momSer of tho Coaititiitiunal ' onvi-nOoti
suriioct to the will of tlie ilomocratic party,
JOHN F KROUTIL.
I hereby announce fnywilf a canili'laU' f"r
mombur of tbo cnn tit«tional cooTPiitH'U miIi-
]act to the will of tin; republican party
DR. V. KUCIIAB
Let tho People Pay.
The democratic party stands
committed to the primary system
of nominating candidates but in
the corning campaign for the con-
stitutional convention, the small
number of candidates may force
the holding of a convention.
In the recent county primary
the candidates were assessed so
ranch each to defray the expense
of holding the primary. There
were enough candidates to make
this plan possible, In the coin-
ing constitutional campaign, it is
not probable thnt thoro will he
very many candidates and if the
plan is adopted of "making the
candidates pay for it" it will
make the cost of a primary elec-
tion fall pretty heavily upon
them.
The Sun and Mail suggests
that in order to tnako the hold-
ing of a primary a certainty, that
a popular subscription ho taken
tip, whenever the constitutional
districts are announced, and thai
ti e township committeemen be
made custodians of the fund. The
primary is tho only correct system
nominating candidates and the
people, tho democratic people,
should not depart from it.
Animal parasites make much
trouble for tho stockmen. The
Oklahoma experiment station fit
Stillwater has tested a great va-
riety of lice-killers and reported
in Bulletin No. T2 which will he
sent free to all who write for it.
Also a bulletin on alfalfa.

tute to till tho place of Ij. (i.

meat, comes from the University

osophy from (he University ol
Virginia. II. (1. Tliorsenburg
who takes the place of Mr. Hue-
lin who was appointed to the
consular service, is a Yale man
holding throe degrees from that
institution, having takon his
doctor's dogreo this Spring. Mr
Tliorsenburg is highly roc-
otuendod by both Dean Wright of

1'hillips of the graduate school
of Yale University. Miss Clara

vjrsity of Chicago, will he one

tory school, teaching lOnglisb

engineering school Mr, ,1. JI
Folgar has boon oloclod to the
position of instructor in niaehiin-
ical engineering. Mr. Folgar
comes from tho Armour institute
of Chicago whoro ho graduated
last year.
The Primary Election Principle.
Guthrie Leader: As far as the
action of the executive committees
of the democratic party in the two
territories can commit the party,
the democrats of the new state
stand committed to the priuciples
of the primary eloctiou law passed
at the last session of the Oklahoma
legislature and known, from it6
its author, as the "liryan l'rimary
Election Law," says the Shawnee
Journal Neither the terms of
this democratic law nor the en-
dorsement of the committees are
sufficient to force tho operation of
this law on counties or districts
within tho new state, but its gen-
eral acceptance by an overwhelm-
ing majority of the party in all
sections as a proper democratic
method of nominating candidates
will undoubtedly result in the ap-
plication of this principle to the
nomination of the lirst democratic
state ticket, candidates for con-
gross, judges and United States
senators.
From a lack of the necessary
party and district machinery the
primary principle may not be
applieilJLin all districts in the se-
lection of the candidates for the
constitutional convention, but it
may bo considered as settled that
the democratic party in the new
state stands at present committed
to tho primary election principle
for the nomination of all ollicors
from constable to United States
senators.
This has been accepted and
adopted as the best party policy in
the principle stales that continue
loyal to tho party of Jefferson and
tho constitution.
Tho primary principle is essen-
tially a democratic principle and
follows closely tho pot idea of
.Jefferson, that in order to insure
tho stability of republican insti-
tutions and tho perpetuity of our
govertnoflt, the rightful sov-
oigtiH, tho people should dele-
gate to others the last possible
part of their sovereignty, and
should on all possible occassions
themselves employ their rights to
parcipitate in tho goverment.
It is needless to say that this
principle has never boen employed
l>y any of the groat political
parties that in the history of our
country have boen arrayed against
the democrats.
Tho piimary principle is not
always responsible for tho nomi-
nation of the host and strongest
men for oflice, but since it is never
enthusiastically supported orprac.
I iced except by tho majority party
in a state or county it has tho ef-
fect of destroying factious within
tho party and of eliminating that
personal leadership and that some-
times and under favorable cir-
cumstances produces the party
boss.
Tho highest achievements of
primary principle can only result
from an educated, wide-awake,
public spirited electorate, trained
to a wise discrimination in politics
and human nature, jealous of its
rights and sovereignties and hon-
est in its convictions and purposes.
Fortunately tho new state has
an intelligent, high-minded and
patriotic people and in its deci-
sion to entrust to tho voters of
tho party tho nomination of its
candidates wo believe that the
democrats are preparing to act
wisely both from a politic and a
patriotic standpoint.
Thoy entor the lists alone as
tho champions of, and as tho real
party of tho people, while the re-
publicans, truo to their principles
>f centralization ami fear of the
people, have concentrated all tho
power of tho constitutional con-
stitutional convention districts,
congressional districts in the
hau ls of the present territorial
committees.
By embracing the primary
principle the democrats have
fairly aligned themselves with
the l>est aspirations of the intel-
ligent voters of both territories.
Through the primaries the voters
are promised personal parcipita-
tion in the groat work of
state building.
The republican organization by
withdrawing the control of its
party still farther from the people
of its faith have created another
"burning issue" for the new
voters in the first camj ai'gn.
Democrats Attention.
Democrats of tho new state
were the first to follow the lead
of Bryan in the manner of solicit-
ing campaign funds. Instead of
going to the corporations for
contributions, and thus obliging
the party to favor them, new
state democracy will go to the
people for the money with which
fo carry on the battle. This
means that what the democratic
party does, will be for tho people
— the only one to whom it is any
way indebted.
Let every democrat in the new
state respond to the appeal for
funds. It is your battle against
the railroads and other corpora
that have bought and paid for the
republican party. Following are
tho resolutions passed at the
democratic committee mooting at
Oklahoma City, Monday, July 31,
l'JOfi:
Tho committee sounded a charge
on tho enemy in passing trie fol-
lowing resolutions:
Hesolved, that while the demo-
cratic party is irreconcilably op-
posed to predatory wealth as such,
it is not opposed to, but stands
for the individuality of tho citi-
zens and all the rights of indiv
idual property, and it holds
absolutely inviolable when law
fully, fairly and honestly acquired
and used.
2. That it is tho policy of the
campaign committee that the
financial committee do not solicit
or accept any campaign funds
whatever from any special or fa
vored interests whether corpor-
ation or othorvvise, which wil
likely seek partial or favored ac
tion before tho constitution! con
vontion inimical to the interest of
tho people as a whole.
ii. That tho secretary of the
committee shall at all times koe[
a correct itemized statement sub-
ject to the inspection of all
proper persons, of all contribu-
tions, showing the various
amounts and sources from which
received,
1. That it shall be the policy
of the finance committee to raiso
the tiecossary and legitimate ex
ponse funds for tho campaign
from among the whole people in
smaller amounts rather than from
a fow individuals in larger
amounts to the end that this may
be in fact, as well as in name, a
light of the people anil democracy
for their right iu tho organic law
of tho now state.

Her good man was ill, and Mrs. Bo-

luxuries her slender purse could afford
for him. When she returned her hands
trembled so with indignation that she
could .hardly untie her bonnet.
"it all cornea o' being poor,' said the
old lady to her husband. "I jiat stop-
ped a minnlt at the Hlehee to tell 'en
as how you wasn't gettin' any better,
and Mrs. Rich said she was sorry, and
wanted me to bring you a bottle of

' Did you bring it?" asked the ailing
man eagerly.
"No; I heard her say it had been
