My First Impressions
of Dover and Its
First Impressions of Me
Five years ago this fall the writer
attended a "hogs in the corn" dance
in Arkansaw—just below Mena, where
the rocks are lied to the ground a I
the dogs bark at strangers. There
was also present a red-headed girl
troni Hennessey, Oklahoma, who was
visiting lier uncle, who, by the way,
owned one of the whitest horses that
ever came down the pike. During tlie
course the evening this young lady
made a sort of a sneering reference to
a town called Dover, Oklahoma, and
from the way she spoke we became
thoroughly Imbued with the Idea tli;it
the said Dover was little more than a
narrow place in a wide road.
In factsoutterly convinced wore we
that a few mouths later, white stop-
ping in a Missouri town, when a shoe
drummer remarked in our hearing
that, in his opinion, Dover was one of
the best towns of its size in Oklahoma,
we called hint down gcod and hard.
He offered to bet the cigars he was
right, about it and only for the well-re
membered advice of our maternal
grandfather, cautioning us never to
bet 011 another man's game, we would
have taken him up. Luckily we recol-
lected this advice in time or that
drummer would sure have smoked off
us, and it's even money he'd have in-
sisted on a ten-center, at that! And
all on account ol that girl from Hen-
nessey. Ked-bcaded ones are convinc-
ing, you know.
A week ago last Sunday we arrived
in Dover and had'nt been here a half-
hour till we could see that the girl
from Hennessey had simply been get-
ting rid of spiteful talk rather than
stating facts. Instead of a cross roads
town, consisting of a blacksmith shop,
three hound dogs and a mud puddle,
we found a neat little city, with cem-
ent walks, handsome residences, big,
busy-looking stores, its streets well
lined with beautiful shade trees.
Here and there were groups of resi-
dents enjoying the cool of the Sabbath
evening, while softly upon the ear fell
the sweet chimes of church bells, call-
ing Retitly, urging attendance upon
spiritual matters. Strolling idly along
the well-kept walks were handsome
couples, intent only upon themselves—
youth in its happiest mood.
Glancing toward a cool-looking spot,
we saw a group of gentlemen sitting
on tlie porch of the Oover hotel, and
decided to join them. We had just
put in a rather strenuous week at
"pitching" in a thrashing outlit.vand
our personal appearance was anything
but prepossessing, yet, instead of
treating us like a tramp or a hobo the
gentlemen made room foj us, greeted
us kindly, proffered a chair and in a
few moments were made to feel per-
fectly at home. It is just this kind
of treatment, my reader, that Is most
satisfactory to "the stranger within
your gates," and does more to estab-
lish an entente cordiale than any oth-
er one thing.
No, tlie red-headed girl was wrong.
Dover is a good town—a hustling, up
todatetown, and that shoe drummer
knew just what he was talking about.
Dover has, among other enterprises,
a fine mill and elevator, three general
stores, two grocery stores, a hard-
ware s'ore, drug store, millinery store,
harness shop, barber shop, hotel, res-
taurant, lumber yard, - livery barns,
meat market, newspaper, one of tlie
soundest of country banks, a real es-
tate man, two physicians, etc., etc.
Its society is of the very highest
class, its churches are fairly well at-
tended, it has good schools, no dives,
or "blind tigers," and, taking it all
around, it is a good place to make
one's home. It claims to have more
pretty girls to the square yard than
any other town of its size in the state,
and from those we have seen the claim
is a sound one.
These are my first impressions of
Dover. As to its first impressions of
me, on sober, second thought, I have
decided not to record them.

Choosing a Congressman
Never before have the intelligent
voters of the whole tountry been more
anxious to exercise judgment and dis-
cretion in choosing uien to represent
them in congress.
Never before have the voters of this
state more fully realized the iiii|K>rt
janceof national issues. It has dawned
J upon them that while trying to save
' their resourcesat the spigot, the eouu-
ty treasury, a torrent has been pour-
ing from the bung, the national treas-
ury. They are appalled at the enor-
| in it y of the tax levied upon tlie things
| they consume, a fraction of which goes
I into l tie national tieasiiry but tlie
j bulk of which goes to swell the al-
i r.'ady colossal fortunes of the favored
"protected" trust builders.
Men who cannot be frightened or
bribed are demanded as congressmen
to deal with this problem.
