J. H. Hay For Sheriff.
He Has Proven Faithful in A Small
Office and Deserves His
Reward.
John R. Hay, whose announce-
ment for the democratic nomin-
ation for sheriff you will find in
another column of this issue of
The Herald-Sentinel. Mr. H(iy
has served two terms a^s county
weigher and has made an excel-
lent officer and be.ieves he has
•earned promotion and many of
his friends agree with him.
As cotton weigher we know of
his waiting until late at night in
order that some related farmer
anight get his cotton weighed, re-
ceive his ticket and go home if
he so desired. He did this be,
cause he*believed it was his du-
ty to do so, that the farmers had
a right to expect him to be on
duty when there is work to be
done. If he is elected sheriff of
this county he will carry the
:same conscientious fidelity to
•duty with him. He is a poor man
and some of those fellows'who
want that office will tell you that
he is "not a taxpayer" just as if
it was a crime to be poor. Were
it a crime or any other offense
sufficient to bar a man from
•seeking office there was a time
when offices in Wahshta county
"would have gone begging. It is
"not worldly possessions that
snakes a good officer and when
.you co to the polls you never en-
«quire how much taxes he pays
but rather as to his qualification
for the office he seeks. There is
no qusstion as to his ability, and
this is recognized by those who
aeek to defeat him "by reason of
. the fact t.hat\hey do not chal-
lenge him as to ability, qualifica-
tions or honesty.
He has had considerable expe-
dience as a peace officer, before
coming to this county from Mis-
souri and was always found
•faithful to every trust. He is a
•consistent democrat, always sup-
porting the ticket from top to
•bottom.
A vote in the'primary for John
'Hay will be a vote for law en-
forcement | by an honest, pains-
taking official whose whole time
will be devoted to the interests
•of the people.
is an ignoramus, . ::ich has prov-
en to oe a very useful instru
ment in the hands of catholics.
He continues by saying, '"no
scandals are heard from the
catholics. In one sense this is
true, as they usua ly try to cover
them up that we may not hear of
them, but nevertheless we hear
of them and will continue to hear
of them until the Divaie hand
takes hold.
Ajgieiter falsity was never
uttered than the o;.e that the
catholics "are free from vice and
crime. 1 have no particular ob-
jection to their worshiping God
in their own way so long as they
stay within their bounds, but do
you believe they will do this? If
so why do they seek politics and
unior of church and state. God
have mercy on the one who af6«r
knowing this will continue to «p-
hold Catholicism.

Kenner for County Judge
Howard \Ksnner Seeks The Demo-
sratic Nomination for County
Judge.
In the political announcements
yuu will find that of H. A. Ken-
ner, as king for the democratic
nomination for county judge. He
is not asking this nomination as
a practicing lawyer, because he
is not a lawy er. He is asking it,
however, as a man of large ex-
perience in handling legal prob-
lems of the scope that comes be-
fore the county court'6? this and

The cases which comes before
the county court roquires a man
of mature judgment and a lafjfe

and not mereiv a diploma show-

to practice law. 'Tis true that
the admission to the bar is one of
the legal reduirements put there
by lawyers. A mere justice of
the peace must hereafter be a
lawyer, not because the decis-
ions were not right and just,
but because mail order lawyers
were getting so thick that pro-
tection was necessary hence the
activity on the part of the at-
torneys whose preserves must
be protected from encroachment
by this mail order product.
Mr. Kenner sened as justice

