JOHN B. LENNON COMING BACK.
| Iohn e Lennon has been nominated

JOHN b. LENNON OOMAN0 DhOn'
John B. Lennon has been nominated
by the Union Labor party for mayor
of Bloomington, ILL.,. He has accepted
the nomination and will resign gov"
eminent position paying much more
salary than the office of mayor will
give him. Mr.. Lennon is one of the
best known union labor men in the
United States. He was treasurer OF
the American Federation Of Labor and
secretary Of the Journeymen Tailors'
union for more than 80 years. He
took an active position against the
American saloon many years ago, and
was one of the foremost prohibition
advocates in the country. His oppost-
ton to the saloon cost him his Offices
in the American labor movement.
Now the saloon is either gone or
going, and John B. Lennon is coming
unto his own. The election in Bloom
ington will be watched this year with
more than passing interest, and good
people everywhere will be hoping for
Mr.. Lemons election.
