For M«mb r of Constitutional Convention
We *re authorized to announce that
Charlas Burks, of Edmond, will be a
candidate for member of the Consti-
tutional Convention from tie 27th dis-
trict, subject to the action of the dem-
ocratic convention.
Through the solicitation of many
friends I announce myself as a candi-
date for delegate to the constitutional
• convention from the 27th district, sub
ject to the action of th« democratic
party. W, T. S, Hunt.

FOR SHERIFF.
We are authorized to announce that
John T. Lawrence, of OklahamaCity,
will be a candidate for Sheriff o< Ok-
lahoma county, subject to the decision
of the Republican nominating conven-
tion.
It seems that almost all the repub
llcan candidates for the constitutional
convention are afraid to name the
platform which they propose to stand
on at the coming convention. Why
this lack of faith ? Are th*y afraid to
state what they are in favor of and
against?
The republican candidates for the
constitutional convention are between
a sweat and a stew. If fhey declare
in favor of separate schools, separat®
coach and seperate writing rooms,
they will lose the negro vote. If they
do not declare in favor of these very
essential things, they will lose hund-
reds of white votes.

In the course of his speech at
Witcher Saturday, T. B. Ferguson
admitted that Oklahoma had been
run by the trusts and was still being
run by them. He said the reason
was, "that himself and the rest of the
people did not do their duty." Why
did he not make an effort during his
term of office to put a stop to the
book trust methods if he knew they
were corrupting public officials?

Ferguson was governor of Oklahoma
he had no time to make addresses to
his old friends and neighbors in this
community, but now since he has
been nominated for congress by the
republicans of this district, he has
plenty of time to make a little visit
with his old neighbors and incidently
dope. His efforts to make a hit with
the residents of this county will
avail him nothing.
Evidently the governor of Oklahoma
has been forced to ignore the people
and cater to the book trust which
boasts of its powers to make and un-
make governors. Up to date we have
not heard of him ordering the Metho-
dist ministers of this conference to
substiantiate their charges regarding
L. W. Baxter, superintendent of pub-
lic Instruction. He has promised to
d« so. If he does not order an inves-
tigation he is a weakling and should be
despised by all men We believe in
everyone having a square deal, and to
make a square deal the governor is in
duty bound to order th s investigation.

Major McClaugherty, warden of the
United States penitentiary at Leaven
worth, Kansas, believes that fathers
are responsible in most instances for
the boys that becomes criminals, and
says that hundreds of prisoners has
had his sympathy because they were
brought into crime by the neglect of
parents He urges: "Take time
enough to set their feet aright ana
teach them their responsibility to their
fellow men and to their God." He
says his theory is to go after the man
in prison with the school book, the
plane and the hammer, and relates
that in an experience in which he has
discharged 20,000 prisoners, 90 per
cent came to him not knowing how to
do a useful thing with their hands.

In another column will be found the
announcement of W. T, S. Hunt of
Spring Creek township, as a candidate
on the democratic ticket for delegate
to the constitutional convention from
this district. Mr. Hunt is a resident
of the above named township, and is
an extensive farmer and stock raiser.
He has been a resident of the territo-
ry for a number of years and before
coming to this country was a leader in
democratic circles in Illinois, where
he was known as a life long democrat
who never spared time nor money in
the interest of democracy, He is one
of the strongest advocates of the dem-
ocratic principles in this county, and
should his party see fit to nominate
him, he will go out and work for the
best interests of the party and the peo-
ple in general. He would be a credit
to the 27th in the constitutional con-
vention,
