LOYALTY TO HOME INDUSTRIES

The loyal citizens of every progress
sive town must be bound together by
to work for the good of all. The very
name community applied to the people
of a neighborhood, village, town or
city, embodies this idea of common in
terest Fidelity to this principle is the
basis of the argument for supporting
all worthy home industries and enter
prises Even if home made articles or
the goods kept for sale by the home
merchant cost slightly more than they
might be purchased for in larger cities,
the citizen will gain nothing in the end
and his community will lose a great
deal if a practice is made of sending to
other cities for wares that might be
purchased at home.
Money sent to Montgomery Ward &
Company in Chicago, may help to add
to the greatness of Chicago by sup
plying funds for the erection of sky
scraping business blocks, the financing
of street railways and other enter
prises for the advancement and expan-
sion of that emporium, but it does
nothing toward the erection Of new
business buildings, the building Of
electric lines, the paving of streets, or
the advancement of any industry or
enterprise in Walla Walla.
Every man VINO sends away for
! goods that might be bought for reason
able prices in Walla Walla, strikes a
blow at the prosperity of his home
this practice the town would soon be-
, come a habitation fit only for rats, bats
and owls. What is wrong for all to do
is wrong for any individual to do. That
( the town is not ruined by the disloy
atty of a few individuals who buy
goods in other cities is because the ma
| jority of citizens are loyal to home en-
| terprises and home merchants.
Some merchants lose sight of this
| principle of loyalty to home institu-
| lions when it comes to matters affect
| ing their individual interests. For ex-
| of sending to Portland, Spokane, or
Seattle for printing that could just as
we'll be procured in Walla Walla. The
Evening Statesman has one of the
/ best equipped printing establishments
| between Salt Lake and Portland, ready
| for turning out anything from a bill
head to a ledger. 1t is prepared to do
ruling and bookbinding in the best
styles known to the printers art, yet
| there are a few merchants and other
business men in Walla Walla who still
nave the idea that they must send
done
When it comes to trade affecting
| themselves, these business men readily
| agree that every good citizen should
patroniZe only home industries and
! they are ready to condemn in severe
terms anyone who orders from other
! cities the particular classes of goods
that they keep in stock, but they for
get that the Walla Walla printer is
Il just as much entitled as the home mer-
y chant to the patronage of home people

The Democratic Nominee.

The fight of Hon. Malcolm Rice Pat
terson, which eliminated in his nomi-
nation for governor by the largest dem
ocratic convention ever held in the
state, is one of the most remarkable ev-
er madein Tennessee Outside of his
immediate section he was acquainted
with but few people in the state. He
had never canvassed the state as a cam
paign speaker, with view to obtaining
office at some future time, as is often
the case with those who have designs on
offies. Having decided to retire from
congress, where under the existing rule
and system, little opportunity is offered
man of spirit and ambition, he de-
cided to become candidate for gov.
ernor. Having so decided he determin'
ed upon his line OF action, prepared his
speech, which was also his platform,
and came to Nashville to open his cam
paign. He delivered his speech under
the shadow of the cspito and from it

Of the democratic administration of the
affairs of the state. -Riply News.
The agony is over. Patterson fought
good battle and won. He is now the
nominee OF his party for the Office of
chief executive of the Volunteer state.
While our state has not had a republi
can governor since Alvin Hawkins, that
party is going to make fight to land
their candidate, H. Clay Evans. The
national republican committee proposes
to back him, if nominated, They will
spend money freely to turn the state
his way. This should be warning
enough for all democrats to get togeth-
er and work as never before to save the
state from falling into the arms of the
covetous republican party,-Dyersburg

The democracy of Madison county is
not divided and the grand old county
will turn out the usual, or a larger,
majority for Hon. NJ. r. Patterson in
November than for other democratic
candidates in the past. The same spir-

Garter to Shelby, and the dream that

The nomination of Gen. M. r. Pat
terson by the state convention is graft
flying to the great body of democrats in
Upton county. The nomination went
to the strong est man before the conven-
tion, and it was procured by the sup
port of majority of the democrats of
the state. He entered the race and wen
his way by his own personal force, I'M
aided by any sort of organization. He
stood for definite aud clear-cut issues.
Gen. Patterson is able to meet any man
the republicans may name, even though
it be the redoubtable H. Clay Evans.
Gen. Patterson is the peoples choice,
and the rank and file of the democrats
of the state will see that victory is sure

Party Solid for Patterson.

