ciOus Circumstances.

Canvass the city.

The meeting OF the citizens las,
night at the city hall in the interest
Of The commercial organization was
not large, but all who were there
came for business, and hence excel
lent progress was made towards the
formation Of the organization.
Mr.. W. +. Paxton called the meet
ing to order and read the plan Of or
ganizstion that had been adopted by
the directors appointed at the pre-
vious meeting for that purpose. He
then read them as follows:
The subscribers hereto associate
themselves together for the pur-
pose OF organizing a commercial club.

mercial and Manufacturing Associa-
ton Of Paduoah. The purpose Of
said association shall be to promote
the interest and welfare Of Paducah
and McCracken county. The affairs
Of this association shall be controlled
by board Of twelve directors, which
shall be elected by members OF this
association, on the first Monday in

1t was decided committees he selected
as follows: Freight and passengers
rates insurance; industries adver-
Using employment; immigration
park and entertainment. He said the
chairmen OF these committees would
be taken from the board Of directors,
and each chairman would select his
own associates, and oil matters per-
tanning to any subject would be re-
ferred to the proper committee, thus
dividing materially the work OF the
directors.
MIR. G. w. Thompson moved the
adoption OF the by laws as read, and
the motion Was carried.
Mr.. A. j. Decker moved that a
committee be appointed to go among
the business men and solicit mem

use OF the council chamber.

ton we're then taken and % members

SO mpletely'overshadowed political
questions that it is hard to realize that
nominating conventions are 80 near at
hand. The Republican legislative
convention is one of the early ones,
and will soon be called. The party will
be asked to express it's choice for a
senator and two representatives So
far as Grant county is concerned, the
result in part is a foregone conclu-
sion.
Grant county will ask that Senator
Edwin j. Jones, of Morris be renomin-
ated. Mr.. Jones proved himself to be
an honest, faithful and hard workin g
legislator during the term he served
this district, and the Herald believes
that the parties chosen representatives
will say to him, "Well done, good and,
faithful servant" and tender him the
nomination. Senator Jones deserves.

believe he will accept the hon Or if it is
offered to him. His home county will
ask that he again serve the district.
His nomination by reclamation and
triumphant election rests simply upon
his willingness to serve again as
senator,
While entirely superfuous to do so
Grant county Republicans serve notice
that they will ask for the renomina-
ton of Republican representative
Louis 0. Foss. In the defence of all
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the great mass of people he stood as
solid as the rock of Gibraltar. And
not only did he stand and defend but
he fought for each and every measure
that was in the interest of the people
He was known as one of the most ag-
gressive, out spoken and able mem
bers of the house. No one ever found
it necessary to ask, "Whst side is Foss
on?" or "How will Foss vote?' At a
future time the Herald will take pleas
ure in riviewing in detail his excellent
record. Mr.. Foss' services are appre-
ciated and we believe that he, too,will
be renominated by reclamation.

present it's choice for the second rep

by the delegation from that county
will be named by the district conven-
