THE STATE CONVENTION
The democratic state conven-
tion which meets this morning
in Oklahoma City promises to
be a lively one, especially iu the
election of a national commit-
teeman. Galbraith and Brady
of Tulsa, John B. Boolin of
Alva and Gillam of Ardmore
are the candidates for the nation
alcommitteeman. Doolin is the
state game warden and Gov.
Cruce's candidate. According
to the Oklahoman Galbraith
has the lead in instructed votes,
but not enough of such votes
to elect him. With the uresid
ental candidates the Oklahoman
reported Wednesday morning
that Woodrow Wilson has302i
votes and Champ Clark has
2(59$. If this reported claims is
correct it gives Wilson a clear
majority of 32convention votes,
While the Clark forces were
valid most of that time
He was a consistent member
of the Methodist church and
was always in his pew until
failing strength prevented his
presence.
The funeral services were
held at the residence on Satur-
day morning, conducted by
Rev. J. F. Robert, after which
the remains were taken to Ter-
rell, Texas for interment.
Besides his wife, whose tender
ness and watchful care was the
solace of his declining years,
the diceased left four devoted
children: Mrs W. W. Rice and
Mr. Lee Perry, of this city, and
M. W. and C. C. Perry, who
are prominent merchants of
Lindsay.
making big claims up to the
last report it would seem that
Wilson forces have the best of
it. As some of the ClarK lead-
ers were trying to compromise
by an agreement to divide the
Oklahoma vote between Clark
and Wilson which the Wilson
leaders refused.
CHILD BURNED TO DEATH
The residence of postmaster
Dickerson at Purcell was des-
troyed by fire Tuesday. Mrs
Dickerson was at the postoffice
with her husband, three child-
ren, from 3 to 7 years of age
French maid.
Mrs. Grant. Mr. Simpson and
Mrs. Lee have had quite a little
experience in theatrical work and
it was said by some members of
the Dorothy Reeves Co., that
they were already far ahead of
the average stock companies that
are seen in the small towns.

second race in 1910, and elected,
and with efficient service to his
credit for the short time he has
been in office, he asks the demo-
crats of the county to give him
a fair consideration.
FOR COUNTY CLERK
Albert Plaster, the genial Coun-
ty Clerk who stays in his office
at all times and attends to busi-
ness in a pleasant way, is a can-
didate for re-election, subject to
the democratic primary to be
held August 6th.
Mr. Plaster was nominated on
the democratic ticket and elected
County Clerk in 1910, and has
served little over a year. There
is not a more splendid young
man in the county than Mr.
Plaster. He is a quiet, unas-
suming man who does not make
much fuss but thoroughly under-
stands the business and duties of
his office, knows how to do the
work and always gets there.
Mr. Plaster is a true democrat
who never fails to answer when
his name is called for party ser-
vices. He is a successful busi-
ness m a n, upright in all
highest moral
county, and one that requires a
clear, level headed business
man to fill, and Mr. Miler
belongs to that class of men.
He is a man who is personal-
ly interested in an economical
administration of the county s
affairs. He has been a farmer
all his life, and a successful one
too. He has demonstrated that
he is capable of successfully con-
ducting his own business, which
is about the best evidence of a
man's ability to properly attend
to the countys business matters.
By his own industry, economy
and business judgment he has
amassed enough of worldy goods
to be owner of several hundred
acres of fine land in this county.
Mr. Miler has lived in this state
some twelve or fourteen years,
coming from Missouri to Okla-
homa County where he lived un-
til about three years ago when
he bought the farm south of
this city on which he has since
lived.
