candidates whose
names appeared in the lists yesterday
morning have had their names with
drawn ut their request. or course the
Daily Press will publish no ones
name against his or her wishes. II
anyone who is nominated by friends
does not wish to participate in the
contest, a telephone call to the Daily
Press office will prevent the name
from appearing.
1t will be noted that the societies
to which several of the candidates be-
long is not given in the list printed
today. This was no doubt an over
sight on the part of those making the
nominations, but the Daily Press
would request that the name Of the
lodge or society always be written OH
each ballot with the name of the can
dldatc.
Even at this early stage in the con-
test it is understood that members of
two of the lodges are talking of ap-
pointing committee at their next
regular meeting to look after the
interests of the candidates put for
ward from these societies. This
move is in the right direction and the
Daily Press will do everything posi-
bic to assist each candidate SO far
as 1t can do so impartially.
Mr. Orville Cook has been engaged
to conduct the contest and. impartial
ly, assist all the participants.
The impression seems to prevail In
some circles that only ladies can vote
for members of their own sex and
that the same holds true among the
gentlemen. Some also think they can
vote only ono of the coupons printed
in the Daily Press. This is wrong
construction of the conditions, as
everyone can vote for both Il lady
and a gentleman candidate.
Another question has been raised
regarding the sale of papers for the
coupons. To this the Daily Press
wishes to say that no papers will be

and not for the sale of the papers for

the order the Electrotype Molders
and Finishrs Union, No. II, against
which 1t was shown no specific charge
was made.
Justice Gould took occasion to dwell
upon the question of jurisdiction. He
said there would be no attempt made
by the court to assume jurisdiction
beyond the confines of tho District
of Columbia, but that its order was
operative upon all persons defendant
who are within the District Of Co.
lumbia. An act, he said, committed
by an agent or associate of one OF
the defendants outside the District
OF Columbia could be held as the act
of tho PRISON within the District OF
Columbia so ordering It and subjects
such person to the punitive power
of the court.
There was, lie said. no likelihood
of the order being misunderstood
because he was not enjoinne ignorant
men. but men who knew their rights
ana who knew the law. Mr.. Gompers
he said, was one of these.
