DRAWS CROWD
GUTHRIE MX\ MAKES FRIENDS
AT SULPH UR, OlvLA.
Sulphur, Okla., April 7.—J. W
MdNeal of Guthrie, candidate for the
nomination for governor on the re-
publican ticket, addressed a large
and enthusiastic audience here yes-
terday and a larger crowd of people
.from all parties came out to hear
him tonight. Much of 'both speeches
were a review of the extravagance
of the present administration and
comparison, by figures taken from
public records, of the costs of the
various state offices, as conducted to-
day, with the cost of similar offices
during territorial days in Oklaho-
ma, and with the cost of conducting
like offices in Kansas and Texas.
These confparisons showed an extrav-
agance in the conduct of the state's
offices and departments of govern-
ment that was staggering in every
fflir and thoughtful mind, and, after
the close of each address by elo-
quent Kooseveltian appeals for econ-
omy and business methods in the
conduct of the state's government
and for absolute fairness in the elec-
tion laws and at the ballot, the
speaker was greeted by hand shakes
from fair minded men and women
regardless of party. Throughout his
addresses, McXeal's denunciation of
graft and extravagance in its many
forms practiced by the present state
administration, and his appeal for
a 'business administration, and his
promise of a business administration
if elected governor, were greeted
with applause by people of every
party. MoNeal, while charitable, is
blunt
WOMKX VOTED AT SULPH I B.
Sulphur, Okla., April o.— The old
argument that women will not vote
| if given an opportunity was put to
the bad in the election of school
trustees here today. In the fourth
ward, where there was a big fight 011
over the election of North and West
Sulphur men, every woman regis-
tered and eligible wen to the polls
and voted. It. L. Pendland, former-
ly of Whlteright, Texas, the North
Sulphur candidate was elected.
in the second ward there was
much excitement over the election
of an alderman. White Frost, a
wealthy squawman, winning over G.
Ml Weems, chairman of the demo-
cratic county central committee.
Frost is also a democrat. In other
wards the vote was light. In the
first ward the polls -were not open-
ed and no one voted.

A REMARKABLE
BASEBALL RECORD
New York., April 7.—John J. Mc-
Graw, who is to pilot the New York
Nationals this season for the eighth
sutccmlya year, celebrates his thirty*
seventh birthday anniversiary today.
Whether or not he lands his team
at the head of the column he is cer-
tain to have the hearty support of
an army of loyal fans. Among the
hundreds of thousands of lovers of
baseball throughout the country the
fan who sizzles on the bleachers at
the Polo grounds in midsummer and
roots for the home team is in a class
by himself. For him there is but
one league and in that league hut one
team the Giants. And for 'Winning
this loyal and almost fanatical sup-
port of the followers of the game the
credit is due to John J. McGraw.
McGraw in one of the most, unique
figures in baseball. During the time
in which lie has figured most prom-
inently the national ghme lias been
revolutionized, and no man has done
mora to bring ahout the new order of
things than McGraw. Years ago he
upset the old Idea that great ball
players had to be large and muscu-
lar men. Coming into the National
League from a little Western club,
nothing 'but a boy, and a small and
almost frail one at that, the old-tim-
ers sneered at the idea that he could
ever play ball with tho 'big fellows.
It was the wonderful work of Mc-
Graw and Keeler and others of the
old Baltimore team which caused
managers to hunt fast, small men
instead of large, powerful ones. In
all the annals of baseball there has
never been such bdlliant inside base-
ball as McGraw, Keeler, Jennings
and others who played with the Ori-
oles in the seasons of '94 and *95.
As a manager McGraw has been
as successful as he was as a player.
Since he 'took charge of the New
York Giants on July 19, 1902, they
have played 1,1120 championship
games, winning 68K and losing 432
for a percentage of .614. They have
won two penuants and one world's
champion.-'alp and !in m *d second

HONESTY IN ELECTIONS
VS. CHICANERY
Enid, Okla., April 7,—H. H. Stal-
lard of Snyder, vice president of the
Farmers' Union of this state, has re-
cently written an open letter to the
editor of the Enid Events, outlining
sensibly what Oklahoma really needs
in an election lrnw. He says:
"Editor Events:—Our Democratic
friends seem to be considerably both-
ered about the proper kind of an
election law. Why was there any
change at all in the general election
law? It must have been a just law
or the republican party is an excep-
tionally honest party for when they
had as full control of the election
machinery as the law would permit
any party to have, the Democrats got
all the offices in the election for del-
egates to the constitutional conven-
tion and also in the first legislature.
So it is a mystery what the Demo-
crats want—well not much either.
They want to stay In and It begins
to look like they are a little afraid
to trust the people having a square
deal. The Democratic legislators
will keep along monkeying with the
people till their party will be third
In the coming state election. They
can't work Mississippi and Georgia
tactics in this state and the more
they try the worse off they will be.
Goebelism killed the democratic
party in Kentucky and loolism is
going to kill it in Oklahoma.
"They forget they will have all
their actions to explain to the people.
What are they going to say when
the voters ask the question what was
the matter with the old Oklahoma
I territorial law? They can't say It
left room for fraud. If they do they
will make the Republican party ap-
i pear so pure that many people would
' trutit them In the carrying on of elec-
j tions without any law, for we all
Know the Republican party did want
to control the constitutional conven-
I tion. No the old law was a fair one.
I managed the Democratic sldo of
I the election for years and I never
was afraid of any political party
stealing. It was an impossibility,
unless the officers did not care. Thou-
sands of dollars have been spent in
| doctoring an election law."
