OUR OWN CAMPAIGN
The campaign in Oklahoma will end
on the night of the fourth of August.
The contest is so warm that it will
not end before the last ballot Is cast.
There are some peculiar features that
enter into the campaign that make
it absolutely impossible for any man
to guess what the outcome will be. R.
L. Williams of Durant at one time had
almost the solid strength of the state
behind him he was the only man who
entered early Into the campaign and
the press and all others who like to
be with a winner entered his band
wagon and took a seat. Mr. Williams
began his campaign with many vit-
riolic attaeks. Flushed with his prom
ised success he felt that he could
trample men under his feet. He built
up a man of straw which he called a
political machine and began to la
bast it. He lambasted until he made
many enemies. He acted like a man
who has been used to controlling a lot
of tenants down in southern Oklahoma
Take the man with a few children and
one or two ponies and no funds and
he can be bossed because he can't help
himself. The man who gets in the
habit of doing this kind of bossing
ruins himself as a boss of freemen be
cause these fellows can't be bossed
when they enter the sacred precincts
of; the voting box. The Williams
strength is fading away but whether
enough of it will leave him to defeat
him cannot be ascertained. Slumps
however usually go in a hurry when
fhey start.
J. B. A. Robertson is on the hori-
zon now and many persons are talk-
ing him as a probable nominee. Mr.
Robertson is a man who always has
his lightning rod up for office.. He
enters every campaign he is an ap-
plicant every time an appointment is
to be made and has of his own voli-
tion put himself in the class of the
chronic office seeker. He was not
even third choice of a majority of
voters in his home county for con-gressman-at-large.
CHAS WEST IS MAKING THE
MOST UNIQUE CAMPAIGN IN THE
STATE. HE CAME WITH A PLAT-
FORM TELLING OF THE GOOD
THINGS DEMOCRACY HAS ACCOM-
PLISHED FOR OKLAHOMA.
WHETHER HE IS NOMINATED OR
NOT HE HAS THE RESPECT OF
EVERY DEMOCRAT FOR HIS UN-
TIRING AND ABLE DEFENSE OF
THE DEMOCRACY OF THE STATE.
HE IS THE MOST BITTERLY HATED
MAN IN THE STATE BY THE
RAILROADS AND BY THE OIL
MONOPOLY. EVERY EFFORT HAS
BEEN MADE TO BELITTLE HIS
PLATFORM AND RUIN HIS
CHANCES FOR THE NOMINATION.
WHETHER THE PEOPLE WILL
LISTEN TO THE CAMPAIGN OR
NOT CANNOT BE TOLD. PUBLICI-
TY HAS ITS POWER. PUBLICITY
AGAINST A maim can weaken start such rumors do so for the pur-

GENERAL SINCE STATEHOOD.
HAD HE BEEN AN ENEMY OF THE
PEOPLE THE VOTERS WOULD
I
HAVE LEFT HIM IN THE LAST
CAMPAIGN.
After the fourth of August the dem-
ocrats will turn their attention to the
holding of a state convention to en
dorse the action of the voters at the
primary and to adopt a platform. That
platform will set out the good things
that Oklahoma democracy has accom-
plished and will recommend the party
with its principles to the voters at the
fall election. When that platform of
endorsement is written It will be a
duplicate of the West platform in his
campaign now. Democrats are going
to consider this matter before their
ballots are cast.
The republican spell binders are
now ready to take the stump against
democracy this fall. Their speeches
have already been written for them
by Bob Williams by Robertson and
by some of the members of the last
legislature. The attacks made upon
democracy by democrats themselves
will be used to weaken the party in
November.
In the State of Oklahoma spellbind-
Ing politicians have ceased to receive
applause from patriotic citizens for
their abuse of their fellowman no
matter whether he is an opponent or
not.
The Ardmorelte has been persist-;
ently and consistently fighting for the
cause of democracy. If we did not
believe the men of our own party and
the principles of our own party were
better then we might Join hands with
these gentlemen in their campaign
against democrats. But we look to the
things which democracy has done and
measure the party by its deeds. The
two-cent fare law is a reality cor-
poration taxes have been doubled
schools have been built and despite a
series of hard years since statehood
Oklahoma has laid the foundation
for a magnificent state.
We have absolute faith in the ulti-
mate choice of the people. Men are
good Judges of other men and we are
going to be found after the fourth of
August in the heat of the campaign
for our party.
Progressive democracy has success-
fully withstood the onslaughts of re-
publicanism socialism goldbugism
progressive republicanism and today
the federal government is In the
hands of this old party and men who
have been occupying seats with the
mighty have retired to the private
walks of life and laws are being
passed that equalize humanity in a
country founded upon the principle
that all men are equal.
We would rather be a humble dem-.

