The Opening of this Store marks the beginning of an era of lower prices in Paw-

Our Platform.
1st. We favor the earliest
possible organization -of a first
class public school system and
pledge ourselves to its immediate
accomplishment, consistent with
our present conditions and re-
sources.
2nd. Beleiving that all just
power comes from the consent
of the governed and that in all
important matters of public con-
cern the people should he the
jury, we favor the principle of
“Referendum,” and we are op-
posed to the granting of any
franchise without first submit-
ting the same to the people
3rd. We pledge ourselves to
the immediate improvement of
the sanitary conditions of our
city._
Announcements.
The first Oklahoma contained
3,000,000 acres, but kept on grow-
ing until the new state embra-
ces 44,000,000 acres.
A vote for Ihe democratic
ticket is a vote to make Paw-
huska a better place for you and
your neighbor to live.
A vote for the democratic
ticket meas less pools of stag-
nant water, and improved sani-
tary conditions.
This is no time for democrats to
scratch their tickets. Stamp
in the circle under the rooster
and you vote the democratic
ticket straight.
I hereby anunuiice myself as a candidate for
Ihe Democratic nomination as Delegate to the
Constitutional Convention, subject to the will
of the Democratic party of the Osage Reservation,
T. .1. LEAHY.
A vote for the democratic
ticket means an able, honest,
and progressive administration
of city affairs.
Familiarize yourself with the
democratic ticket, Acquaint
yourself with the names (hereon
anti then vote if straight by
'simply stamping in the circle
under the rooster.
A vote for the democratic tick-
et means a vote for the early
establishment of public schools,
commensurate with our popula-
tion and conditions.
The Kansas city Star, which
bitterly fought Mr. Bryan in
189G and 1300, seems to he mak -
ing a strong effort to get into
the band wagon for 1908.
The candidate who promises to make
street crossings for your votes is Bim-
ply endeavoring to buy your votes with
out price. There is only one motto for
democrats and that is to “Vote the
Ticket Straight.”
The press of the country is
wasting a vast amount of valu-
able space in giving the disgust-
ing details concerning the life of
the millionaire degenerate Thaw
who shot and killed Stanford
White, the New York architect
whose principal enjoyment in
life seemed to be the ruining of
young girls. The woman who
caused the killing is no better
than the murderer and the kill-
ing was hut the end to be ex-
pected from her career.
The superflous statement
comes from New York that Wall
street Is not for William Jen-
nings Bryan for president. Of
course not; it never was. But
Wall street is not going to dic-
tate who shall succeed Mr.
Roosevelt; the plain common
people are going to take that
matter in their own hands this
time and will name Mr. Bryan.
Those who think that the Re-
publicans will not be able to col
lect campaign funds this fall
from the railroads and trusts
should remember that the Ad
ministration is keeping secret
most of the reports on investiga-
tion that have been made and
that the trusts and corporations
are willing to pay, rather than
have publicity
Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of happiness for the people of
the new state are some of the
things that enter into the work
of the coming constitutional
convention. There is need of
the best men of the new state
in that body. If there was ever
one office above the others that
should seek the man it is that of
delegate to the constitutional
convention.
With the admittance of Okla-
homa and Indian Territory to
statehood, the last of the Louis-
ana will have been admitted.
Oklahoma will he the fourteen-
th state carved out of the pur-
chase. It is a case wherein the
hist is first, as Oklahoma has
more population and wealth
than had of its predecessors at
the time of admission. Less
than a dozen exceed Oklahoma
in area, and less than half of
I hem in population. In pro-
gress, educational and financial,
I Oklahoma will average well
♦ with her sisiers in the republic.
Its educational institutions are
now ahead of many of the states.
With 90,000 square miles of rich
and fertile land and a climate
unsurpassed, a soil adapted to
all kinds of crops, gas, oil and
coal in abundance, and a people
with the energy of the north, a
few years will rank Oklahoma
with the best.—Medford Pa-
triot.
Tams Bixby, Judges Gill
and Clayton comprising the dis
tricting commission for the In-
dian Territory were in joint ses-
sion with the Oklahoma com-
missioners at Guthrie, Tuesday.
It was announced after their
meeting that all their work would
'be completed by August 15, so
that the election of dslegates to
the convention will occur about
the time of the regular fall elec
tion with the convention sitting
by December 1, giving a ninety
day campaign for candidates for
state offices. The first state elec-
tion will he held about May 1.
With the adoption of the fran-
chise clause by the democratic
convention the last ray of hope
for the republicans in the com-
ing election went glimmering.
For the past year leaders in that
party have been busily engaged
in sowing discord among the
members of the democratic
party. The Gas company has
been held up as a great bug a
boo, and an effort to make it the
rock upon which the democrats
would become disrupted was a
total failure. This effort had
been pursued to such an extent
that many believed and looked
for a break in the convention
hut when the resolution provid-
ing that no franchise begranted
except upon popular vote of f lit’
people, was read and championed
by the gas people as well as all
other democrats their chagrin
was complete and like the whip
ped cat at a backyard entertain-
ment, they slunk away in the
darkness.
