The Nebraska .delegation, "delayed In
transmission, arrived Monday after
noon just in time to enter the - parade.
There are 32 delegates and they are
accompanied by ) SO ladies. The men

Miniature palmetto trees, made of the
fiber of -the real trees, appear on the
coat lapels of the men from South

sent a party of: 28 to . Portland, 14 cf
them being delegates. There are eight

'There are neighborhoods in the Unit
ed States," said : Walter E. Fraser. secretary-treasurer
I of Post A. Memphis-,
Tenn., "which are so old-fashioned and
remote that it is said of pillars of so
ciety who reside there that they still
warn their wives and lock up their
daughters whenever a traveling man
strikes town. In spite of this disparage
ment we like to believe, and we know,
that the average traveling salesman is
a very decent personage Indeed, a gen
tlemanand one who possesses In abun
dance all the virtues which characterise
a model citizen." : ;
The T. P. A. delegates from force of
habit, perhaps are a ; letter writing
crowd. At the ! Multnomah hotel this
morning every available desk was occu
pied by letter writers, some were stand
ing at counters for this purpose and the
stenographers were simply , swamped
with work. There's been a remarkable
run on postcards depicting Portland and
.Oregon scenery, and they are going out
to practically all states of the Union.

Tennessee boosters are getting in good
work at the Portland convention. Nash
ville wants the. convention next year,
and Memphis "is willin' " to be the con
vention host as well. Under the direc
tion of J. Q. Goodman, first vice presi
dent of Tennessee Post A, there was dis
tributed-, thla morning a handsomely Il
lustrated 88. page booklet setting forth
the; work of the T. P. A. and the attrac
tions, of Memphis. . -' J,,-;
Three years ago the Tennessee poet
of the T, P. A. was organised with only
80 members. At the last convention the
report showed 800 members and this has
now been raised to 836 in th last year.
Tennessee has set the goal at 2500 mem
bers by the time of the next convention.
During the year this state post lost its
president, Thomas H. Morton of Mem
phis, who died at Colorado Springs. R.
I. Campbell, also pf , Memphis, was
elected to fill the vacancy. He and W.
K. Fraser, state secretary and treasurer,
are both participants in the activities in
progress here, t '-. ,

Texas, besides boosting its oil devel
