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

for city attorney and is expected to
make a very strong candidate, o. n.

Kansas City house and in 3 S 92 came to
Portland and built the present east side
house of the Btudebaker company.
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.
Manv a nlan for a better and greater
Portland would nave rauen tnrougn put
for his support and influence.
Ah a member of the Commercial club
he did much to note the enterprises in
which that organization wag interested
and was one or its most vaiuea mem
bers. He was a member of the Catholic
church, of the Travelers' Protective as
soclation and of the Arlington club.
Tribute xrom Associate.
W. F. Wiggins, office manager of the
Studebaker Brothers' company or aouin
Bend. Indiana, when interviewed laBt
evenlnar naid a deep tribute to the mem
ory of Edward M. 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.
General Washington had several thou
sand acres of "western" land in Ohio,
of which his estate Is said to have been
wrongfully deprived soon afier his
death. A bill is now before congress
to reimburse his estate through Robert
E. Lee, administrator de bonis non, to
the extent of $305,100 for the loss of
this land over 100 years ago.