Men with records; men who have
stood for the l ight, for the downward
revision of the tariff for years are the
only ones to be trusted in the great
battle now being waged against the
special privileges.
Sucb a man is J, B. A. Robertson,
now a candidate for coiigressman-at
larue.
"Jim" Robertson has not remained
quiet and inactive for twenty years
and suddenly discovered that he is a
"progressive" and that nothing but a
progressive treatment will cure the
ills ailliotiiig our politics.
Judge Kobertson is a progressive
because lie has helped make progres-
sion. 11 is last twenty years have not.
been spent as a Ulp VanWinkle, but
as an agitator of progressive ideas.
The initiative and referendum, first
adopted by Oregon and Oklahoma,
and soon to become a part of every
state constitution, was advocated and
agitated by Judge Kobertson years
before its adoption by any state.
The election of United States sena-
tors by a direct voteot tlie people was
a progressive plank in his platform
twenty yei'.rs ago when as a plain far-
mer he attended the democratic con-
vention in this county.
Long before "progression" became
popular; when many of its now de-
voted worshipers were anxious to
modify their democracy by preferring
the word "conservatlvjB," Judge Kob-
ertson, as a rising young la.vyer, was
expounding the doctrine then known
as "radical," but now callud "progres-
sive."
Why not choose a man of this kind
to represent us in congress and to put
in force ideas which lie helped to pop-
ularize? He would be no experiment,
lie would require no prompting. The
work would to him be but the realizi-
tion of a cherished dream.
A twenty years' record is a pretty
good balance wheel to insure momen-
tum sufficient to move the progressive
machine past the dead center.
Tbe whole life of Judge Robertson
has been spent in furthering his cher-
ished and now popular ideas of govern-
ment, rather than in the accumula-
tion of money, hence he comes before
the people as a poor man with no re-
sources save the salary lie earns from
month to month, and lack of funds is
serious handicap to any campaign.
But what Judge Robertson lacks in
funds is made up by the thousands of
friends his unselfish efforts in behalf
of progression have brought to his
standard. Newspapers are vying with
each other to say nice tilings in his
behalf and broadminded statesmen in
every part of the state are telling the
work he has done; of his capabilities
for the job and his availability as a
candidate, and asking their friends to
support him.
Poor people all over the state, real-
izing that hi him they have a symp-
athizer and friend, are rushing to his
support, and his nomination is con-
ceded by most of those In a position
to prophesy.—Chandler Clipper.
Mr. Mitchell's Speech
When George W. Mitchell, of
Kingfisher, was called upon for a
speech on the Fourth, the Fates
were against him, in a way-
The crowd had listened to the
serious and then were treated to a
number that was the exact opposite
and then Mr. Mitchell was intro-
duced. Ten minutes sooner the
crowd would have given him a hear-
ing, at that time they would not
have listened to any one, hence we
give a brief review of his remarks:
He began by calling attention to
the Roy V. Cashion monument,
paying a fitting tribute to the brav-
ery of the young soldier and to the
patriotism of the citizens of Hennes-
sey as evidenced by this beautiful
monument.
Mr. Mitchell reviewed the advance

The BANK of DOVER
Dover, Okla.
in business, science and Christianity
of our country since the discovery
by Columbus, down through the
Revolution and civil wars and their
effect in our history, reviewed the
many wonderful inventions of this
agt, mentioning the Titanic as the
largest vessel ever built and used
the disaster to illustrate the ad-
vancement of the Christian religion
and an evidence of American hero-
Urn .
The story of America from her
infancy, from the wooden mould-
board plows to the triple-gang of
steel; from the tiiue of meager edu-
cational advantages to the present
time when we enjoy the highest
type of advanced civilization makes
a wonderful story and one that Mr.
Mitchell could tell with interest if
given time and a hearing.
In to-day's issue of the News
you will And the announcement of
G. W. Mitchell for County Judge.
Mr. Mitchell two years ago made
a clean, manly campaign for the
office of County Judge of Kingfisher
county which won for liiui the ad-
miration, confidence and respect of
the people all over the county, re-
sulting in a great vote, almost vic-
torious, defeated by only eight
votes. Not daunted by his defeat,
he worked enthusiastically for the
nominees of his party which result-
ed in tlie election of the entire
ticket.
Mr. Mitchell's ability to fill the
ollice of county judge has never
bet,n questioned. He supports three
diplomas from the supreme courts
