t is now believed that a gen-
eral election will be held in
June or July, at which time all
officers and the constitution
will be voted upon. Many
would prefer that the election
go over until November if it
were practicable.

The democrats in the con-
stitutional convention are go-
ing to go around on the initia-
tive and referendum. Many
are pledged to the measure,
while others are just as
strongly opposed to it. Their
party in the third congres-
sional district evidently want
noue of it, as they have is-
sued a * call for a nominat-
ing convention to nominate a
candidate against Governor
T. B. Ferguson, of Watonga,
the republican candidate.

There have been many ser-
ious charges laid at the door of
the county boundaries commit-
tee of the constitutional con-
vention, and the most serious
is that money was freely used
to influence that committee in
the naming of county bound-
aries. We are not inclined to
credit such stories and be-
lieve that the investigation or-
dered by a resolution of Dele-
gate Haskell, will show that
no member of the convention
has been guilty of grafting.
They will „have enough sins to
answer to without having that
of boodling laid at their door.

especially if there should be a

might win if he was ten years
older and not opposed by Sen-

fight now seems to be Curtis

that the field will win.

Ex-Governor Adams of Colo-
rado, addressed the constitu-
tional convention Tuesday even-
ing of this week and is earnest
in his advocacy of equal suf-
frage for women. It has been
tried in Colorado and the opin-
ion of Mr. Adams should have
some weight. The ward, heeler
and ring politician will not be
in favor of women being given
equal suffrage but the most of
us will admit the justice of
their claims for such a right.
Oklahoma is progressive and
we believe that women will be
fully recognized in our consti-
tution.

since wrecks are becoming so

for the old order of things, but

has the most votes to start

of election. We believe that

REVIVAL MEETINGS
The United Brethern, Methodist,
Christian and Presoyterian churches
are all holding special meetings
this week, which have been fairly
well attended despite the inclement
weather. Much interest is being
taken and a number of conversions
are reported. The meetings in each
church will be continued indefinitely,
or as long as there is proper Interest
and any good results. It is the
week of prayer with several of the
churches, and ithey are utilizing the
time in special 'revival meetings.

J. E. Doop and son went over
Cherryvale, Kans-.^last Saturday
to attend the funeral in that city

home and he notes many changes for
the better in Caerryvale, brought
on by their unlimited supply of gas.

onel being on his way to Washing-
ton D C., where he goes as the
accredited representative of Oklaho-
ma in the Foreign Trade convention
to be held in that city January 14th
to 18th. Oklahoma has two repre-
sentatives in the convention—Col.

Col. Bressis has also been appointed
one of the four representatives of
Texas in the convention, the other
three being members of congress
from that state. He left for Wash-
