FOB GOVERNOR.
J. B. A. ROBERTSON.
THE RIGHT MAN AT
THE RIGHT TIME
The announcement of Judge J. B. A.
Robertson as a candidate for Governor
on the Bemoeratie ticket comes at the
right time by the right man..
The people of Oklahoma have their
minds well fixed on who is to be the
next Governor. One thing and another
has caused their conclusions. In the
last campaign Robertson came within
a few hundred votes of being the nom-
iaee; in fact, the race was so close
it took several days to definitely de-
termine who the winner wus. When
the returns all came in and it showed—
right or wrong—the other fellow wae
the winner, Judge Robertson said to
the campaign committee, “I urn at
your service.” This is what he should
have done. But, do you know it is
come limes hard to do just what you
should dot And do you know that was
the very thing that kept John Fields
from being the Governor of Oklahomaf
This is one of the reasons why so ]
many people say this is the time to
make Judge Robertson Governor of this
State.
There are others who ure ambitious
to be Governor. Home very good men,
but their ambition is running away
with their judgment. They are looking
through purely selfish glasses. This is
not the:- time. Judge Robertson show-
ed himself to be a full-grown man in
ita full sense when he said: ‘‘Here 1
am, send me.” There is nothing that
could have been said by any one that
sounded so pleasing to the committee
as that.
Talk about beating a man who hus
met defeat with a smile, and who has j
then turned and saved the matt who
defeated him, front defeat. It can’t be
Hone, boys.
This is not your time. Your time
aiav conte if you conduct yourself right,
but by making false and unkind state
nients about Judge Robertson, a man ■
who is loved and admired by so many
people all over this state, conduct of
this sort will never make gubernatorial
timber out of you. That shows lack
of manhood and good judgment.
It seems too bad that men who
havn't a ghost of a show to be nomi-
nated will push themselves into this
race. Of course, they have that priv-
ilege just like the train robber last cl
eetion, who made more fuss and who
said more mean things about his op-
ponent than any one, and received quite
a sprinkling of votes. There is an el-
ement who* like the foul-mouth indi-
vidual who is ready to slander any and
everybody, if it takes that to win, but
the last campaign of slander has caus-
ed people to think and the man who
starts out with that sort of stuff as___
his stock in trade to win votes with, 1 (n„t publi8hed J.„. 25tli, J$* 1H.—T.t.)
will be sadly left this time. The vot state of Oklahoma, Pottawatomie
era of Oklahoma are tired of mud j County, ss.
money something essential for war pre-
paration. W« are now discovering that
there is not linen enough tn the world
to cover the aeroplaues that the allies
aro producing. The English govern-
ment has just decided that at least 10,-
| tNN) acres of English soil must lie dc
l voted to the production of flax, instead
I of food. That government Is making
| term with the farmers, wbieb will lead
(to the planting of that crop.
The illustrations are olilUl of the
j fact that there are not labor and
materials enough to produce thu things
that the people want and the things
that the government wants. There are I
two ways of helping solve the problem
One ts to speed up production and in-
dustry. The other is to cut down un
necessary consumption. By the latter
method every ouo ean put himself in
an effective way in a front trench.
Every one ran make sacrifices that will
be reflected in a quicker and better
equipment of armies. The progress that
i-an be made by speeding up production
ean be exceeded manyfold by the ef
feet which can be produced by a whole
nation making tip its mind really to
| help win the war. The difficulties of
I equipping the army would be exsilv
cut iu half if every individual in this
country would recognize his responsi-
bility in helping to equip the army, his
j responsibility to get on without de-
| mauding new things he ran get along
without, and by so doing leave a great-
er amount of labor and material tn pro-
duce the things the government must
have.
Every yard of linen that is bought
from today on puts the buyer in di-
rect competition with the Aeroplane
Board in equipping the fleet of aero-
planes which we hope to put over tho
Oerman lines. That should be very
plain to every one when it is kuown
that the need of linen for aeroplane
production exceeds the total stock there
is in the world. But the same rule ap-
plies in almost every direction that we
turn.
There cam be only two reasons why
men should not see in their personal
expenditure their individual responsi-
bility for equipping the army. One is
a belief that a fully equipped Ameri-
can army is not going to be necessary;
that the war either will be won by our
allies, or it has already been won by
the exhaustion of our enemies. The
other reason must be that the people
believe that there are labor and mu
terials enough to produee everything
that they want for their individual
uses and everything that the govern-
ment must have. Absolute blindness to
what the to.-l is when you add two
and two is the only excuse there ean
be for believiug there are labor and
material enough for the individual com-
forts and military needs of the country.
The man who is not prepared to econo-
mize to-day either believes there is no
necessity for military preparedness or
he will not look in the face the plainest
facts in regard to industrial capacity.
The government has provided the easi-
est possible road for the individual
to turn his personal sacrifice into pa-
triotic aid—save and buy War Savings
Stamps.
