It was announced in the dem-
ocratic convention, held in this
city last Saturday, that the
Sparks Review had flopped to
the opposition. The news did
not create any great consterna-
tion among the republicans,
however, as it has been known
for some time that the editor of
that influential (?) sheet was"on
the fence" notwithstanding the
big, indignant denial he made a
few weeks ago when this paper
accused him of leaning in that
direction. Another caseof'the
man with the barrel."

Editor Newhouse of the;

publican, though a luke-warm
one, has experienced a change
of heart, so to speak, and will j
henceforth conduct hi.s paper in
the interests of democracy, for j
the reason, he says, that he be-]
lieves in the constitution and
the people who made it. It has
been whispered, sub rosa, how-
ever, that "the man with a bar-
rel" had visited Prague and that
Newhouse had "seen" him.

This is one of the very best
and mest reliable remedies
we know of for treating suc-
cessfully and without bad ef-
fects all sorts of coughs,
colds and bronchial affec-
tions. It is a combination of
ingredients which compose a
remedy recommeded highly
by the medical profession as
an expectorant of rare value,
especially in cases of chronic
bronchitis and in all ordinary
coughs and colds. It is a
remedy which is used by
many of the best families in
this locality and gives uni-
versal satisfaction wherever
used. Just as safe to give to
children as it is to adults.
It is absolutely harmless and
the most effective cure.

Initiative and Referendum May Tie]
Lip the Location of VII Public
Stale Institutions For Years
to Coine.
Guthrie, Okla., March 31.—The L
prospect that the practical opera-
tion of the initiative and referendum !
may tie up the location ot all publii ,
institutions in the new st.rte for >
years is now beginning to worry tin-
constitutional convention leaders,
who had not thought of that con-
tingency until it was called to their j
attention recently by some of the
towns which would be directly
affected, and it now seems quite
possible that an effort will be made
when the convention re-assembles
to secure the adoption of a plan of
locating public institutions which
will oviate this difficulty.
Under the initiative and referen-
dum provisions of thi* constitution,
a 5 per cent petition can compel the
refering to the people of any law or
any provision of it. There would
always be enough voters dissatisfied j
with the location of any public in-
stitution to secure the necessary 5
percent petition withoutany trouble.
This would then hold the matter
over until the next general election,
almost two years laterunless a spec-
ial election Should be called by the
legislature.
Even when the matter did come
to a vote it would require a majority
of all the voters to ratify such a
law, and in any case where there
had been' a close contest between
two or more cities' for the location
of any institution it would bealmost
impossible for the one named by j
the legislature to receive a majority
vote.
It is pointed out that under such [
an arrangement Oklahoma might:
not be able to secure a penitentiary, |
insane asylum or any other institu-1 r .
tion of the sort for which there1 Lincoln «>unty met ln convention
would be lively competition, for ten at tlle coun house in this city to
arrange for the coming campaign
and to nominate delegates to the
congressional convention to be held
at Enid on the 24th of April.
The meeting was called to order
in the morning and a temporary
organization formed, but on ac-
count of the small attendance

The L'nterrified Meet
Last Saturdav the democrats of
or fifteen years. To cure tliis trou-
ble it has been suggested that the
convention should specifically ex-
empt public building locations from
the operations of the initiative and
referendum, and itself draw up a
plan for the settlement of the rues-
tion, providing possibly that in. -
case such locations were submitted turther °Periltl°ns were Postponed

their opponents.
"Friday
sumed.
A committee on resolutions read
a set of pre-arranged resolutions
which were adopted. The document
contained the usii'al amount of dope,
condemning the republican party
(which, by the way, never hurt the
party) and endorsed the candidacy
of Judge Rittenhouse for the su-
preme bench and also the candi-
dacy of Roy Hoffman for the U. S.
senate. The delegates were in-
structed for Judge Eagle ton for
congressman. .
When the committee to appoint
delegates reported the inevitable
fight started, it seeming that some
who had aspired to be a delegate
had been left off the list, and for
the best part of an ho\tr chaos
reigned. The matter was finally
settled by the convention agreeing
to place all the aspirants on the
delegation.
A large number of candidates for
various county, district and state
offices were present and each given
time to exploit his particular fitness
for the office he coveted. On ac-
count of the time taken up with the
delegate fight it was found that
there would not be time enough for
all the "plum hunters" to speak so
a meeting was called for the even-
ing, at which time every man who
wanted an office was given an op-
portunity to talk. This meeting
was also slimly attended.
NOTES
The colored man "got his" as
usual.
John J. Davis, of Prague, was
chairman.
Delegate Sandlin was there with
his official hand shake.
The only motion Bro. Smith, of
the Tribune, made \vas turned
down.
The democratic—Methodist—-pro-
hibition cditorof the Stroud Journal
acted as secretary—and never a
blush.
The delegates were greatly pleased
when it was announced that the.
Sparks Review, the Meeker Herald
and the Prague News had flopped
to their ranks. Take 'em boys,
you're welcome.
Roy Hoffman seemed to be the
most popular man with the dele-'
gates. Whenever his name was
mentioned it occasioned a burst of
applause which would have greatly
pleased that gentleman1 had he been
present.
The republicans present expected
to hear something in the way of
oratory when Judge Eagleton was
called to the floor, but they were
sadly disappointed. Either the
judge was "rattled" at the great
honor conferred upon him or the
constitution dose he had swallowed
had left a bad taste in his mouth,
anyway his talk was a failure.