"Gen. Patterson, as the democratic
nominee for governor, will, in my opin-
ion, receive the full vote OF the party
all through East Tennessee, and espe-
cially Bristol and Sullivan county,"
declared a prominent democratic poll
tlcian yesterday and man who has
been more than once honored by the
party and who was one of the govern
or's most ardent supporters in the past
campaign.
"We have our little family troubles
in the party, but the wounds soon heal
and the democrat who would endeavor
to open that wound and breed dissen-
tion is not loyal to his party" continu-
ed the speaker.
Since the defeat of Gov Cox in the
gubernatorial convention the democrats
in Bristol and Sullivan county are be-
coming reconciled to the action of the
convention and in the firm belief that
Gov. Cox will yet be honored again by
the democracy of the state, and declare
themselves loyal to the ticket and ready
to make fight for it.
"That Gen. Patterson is a strong

The action of the democratic state |
convention in the nomination of Hon.
Malcolm r. Patterson to be the party's
candidate for governor was plainly in
consonance with the indubitable fact
that he was the choice of the majority
Of th democrats of Tennessee among
the gentlemen who stood before the
party aspiringsto that honor. Despite
the complications, the disagreements
and exciting episodes, the disturbing
claims aud counter claims, the protests
and contests OF the pre- convention
campaign, it became apparent before
the end of the canvass to the close and
impartial observer that Mr.. Patterson
had gained an advantage in popular fa-
vor which, if given untrammelled ex-
preston in the convention, would lead
to his nomination. Without discussing
any of the disturbing issues and fea
lures OF the remarkable convention
which after long, arduous and excit-
ing session, adjourned at an early hour
this morning, it can be said without Sc
rious question, that Mr.. Patterson as
the nominee of the convention stands
also as the preferred candidate of the
majority of his party,
1t must also be said that the victory
won by Mr.. Patterson was due more
largely to his own personal force and
the impress he made upon the people
10 his canvass of the state than to any
other cause. 1t is true that when the
contest was brought to the crucial sta

SITUATION REVIEWED.
Editor Lyle, of Johnson City, Issues a
Signed Interview.


Nashville Banner, Friday Afternoon, June /.
Hon. Oy Lyle, editor of the Johnson
City Comet, gave out the following
signed interview in regard to the gu
bernatorial situation:
"'The machine dies hard, is an ex-
presslon heard on every hand, and its
struggles are watched with mingled
feelings of delight and despair, accord
ing to the temper of the observer. 1t
required little intelligence to be able to
know who the people are for in this
race for governor. Outside the ranks
of the officeholders and their immediate
friends there is practically no following
behind Gov. Cox, and there is absolute
y no enthusiasm even among those
whose positions depend upon his re-
election. This condition existed
throughout the campaign, but it is
particularly noticeable III this conven-
tion.
On the other hand, the convention
goes wild even over the heretofore un-
known followers of Gen. Patterson, and
when the name of their leader is men
toned, the waves of applause shake the
auditorium like cyclone. Just why
the machine wants to force the nomina-
ton of John Eyesick Cox against the
will of tbree'iourths of the democrats
of the state is certainly not apparent
upon its face, but 1t is so we'll known
in the hearts OF the people that no ex-
planation is necessary The determi-
nation of the people to select their
choice for a standard bearer in Novem-
ber is good omen, Notwithstanding
the Cox people claim it will disrupt the
party if persisted in. just how 80 per
cent. of the democracy can kill the par
ty because they will not yield to hall
dozen juggernaut drivers who are
blindly leading handful of riders
over a perilous road to a passive pit Of
oblivion is not manifest.
"It is the sheerest folly for this mi.
nority to longer keep up this fight and
hope to maintain even their self-respect
or to pretend that they have the inter
ests of the party at heart.
