Junior Order Of American Mechanics
Move as a Leader Again.
The friends and members of the
Junior Order Of American Mechanics
have excelled again this week IN the
good work and have passed the 100000
mark. The results this week were
greatly in excess Of that of the week
previous and as the time is much
limited, a strenuous week will be in
order.
A most creditable vote rolled into
the Contest Mans Office for the Fra
ternal Order o. Eagles this week, and
likewise a large report reached us
for Eden Lodge and the Knights OF
Pvthias. Apparently the Juniors have
determined to wear out the big black
tyne used many times in the head
/ line to herald the leader TO The
4 EVENING JOURNAL readers. Still
they are conscious that they have foes
in the field who will fight every inch
Y of the way and put up an awful
struggle at the windup.
\ If we only knew the many things
Z tucked away under sleeves, some part
I of prediction could be hazarded, but
! in the big contest for books, the re-
\ sult will be in doubt until the very
last vote is counted Many voters
y who owe money are Withholding the
pavment of accounts until red letter
Y dav and there will be a deluge OF
money roll into the contest stores
4 next Wednesday. It is high time your
A forces we're organized with some
\ executive head, if you have not al
Y ready done so. Leaders. you must
\ haze ifsyou want to get results from
voN forces. They will only FOUNDER
v around the battlefield with no one TO
7 inspire them, with no one TO direct
\ them. to put up the good hght. they
would with someone TO follow. Ihefe
should be two or three committees
appointed, each to have their specinc
responsibility, placing the burden OF
success upon their shoulders. There
is one committee that has been at
work for some time, composed of hust-
3 lers that are genuine, and they are
doing snappy work every day. When
the big Contest reaches its journey
end you will know these men were
alive to the issue.
The Knights of Pythias are at the
game of jump again; they have re-
ceived over 100000 votes and the re-
turns are not complete; however, we
hope to have a full and complete re-
port from all merchants in time &c
publish same next Saturday.
The hustlers among Eden Lodge No
"a are indeed faithful; their hearts
are set upon winning that fine col
lection of books and should they fai
to prove the victors, it will because i
was a physical impossibil-ty to win.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles hav'
clung to second place for some week.
now, ever ready to jump aboard anG
take the reins, but the Juniors refusi
to be dislodged and rest serenely fo
another week at the point of honor.
IL may prove an advantage to los'
a lap or two. 1t may act as a spu
TO some Of the over-confdent. Thi
has sometimes proved the case tina
a bunch of voters never really knew
their strength until they fell hehin'
and when they had 10 brace mp ant
hustle, they were surprised at tn
amount of voting they could do corn
