FROM THE WILDERNESS.
Altt-r a fcige of political deliriuni-
trenifiib the nation is ouce uioie gi-t-tint;
it" tt''id of normal sanity.
The hat has leen swept from the
Ting the bolt bioken and the big stick
draped in folds of crepe.
The Raven of Defeat broods upon
the heights of Sagamore Hill while
the shadow of his outstretched pin-
Ions throw the pull ol impending de-
feat oer the headquarters of national
republicanism.
LiKe tome drink crazed Bedlamite
the man who has twice at at the
head of the councils of the nation has
wrought his own destruction and car-
ried to the depths of an eternal ob-
livion the tragic born party wulch
with roc! of iron hag ruled this coun-
try bringing It etep by step to the
verge of a ruin more complete more
chaotic and more terrible than was
the ruin and destruction wrought by
tbe great civil war.
Staggering bank from the blink of
the abyss of destruction upon mich
this nation has been trembling it is
but the natural sequence that the peo-
ple the thinking people those who
know and realize the grave dangers of
the situation by which we are con-
fronted should turn to tbe party
founded by the father 0f American In-
dependence; the party believing that a
government "for the ieople by the
people" 1b the safe government.
It Is but natural that the American
people should turn to the Moses who
-will be named at Baltimore today
1o lead them from the Wilderness to
lift from their shoulders not only the
'cross of gold" but all the crosses ana
burdens which they have carried for
years.
POLITICS AND PARTISANS.
In the Chicago beginning Hadley
was with Roosevelt. In the end he
was with Taft. Now te says smugly:
"1 believe 1 can render more UBeful
public service as a member of the re-
publican party.'
In the Chicago beginning Iil)llette
was neither pro-Roosevelt nor pro-
Tart. Today lie wears neither the
Roosevelt ian polka-dot necktie nor the
Tallian collar. He will continue to
be active in the republican party be-
cause according to hi campaign
manager be believes that through
Hiat party will be carried out the pro-
gressive ideas.
At Chicago Hartley was everybody s
ingratiating friend. liFollette was
.alone save for a little hand of faith-
ful followers. Hadley was Roosevelt's
first advocate on the convention floor.
At night he was in conference with
the Taft managers. laFollette was
the one man who conspicuously refus-
ed to truckle t0 either side. Today
Hadley is with Roosevelt in spirit. In
the flesh he's with Taft.
Today LaFollette is precisely where
he was yesterday with his convic-
tions Lody and soul.
The difference between the two is
(the difference between the partisan
and tbe politician. Hadley is for a
man whose name is Hadley. LaFol-
lette is for a cause whose name is
Progress. St. Ixwis Republic.

JOYFUL FOURTH
SOON BE HERE
GREAT SOCIAL GATHERING OF
THE YEAR. OLD SOLDIERS
WILL SPREAD DINNER
The fourth of July committees
were out today and report that
better encouragement was received
than on any other picnic ever at-
tempted in the county. Advertis-
ing matter was gotten out today to
every post office in Carter Murray
Love Marshall and Johnston coun
ties and also several offices in
Stephens and Garvin and Jefferson
were reached.
The singing convention which will
hold its quarterly meeting with the
Hignight school house people have
been invited to visit Ardmore on
the occasion of the fdurth of July
celebration.
The beBt "band of musicians in
this portion of the state have been
engaged for the occasion and there
is every reason to believe that this
fourth will witness the greatest pic-
nic the town has had for many years
since the time in fact iwhen the
annual barbecues were given.
Ardmore people will attend and
take their baskets. A big spread
will be made on the grounds for
the old soldiers of both armleB and
the camp fires will burn and the
soldiers will have a gathering of
their own. The committee has ar-
ranged to give free transportation
to the old soldiers In uniform.
Athletic prizes will be given.
Pony race prizes will be given.
A prize has been offered to any
couple that will marry on the pic
nic grounds. The oldest couple will
also receive a nice remembrance.
Free wood and water and grass
has been provided for persons iwho
will want to come to the park in
wagons and camp for one or two
nights. Everybody will be good to
everybody else and a general good
time will be had. It will be made
the great social gathering of the
year for the people of southern Ok-
lahoma. The llrewoika have been ordered
and will be here in plenty of time
for the gorgeous display that has
been arranged for.
)
Small Fire Th Morning.
The fire department was called
out about nine-thirty this morning
in response to an alarm turned li
from the residence of B. F. Corlew
on North Washington street.
The blaze originated from a blow
pot left standing through the care-
lesnesB of some plumbers who
were working at the house too near
the woodwork of one of the rooms.
It was gaining good headway when
the firemen arrived but their prompt
action and early arrival on the ncene
prevented the spreading of the
Haines and the fire was extinguish-
ed with small property loss.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank LeGendre have
accepted positions at the Randol ho-
tel. Mr.LeOndre as clerk and Mrs.
LeGendre will have charge of the
dining room. They will be glad to
have their friends call and see them.
It Is now well known that not more
than one case of rheumatism In ten
requires any Internal treatment what-
ever. All that 1 needed Is a free ap-
plication of Chamberlain's Liniment
and massaging the parts at each ap-
plication. Try it and see how quickly
It will relieve the pain and soreness.
Sold by all dealers.
PONY RACING JULY FOURTH.
Athletic Meet Will Also Be of Interest
to the Young Men.
R. W. Rogers of the Ardmore Mule
Hani has been placed In charge ot
the pony races at Lorena Park on
July 4 and 5. All persons who de-
sire to enter their ponies may make
application to him. Mr. Rogers
Btates that the track will be In good
condition that he has assurance"
that some good stock will be on the

