Son Succeeds Father.

Lafayette Gordon, of Lexing-
ton, son of Hon. John P. Gordon,
State Auditor-elect, has sue
ceeded his father as travelling
representative for the Buxton &
Skinner Stationary Company of
St. Louis, and made his first
visit to Richmond Tuesday as a
travelling salesman. Mr.. Cor
don, ST., was one of the most
popular commercial travellers
in the state and this had much to
do with his nomination and elect
ion to a state office. The son is
a chip of the old block and will
no doubt make good" as the
successor of his father and some
day perhaps, step into the po-
ition which his father will as
sumo next January.--Richmond

who were elected the minor state
offices to explain why Mr.. Bryan
failed to carry the state this
year, That is easy-just two
reasons, a number of Democrats
laboring under misrepresentation
and plenty of Republican Doodle.
The Republican editors who are
asking these questions are the

there is a prospect Of a new town UNI
afflicted with the billboard nuisance.
The Milwaukee Land and TOwnsite
company, which is promoting the new
towns along the line of the Chicago
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad In
this state, has announced that the
deeds conveying lots in the new town
of Maiden, in Whitman county, VIII
contain q clause forever prohibiting
the owner of the lot from placing on
it billboard for advertising purposes
Now if the Milwaukee can only sug-
gest a plan of roofing out the bill
boards now in existence it will earn
the everlasting gratitude of every be-
lever in civic beauty.

BRYAN THE NOMINEE.

The efforts of a certain element the
eastern democracy to prevent the nom
ination Of Mr.. Bryan at Denver have
signally failed and it now appears prop
able that the Nebraskan's name WIZ
he the ONLY one presented to the Den
yer convention.
Referring to the candidates who
have been brought out by the eastern
ers in their attempt to find a leader
capable of standing in the Nebraskan's
shoes, Billy" Goodyear, who has that
happy faculty of saying the right thing
at the right time. recently stated that
he expected to live to see the day when,
not only Bryan. but Johnson and Folk
as well would in their turn. occupy the
White House. This was a neat way OF
COMMUNICATING the fasteners on the
candidates they had brought out They
are great and able statesmen, but just
now the democracy insists that they
shall give way to the man who mas
borne the brunt of denocracy'S fight
for the past twelve years.
The eastern leaders had their day in
1904, and they failed to make good, and
the rank and file Of the party has again
taken the reins of party government.
Mr.. Bryan has grown greater,
stronger and more attractive with the
passing years, and he will enter this
falls presidential race with the solid
support, not only of his own party,
but of thousands of republicans who
are in thorough sympathy with prog
ress and reform.

HELP COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Upwards of a Thousand Odd Fellows.
from various parts of the state. will be
in Walla Walla next week. and an eff
fort is being made to secure good ac-
commodations for the visitors. The ho-
tells of the city cannot take care of
all of the guests, and an appeal to the
citizens to place available rooms at the
disposal of the committee has been
made.
1t appears to The Statesman that
this is an excellent opportunity for
Walla Wallans to show their faith in
<he campaign for Greater WaIa
Walla. There are few better means of
advertising the city than will be pre-
scented by the grand lodge OF the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows. From
every town in the state the delegates
Will come and back to every town ir
the state they Will take their views
of the Garden City. These views will
not be the result of a careful study of
the citys resources or natural adj
Vantages. They will be the result of the
treatment accorded the individual
guest, and if he is compelled to sleep
an cot in a hotel corridor. the
chances are that he will go home with
the idea that one visit to Walla Walla
is enough for him-and ne will spread
this idea.
The delegates who come to Walia
Walla will have to suffer the inconven-
fences of inadequate railway accom-
modations. and this bad influence
onust be offset by a courteous hospi-
tally while they are in the city.
Viewed only from the standpoint OF
the future prosperity of the city, it
would be better that no conventions
come to Walla Walla than that the DEL
egates who attend should go away feel
ing that they had been poorly treated
either in the matter of accommoda-
tons or in the matter of prices
charged for his accommodations and
subsistence
Those in sympathy with these views
should lose no time in placing them
selves in communication with Score
tary Moore, OF the Commercial club.
