After one of the Hveliest contests
in the history of the organization, the
Chamber of Commerce elected Robert
1919 at the annual meeting at
Rauseher's last night en&
Mr. Harper defeated by q vote OF
1851 to 121 A.'Leftwich Sinclair, who
had been nominated by friends to
serve a third term. Mr. Harper was
an unwilling candidate, but opponents
of the third term principle nominated
him in spite of his declaration that
he did not desire the presidency. d.
Although it was apparent when the
annual meeting began that two strong
factions had developed among the
members, the meeting ended Al IN, a
spirit of reunion, as Mr.. Sinclair
walked down the aisle to the platform
arm in arm with Mr., Harper.
Harmony Is Evident.
Mr. Harper told the chamber that
he had sought to evade election be-
cause he was stauch friend and sup
porter of Mr.. Sinclair, burt that his
friends declined to take no., for an
answer. When Mr.. Sinclair suggested
that a vote be taken to make MIR. Har-
per's election unanimous only one or
two dissenting voices were heard. MIR.
Sinclair was heartily applssuded when
he declared that whether he had. been
a good president or not, he would be
a good loser.

An hour of Spirited debate over the
two presidential candidates preceded
the election, but enough humor and
good feeling were mingled with the
addresses to indicate clearly that the
contest, was not a personal one.
Argument for Reelection.
Merchants, including Ross P. An

Wells, supported Mr.. Harper on the
ground that a man in the business
world could better handle the many
questions affecting Washington which
come up while the city is returning

School Problems Considered.

while the question of providing LOT
efficiency in the public schools comes
last in this enumeration OF recon-
struction problems, it is by no mehas
the least in Importance There IS no
more urgent problem before the peo-
pie of the District than that now pre-
sented by the public schools. The
schools unfortunately. are in most
serious condition.
Congress should provide at once
for more liberal salaries for the
teachers-salaries which will enable
the board of education to retain for
our schools the talent now employed
and to secure and retain the services
of such other instructors as are
needed. In no other way can the
critical situation of the schools be
remedied.
In this connection permit me to call
attention to the small salaries re-
ceiyed by the members of our fire de-
paftment We assisted these pubic
servants in their recent VICTORIOUS
fight for the adoption of the two
platoon system, and / feel that we
should assist them in their efforts TO
bring about proper increase in their
salaries

To my mind this is q peculiarly op,

the establishment of representative
