Major A, L Fletcher is gen erally regarded as having a distinct advantage over Clarence E. Mitchell, who was second in their run-off con test for the Democratic nomination for commissioner of labor, which will end in the second primary of July 2.

Just as he surprised them and almost every one else In the first primary.
