GRANT WOOD
J. Cl. Wood of Tonkawa has an-
nounced himself as a candidate for
nomination for sheriff of Kay Coun-
ty. Mr. Wood’s announcement will
not appear in the Chieftain, be-
cause that paper cannot support
him for the office. Mr. Wood claims
to be a Democrat, yet during his
several terms in office as council-
man from the 3rd ward of Tonkawa,
he has used all his influence and
extended all the patronuge of his of-
fice to a republican newspaper. It
is only reasonable that he should be
required to look to that paper for a
return of favors. There is another
matter, however, of much more im-
portance to the voters who examine
concientiously into the merits ul
candidates than discriminiating
against a democratic newspaper and
it especially concerns those individ-
uals, who either thru themselves or
an organization are working for law-
enforcement. It is a maxin of law
that ho who would condemn and
and punish must come into court
with clean hands. If the civic
league or uny other organisation
that stands for law enforcement,
wish to command unalloyed respect
and assure success in their labors,
they must set an example thut is
above reproach. They cannot hope
to create a reverence for law by en-
dorsing law breakers for oflice.

Scbroth has tried several times.
Mr. Wood may not have been doing
this work under contract; If not he
was doing it under a worse viola-
tion of the law, because, lie was do-
ing it under conivance of certain
city officials. The law does not
contemplate that any official can
take advantage of his office to se-
cure labor where he is in a position
to vote on allowing his own bills.
The democratic party must insist
that their candidates, like Ct asai s
wife, shall be above suspicion.
HUGH JOHNSON
Hugh Johnson, of Braman, is a
candidate for nomination for sheriff
of Kay County on the Democratic
ticket. He has been serving some-
time in the capacity of deputy sher-
iff, and has proven himself a very
active, efficient and intelligent offi-
cer. It was Hugh Johnson that
closed up the joints of Nurd in and
put the bootleggers out of business.
Hugh Johnson is the gentleman
that mado all the arrests and liquor
seizes in Tonkawa. He lias promised
Ponca City that he will clean up
that place and they have taken him
at his word and going to vote for
him over there, Mr. Johnson has
proven a most excellent deputy,
which is the very best recomenda-
tion a candidate can possess. He
also stands high in Braman and
will command tho undivided sup-
port of that, liis home town. If the
Civic league of Tonkawa is going
to take a hand in the sheriff game,
the Chieftain recommands thr>
look Mr. Johnson's record up and
find out where he stands before act
ing.
The work of initiating the
Grandfather Clause" amendment
was successfully finished to-day
when Hon. Fred P. Branson,
Chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, filled witl
(he Secretary of State, at Guthrie,
the petitions asking for ail elec-
tion on the ammcnduient. The
number of names turned in
amounted to 0"er 12,000 and pe-
titions are still pouring into Head-
quarters by the hundred. The
requisite number of signers was
about 38.000.
The unusual short time in
which this proposition was initi-
ated makes a new record iu the
history of such undertakings.
The Executive Committee began
the work of securing signatures
on the 25th of April and closed
today, the 28th of May, thus se-
curing the petitions and filing
them in thirty-three days.
The State Capital petitions
were initiated in sixty days, with
all parties and all colors circulat-
ing petitions and signing them.
The "Grandfather" petitions were
circulated by the Democratic or-
ganization alone, and the short
time in wich the work was done
speaks well for the efficiency of
the organization. It is also signi-
ficant of the unanimity with
which the Democracy endorse
the proposed reform Much cred-
it for the success of the work is
due to Chairman Branson, who
visited twenty-seven counties in
interest of the measure. The lo-
cal organization throughout the
state also labored earnettly to
achieve the desired icsutt

WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENCE
EXTRA VAGAN T EX PEN'DHL* HE
The Dresont Congress has appro-
priated $96,000,000 for the army,
$134,000,000 for the navy and $150,
000,000 for pensions; $385,000,000,
71 per cent of our total levy for ex-
pense upon wars, past, present and
to come. Only $9,000,000 were ex-
pended by the present Congress up-
on agriculture. Multiplied millions
for the arts of war and a mere t rifle
for the fruitful arts of peace. This
is Rep iblie.in statesmanship. Two
battleships, costing $32,000,000,
were provided lor in the naval ap- j
propriution bill last week. All the J
Democrats but three and the iusur-!
gent Republicans voted against the [
battleships -the standpatters voted i
for tho “sea monsters”.
HIGH TARIFF TORIES
The high tariff turio. have just
succeeded in placing in tho Sundry ;
Civil appropriation bill of tho House
an ntlowence of $250,000 for the tar- ^
iff commission. They hope to make
their rescue in the coming Novem-
ber election. The plan is to tell the
people that they will revise the tar-
ill again as soon as this board makes
their report, if the report justifies
and necessitates another. In other*
words, the tariff is to be revised by I
its friends again. Republican lead-
ers are in dispair and unless they
can deceive the people aguiu they
are utterly without hope.
THE TAX QUESTION
The people of Oklahoma put into
the state treasury for state purposes
$2,()00,00J, and they pay into the
national treasury $18,000,000 for na-
tional uses and extravagance. Re-
publicans favor a high tax for na-
tional and pretend to favor low tux
for state purposes.
MeUUlRK NEGRO 1111.1,
The McGuire bill to enroll 10,900
negroes as Indians, which would
cost the Indians twenty or thirty
million dollars has been if not finally
posponed, at least delayed for the
present by the vigorous fight made
against it under the leadership of
Congressman Carter, Senator Gore
ami the other Democratic members
of the Oklahoma delegation.
