.REALESTATE MEN
GOOD ADVERTISERS
PLAN TO JOIN COMMERCIAL CLUB
In ISSUING ILLUSTRATED
LITERATURE OF VALLEY.

Plans for real estate men to ioiu
with the Commercial club i'll issuing
several thousand booklets, Illustrative
of, the resources of Walla Walla and
the Walla Walla valley were launched
at the regular meeting of the CONNER
cial club held last night in the Ran
som building. The matter took definite
shape following an address by Arie
Hover. of the firm of Hover g.
Schiffner, in which the speaker de-
iclared that all that Walla Walla lacke. r
to bring many thousands of home
seekers here was proper advertising
throughout the east. Mr.. Hover urged
that the Commercial club issue hand
some illustrated booklet. and place an
advertisement i'm some of the leading
magazines having a large circulation
in the east. Real estate men he said
should join in. with the club and help
bear the expense.
+. 5. Dement, called attention to the
fact that the Commercial club has LET
a contract for 10000 copies of an IL
Illustrated booklet to cost in the neigh
borhood of $500. Mr.. Dement, said the
Icommittee in charge of issuing the
book had. called on various realestate
firms of the city but had met with lit
tie financial encouragement. Mr.. Hover
said his firm was willing to cor
tribute $3.50 toward defraying the ex-
penses of getting out advertising lit
erature. This action will probably re-
suit in concerted action by realestate
firms to contribute toward the expense
incurred by the Commercial club in
issuing the booklets The plan under
consideration is for realestate firms TO
subscribe for so many copies of the
booklets. the price to be agreed upon
when the cost is ascertained.

Aside from these addresses, no bust
ness was transacted yesterday except
the receiving of delegates precipitated
when they advocated the adoption of
a resolution which provided that no
delegate be given a seat unless he wore
at least three union made labels on
his. garments. AS the passage of the
measure would have ruled out nearly
half the 800 delegates, the resolution
was overwhelmingly defeated.

GEORGE TURNER
. QUITS THE GAME
Spokane Man Announces Re-

SAYS He WANTS TO REST
DENIES THAT HE is SORE AT AC-
TION OF RECENT DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONVENTION.

SEATTLE, June 9.-That George
Turner has retired from politics is the
statement made here by the Washing
ton Democrat, which publishes a
signed communication from the former
senator announcing his retirement
The editor of the Democrat recently
asked Mr.. Turner if he was to be a
presidential gubernatorial or senate
rial candidate on the democratic ticket
the Spokane man having been mem
toned in all three of these connec-
tions.
Mr. Turner'S reply was in the form
of a signed statement, reading as
follows:
Il am not candidate for president
on the democratic ticket. and have no
idea the democratic convention, or any
my name seriously if it We're present
ed in that convention. Moreover, | am
tinguished democratic statesman whose
mental and moral equipment make him
the ideal of his party and eminently
fit for the office of chief magistrate
of the republic.
Neither am | candidate for gov
ernor, or senator, on the democratic
ticket at the ensuing primaries in this
state
My determination to decline any
proffered candidacy this fall was taken
before the assembling of the late dem
ocratic state convention. and was we'll
known to my personal friends 1t does
not, / assure you, arise from pique at
any action taken at that convention.
The fact is that l have been actively
engaged in politics for 40 years. during
more than one-half of which period
have served the public in various capa-
cities, and l now crave rest and re-
pose.
Il will not disguise. however. that
the action of the convention in depart
ing so far from time honored demo-
cratic doctrines in it's platform of prin-
ciples has confirmed me. so far as con-
firmation was necessary, in my deter
mination. Having opposed the adop-
ton of the most important declaration
in the platform concerning state policy
am not the man to lead the democrat
ic forces of the state in advocacy Cf
that policy, moreover. if that policy
shall in fact. blaze the way to demo-
cratic success Gas was claimed on the
floor of the convention by it's most dis
tinguished advocates) then some gen
tleman in sympathy With it and re-
sponsible for its adoption is entitled to
reap the fruits Of the victory"
