WON OVER BY
ENTHUSIASM
!. J. BOUNDS, OF YAKIMA, NOW
ENTHUSIASTIC BRYAN
SUPPORTER.

SEATTLE, July POT was about
half a democrat when I went to Den
recent convention, and 1 came away
an enthusiastic Bryan man. 1 have
caught the spirit that makes men
cheer the mere mention of a name for
eighty eight minutes
1. J. Bounds, of North Yakima, who
completed mis- work at Harvard law
school this year, came home by way
of Denver, and in the foregoing he
gives utterance to his political posi-
ton. Mr.. Bounds is a former student
at Washington and Stanford and has
large acquaintanceship in Seattle
THE cheering for Bryan when Sen
ator Gore of Oklahoma mentioned his
name," said Mr.. Bounds. was not a
framed affair but was the uncurbed
enthusiasm of north, east, south and
west for a man whose personality is
irresistible.
"The leaders would much rather have
kept the enthusiasm in check the first
day, but once the blind senator had
spoken the name there was no curbing
the delegates and the spectators. 1t
wasn't like the forty-eight minutes of
Roosevelt at Chicago, when the cheer
ing was started for a purpose.
81 went to Denver half a democrat,
but I found myself carried away with
the Bryan spirit and I'm in line now
to the finish.
"I am personally acquainted with
John Mitchell, the great labor leaders
and from conversations with him, and
with other prominent union men, I
believe Bryan is going to get most Of
the workingmen. Coming west 1 trav-
eled over a great many railway divi-
sions and I made it my business
throughout the journey to sound out
the railroad men, trainmen, yardmen
and others, and almost to a man
found them favoring the Nebraskan"
Mr.. Bounds will visit in Seattle sew
eral days before returning to North
Yakima. where he will take the bar
examinations in the fall.

following statement concerning the
progress of the work:
Is Walla Walla to have a $4,000, ,ooO
college? Does Walla Walla want
$2,000,O0O college? What is Waila
Walla doing toward getting a $4,000, 900
college? Would it be of any value 10
the citizens of Walla Walla city and
county if they had a $2,0OO,OOO col
lege? These are the questions when
are being asked by those who are IN
terested in the New Whitman college
campaign, not only in this city, but in
all the principal districts of the Pa

have signified their intention of aid
ing Walla Walla to get this $4,000, 1000

ty of Walla Walla if this campaign to
raise $2,000,000 is a success. The
subscriptions are made upon a ten
year basis, that is, if a person SUD-
scribes $1,000 he would be given ten
years to pay it in. What would be the
value to the city of Walla Walla
which this new campaign would have.
if we spread it over a period Of ten
years? We would itemize it as fol-
lows:

Permanent invested fund, $2,6O6, 900.
Third-There would be spent In
Walla Walla during the ten years, ten
annual incomes from endowment Sayl
at 5 per cent, or $62S,000.
FOurth-There would be spent for
building and equipment, if the plans
carry, at least $1,000,000.
