VOL. XXI.
HENNESSEY, KINGFISHER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, JUNE 2, igio.
For Sheriff.
In todays issue of the Clh'pkk
we announce the name of Clyde
Smith as a candidate for the of-
fice of sheriff of Kingfisher coun-
ty, subject to the decesion of the
Republican voters at the primary
election to be held August 2nd,
1910.
Mr. Smith comes before the
public as a young man who ha-*
always taken a keen interest in
the election of good men to the
offices of this country—men
whom he thought would uphold
the law and order at all times;
and while he has never enter-
tained the idea of running for
public ollice, as he has never de-
sired the publicity incident to
a campaign, and it is only at the
very urgent request of his
friends, those who believe in the
strict enforcement of the law,
the class of people who are striv
ing to make the people better and
law abiding, that he has decided
to enter the contest.
Mr. Smith was born in Nebras
tirst worked for the Kingfisher
Mill & Elevator Co., as bookkeep
er for four years, and later as
manager for four years of the
Burrus Mill & Elevator Co., hav-
ing served both firms witli cred-
it.
Mr. Smith is 3(5 years of age,
is honest and fair to all, and is
capable of maKing Kingfisher
county a good sheriff. He has
good clerical ability and a good
knowledge of the affairs of the
county, and by his long resi-
dence here is well known to the
voters. He believes in the strict
enforcement of the laws of the
state and county and upon the
above basis believes he merits
the nomination and submits his
name to the Republican voters at
the August 2nd primary.

The Hennessey Sluggers shut
out the Enid Alton team at
Sportsman Park last Sunday af-
ternoon in a well played game by
a score of 4 to 0. The game was
Hennessey's from start to finish,
the Sluggers only allowing the
visitors to reach third base two
times. The locals piled up three
scores in the first inning by a
combination of hits and errors
and Sutton made the fourth
score in the fourtli inning by
gaining tirst on an error, steal-
ing second and third and coming
home on an overthrow by Merry
to third. Liston pitched in or-
der to save Shoop's arm for the
Medford game and done remark
ably well, giving the Alton Goods

Guthrie, Ok., Juno 2—A lie-
publican state convention liUs
been called by chairman James
A Harris of the state central
committee, for Thursday, June
16th, for the purpose of building
a grass root platform on which
the campaign may be made for
the election of the full state tick-
et this fall. Because of the fact,
too, that the democrats have re-
pealed all laws which gave par-
ty organizations a legal exist
ence, it becomes necessary at
this time to select a new state
committee, new county and pre
cinct committeemen and to com-
pletely rebuild the state organi
zatibn, including even the elec-
tion of a state chairman.
This fact has been known to
Chairman Harris for some time
and he has decided to leave the
entire selection of organizations
members and officers to the rank
and file of the republican party
in this state. The delegates elect-
ed by the republicans of the
various counties will not only
draw the platform, but will elect
the state chairman of the party
as well and decide all the import-
ant questions that are now con
fronting the party, the solution
of which it is confidently believ-
ed will bring party success at
the polls.
When {otherwise provided by
local organizations precinct
meetings are hereby called to
con.'eoe at the usual voting plac
es on June 11, 1U10, at one
o'clock P. M., to elect delegates

lect a member of the County I
Central committee, and for the
purpose of organizing a Kepub-]
I lican Precinct Club and electing
officers thereof, where such
Club has not heretofore been
organized.
When not otherwise provided
by the local organization Dele-
gate County Conventions are
hereby called to convene in the
respective county seats on Juno
13, 1910, at one o'clock p. m. for
the purpose of confirming the
election of the Precinct Commit-
teeman from each Precinct as a
member of the County Central
Committee and to elect a chair-
man of said Committee, and for
the election of delegates to rep-
resent said County in the State
Convention, and the selection of
one member of the Republican
State Central Committee and f< r
the purpose of organizing a Re-
publican County Club and the
election of competent officers
thereof.
The representation in each
County Convention to be one

fraction thereof, cast in the Pre-
cinct for the Republican Presi
