That Campaign Liar Out.
We believe it was Barnum who
said the American people loved to be
humbugged. This may be true, but
we do not doubt the moral sensibili-
ties of a just and righteous public
are seriously offended when im-
posed upon by a liar- a campaign
liar, one of the most contemptible
of liars.
This character is loose in the
I county and his last and meanest
work is against the character and
good name of Hon. J. D. Lydick.
It is rumored that a human incu-
bus is 011 the streets with a letter,
showing it, in which letter it is
claimed that someone attempted to
steal or did steal a book. The let-
ter does not name who it is who is
charged. These rascals—villians,
wolves, gliouls, monsters do not
dare come out of the dark and
charge l.ydick with a crime
They fear the courts. They know
the results.
Mr. Lydick has denounced
these immoral fungi, and yet they
dare hatch this nasty slander, pull
men out to one side and show

CHICHESTER'S E'IGLISH
PENNYROYAL PILLS
I iriiirciit ful
tory better qualified for the posi-
tion.
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
This position calls for a person
competent, careful and alive to the
security of the people, and fearless
the prosecution of the criminal.
Nicodetnus, the candidate of
democracy for the office of county
attorney points with pride to his
past record in this office. Every
true democrat will rally to his
standard and one of the largest ma-
jorities ever given a democratic
candidate in this county will be
given A. Nicodetnus.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT 01' I'Ull-
I.IC INSTRUCTION.
file present condition of our
public schools is a credit to the
county and the territory. For this
condition and high standing of our
schools Prof. F. B. Swank has
given his best thought and energies
He is before the people on his
record and the endorsement given
him at the coming election will be
one that will reflect credit oil the
good judgment of those interested
in the success of our public schools.
COUNTY CLERK.
Frank Miller is seeking a sec-
ond election as county clerk. He
calls attention to his record. The
duty of democracy is to give this
an endorsement in keeping with
party history and tradition, and
this we have not the slightest fear
will lie done. One of the best offi-
cials this county has ever had
just how large shall we make liis
majority?
COUNCILMAN, FIFTH DISTRICT.
E. L. Cralle has practically no
opposition for this place. Those
who know Mr. Cralle best know
his superior qualifications for this
(xisition. There will be legislation
s pecially needed for our part of the
territory that he above all others
can get. His mnjority will be the
largest ever given from this dis
t.
to his past official record. Courte
ous, kind, pleasant anil agreeable,
always firm in the course he deems
right, he is a representative man
for the place. Democracy should
leave nothing undone to give this
typical gentleman and democrat ;
ajority in proportion to the man
ly qualities and superior qiialifica
tions of the man.
REGISTER OP DEEDS.
Owing to extreme sickness in
Mr. Robert Stogner's family he
lias been unable to make a canvass
for the position to which lie was
nominated. No one regrets these
conditions more than Mr. Stogner.
The party has never had a more
active worker and a more loyal
supporter than he. It should be
remembered that he was once duly
elected to an office in this county
only to have the office abolished
before he could serve the county
Mr. Stogner is capable, he is hon
est, he is a thorough gentleman
and good. citizen and will make
splendid official.
COUNTY WEIGHER.
While not commonly so regard
ed, yet there is 110 more respousi
hie position ill
A Republican Frost.
With the sounding of trumpets
and the tooting of horns the repub-
lican campaign was opened in Nor-
man last Friday night by W. T.
Williams, of Shawnee, candidate
for the council from the fifth coun-
il district. As this was the first
speech making in Norman this
year, the local republicans were in
great glee and each republican ap-
pointed himself a committee of one
to hustle out a crowd. The side-
walks, the telephone poles, the
store windows and the entire post
office was plastered with bills tell-
ing of this new Moses who has
within the last twelve months hied
himself from the frozen country of
South Dakota.
The speaker was introduced in a
very nicely prepared speech by
Chairman Larsh. who expected to
hear the principles of the G. O. P.
set forth in a herculean and
convincing manner, and that dem-
ocrats would be on their knees pay-
ing their penance to the party of
trustees, social equality and Teddy

the enabling act is not binding on

fore the capital fi^ht shouldn't en-
ter into this election." The attor-
neys on the platform looked very
much worried, but s?iid never a
word. The sjK*aker concluded, the
crowd clapped their hands for the
first time, and oh, what joy the
speaker had finished. The repub-
licans went home, cold, heart brok-
en and frozen. It is our candid
belief should they live for a thou-
sand years the thought of last Fri-
day night would cause the cold
chills to run through them.
the county than that J the Terror. What a frame of
of county weigher. This calls for | mind our republican friends were
a man of good judgment and dis-
cretion, and a man of unquestioned
integrity. Mr. W. L. Martin, the
democratic candidate for this place
possesses all these qualities and
when elected will fill the office with
credit to himself and with justice
and fairness to the people of the
county.
COUNTY SURVEYOR.
T. I„. Davis, by natural ability
and superior training will make a
county surveyor who will reflect
just credit to both himself and the
county. He has long been a resi
dent of this county loyal to his
friends, honest, capable, and a man
who fully measures the needs of the
county. No better selection could
have been made.

