K LECTION LAW
It should be just as plain, clear and
simple as language can make it and
the ballot so easily understood that
any man of ordinary intelligence
could cast his ballot knowing that he
cast it as his conscience dictated and
the election machinery should he as
inexpensive and as little complicated
as possible that the greatest liberty
of action consistent with good order
may result. Elections should he
conducted so as to give the voter all
possible chance to vote easily as he
desires and the ballot should be so
arranged that he cannot mutilate it
through unintentional wrong ma n.
but on the contrary should b - a
guide instead of a puzzle. Elections
are for the purpose of an honest and.
Intelligent expression of the voter,
and should not he changed with eve-
ry whim of a designing politician.!
Liberty is our Nation's grander' prlu*
clple and that yilnclple should <er-'
talnly obtain at the ballot box If we
would remain a free people.

TRADE I/>YA1/TY
No word appeals more strongly to
the average person than loyalty. We
all love to be spoken of as loyal to
family, friends, country and to our
ideals. We should also include our
home city.
There is no doubt of our sincerity
in this and we would feel very much;
offended were it questioned, but is
this loyalty always or the right sort;
is it intelligent and active or is it
sometimes a sentimental and pleas-
ing fancy with which we delude our-
selves?
The happiness of the people of a
city depends largely on the prosper-
ity of the community as • wholt, and
this prosperity depends in part upon
the amount of money circulating
there. The more money the people
send away for things they can buy
from their own merchants, the poor-
er the community will become and,
conversely, the more they spend at
home, the more the place will thrive.
Do those who patronize distaant
mail order houses eve- think of the
harm done? If all the good people
In Botson, for instance, should ignore
the local merchants and fo~ one year
buy their supplies in Chicago, Buff-
alo and New York, there would be
'"For Sale" signs on the city hall.,
Young's, the public library and the
old North church. The same princi-
ple applies to all communities.
Patronage of home merchants is
the life of a city. These mall order
houses bl offering attractive (?)
premiums wih indifferent goods, have
drawn from us large amounts of
money, which, if spent at home,
would have helped to pay for paving,
schools, lighting and general civic
improvement. Outside business
houses do not pay any part of our
city taxes.
But, 'Business is Business,'" some
say. Yes, but business Is more than
that, it is reciprocity, and it should
be apparent to everyone that business
dealings with those who are working
for the same local interests as our-
selves will be far more productive
of good than trading w'th people
who are far away, who buy nothing
from us. and whose only interest in
our community Is the amount of
money they can get out of it.
Do you recall when times have
been hard that these mail order
houses ever extended you credit to
help you over the hard places? Will
they? Not in a thousand years
its money down, or no goods. The
local merchants ore the ones to
whom we must then turn for assist-
ance, hut how can we do so with
good grace or reason unless we sup-
port them in prosperous times?
They are alert and progressive,
and, if the opportunity Is given, will
sell better goods at the same, or low-
er prices, than the mail order houses
can or will and deliver them at on
—no express charges, no long de-
lays, no disappointments.
Let us cease, then, enriching a
few people in whom we have no sort
o interest, at the cost of lasting in-
Jury to our own community. Try
supporting our own home business
for a time.
Surely, loyalty, In this Instance,
means spend ycur money at home.—

