President Wilson win the war, helping to curb the mad ac-

real democrat. *
So, then, if the democrats really want a man on whom
Secretary they can center, let them pick E. B. Howard and stand solid-
Ammuiii Secretary ly behind him. If they do so there will be no fear of Wal-

real democrat as senator from Oklahoma.
Howard already has the first, sixth, seventh and eighth
districts virtually grabbed and is gaining strength every day.
Despite all the hue and cry of the Tulsa World, we cannot
help but believe that when the votes are counted on the night

jority in the race for United States senator.

NOW—LET'S GO!
Now that the bond election is over, let Nowata county
citizens put their shoulders to the wheel and help build up
one of the most progressive counties in the state. While
there was considerable ill-feeling aroused among some in-
dividuals during the campaign, let us now forget our differ-
ences ar.d remember that we are all one and lighting for a
common cause. ,
There was never a brighter prospect for Nowata county
as a whole than there is at the present time. With the
outlook good for a bumper crop, with a number of deep test
wells going down and a general air of activilj in the oil
fields, with the building of the roads*opening up avenues of
labor to Nowata county mun, and business conditions in gen-
eral on the up-grade, there is no denying the fact that a bet-
ter day for Nowata county is just around the corner.
The citizenship of Nowata county is made up of men
and women who do things, who have the vision, and who be-
lieve their county is the best in the world. Hei'e they have
builded their homes and here many expect to pass their de-
clining years. With every citizen of the county working to-
ge her. there is not’ ing under the sun that they cannot ac-
complish, and the Star hopes to see Nowata county grow
by leaps and bounds until it is not only one of the best, but
the BEST county in Oklahoma.
Let's get together, bury the hatchet, and boost for No-
wata county—not one particular .spot—but every part of the
county. The man who lives in the remotest part of the
county is as much interested in the welfare and develop-
ment of the county as is the man who lives at the county seat
or at some other community, and he should do his part in
helping to build up his section of the county, iust the same
as every other man should help to build up his section.
Let’s go—it can be done!
OKLAHOMAN PICKS MASON
The dDaily Oklahoman, in an article in Saturday’s paper,
says that Charles W. Mason of Nowata, is leading the other
candidates in the race for Justice of the State Supreme Court.
The article states that “in the first district the race for the
democratic nomination seems to he Mason against the field,
which is composed of James S. Davenport of Vinita, A. C'.
Towne of Miami, league endorsee; John B Turner of Clio
teau, A. C. Brewster of Pryor, and J. H. . arman of Sallisaw,
a member of the supreme court commission.
The strongest contenders against Mason are believed to be
Davenport, who is a former congressman: Turner, who war-
a member of the first supreme court, but who has been in-
active in politics for several years, and Brewster, who Is a
district judge, but Mason is believed to be leading.
The three districts where candidates are to be selected
to fill out unexpired terms are the second, third ami the
eighth. Charles W. Mason of Nowata, .justice, from the first
district, was appointed to succeed the late Judge John H.
Pitchford, but the candidates elected in this district will be
for the full six-year term, as Judge Pitchford’s term would
expire at this time.
Mason is the only appointed justice who is a candidate
to succeed himself.”
Being the most conscientious office holder in the per-
forming of his duties as Justice of the Oklahoma state su-
preme court has placed Judge Charles W. Mason in the lime-
light all over the country and there is no question but what
the future holds much for him. Fifteen months ago when
Mason was appointed Justice, the Oklahoma state supreme
court was several years behind in its work and without any
prospect of any quicker work being done than had been the
case for many years past-
Ever active, and willing to work day and night if neces-
sary to complete all work assigned to him. Judge Mason,
with the co-operation of the other members of the state su-
preme court, within a few short months had cleared the
docket, disposing of every case possible. This is a record
ihat has never been duplicated in any state of the union and
has resulted in the saving of thousands upon thousands of
dollars to the taxpayers of the Sooner state.
Judge Mason has hiade good in not only the supreme
court, but in every office he has held. His first office wa3
that of city attorney of Nowata and this he filled to the com-
plete satisfaction of every citizen of Nowata-
Following this Judge Mason was elected Countv Attor-
ney of Nowata county and during his tenure of office made
an enviable record.
In June, 1919, following his discharge from the army,
Judge Mason was appointed Judge of the Xowata-Rogers
counties judicial district. He was a candidate to succeed
himself in 1922 and was elected to this office by a majority
of 3582 votes. Each and every precinct in Nowata and
Rogers counties gave the judge a 2 to 1 vote over his oppo-
nent at that time.
During the past few days reports have been received at
Judge Mason’s headquarters here from every town in the
ten counties comprising this district and all point to huge ma-
jorities for Mr. Mason. Democratic leaders at Miami, Vin-
ita, Pryor, Wagoner, Tahlequah, Grove, Westville and Salli-
saw, which represent the largest towns in the district, are
very optimistic over Judge Mason’s candidacy and predict
that when the ballots are counted at the close of the primary
election August 5th, that Mr. Mason will win the nomination
by at least 5.000 votes. The great confidence which the
people hold in Judge Mason is responsible for the growing
tide in his favor. He has proved his ability times almost
without number and this is the reason for the active cam-
paign being made in his behalf by hundreds of unpaid
workers.
School huiltiings in Nowata eoun-
V that will not pass a sanitation test
will bo kept closed until they are
able to pass such a test, T. F. Dux is,
county superintendent of instrut
lion, informed a .representative of
The Star yesterday. Mr. Davis lias
received an order from the state
health officer to make a thorough in-
spection of each and every school i:,
Nowata County and in the event any
one of them has not met the require
meats of the s'au board of heahK
they wiil not be allowed to open.

