Of some or the members OF the order
to get control Of the affairs Of the fra
ternity.
Edward II. Norris Of Chicago, the
present grand master, Is being groom
ed by his friends for reelection, 1t is
said He has already received the in
dorsement Of several district grand
lodges. Mr.. Norris has served seven
years as grand master, but there was
an intervening period during his Oc-
cupancy Of the position. AS the last
session of the biennial movable COM
mittee, held In Atlanta. failed to elect
his successor. therefore he and the Of
fcers elected at Baltimore three years
ago are still holding on.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, the present
deputy grand master OF the order, Is
also being strongly backed for the
position. He has the backing Of his
On-GeOrgia-and has receiv-
ed assurances Of support from various
sections Of the country. At the last
session of the biennial movable com
mittee Mr.. Johnson would have prob
ably been elected grand master Of the
order II he had not declined on account
Of his having been committed to the
candidacy of Benjamin J. Davis.
The latter has declared that he will
not enter the fight next year, but will
devote all Of his energies to the con-
tinued upbuilding of the order. Mr.
Johnson Is the present recorder OF
deeds at Washington. He Is a grad
uate of Atlanta university and the
University Of Michigan law school. He
has been prominent I'm the affairs Of
the order for years. His friends say
that his election will make for the
conciliation of the various factions In
the order.
There are many candidates In the
field for the other prominent offices In
the order. Benjamin Nelson Of Har-
risburg. Pa, is being talked Of to enter
the race against James Fl. -Needham Of
Philadelphia, who has been secretary
for many years. Julius c. Johnson OF
Baltimore will have opposition for re-
election as grand treasurer, and should
there be a new subcommittee Of man
agement selected Harry s. Cummings
Of Baltimore may lose out as attorney
general of the order. The biggest fight
will take place over the question Of
the abolition. Grand Master Morris Is
said to have been one Of the most en-
thusiastic champions OF its creation,
but he and his followers In the order
are now regarded as opposed to its
continued existence. mas :".'.
One Of the anomalies of the situation
Is that those who will most likely be
