It had been deel 'ed In aP c;cs of
contests to sent all delegates from con-
tested points giving nil one-ualf vote
each.
. Tin convention was called to order
shortly after '2 o'clock by Stale Chair-
man Charles E. Hunter At the time
of the opening of tiie convention the
big auditorium win crowded ever)
tvallable space being taken by the ilel
egates and tho large number of visitors.
The Rev W II. B. Urch. junior "f
the First Methodist church deliveied
the invocation which was followed by
an address of welcome by Mayor Henrv
M Scales of Oklahoma City.
Former State Superintendent of Pub-
lic Instruction J. E. Dyehe was intro-
duced ns temporary chairman. He ad-
dressed the delegates nnd concluded by
naming committees on resolutions cre-
dentials and permanent organizations
and rules of order of business
Display of Patriotism. One of the
uinrKcil features of the convention was
the tremendous display of patriotism
and the conspicuous1 place given to the
old soldiers. On the stage s"t eleven
grizzled veterans who had eiiit their
initial vote for John C. Freemont for
nresidentj nnd arrayed around tho cen-
ter were O'J veterans who hnd voted for
Abraham Lincoln.
The convention was harmonious in
every detail nnd all of the leaders pre-
dict that it has arrayed a battle spirit
that will win the state in the coming
election.
Each time the nninu of William 11.
Tuft was mentioned it was like striking
a match to a magazine of fire and the
convention would nrlse ns one man and
cheer so long and loud that it seemed
there would be no stop.
The only mark of discord during the
convention was when II E. P. Stanford
of Okmulgee introduced a resolution
to the effect that the republican party
if victorious it would resubmit the liq-
uor question to th- voters of the state
at n special election.
The resolution was howled iLwn by
hundreds of delegates who were trying
to get the tloor to table the resolution
Endorsement of Taft When thu
resolution was read and the cln"Sf re-
lnlng to the endorcement of Tnfi was
renehed wherein it stilted that the en-
ilorxcment was n it in the b -lie-it 'if in-
dividuals seeking preferment there was
a pandemonium burst of applause which
lusted scTi'ral moments.
In the speeches and in the M'lillmetit
of the entire convention the fact was to
be n teU thai the republicans of the
new state woulo make a campaign with
a formidable issue of taxation and reck
less expenditures of the legislature.
J E Dyche of Lawton was named
temporary chairman of the convention
defeating B Kirkpitrick of Prior
Creek.
II. G. House of Marietta and L. A.
Donahue of Okeuiah were elected sec-
retaries. Tho convention convened at 2 o'clock
in the convention hall
An eloquent nddresnof welcome wis
doliver-'d by M.iyor Henry SmIih mil
responded to by C. B. Rodgors of
Vlnitn.
Sad Death at Riverside .

been brought to our attention was that
of Mrs. Lane who resided with her
husband and faini'y on the Broadfoot
farm near Riverside hnd which ne-
cnrre.d Monday of this week pneu-
monia nnd childbirth being the cause
of the demise.
Mrs. Lane was born in Stockholm
Sweden lb tho year 1878. She came to
America when n mere child. She w.is
married and resided at Wichita. Kan-
sas unti' six mouths ago when she re-
moved t" Beaver County and located

quired. Funeral services were conducted
Tuesday at the homo by Rev. Leonard

lows' order of which thu bereaved him-
bund was a loyal member.

ratuer wlio lias such a tiurucn to bear
in giving up a loving wifj and in thu
care of his four motherless children.

