UNFIT FOR PLACE
li in not customary fur the Times to
take any sides in nominations before
the primaries.
We lielieve In giving every man a
H<|uare ileal in all state an<l other offices,
with one exception, ami that is when
the welfare of the school children of
the state are involved.
In this connection the Ti mi s feels that
the liest material in the state should lie
brought ont for superintendent of slate
schools, aa«l we waut to lie most em
phatic in saying that J. P. Evans, of
Tahlequah, is an unfit man for the
place, and the Republicans should re
member It distinctly.
The Times editor knows whereof he
speaks.
If you don't believe it, look np his
record in Kiowa county, and bis record
as a member of 'lie legislature from
Grant-Alfalfa counties i "Oklahoma
City Times," Sumlay, July Hrd
WHERE IS THE SPLIT ?
"The democratic party is split not
only on state but national issues
Sapulpa Light.
False elation is a stimulant, but its
staying power is limited to the extent
that it lias vanished before advantage
can lie taken of its force. The repub
lican press all over the country is just
now applying this imaginary lialm to
the republican party s open ruptures
It claims the "split " in the demo
cratic parly is widening and a repub
lican victory is certain. Any sensible
mau conversant with the anatomical
construction of she body democratic
knows that there is not a split in it or
f>ven a crack. It is as united in its
several parts as the famed rock of Gib
ralter.
But what about the republican party 1
Never in the history of American poll
tics lias a political part> been in as un
harmonious condition as it is at the
present time. It is a hot lied of op
jKisiiig factions; it is a maelstrom of
contention, a house "divided against
itself" and as sure as the scriptural
quotation is correct the republican
house will fall. Its rottenness has been
seeu iiy the advanced, independent, un
biased thinkers in the party. They
see the inevitable. The greatest leader
the party has ever had since the days
of Lincoln sees it and has encased hiiu
self in an armor of silence.
it exists today only as a big body
jwrou® with rottenness, honneycombed
with aciduous lies and broken promises.
It exists only because it is the kept
mistress of trusts corruptive and inter
est* seltish.

for attorney general, still has his dem
ocraey on straight aud is going forward
in a clean, dignified, manly campaign,
while West and Graham are snapping
and quarreling and peeling each ether
like two dogs lighting over a bone, for
the succession to the office. Neither
wants to be jarred loose from their
jobs which tliey have held since stale
hood. They are weakening the demo-
cratic party, which is responsible for
them and their career, diminishing the
chances for democratic success at *he

of the enemy. The party can rid
itself of these two disturbers and per-
petual office seekers and thus clean up
this whole deplorable affair by casting
them aside ami centering ou McKey, a
bright, clean, capable lawyer and a
bulk democrat.
NORMAL
SCHOOL NOTES
There are main teachers pursuing
studies ai the Normal this summer.
Teachers from six states are enrolled.
There are sixteen counties of this state
represented, which shows what a large
area the Normal is drawing from. For
the most i>art the teachers here are
studying and are going to get good cer
titicates. Some are going lo apply tor
state certificates and some for county
certificates. Home will get Normal
credits as well as credits for certificates.
Only two weeks remain for study be-
fore the examination and some pretty
hard work is lieing done by the stu
dents.

grandmother told you."—Sun.

Also the story your grandfather told
you. Don t you remember the story f
You were sitting in front of your hum
ble home when he told it. He told
you of days gone by when all this
beautiful country belonged to jour
people. He told you of valleys green
with corn nodding in the breo/.e, of the
lowing of cattle winged in ou the
breete of the evening, of the whirr of
the partridge wings and the gobble of
the turkey on the ridges. The story
made your \omig heart throb and you
asked him to tell you more.
Then he told you how your country
was wrested from you by the power
vested in a republican administration
He told you how a horde of federal
officials appointed by a republican ad
ministration overran your country; he
told you how fee mad marshals seized
ou trumped up charges, the persons of
his neighbors and friends aud cast them
into prison and confiscated their pos
sessions.
Do you remember. Cherokee*, the
story your grandmother told you of the
long agonising days and nights of
waiting and watching of the tears
shed aud prayers said when your father
or uncle were iu hiddiug to escape
death at the hands of unprincipled vil