This week witnesses the close
of the most successful school
year in the history of Cordell,
We have always had good schools
but this year has been better
because we have had a better
school man at the head of thpm.
lTo 'better teacher, but a more
thorough organizer who takes up
the work as a business proposi-
tion and applies to it business
principles.
Superintendent Baldwin had
a mighty tine corps of teachers,
and to them much credit for the
work isjdue. The several teach-
ers must be given all boquets for
the advancement of the pupils
directly under them aud a few
for the advancement of the
school as a whole, but its the or-
ganization—the team work that
counts.
The enrollment this year was
761 in the different departments,
of which 128 were in the high
school. The average attendance
was 83 per cent, notwithstanding
the measles were quite prevalent
during a portion of the school
year. ?A pretty good average.
Eleven graduated from the
high school as follows:
Frank Murdock, Willie Haryey
Will Ford, Mettie Sheppard Dar-
sy Green, Rutherford Brett, A1
ice Boyd, Willis Smith, Ivan Wal-
lace, Lily Fisher and Georgia
Long. These students will" close
their school work in Cordell to
morrow (Friday) night at the
opera house.
There were 50 gradnrtes from
the 8th grade many of whom will
be in the high school nevt year
The schools have been put on
the Univeisitv.list this year with
a credit of nineteen and a half
units, placing it among the fore-
most in the state.
Robert Knie will enter the eon-
test for the democratic nomina-
tion for county judge. He made
the race two years ago but was
defeated by the present incum-
bent who has held thejoffice since
the state was admitted, who, we
are told, has decided to quit.
Mr. Knie is a practicing attor-
ney, having been admitted to the
bar several years ago. However,
having a family on his hands and
a desire to support it well, has
made it impearitive to'get uo and
get into the harness actively has
restrained his efforts along the
lines of his chosen profession.
He served the county one term
as superintendent of schools and
started the country schools on a
basis, one that has made them
equal to any in the state. He on-
y one term, and then made the
ace for state superintendent,
but was defeated because the
A)ook companies could not use
him.
He is one of the most indefat-
igable workers in the county
and deserves the confidence of
the people. A man of large ex-
perience in business matters, of
good ripe judgment, and if selec-
ted to fill this office will meet the
demands of all the people.
Mr. Knie is at present devot-
ing much of his time to the real
estate business and doing mis
sionary work for the county and
its people, and has accomplished
a [great deal to keep the county
front ran.*.
Should *^e be selected as the'
standard Nearer of democracy
he will be elected and the people
of the county have a good officer.

The Bonds Are Sold.
The Council Closes a Deal For $55-
000 Worth.
The city council at its meeting
Monday night spld $55 000 worth
of city bonds, provided thev are
voted whei\ the election is called.
The bonds are to be six per cent
and to run for twenty-five years
without any options, making au
ideal investment for the person
with the cash on hand to invest.
The purpose for which they
are sold, water works extension,
allows the adoption of any plan
that may seem best when the ex-
vthis country was strong catholic
;you would probably see a differ-
ence. This is only one of the
many ways that church is de-
ceiving the people and getting a
strong hold. These few friends
know nothing of the teachings
Ml the bible or catholics or they
are deceivers. To verify my
-•fctLatement read and study Reve*
* lafcens 17, together with history
-■ and various other ways.
What is their history? Where
* was their beginning? Is their
tssaching and purpose in keeping
with God's Word? What is the
condition of the people where
this church rules supreme in
wirtue and refinement.
This one cares nothing for him-
self or his fellow man, has little
respect for God and religion or
was always sustained bv the
higher courts, showing that his
ability as an arbitrator has been
endorsed by the best legal minds
in the state. It is thfrt kind of
training our people want in the
office o! county judge, and that is, _
what you will get if he is elected. "on is dec'def u"on- °"e
ture of the sale is not to the lik-
ing and that is that the money
shall be paid as needed, howev-
er, we suppose no bonds will be
delivered- nor will they draw in-
terest until the purchase price is
in *the city treasury. Cordell

Notice to the Public.
I wish to request of ail those
who are so situated that they can
tf.ke care of any normal students
for two months during the sum-
mer, to report to me just how
m any, whether bovs or girls and
at what price, and what other
conditions in order that I may
make a record of the matter and
be able to accommodate the stu-
dents as they come in.

The Herald-Sentinel until n A
January], 1915 for... OUC
Rural Credit System,
The quarterly report of the
state examiner and inspector
shows that on March 81, 1914,
the Oklahoma school land depart-
ment had on hand $1,610,950.11
deposited in 166 banks through-
out the state. Of this $522,120,14
belonged to the "farm loan divis-
ion." The state constitution pro-
vides that this may be loaned on
farms at not more than five per
cent annual interest. It might
be thought that this report indi-
cates a high degree of prosperity
among Oklahoma farmers, when
more than a half million dollars
of five percent money remains in
the treasury unloaned. But per-
haps it is because Oklahoma
farmers do not know about it.
The loaning of this money is in
charge of John R. Williams, sec-
retary to the commissioners of
the land office, Mercantile build-
ing, Oklahoma City. Requests
for blanks on which to make ap-
plication for a farm loan from
this fund should be sent to him
at that address.—Ok F. J.
Straight at It,
There is no use of our beating

While the bonds are sold they
cannot be delivered until voted,
hence, so far there is no harm
done as the voter has an oppor-
tunity at the polls to register his
wish as to whether the bonds be
issued or not* K voted the dis-
position of the money remains
with the council to use as that
body sees tit, only that it be used
in extension of the water sys-
tem.
The Herald^Sentinel is in favor
of the Issue of the bonds as the
city needs the improvement in
its water supply, and has confi-
dence that not a dollar of it will
be expended until the best that
can be secured for Cordell will
be undertaken. Here is an op
portunity to show that you are a
friend of the town and want it to
