credit to the party, to his fellow union

member of the legislature.
o. NJ. Rudy. of the Electrical Work
ers, president of the Central Labor
Union and a member of the board of
directors of the Labor Temple Asso-
citation, was also unanimously en-
dorsed Mr. Rudy is another lifelong
republican, and he is eminently quail
fed to represent Lancaster county in
the legislature.
Sam Chaplin, a member of the
BARRIERS Union, and vice president of
the board of directors of the Labor
Temple Association, was the third
man unanimously endorsed. Mr.. Chap
lin is democrat.
These three men were pledged the
undivided support of every delegate
present if they got into the race, and
it is believed that they will make the
race before the primaries in an effort
to land the nomination. Several other
names were mentioned, but it was
deemed unwise to endorse them until
they could be consulted.
But the proceedings made manifest
one thing-the union men of Lam
caster county are going to make their
presence felt in the coming primary
fight and the ensuing campaign.

mentioned above are all personally

THE CARPENTERS.
Prepare to Boost One of Their Num-

The Carpenters got busy last week
and decided to take a stand in the
political game. Having so decided they
unanimously agreed to do all they
could to secure a nomination upon the
republican ticket for J. w. Dickson,
and send him to the legislature. Then
they made it known that they were
ready to endorse any good union man
who happened to get a nomination for
the legislature, regardless of his poll
ties. All they want to know is that
he is square" man, a good citizen
and loyal to his fellows.
