ARE NOT LEADERS
The democratic county cen-
tral committee met in Ponca
City Saturday, May 12, and
lifter considering the primary!
system of nominating candi-
dates, adjourned to meet in
Blackwell May 20, on the same
date the republican committee
sieet. They also appointed a
committee to confer with the
republicans and see if arrange-
ments could be made to hold a
primary by both parties on the
same day. In discussing this
action of the committee the
Newkirk Democrat-llerald un-
der the head of “It is Up to the
Republicans,” freely admits
that the democrats of Kay coun-
ty are not leaders but will be
satisfied to follow. The demo-
cratic party has for the past
four years nominated their
candidates by the primary sys-
tem; the Democrat-Herald says
it is the right way, and that
the democrat committee and the
rank and file of both parties
are in favor of it. If this state-
ment is true, then the action of
BLACKWELL OKLAHOMA
the democrat committee was
most cowardly. Why did they
not declare for the primary sys-
tem? Why adjourn to a later
date to see what the republi-
cans would do?
When the two committees
meet in Blackwell next Satur-
day, in our judgment the re-
publicans will declare for a
nominating convention, and we
predict that in tace of the fact
that the democrats have tried
the primary sytem for four
years; the three democratic
papers in the county have from
time to time insisted that was
the right way; disregarding the
Democrat-Herald’s statement
that the rank and file of both
parties are in favor of it, the
democrat will “resolve, view
with alarm” and then fall in
line and use and approve the
identical plan adopted by the
republicans.
Blackwell homes are radiant
and beautiful with the numer-
ous rose bushes that bedeck the
lawns and trellises. Why not
beautify the streets by planting
roses between the trees in the
parkings?
When- you look around in
this old world you see tnauy
places that you thiuk are
beautiful, and forget your own
possessions. It is the usual
lack of appreciation of what
we see every day. That Black-
is beautiful we learn from
visitors.

four ballots to decide the matter.
