TINCH VICTIM OF
A DOUBLE CROSS
Republican caucuses were held in
the various wards of the city last
Tuesday to select delegates to the
county convention which gathering
will select delegates to the stale con-
vention, where a candidate for pres-
idential elector/will he nominated
and delegates at largee chosen to th- 1
national republican convention, and
a national republican committeeman
selected.
From all appearances the latter
seems to be the big bone of conten- 1
lion. Four years ago the Cherokee
county bunch were practically kick-
ed out of the Tulsa convention for ,
the selection of delegates to the na- I
tlonal convention because they were '
on the progressive side of the fence !
and favored the nomination of Rook* •
velt for president, and. then as now
Rig Jim Harris of Wagoner, was a
candidate for national committee-
man. Metaphorically speaking, Har-
ris is for "peace at any price"
which he terms "harmony." The
Tahlequah Sun editor is fcr Harris,
because Harris is for harmony, and
has been giving him unstinted sup-
port in the Sun. To all appearances
this is a Harris bailiwick and Tinch
was a canddate for delegate to the
county convention to be held today
but for some reason, probably a fear
of a double cross of some kind, the
republicans of the first ward of the
city turned him down. However, we
understand, the doors of the con-
vention will stand ajar and he can
enter as a spectator and view the

Republican leaders say they are
forced to admit that such a move on
the part of the Wilson admlnistra
tion would be a "master stroke" on
the eve of the presidential election
and that no republican could oppose
the plan. ,
The two principal objects that in-
terest all statesmen in the plan is
that the move would prevent any
"stretching" of the Monroe doctrine
and at the same time make this na-
tion secure in that all chance for i
foreign power establishing a naval
base on the Pacific coast would b.>
a future impossibiliu.
PUNCTURE THE CAN
Who would have thought that the
tin cans containing rain water are
health? The expert malaria inves-
tigators of the U. S. Health Service
have found however that discarded
tin cans containig reain water are
breeding places for the mosquito
which is the sole agent in spreading
malaria. A hole in the bottom of
thee empty can might have resulted
in the saving of a human life. Cer-
tainly it would have assisted in pre-
venting a debilitating illness. Empty
tn cans have no business about the
premises anyway, but if we must
so decorate our back yard3, let's see
to it that the can has a hole in the
bottom.
