THE LEXINGTON LEADER
A
VOLUME 25
LEXINGTON. CLEVELAND COUNTY. OKLAHOMA. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 25 1916
NUMBER 21
CEO. G. BURKE
A CANDIDATE
Announces in The Leader This
Week For the Office of
County Judge
In this issue of the Leader appears
the announcement of Geo. C. Burke
of Lexington as a democratic candi-
date for nomination as county judge.
Mr. Burke has lived in Cleveland
county for some twenty-five years
and has been actively engaged in the
practice of law here for over 6 years.
His success in the legal profession
and standing as a lawyer in this and
adjoining counties, his ability and
the large practice he has enjoyed,
have demonstrated that he is emi-
nently qualified in every way to
serve the people as county judge of
this county. Mr. Burke has been a
lifeldng Democrat and has always
taken an active interest in the fur-
therance of Democracy in every cam-
paign. This is the first time he has
ever aspired to public office, and he
tells us that he has no axe to g,rind,
but will make a clean, straight for-
ward campaign upon his own merits
and qualifications, and not upon any
shortcomings of his opponent or op-
ponents, whoever they may be. We
feel certain that the voters of this
county cannot cast their ballots for
a more able, competent and qualified
man for the office of county judge,
than Mr. Burke, and that the Demo-
cratic party of this county will make

Jim Corbett is a product of Cleve-
land county. He was born on a
farm near Corbett, where he work-
ed on the farm yid attended the
rural school during the winter
months.
Five years ago lie went to Oklaho-
ma ( ily, where hP took a business
course, graduating in both short-
hand and bookkeeping, working his
way through the school.
He is an accommodating and effi-
cient deputy county treasurer, and
has been connected with the office
since July, 191H. He is a thorough-
ly qualified with every detail of the
office, and if nominated and elected
he will not have to learn the duties
of the office.
Jim Corbett is well known
throughout the county, and is a
most popular young man, a t.rue and
faithful democrat.
Taking into consideration his
ability to till the office, being an
expert bookkeeper and accountant,
honest, moral and upright christian
gentleman, and having been a most
faithful deputy for nearly three
years, being young and Progressive,
we have no hesitancy in recom-
mending him to you as a worthy
young man, who if nominated and
elected county treasurer of Cleve-
land county, he will in every way
make good.
Carefully consider his claims be-
fore casting your ballot at the pri-
mary, August 1st.
OVER*'O.MI.XG MALARIA
it is estimated by the United
States Health Service that four per
cent of the inhabitants of certain
sections of the south have malaria.
This statement was based upon 204,-
881 cases reported in 1914. The in-
fection rate among white persons
was about eight per cent and among
colored persons twenty per cent,
in two lunatics i„ be Fasoo valley,
forty out of every one hundred in-
habitants presented evidences of the
disease. Patient investigation of
mala,rial conditions has impressed
Government Health officials with the
•lief that mosquitos i„ the latitude
of the Southern states ordinarily do
not carry infection through the win-
ter, infected mosquitos, rarely being
found before Alay 15th* This dis-
covery is strengthening the belief
that it is possible to decrease not
only the prevalency of malaria itself,
but to relieve the public of the ener-
vating effects of this disease, by
treating human carriers of malaria
with kuinine previous to the middle
of Alay, thus preventing any infec-
tion from chronic suffers reaching
mosquitoes and bein gtransmitter by
them to other persons Quinine is a
specific for.niala.ria, and* its intelli-
gent use in malarial sections of ST)k-
lahoma would tend rapidly to
stamp out the disease.
