Judge S. H. Sornborger of
Cleveland, has withdrawn from
the race for district judge leav-
ing L. M. Poe the only candi
date in the field. Judge Sorn
borger is out in a neat letter in
which he eulogizes Mr. Poe for
the fairness of the campaign and
pronounces him a high class gen-
tleman. Judge Sornl>orger is
thankful to the friends who pre-
ferred him their sup|jort and as
sures them he highly appreciates
the same.
A continual landslide has been
going on in favor of Lee Cruce
for governor for the last ten
days. In many counties the
vote will tie almost unanimous
for him and in many others he
will get more votes than both
his opponents combined. Osage
county should fall in line and
give the Ardmore man arousing
vote in return for the interest he
manifested in Oage county last
year, when he spoke here for the
democratic ticket.
Yours for prices,
The State Capital, a creature
torn and reared in graft, is op-
posing the • constitution. It is
doing so, hoping that it ra a y
cause the defeat of statehood
and thereby continue bilking the
territory and the federal govern-
ment out of sufficient to k$ep it-
self alive. Then, its policy has
always been dictated by the San
ta Fe railroad and other corpora-
tions which have robbed the peo-
ple of Oklahoma out of hundreds
of thousands of dollars in exces-
sive freight rates, and whose
stealings will also he cut off by
statehood. They are against the
constituiion, and the State Capi
tal for favors received in the
past and being extended at pres-
ent is opposing anything that
will interfere with them. Be
cause the State Capital denounc-
es the constitution and sets up a
few groundless objections a
number of small fry papers in
the territory including a number
in Osage county, feel called up-
on to rehash everything the Cap-
ital says, regardless of h o w
much truth or falsity it express-
es. To the fair minded man the
case of these “Me too Fellows”
is more reprehensible than is
that of the State Capital. Ti e
State Capital knows its object
and the “Small Fry” do not.

Osage county will give Lee
Cruce a good vote in Saturday’s
primary. When here last fall
he impressed those who heard
him as a quiet unassuming man.
One who uses his own judgment
and is conservative in all under-
takings. They have had no oc-
casion to change their minds. In
fact, the more they heard and
learned of him the more they
are convinced that their first im-
pressions are correct. This paper
would be pleased to see Lee
Cruce get every vote in t h e
county and to see the voters of
Osage use equally good judg-
ment in the selection of all other
candidates on both state and
county tickets.
Every democrat in the county
has a duty to perform next Sat-
urday, and that duty is one
which he owes to the party. A
duty aU>ve persoual friendship
IH*tween man and man. It is a
duty that he owes to his |>arty
as a member thereof and a duty
In* owes to his neighliors and fel-
inwmaii to help Select a ticket in
whose hands the reins of gov-
ernment will be safe.
The Covington Leader of Mar.
22, comments as follows: “The
story of the early life of Hon. M.
L. Turner of Oklahoma City,
candidate for United States sen-
ator from Oklahoma, on the
democratic ticket, reads like fic-
tion. If reports are true he has
had a good many of the world’s
rough cornere knocked olf on
him and has seen considerable
of life. There should lie much
inspiration to young men in his
triumph over obstacles. He rose
from the depths of abject pover
ty to his present position of re-
spectibility, influence and use-
fulness, by sheer pluck and an
indomitable will-power. Nothing
[ can keep a man down in this
world if he is made of the right
kind of stuff. ”
The Duncan Banner of March
22, printed an editorial as fol-
lows: ‘There art* few men who
art* more popular or have a larg-
er following than M. L. Turner!
Such is the heading of a hand
bill put out this morning by the
| Commercial Club. The meaning
is that this city now has an op-
portunity to secure one of these
labor employing institutions.
The proposition is not fully un
derstood but will probably be
explained at tonight’s meeting.
Pawhuska can afford to go sev
eral lengths to secure such an
institution. Coming at a time
when water works, sewers and
other enterprises.are being pro-
mulgated our citizens must not
overlook the benefits to be de-
rived by its location here. Labor
employing institutions make
substantial towns and wide
awake places are always after
them. Pawhuska must not enter
the “Penny Wise and Pound
Foolish” class at this stage of
its existence.
The Robert Schamaan Club.
The pupils in Mrs. Blanc’s
music class have organized the
Robert Schumann Club, and
adopted as their motto “Success
Crowns Effort” with the prom-
ise ‘we will try. ’ The officers of
the club are Mrs. Blanc, pres.;
Coena Simms, vice pres.; Jessie
Tinker, sec.; Lillie Flanagan,
treas.; Mrs. Case, critic.
The club held its first meeting
last Monday night and will meet
regularly the first Monday of
each month.
Their next meeting will lie
Schumann night and an excel-
lent program will be rendered.
C. B. Thomas is the only
blacksmith in town that does
nothing but horseshoeing him
self.
The early poverty plea or any
other sympathy dodge stamps
the candidate making it a very
cheap demagogue at the best.
Roy Hoffman is making his
campaign for United States sen-
ator from the Oklahoma side
solely on his merits and his pres-
ent fitness mentally, physically,
morally and politically to repre-
sent the people of the new state
in a legislative body that makes
no allowance for cranks or clams
and measures a state’s import-
ance by the ability of its repre-
sentatives. The state owes noth-
ing to any man, and our repre-
sentatives in both houses of
Congress must possess all their
faculties, and be able to measure
up to the tiest standards in elo-
quence, energy, sincerity and
mental and bodily vigor, or the
senate and their constituents
will be the losers. A seat in the
senate is an opportunity to work
for the general good, and not a
sinecure with which to reward
a man, either for alleged hard-
ships in youth, or the inability
to support himself in middle
age. Such a position should not
be looked upon as a prize to be
awarded either to political men-
dicants with whom the official
itch has become chronic, or to
bloated bond holdere who seek
the place to serve their special
interests. The history of other
states ought to serve as a timely
w arning. It doesn't take long
in the senate to uncover either a
demagogue or a corporation tool,
and the people of Oklahoma
ought to be wise enough not to
send that kind of a man there.
Roy Hoffman proves Ins fitness
for the place by his platform of
principles from which we make
the following extracts:
“I have no special interests to
subserve. I am under no obli -
gations to any one; have mad?
no promises and will make none.
I am not in the employ of any
public service corporation, as at-
torney or otherwise and do not
own a dollar’s worth of stock in
any corporation, public or pri
vate. I have an earnest desire
to promote the commou good,
and will fill the office with the
full and only view of rendering
the greatest service to the citi-
zens of Oklahoma.
This, country has been my
home since the first day of the
first settlement of old Oklahoma.
I grew to man’s estate here and
lived all the years of mf mah-
hood on Oklahoma soil. I have
always been an active worker
for and believer in the funda-
mental principles of the: demo
cratic party, and the doebmps
taught by Jefferson, JaclSon
and Bryan. I believe I
our country and its needs* add
can be of service to the state. I
would not have to listen to the
cry of the demagogue, or take a
course subservient to the conven-
ience of the hour; but follow a)
ways the dictates of a sound
political economy and the im-
mutable principles of justice and
good faith. I want to see our
state a lofty and noble as well as
a prosperous and splendid one.
excelling in wise and wholesome
laws as it does in soil and cli-
mates, so that it shall be the
l>est place in all the world to
live.