A IIAIiY IXSrifillKCTION
From the El Reno American.
At the beginning of the present
political campaign in Canadian coun-
ty the republican nominees entered
into an agreement among them-
selves that so far as they were abl
to make it so. this campaign should
be decent, a nil free from any per-
sonal abuse of the opposing c andi-
dates. Up to the present t'me, that
agreement has been lived up to ti)
the letter. Not one word has been
said by any of them which would re-
flect upon the character or past pc
lit leal or court records of any of
the candidates upon the democratic
ticket.
However, word has recently reach-
ed the democratic paper in this city,
as it has the ears of many citizens
of Canadian county, that there is
quite a good deal of uncomplimenta
ry conversation going the rounds
among the democrats themselves,
with reference to one or more of tlie
democratic nominees for office in this
county. The democratic paper ad-
mits that this talk comes from "men
who claim to he democrats," but in
the next breath it warns the republi-
cans of the county that if this villi-
tication of the democratic candidates
in general, and Billy McCartney In
particular. Is not stopped at once,
the dogs of war will be turned loose
and a big .hatch of dirty republican
linen will be hung out on the line
to dry.
The republicans of th's county
would regret exceedingly to witness
'his campaign, which has heretofore
been fairly clean, resolve Itself at
this stage of the game Into a mud-
slinging contest. But at the same
time they are not going to be fright-
ened by any threats of what the
Democrat's war dogs will do if cer-
tain men "who claim to be demo-
crats" are not hushed.
It is a mat tor of compton know-
ledge that there has been a wide
rift in the democratic party in this
county for the past three or four
years and there are pretty sure in-
dications that a number of the In-
surgents are preparing to get even
at the November election. The re-
publicans, who are always for har-
many, will sincerely regret to learn I
that the democratic 'nternal warfare'
has reached the slopping over point.)
but it does seem unreasonable* that
the Democrat should ask any of the
DEMOCRATS BOLTED
THE CONVENTION
(Continued from Page 1.)
turned as cast by the voters, and
every vote cast accounted for.
Second: That we unanimously
agree that at least one challenger
be allowed to each of the political
parties upon written appointment of
any candidate as provided by law at
each precinct in the state; that the
chall ugers he so stationed as to be
in full view of all that takes place
in the presence of the election offi-
cers and so that he may convenient-
ly converse with the election officers
and the elector applying for a ballot.
Third: That we unanimously
agree that in selecting the four offi-
cial counters, the socialist party or
any member thereof shall on request
have one counter selected; and *f re-
quested the prohibP'on party or any
member thereof shall have one count-
er selected. When but one request
for counter Is made by either the so-
cialist or prohibition parties, it is
agreed that the democratic party
may have two counters and the re-
publican party one counter, and
either the socialist or prohibition
party one counter, thus making the
entire number of four counters. And
in the event that neither the social-
ist or prohibitionist request the ap-
pointment of a counter then there
shall be two democratic and two re-
publican counters appointed and in
all cases such appointments to be
made upon the recommendation of
the precinct committeeman of each
political party.
Fourth: That each precinct elec-
tion board shall have three carbon
copies of the original Poll Books
kept by the precinct board and the
official counters shall make two car-
bon copies of the tally sheets kept
by the official counters, showing the
number of votes cast, for each can-
didate and showing the signatures of
the precinct boards and the official
counters for the purpose of identi-
fication, one carbon copy to be de-
livered to the precinct committee-
man. or some person authorized by
the county chairman of each polit-
ical party requesting the same. Also
three carbon copies of the certificate
of the votes cast as provide in run-
ning section 3189, Chapter 33 of
Snyder's Statutes of 1909, Laws of
1907-8, Ch . 31. Art. 4. Sec. 9.
Fifth: Whereas, the law pro-
vides:
"The State Central Committees of
the two political parties casting the
highest number of votes at the last
general election for state officers
shall have the privilege of selecting
and presenting to the governor, dur-
ing the first thirty days after the
passage of this act, the names of as
many as five electors, from which
said committee may request the gov-
ernor to name the representation to
he ac corded its party upon said state
election board, and every four years
thereafter such state central com-
mittee shall have the right to nom-
inate such list of five electors, for
the purpose aforesaid:
(Chapter 31, Article 1, Sec. 3 Ses-
sion Lawss 1907-8)
That in the judgment of this con-
ference the law governing the ap-
pointment of such board should be
strictly followed, and a state board
appointed in all respects as required
by the statutes above quoted, in that
the administration of the election
law shall he according to law and
therefore above suspicion. ,
It was apparent from the time the
convention reconvened that the dem-
ocratic candidates present had no in-
tention of lending any genuine sup-
port to the idea of trying to have
an honest election and a fair count
In Oklahoma In November. On the
contrary, it was very evident that
their only Intention was to use eve-
ry effort to disrupt the meeting and
turn It Into a farce. This they fail-
ed to acc omplish, either bv cajoling
or browbeating the socialists and
prohibitionists present, and when
they finally marched out of the hall
they made a sorry spectacle of them-
selves, at the same time doing much
to help the cause of honest elections
and honest administration of affairs
in this state. By their action they
showed only too plainly that they
expect to carry the state this fall,
by fair means or foul. «nd so sure
arethev that their machinery is well
oiled and in perfect working order
that they do not hesitate to sav to
the voters of the state that they are
not in sympathy with any honest
election movement.
Judge L. M. Keys of Hobart, re-
publican candidate for judge of the
supreme court, was chosen by unan-
imous vote as chairman of the <•
vent en, as was Leo Meyer, democrat-
ic candidate for state auditor, f. r
secretary. Tom ('lift of Oklahoma
City was elected official stenograph-
er. After the democratic candidates
left the hall. Mrs Minnie Branstet-
ter was elected secretary, vice Leo
Meyer, who bolted out with the oth-
er democratic candidates.
The following resolution was
adopted just before adjournment:
"Resolved, That we deplore the ac-
tion of Mr. Cruce and his associates
In withdrawing from tills meeting af-
ter agreeing to meet and Join the
other political parties in ati effort to
secure an honest election and a fair
count, and we call upon the citizen-
ship of the state, regardless of party
affiliation, to assist In securing to
the people of this state an honest