CLYDE MAPLE DEAD
Well Known Young Alan and
Sheriff of Beaver County
.succumbs to ..avages
of Pneumonia.
A Strong oung Ainu Wrestles With
lhc(lriui Reaper for two Weeks
Against Awful t:nemles of
The Flesh.
Clyde Maple is dead. '
.The sheriff of Reaver Cotinty is no
hiore. Thul strong young man of two
wcttss ug i has been stricken down in
the blo.nu of his manhood.
Sheriff Clyde Maple has screed his
Pl papers on earth and has "one to
answer a summon to n Higher Court.
Can it b p ssible that Clyde Maple
Is dead?
Surely not I
Only two weeks ago we saw him
going about his daily duties but they
tell us hu is dead and It must be so.
Those ad faces of his relatives nnd
friends tell the story which we would
so gladly never hear.
Yes hu is gone. We rhull never see
his oncc-inmilinr face egalu.
Ills death has brought a bitter cop
of sorrow to the lips of relatives and
friends. His was a heart of gold lie
was one of nature's noblemen in its
truest sense brave generous maul .
Ills was the soul of honor and hL
friends and friendships wuru s"cred to
lii in.
WIni ever heard of Clyde Maple do-
ing that wnich was n .t liouortiulu and
upright!
Hu was loyal to his duties his moth-
er and his sisters and brothers. A
man every inch of Ins big strong man-
ly stature honest In all his dealings
fair-minded and cuiircinus of thu rigulx
of others tho pillar of the liumu of his
widowed mother ndoied anil cherished
oy iter the axis around which nil the
love and devotion of fond sisters and
brothers revolved and an upright and
valuable citizen held in highest esieum
by a legion of friends iijrth south
east anil west
Two weeks previous almost to the
hour of his dea h this young man was
Bt'riciiMi with a severe nttuok-mens-
les His coil itinii was' uhiruiing fro.u
tiic rat but he fought bravely the rav-
ages ol measles inllamiunliou of the
siomacii uiiiiu lever pneumonia and
neuralgia of thu heart each lightening
me gr.ifp of the shackles of death mure
clorcly about him Until iiuuiuii
urciiglh was ex. must d and thu end
i-.uiiu pe.ici lUllj anil quietly
All luu care and love that skilhil
phjsiciaus nurse and anxious relatives
eiiuhl dovifo and apply for his eomluri
nun iirsiriauce were not scared and al-
though for eight days before his pass-
ing away his ca-o was declared hupe-
l".ss never oncu d'd thoc in attend-
ance cease in t'u'lr labors to prolong
the life they were o unwilling to let
go. Sueh careful and constant care
was never excelled but II to no avail.
Wo do not know we cnunot under-
stand why one so young nnd for whom
the world seemed to hold so much
shouid be so rudely snatched away
but God's way is not our way and to
His will we nil mil' t bow knowing that
He doeth all things well.
Clyde Maple was born in Missouri
tweniy-lhreu years ago. When a babe
of eighteen mouths his parents remov-
ed to this county and here hu grow to
manhood and received his early educa-
tion ofterwnid taking a businces courro
at Sal ina. Kansas lie grew up In the
hearts of his friends nnd a the solemn
procession passed his bier and looked
for the last lime upon the face of the
departed those who knew him bet
had only thoughts of the honorable
life he had led from boyhood Lust
fall he made the ra'c for sherilf' of
Beavjr Courty on the democratic tiok-
ei nnd tho large m.joriiy he received
allested to thu high regard in which he
was held. He entered on the duties of
his olllco last November and during
Ills short service proved himself a care
ful (earless and elllclent olllclal.
The gathering which nttetded the
hist sad rites of our fellow-townsman
was one of the largest a..d saddest that
has been known in thu city. Friends
came from miles around to pay their
'nst trlbutu of rospeot. Funeral ser-
vices were conducted at the Presby-
turian church by Rev. Leonard. Bur-
in I services were In charge of tho Ma
sonic and Knights of I'j thins orders
of which hu was an honored member..
Interment was made in thu Beaver
I cemetery
To the bereaved mother sisters and
other rolativa we olfer our sincere
I sympathy and in this wo aru Joined by
all. Life will never be thu same to
those who knew him while those who
woro near to him will long for him
with unutterable longings. It is bad
to give up one whose Inlluence nmnnj
men would doubtless hnvo been foi
goo I. Yet He who doeth all thingf
well makes no mlst.kcs.
Of every ten that sorrowing mortal-
shed on such green graves some good
Is born some gentler nnture conies.
A Flattering Success.
The musical entertainment "Jeph-
thah and his Daughter" given nt the
court house Friday of last week for the
bencllt of thu M. E. chore i was one of
the most successful and pleasing enter-
tainments that lias been rendered in
Beaver for many years. .
A crowd til house listened attentive!
and were more than pleased witli the
manner in which they were entertain-
ed. Such an allnlr as this was and
given in such an able manner ecrtaiiil
speaks well for the home talent r
Beaver. We shall expect more from
them In thu future along the same line

at this point was completed this week
and Is now ready for use. Tho con-
struction company completed their
wo'k lust week and thu approaches

vision of 'Chief" Garrett and thus the
much talked-of-bridgo is now a reality.
The bridge I neat in appearance and
durable nnd altogether seems to bo a
very good piece of work nnd one which
will stand the Hoods of thu Bcnier
successfully.
