Announcements.
The News is authorized to announce
that upon soliciiation of a number of
the, people H. B. Venmim is a candid
ate for the nomination for delegate to
the constitutional convention from
Kingfisher county, or such part there-
of as the districting board see fit to in
corporate in si Id district, subject to
the will of the republican voters of
said'district.
We are not well enough educated
in political aflairs to understand
how a man can deliver the prize at
the end of a promise when he has
made two prior promises of the
same character. This seems to be
the age of political chicanery with a
darkey in the wood-pile-
To the victors belong the spoils.
However it is surprising how quick
ne fellows can join the band
wngon in order to share in the
division of the spoils.
A man whose influence can be
purchased by a mess of pottage is a
worse grafter than he wlio openly
sells out for cash. However, when
it comes to a show down the in-
fluence of either is usually lacking.

For Constitutional Delegate
Elsewhere in these column* is
found the announcement of H. B.
Vcnnum as a candidate for delegate
to the constitutional convention.
The News is pleased to indorse tht
candidacy of Mr. Yeunuin and we
candidly Mieve that no lietUr man
for this purpose can be found in
Kingfisher county. In another ar-
ticle we state what we call the qual-
ifications which a candidate for a
seat in this convention should pos-
sess, and we find that the above
named gentleman measures up to
the standard in every particular-
He is a thinking, progressive man
who is awake to the needs of the
mass of the people and would repre-
sent the people in that convention
and who would not he influenced
by any power on earth other than
to serve the best interests of the
people of his district and the terri-
tory. He served for a number of
yean as sheriff of Lincoln county,
Kansas, and in that capacity he
faced many of the difficulties which
face a state, hence the experience
gained in an official capacity would
be a great benefit to him as a mem-
ber of this body. He is a veteran
of the Civil War having served his
country faithfully daring the great
strife for the preservation of the
union. He is a man of ability who
has the courage of his convictions
and we believe the republicans of
this district oould do no better than
nominate H. B. Vennum for the
constitutional convention. His
nomination is equal to an election-
It is plain to be seen that if the
people desire the officers of the new
state to be the best they will have
to take a hand and relegate a few of
the professional politicians and
ward heelers to the rear. Constitu-
tional delegates selected from among
the people will frame a good consti-
tution; a lot of politicians never
will. It is up to the people-
The News is upd?r no obligations

Orval Frantx, the governor's pri
vate secretary is good at upholding
the dignity of the territory. Last
Saturday the governor went to the
Indian Territory to deliver an ad-
dress, Secretary Filson and Judge
Burford went to McAlester to meet
with the districting board, and Or-
val Frantx was in charge of the ter-
ritorial offices. How faithful he
was to the trust may be seen in the
fact that he so far forgot himself
as to let his brute strength get the
best of him r -id he mixed with a
newspaper correspondent in a fist
fight, afterwards plead guitly and
paid a fine. The attack was made
byF rants. The article which Mr-
Frantx resented was in regard to
the governor and did not refer to
his private secretary- When a man,

brother farmer, how do you like
that? In plain wurtk it was mefcnt
that the farmer was an ignoramus
and not capable of making a con-
stitution. In our opinion the re-
verse is true. The politician will be
a mighty poor stick to send to the
constitutional convention- We be-
lieve that the best men in all the
parties should be made the candid-
ates for this convention- Now
word as to what we would call the
best man- First he be should a man
of good education, a public spirited
man, a man whose morals are un
questioned, a man who has execu-
tive ability and one who understands
the rules of usage well enough to
know just where he is at all tht
time and just where the other fel-
lows are at, and above all a man
with good common horse sense
Such men are plentiful, and they
are found among the farmers as
well as in town-
We understand that the district'
ing board who have the work of
forming the constitutional delegate
districts, have decided as to King-
fisher county and that we will only
be allowed one delegate. According
to this arrangement the south tier of
counties will be annexed to another
district. We also understand that
this was done for the benefit of
prospective candidate. Oh, Lord
how long will such rottenness con-
tinue? Later in the campaign the
people will perhaps desire to know
who is responsible for this condition

This is as it should be as the nom-

There are times to speak, and
times to keep still- There are sub-

those that are not worth discussing.

ROBBERTS WITHDRAWS
It seems that the' factions of the
republican party have reached a
reconciliation and are now lining
up for a great republican victory in
the new state. No matter what
differences may exist in the ranks
of ths republican party its members
are men enough to get together
when tht voting time arrive and in-
sure party success. After all the
differences which exist in the part-
ies are a clensing element which act
for the betterment of the party at
large.