sorbing interest to all persons who

Two Sessions Held
There were two sessions of the con-
vention today. The one beginning at
noon was devoted almost entirely to
oratory. All of the speakers predicted
success for the party In the Novem-
ber election and derided both the
Taft and Roosevelt "sections" of the
republican party Tonight the conven-
tion at a session beginning at eight
o'clock began consideration of com-
mittee reports
At all party councils today harmony
was urged upon various factions. In a
further effort lo placate the Bryan
hiterests there was practically a
unanimous decision to make Senator-
elect Ollie James of Kentucky perma-
nent chairman Mr. James is known
as one of the closest friends of tin-
Nebraska n.
Wilson Men's Claims.
Some of the Gov. Woodrow Wilson
supporters were claiming tonight that
sentiment in the big New York dele-
gations was turning toward tnetr can-
didate. It was everywhere agreed that th-
nominee woaild fle an out-and-but
progressive as the party leaders be-
lievo that only In this way can they
hope for success.
The growth of Wilson sentiment
found expression In the convention
tonight in a prolonged demonstration
when his name was mentioned.

T
ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE AT
HARMONY MEETING SELECTS
KENTUCKIAN FOR PLACE.
Baltimore Md. June.ii6. Senator
elect Ollie James of Kentucky at
a harmony meeting of the commit-
tee on permanent organization to-
day was named for permanant chair-
man of the democratic chairman
but Urey Woodson secretary of
the national committee and from
time .immemorial secretary of suc-
ceeding democratic conventions was
defeated for that office by E. E.
Britton a newspaper man from Ra-
leigh N. C.
The choice of Mr. James was un-
animous but the roll was called on
the secretaryship Mr. Britton win-
ning 24 to 18.
It was declared that the choice of
secretaryship had no political sig-
nificance. The committee was In session fo;
an hour. Sentiment crystallized
around Mr. James and a report was
adopted unanimously naming bin
to the convention. Others whose
names were discussed (were Seuatoi
Kern Theodore A. Bell Martin J.
Wade of Iowa Gov. John Burke of
North Dakota and Senator Culber-
son. There was no particular ob-
jection to any of these but James
seemed predestined for the hbnor.
GOT THEIR MONEY'S WORTH.
Two Hours of Roaring Fun at the
Alrdome.
The Frank Comedy company gave
Ardmore the worth of their money
last night.
The play was a success as a mirth
producer from Btart to finish. A
mixing of wives husbands and
homes together with the usually in-
competent policeman who had been
called upon to aid in Unravelling
the tangled skein kept every one
in good humor all evening.
Tonight will witness the production
of the roaring fun-maker "Another
Man's Wife.' It is a certainty that
the house will be taxed to its full-
est capacity for those who spent
such an evening of fun and frolic
last night will tell all their friends
about it and come again themselves.
Tomorrow evening will witness the
feature evening of the week's en-
gagement the production of the
touching heart story "St. Elmo."
From here the company goes to Mc-
Alester where they will play a re-
turn engagement of two weeks.

How to Succssd.
If you want to succeed in this
world you must make your own op-
portunities as you go on. The man
who waits for some seventh wsve to
toss him on dry land will find that the
seventh wave Is a long time a -coming.
You ran commit no greater folly than
to sit by the roadside until someone
comes along and invites you to ride
with him to wealth and Influence.
John B. Gough.
There's the Rule.
"I always make It a practice to let
tomorrow take care of Itself." That's
easy enough but It's forgetting yes-
terday that causes trouble for so man
of us."

Ancient Game Is Chess.
It Is Impossible to state just when
and where chess was born. Back we
may go in the ages but we still find it
existing. We see it painted on Egyp-
tian vases and we find It in the Chi-
nese Books of Wisdom. It has been
ascribed to all kinds of birthplaces
its creator having been at times a
man at times a god. Nothing posi-
tive Is known about It yet the great-
est probabilities seem to point to its
having come from the east.
Dikes Felled a Conquest
The University of Leyden in Hol
land was founded in 1676 as a monu-
ment to tbe gratitude for tbe nation's
deliverance from a foreign enemy. The
Spaniards invaded the Dutch country
in 1574 and laid siege to the town of
Leyden but the people held out and
refused to surrender. The tactful
puncture of one of tbe olkes saved the
nation driving tbe Spaniards away."v

The World's Greatest Sieve.
Aesop probably is one of the most
noted slaves that ever lived. The
fables and stories he told hare de-
lighted mankind for twenty-five hun-
dred years and there is no telling how
much longer the world will oontlnne
to enjoy them. Aesop was so de-
formed that for a long time his Greek
master could not sell hlny Finally
he was sold and the master found
film so wise that he was set free.
Noble Practice.
Let us all resolve first to attain
the grace of silence; second to deem
all fault-finding that does no good a
In; third to practice tbe grace and
virtue- of praise. Harriet Beecher
