Annual Event Inaugurated. Unsavory Connection With St. Johns Scandal Kills Political Aspirations. Each week new figures appear on the political horizon In St. Johns to com plicate the situation which a municipal election In that city always produces. Wednesday evening the Good Govern. ment association fired the first shot of the campaign by holding an organisa tion meeting and adopting a platform. The association, which this year Is la the field as a separate party and In tends to nominate a complete ticket, conxlsts for the most part of a section of the Republicans who have broken away from the old party on the ques tion of law enforcement.. The platform which they have adopt' cd has six section "strict enforcement of all c-lty ordinances In letter and spirit, without fear or favor"; Sunday closing of bowling alleys, poolrooms. skating rinks, danoe halls and saloons; ment in expenses ana reauouon les: ravors municipal aoca ana ferry, and favors a light street o keep down cost of street im provements. Colli ey for City Attorney. The composition of the Good Govern ment ticket Is still uncertain. H. E.

Mr. Brannick had not been in Port land lone before He assumed an im portant place among the public-spirited citizens. He never failed to enlist his services in the upbuilding of the city. Whatever was in his opinion for the best Interests of the community at lare-e commanded his hearty support.

Brannick, the veteran manager of the company, whose death after three weeks' Illness was due to a fall from a train In Washington. Mr. Wiggins said in part: "I never knew a man so highly esteemed by em ployer and employe alike. No one in the whole Studebaker concern was re garded so highly. He stood for all that was good. He belonged to the class that makes up the best In a community. He was a patriotic citlsen and an old sol dier. Mr. Brannick occupied -a niche which no one can fill. His loss Is felt by allf ' Mr. Wiggins, speaking In a reminis cent rein, said: "Edward Brannick has been Identified with the Studebaker Brothers' company for over 30 years. He was the dean of our traveling corps. His first' services were in Chicago, where he waa employed by the cotnpan m different capacities. He was engaged tn pioneer-work, in- new territory, not ably in Salt Lake City, where he went In 1879 and established tha company' first headquarters In that territory. He came to Portland in 1892. when the company organized their northwest agency, following the failure of the firm of Staver & Wajker. who had pre viously handled the products of Stude baker Brothers In this city. Mr. Bran nick had been here continuously since that time, representing his company throughout the whole northwest. He was without doubt the greatest sales man of the age In his line of business. In the ranks of salesmen he stood with out a peer. Had Many AoQU&lntanoes. "In the short time that I have been In the city his widespread popularity among his friends and associates here has been repeatedly In.pressed upon me by the many Inquiries which I have re ceived regarding his condition. Since his da&th manv telegrams of condnlnnca have arrived from friends and business acquaintances from all parts of the country. Mr. Bannlck never forgot a name or a face, and the list of those who numbered him among their friends is enormous." The funeral services will be held at 9 o clock : tomorrow morning in the Ca- of George Washington is likely to have to aisiriDuie.