the siory your grandparents told yout
The republican party is not satisfied
with shifiting the bulk of the profits earn
ed by the sweat of labor, to the coffers 1
of the rich, but they are after the small
savings of the poor to send into the
money centers. The provisions of the
postal savings bank bill can be of no
possible benefit to the masses as it pio-
vides that deposits made ill the postal
bunk shall be deposited in state and
national banks. It would lie just as
easy for the original depositor to de-
posit his savings in a state or national
bank and not put the burden on the
postmaster Then the banks are re
quired to purchase bonds as security.
Five per cent of all deposits is to lie
held by U. S treasurer and thirty per
cent to lie invested in government
lionds and when directed by the presi-
dent, the remaining sixty-five per cent
is to lie invested in government bonds.
Now the only place to buy government
bonds is in Wall street This postal
savings bank bill seems to be equally
as oppressive as the Aldrich-Cannon
tariff It creates a direct pipe line
from the pockets of the masses to the
vaults of Wall street. This eternai
grafting of the people by the interests,
aided by the republican party is a mon-
strous wrong It is hideous and abouii
nable, It seems impossible for the re-
publican party to enact any law in fa
vor of the people. They start a bill
with a great hue aud cry of what a
beneficent thing it will be for the dear
common people and when the thing is
finally enacted into a law it is found

To The Democracy
Of Cherokee County
Fellow Democrats:
Not having the time or money to
make an extensive canvass, as I would
like to do, so that 1 cculd see and talk
with you personally, I take this method
of announcing myself as a candidate
for Superintendent of Education Chero-
kee County, Subject to the action of
the Democratic Primary, August 2nd,
1910, and earnestly solicit your support.
Fellow Democrats, in asking for this
office, I realize the fact that I am ask-
ing for one of ihe most imuortant offices
in the county. One in which, if its
duties are properly discharged reaches,
your home life as perhaps no other
county officer does It is pre eminently
the duty of the County Superintendent
of education to see that your children,
the light of your home, receive the ed-
ucational advantages that are justly
due them.
Uuder the state compulsory law you
are compelled to seud children between
the ages of 8 and 16, to school three
months out of each school year.
Your present ayerage length of term
does not permit you to do this without
a great inconvenience to yourself, as
you need their help on the farm.
I heartily favor longer terms, effici-
ent teachers, and a more complete sys-
tem of gradation
Give the children in the rural schools
the advantages of graded school work.
Close gradation will when other
teachers are tmployed, or by moving
into another district, save the child
from continually going over the same
work, but euable him to begin each
time where he left off, thus saving a
great deal of time.
If elected to this office I shall visit
the schools as often as the law requires,
and more often if my work permits
I purpose to personally inspect the
work of the teacher and pupil, and offer
suggestions as the necessity may re-
quire.
I shall work for the co-operation of
teacher, pupil and patron, for the more
harmoniously these three important
factors work, the more successful your
schools will he.
I favor a less number and more uni-
form system of text books, but more
thoroughness of the ones pursued. A
child's mind should not be burdened but
given a reasonable amouut of work
which he can comprehend.
Fellow Democrats, I do uot come
to you an inexperienced aspirant to this
office, but a school mau with >ears of
varied experience.
1 am a graduate of an accredited high
school, of the State University of Ar-
kansas, of a Commercial school and at
present hold both Government and
Comity first grade certificates. I have
had twelve'consecutive years of school
work, the past nine years in teaching
and supervising. These have been'
from eight to ten and one half months
of each year.
I have attended the Normal schools
of this county the past eight years.
My home and all my interests are in
Cherokee county, my heart is in this
work, and if elected I pledge myself to
faithfully discharge the duties of my
office, and work for the upbuilding of
the public schools of our county. 1
trust that I shall have the pleasure of
meeting you personally, but if not I ask
for your earnest, careful and intelligent
consideration August 2nd, 1910.
Yours for good schools,
L. O. BROWN.