When Mr. Render accepted the
chairmanship of the Democratic
Campaign Committee, in a talk to
the candidates, he announced that
a political campaign was legitimate-
ly a campaign of political principles
and not one of personalities and
private character. He very em-
phatically told all the can
didates on the Democratic ticket
that should any candidate deviate
from this and assail private char-
acter, he would withdraw his sup
port from such candidate. He
works upon the principle that de-
feat with honor is better than vic-
tory at the expense of dishonorable
methods. Democracy will win the
battle with clean hands.
When a derogatory statement is
made about a candidate, where do
you go to learn if it is true? Do
you go to his friends or do you go
to his enemies? These villinous
campaign liars set their traj>s, catch
you in them and laugh at you for
being an "easy sucker."
The lies told about some of the
candidates on the democratic ticket
will elect these very candidates by
increased majorities. "Just so far
shalt thou lie and no farther.

Williams o{>ened up and the things
he told the audience of about
caused the faces of the republican
leaders to contract so much that
you would have thought that each
one had eaten a barrel of sour pick
els for supper.
The look of disappoint 11 lent was
plainly visible and the hour of en
durance was something terrible.
We dislike very much to quote
some of the things told by the
speaker as our readers will declare
that we certainly have given a
wrong rej>ort. However, with 75
witnesses who will certainly testify
as to the correctness of our report
we will make the attempt.
Mr. Williams said in pari "I
do not expect ti) be elected and ran
therefore tell what I think. I have
not been here quite a year, but
think it is a great honor ti) receive
a nomination at the hands of the
republican party. (No cheers).
(The freezing process has just be-
gun.) I came from Dakota 10
Shawnee and did not expect to find
such a beautiful country I am
not posted on territorial affairs
! (Ice getting thicker.) But should
I Ik- so fortunate to be elected,
which I do not expect, I shall leg-
islate in the interests of the whole
people. I believe we have too
many laws and that we have too
many legislators. I am in favor of
putting more power in the hands
of our president and governor.
(Horrors, the leaders get fierce and
look defiance at the speaker.) Yes,
my friends, 1 would have the presi
dent and governor make all estim-
ates, collect all the taxes and do
the disbursing, because he would
l>e honest and there would not be-
so much wrangling. 1 do not
know what to do with the school
lands, but I would study the ques-
tion and perhaps do what we did in
my state, South Dakota. Now, in
regard to the congressional race I
can say that Mr. McGuire and Mr.
Mathews are splendid gentlemen
and well qualified for the position.
I am not a partisan and we should
lay our politics aside and vote for
Judge Irwin Accused.
A rumor is being quietly circu-
lated that Hon. Judge Clinton K
Irwin, judge of the second judicial
district appointed the bailiffs for
the October term of court which
convened in the city of Norman
October 17th. We are at a loss to
understand for what reason Judge
Irwin would so usurp his power to
do such a thing. It is quite true |
that several republicans and one
lone person who wore a Mathews
button assisted ti) the best of their
ability in aiding the judge ti) hold
court. Who made the appoint I
nieuts did you say? Certainly not !
Judge Irwin, please dismiss that j
from your mind at once. It was
sheriff Barker who made the ap-
pointments which he has always!
done. Why this rumor? Is it ,
possible that Sheriff Barker has'
turned a deaf ear to his j>opulist
friends who have waged battle
with him in years gone by? Did
any of his tried and true friends
ask ti) assist the court? If they
did, has Mr. Barker turned them
down ami aligned himself with the
republican party coaxing them
with a little sugar ti) support him
for sheriff. Has he gone back on
the gray haired veterans who have
fought the battles of populism for
years' 11 looked peculiarly strange
not a populist was waiting on
the court at the last term. If this
story that is being quietly told is
for the purpose of injuring Judge
Irwin or giving the republican party
a black eye it should be stopped
at once. We are sorry indeed
that some persons actually art so
honest ti) believe what some i>eo-
ple tell them.
The facts are that Mr. Barker I
made the appointments and believ-
ing that he carried the populist |
vote in his vest pocket he went to I
the extreme of attempting to make;
political campaign medicine by ap-
pointing two republicans and a
man who wore a Mathews button ti
assist him during court.
