THE OUTLOOK.
As usual there is a large number of candidates patriots asking
the honor and emoluments which belong to the various offices, pre-
cinct, county, state and national, the nominees of the respective
parties to be decided upon at the August primaries and finally elected
or defated at the following November elections.
There are, already, an unusually large number of aspirants for ,
every office within the gift of the people. Seventy men have to date
announced for county offices; and in these this paper is especially^
interested.
Our interest consists first, in our desire, as citizens of this county,
to see honest, clean and competent men elected to every office. The
people are often too indifferent in the selection of men to serve them
in official capacity.
The right of suffrage is a great privilege and the intelligent exer-
cise of it a grave responsibility. We, the people, are responsible for
those we elect to office and we fail in the honest discharge of our duty
when, because of prejudice or whatever reason, vote for immoral,
unworthy and incompetent men.
This paper is non-partisan, especially in local and county affairs,
but zealously interested in the election of CLEAN and COMPE-
TENT men to fill those offices.
We regard it our duty to protect the public from impositions in
the way of unworthy men who seek your support for office.

Mr Spain, the present Sheriff of Oklahoma County, 111 announc-

of the county fully appreciate the service* he has rendered them in i

of work at the early age of 19, remaining until the age of 35. I1is| the dark re

the mastering of the details of his profession he was promoted to
I Passenger C onductor. From this position to Trainmaster, and at j
this early age he was promoted to the position of As*istant Division
I Superintendent of one of the greatest railway >ystems in the west.)
This only served to show that there was 110 misplaced confidence on
the part of his employers when placed in positions of trust.
Mr. Spain has been a resident of Oklahoma County for the past i
fourteen years, and during this time he has built up a large acquaint-
ance among the citizens of the County and is held in high esteem by
all who know him, as an officer of the law and acitizen.
W hen Mr. Spain was elected to the office of Sheriff he sur-
rounded himself with an efficient corps of as>istants who have always

Two Questions.
Will you please tell me the bent
thing to use In polishing a brass bed
stead? What Is the most stylish good
(or spring suits? MH8. O.
Neither one of your questions come
under my department, but as I always
dislike to disappoint a correspondent
I will say that I was told not to at-
tempt to polish a brass bed, but to
wipe it carefully with a soft cloth.
Most brass Is lacquered and only
needs care; It In the process or time
the brnss wears off It should be re-
lacquered.
Whipcords, lightweight broadcloths,
serges, shepherd u checks, all sorts ot
novelty suitings, are being worn;
also Ottoman silks and tufTetas made
Into suits.

MaTlr, Commissioner of Health,
State of Oklahoma, issue of Aug-
ust 1, 19U9, which says:
"It is but just to herein men-
tion a striking example of pro-
gress in the bottling industry.
At Oklahoma City a Food In-
spector, accompanied by the
State Sanitary Inspector, vis-
ited a number of bottling works.
In all their experience none
have come up to such a high
standard as the Oklahoma Coca
Cola Bottling Co. This estab-
lishment, recently erected,
seems to have been constructed
with a particular view of meet-
ing all sanitary requirements.
It is modern in every respect,
clean as a pin, and equipped
with every device known that
will add purity to Its products.
This is one establishment that
could well be accepted as a
model by others doing a like
business in the State."

what you drink is in Coca Cola
