SPIRITED RACE ON
FOR CIVIC HONORS.
Jesse C.. Suter and Charles
!: A. Baker Competing for
! Federation Presidency.

A race between Jesse c. Suter and
Charles A. Baker for president of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions is expected to enliven the an
nual election of officers TO be held in
the boardroom of the District Build
ing Saturday night.
Rumors also were current today to
the effect that the delegates from
the eastern section of the city We're
planning to put forward a northeast
firm the report.
1t was learned that the question
was considered recently by certain
leaders in the eastern sections of the
city, but the most reliable informa-
ton available today was that the
delegates from that part of town con-
cluded not to unite on any candidate,
but to act as individuals at the
election.
Group Desires Change.
A group of delegates deSirouS of a
change III leadership is said to have
prepared a slate to oppose President
Suter, made up as follows: For preSi-
dent, Charles A. Baker: for vice presi-
dent, William Henry White. It is
understood this group will support
David Babp. the incumbent secretary,
for reelection.
Those in touch with the affairs in
the federation say that in order to
defeat Mr.. Suter it will be necessary
for his opponents to swing to one
candidate all of the opposition votes.
In other words, they believe that if
there are more than two in the race
Mr.. Suter would likely be reelected
There is an added interest in the
election of a president of the fedora
tion this year in view of the fact that
the president of the organization is eX
officio chairman of the Citizens Ad-
visory Council, which was created last
Summer at the suggestion of the Com
missioners to cooperate with the city
government in obtaining from Con
gress necessary appropriations and
new legislation.
Issue Discussed at Luncheon.
1t has developed that last Saturday
group of about 16 delegates gathered
at the Cosmos Club for luncheon. at
which the forthcoming election was
discussed.
Mr.. Baker. who is being put forward
by a substantial group. is a former
president of the federation. and is also
serving at the present time as a mem
ber of the advisory council. Both he
and President Suter have considerable
strength in the federation, and an in
teresting election is looked for.
1t is probable that on the first ballot
Saturday night other candidates will
appear in the field, but thus far it is
not. known that there are concerted
movements for any others than Suter
and Baker.