O
ARDMORE IS INTERESTED
The corporation commission ordered
the owners of the Ardmore gas mains
to upend several thousands of dollars
to build a line to the llealdton field
to supply the inhabitants of this city
with gus. If the extension was not
niudo the charter of the gas company
was to be revoked thejr Ardmore
franchise waif to be taken away from
them and tiieir property rights de
stroyed
That in a power the commission
seems to have. At least it made good
In this event.
One of the best informed oil scouts
in the field recently made the asser
tion that Ardmore would be as poorly
supplied with gus the coining winter
as it was lust winter. The remark was
overheard by another field man and
he hi Id there was a chance for the
pressuro to be so low that other fuel
would have to be resorted to
A gas expert who was in the fields
some weeks ago stated that enough
gas went to waste tho three days lie
was In the field to tupply Ardmore
bountifully for a period of one full
i year.
If the commission orders men to
(-peiid money to uiuke extensions under
threat of forcing them to lose what
they already have It certainly does
have the fight to Issue an order that
will conserve the gas.
Field excitement Is gone now oper
ators are somewhat more sane it will
he easier to get results and from this
time on there should by all means be
a strict conservation of gas in the
Peld. There Is gas enough hi that field
to make Ardmore a city of 25000 peo
ple if there had never been a barrel
of oil found. This city is interested In
conserving that gas.

ECHO OF JOE CANNON
Some months ago United States Sen
ator T. P. Gore Introduced a bill in
the United States senate providing for
federal court clerks to he located at
oilier places in the eastern district
of Oklahoma besides Muskogee. Un
der the terms of the bill a clerk was
to ho located at McAlesler Hugo
(.'hickasha and Ardmore and possibly
at tome other places. The object of
the bill wus to save attorneys and
litigants the great expense of making
frequent trips to Muskogee and to
bring justice nearer the door of every
citizen. The bill passed the senate as
we remember it but when it reached
tho house Joe Cannon secured its de-
feat. While the senator is in Ardmore to
morrow night we hope he may give
us the status of that bill. When the
new federal building Is completed
here it would please us very much to
see a room set apart and occupied by
a fideial court clerk.
of the county and I cannot do my
own interests tny good without bring-
ing the benefits to sll taxpayers alike
In othr words my Interests are your
interests and your interests are my
Interests.
I desire to express my gratitude
to those who have said good things
for me in this race. Your friendship
will never b9 forgotten and after the
election I shall prove my gratitude
by devoting) my best energies and bus-
iness ability to the Interests of our
county.

DOWN IN TEXAS
The primary election will be held In
Texas next Saturday. Many Texans re-
side in this section of Oklahoma and
much interest is manifested in the re
sult of that contest. The two candl
dates are Ball and Ferguson. Ball is
a pro and Ferguson is an anti. Fer
guson has succeeded in leaving the
anti part of bis campaign to a few
leaders and he has built up a platform
on Issues that appeal to the farmers
and he has gone to the sticks with his
campaign. Ball may be a greater
man intellectually but Ferguson has
outwitted him in the campaign. Evep
money is being wagered on the two
men but the greater number of former
Texans who reside here are of the
opinion that Ferguson will be the
nominee.
O
All patriotic home loving and hu
manity loving citizens should show
their disapproval of villlflcatlon and
abusive language indulged in by any
political spellbinder by quietly walk
ing off and leaving him alone with his
hobby. There is plenty to say about
the good things of life and the princi
ples that we endorse rather than to
take up the time allotted them by
abusing others. "Let him that Is with
out sin cast the first stone" and no
others
