No matter what a man's
occupation or social position, no
matter what his creed, his color,
or the section of the country
from which he comes, if he is an
honest, hard working man who
tries to do his duty toward his
neighbor and toward the country,
he can rest assured that he will
have in Mr. Taft the most up-
was meant to be. Sign Guthrie s
petitions for the initative election
on the question, and in the words
of Guthrie: "help to right a
wrong."

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S
TRIBUTE TO TAFT.
I feel that the country is in-
deed to he congratulated upon
the nomination of Mr. Taft. I
have known him intimately for
many years and I have a peculiar
feeling for him, because through-
out that time he worked for the
same object, with the same pur-
poses and ideals.
I do not believe there could be
found in all the country a man so
well fitted to be President
He is not only absolutely disin-
terested and upright, but he has
the widest acquaintance with the
nation's needs, withoutand with-
in, and the broadest sympathies
with all our citizens.
He would be as emphatically a
President of the plain people as
Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself
would be freer from the least
taint of demagogy, the least ten-
dency to arouse or appeal to class
hatred of any kind.
He has a peculiar and intimate
knowledge of and sympathy with
the need of all our people- of the
farmer, of the wage earner, of
the business man, of the property
has treated the capital matter
In the first place, the people
of this state have never been
quite satisfied that Oklahoma
City really had a majority of the
votes in the election, lhe party
vrho was chief executive of the
state at that time had deter-
mined that Oklahoma City should
be the capital; that Guthrie
should be rebuked because of
alleged lese majeste toward the
chief executive and so Oklahoma
ficiency in office counts for a
great deal more than it formerly
did. Above and beyond all that
no truer Republican ever lived
than Bird McGuire. Never has
he deserted his party and he is
the kind that never will so long
as it is right. Personally we have
the warmest admiration and re-
spect for senator Hickam: but
this is going to be a McGuira
year in the first district, and he
will be nominated and elected.
City won (?) the capital. That all It has been reported in the press

City is just as anxious to be rid1
of the capital as the few real es-
tate boomers and politicians were
to get it for Oklahoma City. But
above and beyond all that, Okla-
homa City has not kept taith
1 with the people and in our
opinion the election will show a
decided majority for Guthrie this
of the game. Ponca City was not
in it from start to finish, al-
though some good individual
players had the task of keeping
some interest afloat. As a team
they failed to connect. They
were a nice bunch of girls and
took their defeat good-naturedly.

Idea
GUTHRIE S ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATION
One of the Biggest and Best
Celebrations ot the Kind Ever
Held in Oklahoma
Guthrie sure did herself proud j
at the big celebration of the open-
ing of Oklahoma last Monday.
The stirring scenes of twenty-
three years before, were brought
vividly before the eyes of thou-
sands of people.
The moving picture machines
were on hand to record the hap-
penings of the early day rush tor
homes and these will be made
and exploited all over the country
by moving pictures.
There were crowds of people
from all over the original Okla-
homa. Crescent City and Perkins
both sent brass bands and with
the local musicians there was an
abundance of music all day.
North Logan County was in
the swim from start to finish.
Marion Crow, the distinguished
farmer and socialist ol Rosehill
township, was there with a
boomer wagon that sure took the
cake as well as the prize. To ac-
curately describe this turnout
would be a hard task. The wagon
had the regular accompanying j
properties of the "mover wagon j
and had a two wheeled cart
hitched on behind in which a cow
was loaded. The wagon was filled
with "kiddos," all Marion's
grandchildren, and all of whom
seemed to be enjoying the occa-
sion immensely. Many who
watched the parade expressed
admiration at the ingenuity dis-
played in the arrangement of
this boomer wagon, and ex-
pressed the belief that Mr. Crow
would win the prize, and sure
enough he did. The first prize
was a $45 set of harness. Marion
won it. The second prize was
won by a Mr. Lowder. of
Cashion, which called for a $22
set of harness.
All in all it was a great day
and enjoyed by the thousands
who came to Guthrie for the oc-
casion.
All lodges and societies of
Guthrie joined in the parade.
Every line of business in
Guthrie was represented in the
parade by a float or some exhibit
appropriate to the line. The Daily
Leader had a float on which a
newspaper and job plant was in
operation and the way in which
that shop was being "run" called
forth much laughter from the
crowds.
The parade was estimated at
over two miles in length and was
well planned and managed.
Back to the Coast.
Mr. and Mrs. Lome Hake and
baby started Tuesday evening on
their return to Arlington, Wash-
ington. In our mention last week
of the visit of Mr. and Mrs.
Hake, we stated that they would
probably look about here for a
location. This was their intention
when they left the coast, but af-
ter they had visited here in the
