Majority Favor Primary.
Some two weeks ago this paper
sent out letters to the democratic
county central committemen asking
them to state their views upon the
best method of nominating candi-
dates this year. There are twenty-
one committeuien and eleven of
them have responded. Four of the
committee have up to date made
no answer and there are six vacan-
cies to fill.
Those favoring a primary are:
E. F.West, 10-4-west; C. C. Nail,
10-3-west; J.W. Wilson, iO l-east
M. V. Knowles, 9-1-east; S. G.
Howery, 9-2-west; I.. C. Brandt,
9-3-west; W. A. Leslie, 8-2-west;
W. E. Craig, 8-1-w; R. M. Fowler,
7-1-east; Frank Claunch, 6 1 west
W. J. Hess, West Norman.
The democracy of Cleveland
county is to be congratulated that
a majority have signified their will-
ingness to nominate by primary.
The few parties who are advocating
a convention are honest in their
views and perhaps are doing what
lliev think is the best for tile party.
Nominations by primary is satis-
factory to the people and has always
given the best results. The last
legislature passed a primary law
which has been demanded by the
democrats of Oklahoma in the last
three territorial conventions.
The law is a just one and will be
for the best interests of the party.
A convention this year would be
almost a calamity njion the party
in the face <>f what the last legisla-
ture had done. The primary bill
was introduced by Mr. Bryan of
Pottawatomie county and every
democrat in both houses voted for
it. The measure is democratic in
principle and eliminates boss rule.
Every democrat should have a di
red voice in making nominations
and the primary plan is the only
method where this can In.* done.
To be sure there are restrictions
in the primary law that we have
not had in the wide open primary
of the past.
Some of the restrictions are, 1st,
that a voter must vote in the pre-
cinct wherein he resides. 2nd, he
must be a member of that party or
signify his intentions of afiliating
with that party at the next elec-
tion. 3rd, the election must l>e
carried on in as strict a manner as
the general election. 4th, violations
of law provide a penalty. No loyal
democrat can object to nominations
being made by direct vote, and no
honest person will object to each
party making its own nominations.
The Democrat Topic believes that
the committee will voice the wishes
of 98 i*-r cent of the Cleveland
county democracy when it decides
to hold a legal primary election.

The New White Fabrics.
The coming season will be without doubt the greatest white season known for
years. Manufacturers have sold more white fabrics than ever before in their his-
tory. 1 oday it is almost impossible to make any contract for future deliveries of
white goods; the manufacturers have sold their entire production for the comii g sea-
son. Very early purchases places us in a position to offer every novelty, together
with all staple weaves at prices much below their present worth. These are a few
of the many shown here:
Mercerized waistings, twenty-seven inches wide, per yard 20c, 25c and ;i5c.
New Piques in a full line of welts at 15c, 20c, 25c aud 35c.
Linen finished suiting, a clever imitation of real linen, thirty-two inches wide, per yard 15c.
Dotted Swiss, both figures and dots, priced per yard at 15c, 20c, 25c, 35c and 50c.
India Linon of best combed yarns, will not full up when washed; per yard, 5c, 8c, 10c,
12 l-2c, 15c, 20c, 25c and 35c,
Persian lawns at 15c, 20c, 25c, 35c aud 40c,
Wash chiffons, fifty inches wide, the new sheer fabric, per yard 40c, 50c, 65c and 75c.
French lawns, forty inches wide, at 25c, 35c and 40c.
Dress ducks, extra quality, per yard 10c.
Embroideries and Laces.
Out offerings for the coming season far eclipse any previous efforts. They include every
novelty as well as the more staple patterns. These were all purchased direct from the importers
at old prices, placing us in a position to offer only the newest and best patterns at the smallest
prices consistent with desirable merchandise. U'e cordially invite you to examine these values.
Don't Forget the Big Library to be Given Away.
It is now on display in our show window. This will be given to the most popular institu-
tion, lodge or school in Norman Votes are free—one for every ten cents you spend; ten for a
