Splendid Nonpartisan Recep-

from JHe nOfln part OF Lne SLdle,
was given one of the most cordial
receptions ever rendered a public
official in our little city. While the
governors trip was political he was
met on the broader plane of chief ex-
ecutive of our state. by the citizens
of our town, and was accorded wei
come so hearty and unfeigned in mat
ter of hospitality, that he was free
to admit that he had never met up
with a better nor broader minded
people any where in all his travels.
And in this connection it is proper
to state that the promiaent and ac-
tive democrats of our community
lenH their influence and assistance
freely and unstinted, to this desir-
able end.
The Camas Prairie train was met
at 645 Sunday evening by a pro
cession OF autos, freighted down by
leading citizens, and Mayor w w.
Brown and President j. Frank Sims,
of the Commercial Club. received the
governor on his alighting from the
train, and with him in one of the
autos headed the procession for the
Imperial Hotel, where arrangements
had been made for one of the best
suites OF rooms that splendid host
lery affords. The date being Sunday
precluded the services of the band,
but did not bar hearty greetings and
quiet visiting with the governor in the
hotel lobby by his many admiring
friends. And right here is
where the governor-candidate holds
his own with the best Of
them--he is pre- eminently a mixer
and has faculty OF spreading his
presence out over the entire assem-
blage OF people and making them all
feel that he is visiting with them
personally whether he is giving di-
rect attention to. them individually or
not, that every public man does not
possess. In consideration of his
long ride from Occur dAlene the
governor was permitted 10 retire
early Sunday night, the assembled
friends, by mutual consent agreeing
upon such action.
Monday was spent by Gov. Brady
in visiting the citizens of the town at
their places OF business and shaking
hands with them and conyersing
briefly on matters of general interest
to the state, with just enough pol
itics thrown in to lend spice and re-
lish to the interview. Every business
place in the city was entered by the
governor in his round vi visits, and
If any one failed to shake the ex.
ecutive's hand it was not that gen
tleman's fault.
Monday night the Grangeville Mil
itary band was out, and after play
ing a few choice selections on the
street and at the hotel, led the com
mittee-escort and governor to the
Odd Fellows building where arrange
ment had been completes for recep-
ton. A brief musical and literary
program had been provided as intro
ductory to the occasion, and PROBATE
