«, GOOD PUBLIC OFFICIAL
What Constitutes a Proper Public Ser-
vant?—How Can We Know?
There Is more than one way to tell
a good public official, but the one beet
way is to investigate the manner In
which he conducts his office. If un-
der his control he has records to keep,
the way In which these are kept will
indicate whether he properly appre-
ciates his duty to the people. In no
other department of the county's vast
business should greater care and cau-
tion be exercised than In the office of
register of deeds. Under the super-
vision of this official are the records
of land titles, deeds, mortgages, etc.
To his care are committed documents
which have no i rice. Into his keeping
are given papers and records which
shows who own the lands of the coun-
ty. It is for him to exercise the great
est caution, for carelessness might en
tall untold loss and cause ceuseless lit-
igation.
A public official should not only be
an honest official, but he should be a
courteous and obliging one. The reg
ister of deeds is daily, hourly,
minute, called upon for information or
service of some kind. It is for him
to treat the public politely.
Herein lies the secret of J. S. Uoates
wide popularity. Not only has he "kept
the records straight" but he has helped
the public to get their records straight
before having them recorded, and he
and his assistants have at all times
been courteous and obliging.
Therefore, it is the reason why he
will be re-elected.
JAMES BEATTY
Nominee of the Democratic Party of Oklatioma County for
Clerk of Superior Court
It Is a sign of hope for better
things, is the ever-increasing addition
of strong young men to positions of
trust and honor. It shows the good
judgment of the people. In all walks
of life, especially in the business life,
the young men are coming forward
and taking their part in the successful
;onduct of affairs. It is the younger
men who are adopting the new ways
and methods, who are strong enough
to carry the burden of modern strenu-
osity.
Among the strong young men of Ok
lahoma county is James Beatty, the
nominee of the Democratic party of
Oklahoma county for clerk of the su-
perior court. Mr. Beatty, while the son
of his father, Is standing for re-elec-
tion on his own legs, and is asking
for the place Because he Is capable of
filling it, understands the requirements
of the position, and knows he can
please the people.
James is an '89er, and is well known
over the county. For the past several
years he has been associated witn tils
father, Jas. H. Beatty, in the practice
of law, at 117 1-2 West Grand avenue.
To know "Jimmy" is to know a hustler,
and he will make a mighty good clerk
of the superior court.

possible evidence that 1 am succeeding along these lines.
It is my honest opinion that 1 am giving the sick better treatment and quicker cures than
they could obtain elsewhere and my charges are so reasonable that all may have the benefit of
my experience and methods of treatment, which is the latest and most up-to-date in this coun-
try.

MORGAN PRODUCES SALARY
GRAB RECORDS ON FULTONj
Corporation Lawyer Shown to Have Done Some Effective
Salary Grabbing While a Member of the Sixtieth Congress
Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 26.—Nothing since the historic salary grab of
1873 which relegated Ban Voorhees of Indiana and scores of other prominent
members of Congress to the "laine duck" class has so stirred Oklahoma Con- (
gressional circles as the discovery that Ex-Representative Elmer Fulton, dem- j
ocratc nominee for congress against Dick T. Morgan, participated in a salary
grab of his own while a member of the Sixtieth Congress to the extent of
$5,255.14. Like Vorbees, Fulton has defended his action by declaring that
others did the same thing and that he needed the money. So did Ban Voor-
hees when he was attacked by Tom Nelson on this score. Those who can re-
call that great struggle In Indiana between Voorhees and Nelson know that
Vorhees was snowed under by a very avalanche of votes and did broken
hearted several years later.
The facts prove that Mr. Fulton did not get the "grab" at the beginning

He is a man who has been tried.
For a number of years he was a
member of the house of representa-
tives in Kansas, and while serving as
a state senator there was for five
years on the judiciary committee, and
chairman of that committee ior two
years.
He came to Oklahoma in 1889—
twenty-one years ago, and has been
Amount.; identified with the building of the
$369.85 i state since that time.
He was appointed by President Mc-
i>H Kinley a member of the supreme
' !! court of the territory of Oklahoma,
®??Z'and was reappointed by President
c9r on Roosevelt. His record is one of the

62.,.00 known in Oklahoma as the New

fiir'oo this new and rapidly progressing
625^00 country was not an easy one, but
systems, parks and other

the anti-saloon league tell these peo-

HARRY C. ADAMS
The Democratic Candidate for Okla-
homa County Surveyor.
We don't particularly need to tell
you that Mr. Adams is a young man,
his face shows that. But what We
can with all truth and sincerity say
this:
If you choose Harry to be your
county surveyor, you will make a
choice that will give you cause for
self-congratulation. He knows the
business and will make a faithful ser-
vant.
The people of Oklahoma should be
very careful as to whom they elect
as superintendent of public instruc-
tion.
Next to a healthy body an educa-
tion comes as a rich blessing and
with the educational forces of the
state the superintendent has very
much to do, consequently great care
should be exercised in choosing the
person who stands at the head of
the school system.
He should be a man who not only
has a well balanced temperament but
he should by all means have had the
proper training and experience for
the important position he is to fill.
From many sources we have learn-
ed that John P. Evans, republican
candidate for state superintendent,
has all of the needed qualifications
which enter into the make-up of one
called upon to superintend a state
school system, nnd that confidence is
not expressed in regard to his oppon-
ent.

The order affects about 1,200 persons
