Hon. 10 e. Washington, of Ce-
dar Hill, spent few days in the
city last week, having been invited
to address the graduating class of
the City High School. Mr.. Wash
ington made a very interesting
talk to the young ladies and young
gentlemen, but by far the most in
teresting part of his visit to many
of his friends here was the pros
poets of his chances fer the guber-
Material nomination next year.
Mr.. Washington is an old time
campaigner and a good one too.
He was a gold Democrat back in
the Bryan campaigns, but there is
one feature about his politics
which everybody admires and it is
the fact that he stood out boldly
for what he conceived to be right,
preferring retirement rather than
stultifying his principles for office.
His friends begged him to make
the race for re- election to Congress
from the Hermitage district on a
silver platform, but he courteously
and firmly declined. Little 10"
was very popular in his district,
and is to day one of the strongest
and best equipped men in the
State. His honesty cannot be
doubted and there are many in
this county who will roll up their
sleeves and enter actively into the
campaign in his support. No one
questions his ability to make a
good governor, and it is worth
while to say that it will take a
strong man to beat him if we can

will have double significance to
the people Of the county In the

that purpose. A very interesting
bit of history which is not gener-

County furnished more volunteers
for the Confederate Army than
the total number of voters IN the
county at that time, very high
compliment to the loyalty of her
brave sons. This is only one of

The Commercial goes out to-
morrow on its annual picnic, ac-
companied by the cousins. This
year it takes place at Samburg on
Reelfoot Lake and the prospects
are that it will be a very pleasant
occasion. A number have accept
ed an invitation to be present and
antlcipations for the disciples of
Sir Isaac Walton are very keen.
Mr.. Shaw promises to provide for
the party in a way that will make
them pleasant and comfortable.
He has park, boats and supplies
and plenty of fish for those who
can not catch their own. The
cousins are all welcome and a
good crowd is expected.

The indications are that there
will be not less than three candi-
dates for the State Senate from
Weakley, Obion and Lake coun-
ties to succeed Senator Bowden.
The friends Of Seid Waddell and
DR.. f. M. MeRee are already &C.
lively interested in making them
candidates, as are also the friends
of j. H. Mcdowell There is no
concealing the fact Mr.. Mellow
ellis strength will be unit for
him and that the opposition will be
divided, thus giving Mcdowell the
advantage in the race. In order
that the test of strength be fairly
made, Dir. McRee and Mr.. Wad-
dell should decide between them
selves who should make the race
and let the man who receives the
greater number cf votes in the
primary be the nominee. That is
Democracy and what The Com
mercial has always stood for.
Doesn't matter who wins The
Commercial will support him, but
we want to see fair test of the
Mcdowell and anti Mcdowell
forces. We don't want any con-
and 'sideshows" either.
The Democratic convention held
last year was rotten enough, but
the Mcdowell "sideshow" was
lnspeakable.
