inent farmer who waS In town Satur-

that day to attend. It is my intention

to the polls Practically every voter
in my community is or Haskell and
the constitution and I'm going to see
that every man votes.
"I understand that the governor
sent out a thousand of those beau-U
tiiul certificates which no doubt
the territory paid for. They were
idently intended for campaign liter
ature but as far as I'm concerned
that sort of soft soap doesn't go w.lh
me. We need statehood more than
anything else just now and we farm-
ers need juot the kind of a constitu-

We are for the constitution and the

TWO f'CEE CANDIDATE KAMED
Goettiog Nominated for County Weigher
And Kreitz for Coroner
The democratic county convention
convened Saturday afternoon at the
city hall. Committeeman A. L. Herr
called the meeting to order and he
stated that the purpose of ti.e con
vention was to nominate a candidate
for county coroner and county weigh-
ed. A. L. Herr was elected chairman
and II. J. M'Her secretary.
II. R. Kreitz was nominated for cor-
oner and C. C. Goetting of Shirley
township for weigher. Both nomina-
tions were made by acclamation no
other names being placed before the
convention.

of the administration with the local
affairs of O'iahoma is resented by the
people of the state who think they
are better qualified to know their con-
dition and needs and to judge the con-
stitution made to suit their conditions
than a man who comes from Washing-
ton to discus matter to which he
has given only slight attention..
Democrats are very well pleased
with the Taft meeting anil are confi-