MADE THIS BRAKEMAN ILL
Touching Devotion Exhibited by New-
lywed Causes Grouchy Trainman
to Lose His Temper.
"Are you comfortable, darling?" the
man asked, bending over the lady on
the train. The brakenian passing
through the aisle, hurried along until
he reached the platform, where he
grated his teeth together like a cof-
fee mill.
"G-r-r-r-r-r!" said the brakeman.
"What's the matter with you7" de-
manded the conductor, emerging from
the forward car with a solid slam of
the door. He straddled the swaying
crack between the two platforma and
stared at his assistant.
"Sick?" he aaked.
"G-r-r-r-r-r!" remarked the brake-
man. "Of course, I'm sick! There's
a new married couple back In there."
The conductor stared through tfce
gloss of the door.
"Where?" he asked. Interestedly.
The brakeman pushed hhn to one side
and pointed a gnarled finger.
"In the fifth seat there," he said,
disgustedly; "there's a dough-faced
mutt there with a woman. She looks
like a canary bird. Ugh!"
The conductor pushed through the
door and strolled down the aisle, cast-
ing sharp glances from side to side.
As be neared the fifth seat the man
was In the act of poking pillows back
of the lady, murmuring gentle noth-
ings In her ear. The conductor re-
turned to where the brakeman was
leaning against the vestibule.
"That's right," he said, "they've Just
"been married.
"G-i^r-r-rumph!" said the brakeman
in disgust.
"Well," said the conductor, "you
might as well go to work. What you
going to do about It? They got s
right to ride, ain't they?"
"No, they ain't!" snapped the brake-
man. "They got no more right to
ride on a train than a mule's got to
learn dominoes. Where do they get
eff?" The conductor laughed.
"They go clear through," he said.
Cheer up, son. They won't always
be like that"
"You just bet they^wouldn't if I
had anything to do,_«wlTrr It," growled
the brakenian, picking up his lantern
and slamming the door behind him.

Davenport came next. There was no

The Retort Courteous.
While a bitterly waged war was In
progress In Washington among the
women of a well known organization.
In which there were two militant
camps, many cruel, biting things were
said by the one of the other. A gra-
cious matron, noted for her consum-
mate tact and the skill with which
she handles difficult situations, es-
sayed the part of peacemaker, with
the result that, being a person of nice
discernment, she at once abandoned
the plan.
She called on Mrs. Urown, who was
the candidate against Mrs. Jones Mrs.
Brown complained bitterly that her
opponent had wilfully misrepresented
facts and showed certain Infirmities of
taste and temper, for which there
could be no excuse.
"Well." said the ambassadress, who
was friendly with both leaders, "you
should not let the passion of polities
narrow your horizon, my dear. You
should be broad vlsloned enough to
make reasonable allowances for what
you consider unlovely harshness Tou
fall to reason that Mrs. Jones' age
may be telling on her."
"What ingratitude!' ejaculated Mrs.
Brown And the tactful woman knew
that her mission was futile.

Soapsuds on the Sea.
It Is In order to vary the phrase
•Touring oil on troubled waters" by
substituting the word "soapsuds" for
oil Experiments have shown that
soapsuds *111 reduce a sea almost as
well as oil.
The first trial was made on a
freighter In a storm on the Atlantic
A large quantity of soap and water
was discharged over the bow, and its
effect was nearly Instantaneous, the
hlght of the waves being so dimin-
ished that the vessel could be man-
aged without difficulty
The steamer Senegal, struck by a
squall In the Atlantic, used soap and
water with the same result. Six
pounds of soap were dissolve,! in two
barrels of water; this solution when
dripped over the bow made a quiet
space about 10 yards wide, preventing
the sea from breaking over the vessel
to any considerable extent.
