President McArthur Johnson of the Union, Charles W.

World's Fair was presented and adopted by a unan 17... i. 4' I 2 Last Sunday, at Reform Hall, 812 North Fourth street, the first candidate for the office of World's Fair mayor of the city of St. Louis was nominated.

The gentleman who has the honor Is Mr. Leon Greenbaum. In the coming race for the mayoralty he will represent the Social Democratic party. Mr. Greenbaum Is a comparatively young man, having been born In 1C6 at Philadelphia.

In the 34 years of his life, however, he has had a varied experience, not always pleasant, as he himself says, but a useful one In the line of work to which he Is now devoting himself. Starting as an office boy, he has been successively a retail clerk, stenographer, leader of an orchestra, traveling salesman, author and editor. He Is a self-educated man. having had little opportunity for gathering knowledge from any other source than reading and observation. Beginning with a very elementary education, he.

bv persistent effort and voracious reading, gradually acquired a fund of information that has stood him ia good stead. His musical education was likewise self-acquired. In l.vq Air. Greenbaum came to St. Louis to work for a millinery company.

to this time he had had little opportunity of studying the propaganda of tho socialists; in fact, he had given it no thought whatever. But In while traveling In the West on his usual commercial trip, he read Coin's Financial School" and Inter met the author of that work. Ho was impressed with the book and attributes to Its Influence his present connection with the Social Democracy of the city. It led him Into a study of industrial and economic questions and from these to consideration of the principles of socialism. From this time tie devoted more and more of bis time the subject and finally gave up his business In order to devote bis exclusive attention to It.

During the last four years he has served his party in many ways as lecturer, as the author of an economical romance entitled "List Das of the Nineteenth Century." and as editor of a journal known as the Review of Reforms. He lost money In the last venture, as it was conducted at his own extiense and never paid Its way. Most of Mr. Greenbaum's time recently has been spent In lecturing In the state and in the city to strengthen the party organization. The gain In tiiu Social Democratic vote at the last election testifies to tho success of his efforts.

The clerks' union claim that thev should not be made to bear the responsibility for any mistakes that Isaacs' men have made, but the Central Trades and Labor Union decided that the clerks should not have official recognition until the alleged debt was paid.
