We are authorized to announce E H Clarke
a candidate for County Commissioner District
No 1 of Wagoner county subject to the action
of the Republican convention
The republican convention at Mnakogee last
week was a disgrace to the party and calculated
to thoroughly disgust thinking people ‘with mod-
ern politics
' With good strong state and county tickets the
Republicans have a fighting chance to carry the
new state but if they declare against the consti
tution its a fare-you-well to Republican hopes in
this territory for years to come
-t-t-t—
The constitution is no the kind Republicans
want but their only recourse now is to accept it
under protest elect the ticket and modify it
All the talk about being able to change it if
the people so desire is bosh pure and simple
-J-J-J-
Those who maintain that the Indians of In-
dian Territory are descendants of the Japanese
'will find food for thought in the fact that the In-
dians of the five civ’lized tribes something over
fifty years ago lived almost entirety on rice— K

A gentleman who is well posted on what took
place in the democratic primaries in the various
counties and who stood by a losing candidate de-
clares that when the censps is given the public it
will be seen that the vote alleged to have been
cast was equal to the tqfjtl population It is no
wonder that the order for a census paralyzed the
democratic machine— Times-Journal

The Wagoner Record has brought out A F
Parkinson as an aspirant for Lieutenant Govern-
or of the New State The Times is not personally
acquainted with Parkinson but from what
we know of him be is fye right man for the plact
and oughc to have the nomination in recognition
of not only his sterling qualities but the 800 to
1000 majority his county will foj up for the
ticket

There was a well written article in the last is I
sue of the Porter Enterprise under the caption of I
“Thoroughly Republican” which if it had been I
properly signed by the writer would have looked
better carried tome weight and conviction of the I
writer’s honesty of purpose but as it appeared I
is robbed of its value likewise its hidden sting
We were sent an extra marked copy of the1
Enterprise possibly in the hope that we would!
reproduce it but as we can not consistently do
that we will point out some of the features con-
tained therein which seem to us unwarranted by
the situation as we understand it
It was a strong defense of the actions of the I
recent Republican county convention aft Wagoner
the tabling of the Frantz resolution advocated on
the floor by Mr Harris included
It questions the Republicanism of the delegates!
opposing that action and those who have dared
criticise same including the editor of this paper
Se far as the Times is concerned it doesn’t care
a continental We have no desire or inclination
to create discord and deny the stricture of the ar-
ticle in questibn but want to say that when par-
tisans of any man uses Democratic newspapers I
to vent their spleen upon co woikers in the party
in addition to their questionable victory as did
those of ‘Mr Harris against J E Hildt Judge
Mosher and others by the use of the Times-Dem-ocrat
he and they may expect exposition of their
unwarranted actions harmony or no harmony
If there is discord in the Republican ranks of I
Wagoner county either Harris himself or his I
partisans created it by their use of a Democratic
paper through which to gloat over questionable
and temporary success
The question of party loyalty of no delegate to

THB CAMPAIGN IS ON
J N Baker Bee Hive Store
Gov Frank Frantz opened his campaign for the
republican nomination for governor ut Ada last
Saturday in an electrifying call to arms of the
republican hosts
This means nothing less than that the “war is
on” Old party veterans are inhailing with delight
the scent of impending battles and the rank and
file welcome the bugle’s clarion notes
The shackles' which bound them in the coasti'
tutional delegate election and turned the proposed
new state over' to a hord of nutoratio conscience-
less and Vasailating place hunters whose inordi-
nate greed for office caused them to attempt to
foist upon the people a constitution (?) which
they have since repudiated have been removed
and every man of them are ready and anxious to
enter the contest wrest victory from despoilers
and put Oklahoma into the column of push pro-
gress and prosperity

Its something remarkable isn’t it the wide
divergence of opinion held by some men Foi
instance Hausam pemocratio nominee for Com-
missioner said at the Shahan picnio that the con-
:J tution was the best one ever written— he knew
that because he helped write it Beavers Repub-
lican candidate for the nomination for County
Attorney in his talk said that his friend Hau
sam’s language would sound better out of some-
body elto’s mouth but even its echo failed to
respond
Isn’t it about time thaf the Guthrie Capital and
a few other papers stop “knocking’ ’ on the consti-
iution and fight for justice rather than whing?
As the Times said in the beginning and stead-
fastly maintained throughout the anti -constitution
crusade the people want statehood and are
going to have it and if the Republican party fails
to nominate tickets covering the field from gov-
emor down to constable it will mean political
suicide for the party in the proposed new state
Quit Shining! Let’s fight for justice and a
”sqiiaredeftl”
Editor Bnssell of the Shawnee Herald who
opposed the nomination of Haskell gave as evi-
dence of the justness of his claim to being a dem-
ocrat the following biography :
“The editor of the Democrat was born nnder
the Jefferson Davis flag in Mississippi has been
voting the democratic primary since he was sixteen
years old never saw or knew what a republican
ticket looked like until he came to Oklahoma’ ten
years ago and voted the democratic ticket under
the emblem jnst as it was printed— without ever
reading it — at opportunity and has greater faith
in that great party than ever before — if such
possible — believing it to be the parly upon which
the republic mast stand if it continues to last”
After declaring it would require a book to con
tain his reasons he closes with the following:
“Jnst to give you our charge in brief it is that
Mr Haskell is not a democrat but on imposter a
wolf in sheep’s clothing a traitor who has stolen
into onr household to spy and protect the trusts
and corporations ont of whom he has made every
dollar he possesses”

The democrats of Wagoner county are as the
Irishman sqld “in a divil of a fix” Their county
central committee has been declared illegal and re-
fused recognition by the state Organization They
held a primary for the election of a county ticket
but the local democratic organ repudiated same
by not supporting it The claim is made that 800
was paid in to cover expenses of the primary bnt
that judges and- clerks of election on the west
side of the Virdigrih river never received their
pay and indirectly charges are made that what
is dubbed the ‘Wagoner machine” swiped the coin
