TW Secretary Says
MORARGHUL POWER WANIN6
Baltimore. Sept- 12.—Coming as
the personal representative of Pres-
ident WUaon, who found himarlf
unable to attend. Secretary Bryan
spoke here today at the Star Span
gled Banner celebration. The sub-
ject of the address war "The Hair "
The conatitution of the United
States, he aaid, had become a-pat-
tern copied by other nations, and
now was to be seen everywhere the
waning of monarchial authority and
hereditory power.
Americana never had hesitated.
Mr. Bryan aaid. to die if nieesaary
in defense of the authority for
which the flag stood. "But the
war era has ended in the United
States." he added, "and is drawing
towards it* close in foreign lands;
the convulsions through which Eu-
rope is now passing are but the
death throes of malitarism "
<;reatne$s in service
Mr. Bryan said:
"Let no one think that the tex
ture of our manhood will be of a
lower quality when its strength is
no longer tested by the stress of
war. We could not worship God as
we do if we were convinced that
each generation must be exercised
In blood letting to prevent stagna-
tion. There is as much inspiration
in a noble as in an heroic death.
With peaceful progress the avenues
of usefulness are being multiplied.
Instead of seeking to extend our
territory by the sword, we are en-
larging it by intelligent cultivation
of che soil; instead of measuring
our merit by the numbers we can
overcome, we estimate greatness by
the service rendered.
"It now is three thousand years
since Solomon declared that "He
that is slow to anger is better than
the mighty, and he that ruleth his
spirit, than he that taketh a city,’
and yet the world is just now com-
ing to understand this truth. In
the dap that is dawning the bravery
of self restraint will take the place
of that bravery which tramp’es up-
on the rights of others—man will
dare to forgive and leave vengeance
to the Lord.—Kansas City Star.

Henry Townsend For Sheriff
J. H. Townsend, or Henry Town-
send as he is better known, is a resi-
dent of Cushing at the present time.
He was born and raised on a farm
in Hopkins county, Texas and came
the Chickasaw nation nearly twenty
years ago. He afterward moved to
a farm near where the town of Ada
now stands. At this place he was
married and continued to farm un-
til twelve or thirteen years ago,
when he came to Creek county and
has lived in Creek and Payne coun-
ties since that time. Mr. Townsend
has served as a peace officer most of
the time for the past ten years. He
has served as special agent for the
Frisco railroad, deputy sheriff of
Creek county, and police officer in
Sapulpa, and when conditions were
at the worst in Cushing during the
great boom from May 1913 to June
1. 1914, he assisted the present sher-
iff of this county in keeping order in
that city.
The recommendation, the appro-
val and the trust of a man’s neigh-
bors and those among whom he has
ived and worked and for whom he
las worked, is the highest recom-
mendation he can have, and the
friends of Henry Townsend respect-
fully refer any voter in the county
who is in doubt about his honesty,
integrity and ability to make a sat-
isfactory sheriff of Payne county, to
these people wTho have known him
for years, and know of his official
record, as well as those with whom
he has been associated in Cushing

Eighteen members of the Stillwa-
ter Gospel team went to Pawnee
Saturday afternoon, and returned
Monday morning. While there they
conducted four services, and were
blessed with several conversions.
The services at the different chur-
ches Sunday morning were very
successlul. All services were well
attended, and the spiritual uplift
that was experienced there will long
be remembered.
The team goes to Cottonwood on
next Sunday to hold services. This
team is doing a great work for the

would like the help of this team in
any way, please write to I. I. Wool

Millard For County Clerk
C. E. Millard of Stillwater town-
shiy is the choice of the democratic
party for the office of court clerk of
Payne county and in our estimation
is the man fitted for the place. He
is acquainted with the conditions in
Oklahoma for he has lived here
seventeen years. Ed attended the
Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege in this city for three years
after spending one year in the
Stillwater High School. He has
been engaged in the cotton and
grain business, and as a clerk in the
railroad office here, for a number of
years, but recently has made farm-
ing his line of business. He was
the democratic nomjnee two years
ago and as that was a republican
year he was one of the losers. With
the democrats in solid phalanx this
year the scenes have changed and if
you wish to be on the winning side
vote for Millard and the democratic
ticket.

This Buy-a Ba)«-of-Cotton move-
ment is decidedly interesting, Th#
war in Europe, while It helps some
Industrie#, has for th# time being
prostrated the eotton industry and
the fields of Dixie are white. With
little prospect of disposing of that
part of the American cotton crop
which usually goes abroad, the cot*
ton planter Is in gloom, and has sent
out an SOS signal.
Thus the Buy-a-Bale-of- Cotton
movement.
It is a call updb the private eitisen
to buy a bale of cotton at the price
of 10 cents a pound- Although the
movement is of recent inception the
call is being responded to with liber-
ality. President Wilson has pur-
chased his bale of cotton, and for-
mer Congressman Mann of Illinois,
has responded with equal liberality*
Three thousand bales of cottqp have
been purchased in Texas under this
plan, while the movement is meet*
ing with similar success in Mississ-
ippi, Georgia and other eastern
state* of the cotton belt.
It is a movement id titfc tt)£ Cot-
ton planter along. The crop is in
the field waiting to be turned into
money; the farmer is waiting to pay
the merchant and the bank, and
these are waiting to turn the'golden
stream into circulation for the ben-
efit of all.

J. K. Munday of Cimarron town-

chairman of the election board of
Payne county to succeed W. M. Bar-
ker of Mehan. The republican
member of the board to succeed
Mr. Prowant of Quay, has not been
named. The first act of Uncle Jim
in the official capacity of his new
office was the recount of the ballots
in the commissioners race in the
third district which resulted in a tie
in the August primary. The bids
for the ballots for the November
election were opened, and the con-
