As I will not be able to aee all
of those who voted for me in the
recent primary election in my race

od to publicly thank all of those who
showed their friendship toward me
hy casting their vote for me and I
also wish to assure those who voted
for either of my opponents that
hold no hard feeling toward them
and that than are no sore spots on
me
I wiah to especially thank my home
people at Oolagah, Talala and Col-
linaville for the aupport they gave
me and aaaure them that although I
lost I am a good democrat and will
pull off my coat and work for the
men the democrats chose to repre-
sent democracy for thie office in the

the week tor Denver and other Colo-
Republican papers, like the Okla<
homa City Times, in booating the
election of John Fields and in pretend'
ing to believe that he has a chance,
overlook the late primary record.
Republicuna in tha state cast about
30,000 votes and the democrats more
than 130,000 votes. The flguns show
that the Oklahoma voters regard the
republican party as a decaying poli-
tical organisation. It has been a prey
of all other political parties since
Taft was repudiated so overwhelm
ingly at the polls two years ego.
Many Oklahoma republicans have be-
come disgusted with the leadership of
the old carpet bag gang and went in-
to the democrat primary where they
could exercise some choice as between
candidates of a party that was sure
to win. Others Joined the fortunes of
Roosevelt, McCormack and other Pro-
gressive leaders and are now prose-
cuting a campaign for John Hickam
for Governor and the rest of the state
Progressive^, ticket. Some of them
have Joined the Socialist ranks and
the 30,000 npresent the fragment of
the once proud party that ruled Okla-
homa and promoted negro immigra-
tion. There is no rsaaon to think
John Fields is stronger than his de-
caying party. His only race is with
the socialist and Progressive candi-
dates for second place.
TO COLLINSVILLE IN TWENTY
NINE MINUTES
The latest Clarsmors folk to^come
to the front in the way of an auto-
mobile record is Gerry Buckley, dem-
onstrator for the Overlnnd, who, ac-
companied by Miss Marion Starr as
a passenger, says he made the trip to
Collinsville on Friday in twenty-nine
minutes, and is willing to do It again
provided that it is made worth his
while by non-believen.
Mr. Buckley has been spending
several days in the city demonstrat-
ing the Overland, and the trip to Col-
linsville waa made merely as a pleas-
ure trip, but the average person
would rather take their pleasure a
little slower.

Mother of Child Wean Diamonds-
Babe Now at the Detention
Home.
Much mystery surrounds the plac
ing of u 24-hours old bube In the de-
tention home yesterday afternoon,
The child wus brought to Tulsa yes
t«rday ut noon by Mrs. Smith, one of
the assistants at the Detention home,
after making a trip to Claremore at
tho instigation or Dr. 1. M. Temple,
president of the Humane society.
Tho father of the child came to
Tulsa yesterday and visited Dr.
Temple and made arrangements for
the child to be kept at the home for
a short time, but from present indi-
cations its |larents may never call for
it This is . the theory advanced by
Mrs. Smith, who went to Claremore
and brought it here. She said that its
mother and father had the appear-
ance of being well-to-do, the woman
wearing diamonds and other precious
stones.
When she asked them when they
would call for the child they replied
that they didn't know, that it might
lie some little time. They claimed
that they didn't have any home and
that his occupation was that of a rail-
road man. The lack of interest in
tho babe's welfare on the part of its
parents leads Mrs. Smith to believe
that there is something crooked about
the deal. The child was born at 3
o'clock Sunday morning nt the St.
James hotel at Claremore and at the
time of its birth its parents had made

in the conservation of child life and
health and in all forms of child wel-

thereby take what possibly might be
one of the greatest burdens off the

! A representative of the Progress
called at the St James on Wednes-
day morning to secure further infor-
mation cont reif!lg ~*ha above. It
wn* learned that the parents of the
child referred to registered at this
hotel on the 26th of July as Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Wright, but gave no ad-
dress. The mother has been at the
hotel since that time, while the father
has been located, it seems, at Wil-
liams, 0kla„ southwest of Ft. Smith,
Ark., where, It is said, he is employed
as relief operator on the Midland Val-
ley.
The mother of the babe states that
her mother lives In Arkansas and is
the proprietress of a hotel at a
small town near Ft Smith. She also
stated to the management of the hotel
that it was their intention to place
the child in a nursery at Tulsa until
she was better able to take care of it

going about at Chelsea that the boot-
leggers and the whiskey men have
alnady beguh to pour back into the
county since I got the nomination.
Thut is untrue und unjust. There
are no more bootleggers and whiskey
men in the county now than there
were before the primary. Any fair
minded and non-prejudiced Clare- chase, that it was democrats that
more citizen will bear me out in this
assertion.

bition laws as rigidly as possible if I
am elected to the ofHce of sheriff of

to all, and never makes an enemy of
a man that he arnsts, but rather a
friend. He has been criticised not a