trict refuse ‘to place their school

BOOKS FOR COUNTY
Requisitions were filed yesterday
for 15,000 free school books for the
grade schools of Nowata County by
Superintendent of Public Instruction
T. F. Davis and these will be receiv-
ed here by the time school opens the .
first week in September. Two dis- [
tricts in the county will not receive !
free text books because the school
boards have refused to file surety
bonds. The pupils in these districts
must buy their own books and their
parents must pay taxes Tor the books
which other districts are getting free 1

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Star is authorized to announce
the following candidates for the res-
pective offices subject to the action
of the primaries to be held August 5,
1924:
DEMOCRATIC
For Justice of Supreme Court, First
Judicial District—
C. W. MASON, (rc-clection)
JAMES S. DAVENPORT
For United States Senator—

JOE B. COBB.
THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.
The Tulsa World, owned by Eugene Lorton, who is mak-
ing the republican race for the United States senate, is giv-
ing-Jack Walton a great amount of free advertising those
days, in the hope that Walton will win the democratic nomi-
nation and thus make “easy sailing” for Mr. Lorton in the
genera] election.
While Walton's strength in some parts of the state is
not to be discounted, the Star does not believe that be has
the slightest chance of winning the nomination. It has been
estimated that ninety per cent of the crowds which hear him
are composed of those who go out of idle curiosity. Wal-
ton’s votes will come from the gun men. the Reds and the
illiterate Certainly no sane, respectable «itizen of Okla-
homa will vote for the man who in a few short months brought
more disgrace to the state of Oklahoma than could have been
heaped upon it in twenty years. The majority of the.
people of Oklahoma, we believe, are too intelligent and have
too much respect for themselves to vote tor a man who ser-
iously considered opening the doors of the penitentiary and
state reformatory to turn loose upon a civilized state the
horde of desperadoes and criminals confined therein, befor*
he was stopped in his orgy of hellishness by the state legis-
lature.
The democrats have a man in the senatorial rac$ whom
they can center on if they will, and only one whom we be-
lieve is rightfully entitled to the support of real, honest-to-
goodness Jeffersonian democrats. That man is E. B. How*
aa*d of Tulsa, who has never failed to support a democratic
measure, who has never failed to answer the call of his
