ROY HOFFMAN,
For the United States senate from
the Oklahoma side of tho State, sub-
ject to t ho decision of the Democratic
primaries on June 8th, 1907.
M. L. Turner The Man For U. S Senate.
Communicated.
At, a timo like this in the formation I
of a hew state, a situation is develop- j
od which occurs but once in the life of:
a commonwealth. That situation is
the starting off of the new state in tho
most auspicious manner, and which
has a bearing on all future develop-
ments within the state itself. It is i
especially important therefore, at this
time, that care should bo used in se-
curing, candidates for ottloos of all
kinds, particularly legislative,and this
care should begin with U. S. senator-
ial candidates and extend down the
line.
It is of vast importance not only for
the present hut future welfare of Ok-
lahoma as a state, that men ho sent to
the senate and house of congress
who can achieve the most and host
results which will he of lasting bene-
lit to the people of the state. There
will he time enough in tho hereafter
for tho development of orators to rep-
resent Oklahoma in tho halls of con-
gress, hut what is most needed now is |
active, energetic workers who can gel
results certainly and quickly. One of
the most important matters to bo at-
tended to in congress is settlement ot
the land questio 1 on Indian Territory
side of ttie state, including removal of
restrictions. Upon this depends the
development of half the state and the
other half is proportionately affected.
This is of tremendsus importance, and
so overshadows any immediate inter-
est that minor questions ara entirely
lost sight of by those who give intelli-
gent study to tho situation.
in the list of condidates for senate
and congress, tho Democratic voters
at the primaries should lay asido ov-
ery other consideration .uidc from
that of unstained Democracy, for tho
one result of placing men in tho sen-
ate and house who oan accomplish
those most necessary results for the
state at ttiis most important epoch in
its history. In lino with this, a lead-
ing newspaper on tho-east side has
published tho following pointed ar-
ticle:
‘'The position taken by Hon. M, L.
Turner upon removal of restrictions,
taken with ids reputation for doing
.tilings, is making him a great many
votes on the Indian Territory side.
There are a great many people in this
part of the new state who boliovo that
above all things, tho immediate re-
moval of restrictions is most necess-
ary, and since the common under-
standing is to select a senator from
each side of the state a growing con-
fidence lias arisen in the ability of
Mr. Turner as a candidate from the
West side who fully understands con-
ditions m Indian Territory and ought
to be able to relieve them if sent to
the senate. Mr. Turner’s campaign
has been clean and conducted witll
the energy of which lie is capable.
It is no disparagement toother can-
didates to say that ho is extremely
popular on the East side and that his
views meet with approval.”
Thrasher Gaining Strength.
fn presenting the claims of II. D.
Thrasher for sheriff of Pittsburg Coun-
ty we desire to say that he has always
been a prime mover in holding up and
furthering Democratic principles. Ho
is chairman ot the Democratic Club at
Crowder. He is just in the prime of
life, and would till the office he aspires
to with dignity and would not suffer
tho interests of the county to trail in
the dust. Mr. Thrasher is thoroughly
conversant with the duties of the
offic , having served a number of
years as city marshal and as a U. 8.
deputy marshal. If elected tho law
breakers would And him a terror to
lawlessness and a bulwark to the best
interests of the eounty lie represents.
In the distribution of county offices
it is urged that the north portion of
the county is entitled to the sheriff’s
office and that Mr Thrasher should
get tho nomination. At least lie is
very popular and in the past few days
lias developed much strength, espec-
ially in tho eastern part of the county.

His Lordship Forgot.
That is a touching story which tho
lord mayor of Manchester, England,
has been telling of his predecessor, ac-
cording to the London Globe. His
lordship was attending a dinner, and
the guests had got through the third
course. Suddenly tho memory of a
thing forgotten came into hts lord-
ship's mind. “Damn It, gentlemen,”
he said, "wo have not said grace."

Intesest is a little thing.
Indeed, it does look small;
All tho same it wins tho game,
And then begins to crawl.
Spending is so easy done,
You hardly wait to talk,
But in disguise to your surprife
Interest begins to walk.
You put your money in our Bank,
Your saving account begun;
A pleasing sight to your delight
Interest begins to run.

Performances and Promises
Communicated.
No man should lie nominated for
the important office of congressman
I who has not been tried and found to
: possess patriotism and the true quali
ti yof statesmanship. What 'has Cha ..
E. McPhorren, of Cad I >, Bryan coun-
ty, done that entities him more than
his opponents to tho favorable eon
sideration of ti e Democracy as a can-
didate for the Democratic nomination
I for congress in his (list,riot?
| Railroad Regulation. His record ot
I faithful service to his party began in
Texas under the leadership of Hogg
in the famous Hogg-Clark campaign.
MePlierren, although only 17 years
of ago quit his farm work and took
the stump for Hogg and tho Railroad
commission law. Since that time he
has made a earefnl study of this ques-
tion and no man in the state under-
stands bettor than ho tho problem of
regulating interstate commerce busi-
ness through congressional regulation.
McPhorren became a resident of
Caddo, I T., in 1898, and his first pol-
itical service to his party was to ac-
tively assist in defeating the effort i.i
the “Gold Bugs” in capturing the par-
ty in the Territorial Convention at
Vinita in 1896.
A Rough Rider.— Thou came the
Spanish-American war and he quit
his business and enlisted as a private
in tho Rough Riders under Theodore
Roosevelt, hut his Democracy remain-
ed—no federal office for him.
Work For Statehood.—In the fight
for statehood MePlierren has played a
leading part. He served as a delegate
to all stateoood conventions held dur-
ing the past twelve years.
Fight For Blanket Primary.—At the
first meeting of the Democratic ex-
ecutive committee hold in tho pro-
posed state after the passage of ttie
enabling act McPherren introdue d
the resolution that resulted in pledg-
ing the Democratic party to the adop-
tion of the blanket primary system
for the nomination of all nominees
I from constable to U. S. senator.
Work For Party Success. During
the campaign for the eloction of dele-
gates to the constitutional convention
McPherren made as many speeches
and collected as much money as any
man in the stato, without tho cost of
a single cent to the party.
Author of Anti-Trust law.—Al-
though not a member of tho constitu-
tional convention, McPhorren is the
author of Sec. 41, of Art. 9, which is
our anti-trust law in the proposed
state constitution ; if this patriotic cit-
izen perforins no other public service
this anti trust provision will serve as
an enduring monument to his loyalty
to the public interest and thorough
grasp of the problems of anti-trust
legislation. Should not the author of
our anti-trust law be promoted to re-
present us in congress and assist in
placing similar effective legislation
upon the national statute books when
we select a Democratic congress and
Democratic president in 1908?
There is not a votor in tho district
that can for a moment doubt that in
point of past rervico to party and
country Chas. E. McPherren is the
candidate entitled to preference.
This man who is one of the original
regulators, an ex-soldier, a leader in
the flgnt for tho blanket primary in
Oklahoma, and tho author of our anti-
trust law, is only 32 years of age, his
life is before him, yet while his op-
ponents have nothing to point to as
recommending them to the consider-
ation of the poople hut promises, lie
stands upon a matchless record of
performance. Vote for the man who
lias done something.

Dice Throwing for a Bequest.
The singular sight of two servant
girls throwing dice for charity money
was recently witnessed at Guildford
Tho charity is known as "maids’
money." This was left by John How
In 1874, and each year there is a com
petition for a check for ill 9s. The
dice throwers must have been em-
ployed for two years In one service in
Guildford, but not at an Inn. Laura
Cadman secured the cheek with a
double six, Emma Trimmer throw-
ing six and three.
