Every democrat should strive hard
to get voters out on election day.
Jim Davenport's ability to do things
seems to be the envy of the repub-
licans . /'
The local democratic candidates re-
port that interest is growing in the
meetings over the county.
X.
A vote for the democratic ticket
is a vote of endorsement of the nation-
al administration and the constructive
work of the state administration.
The cry that the democrats have
not made good in the administra-
tion of Oklahoma affairs is far
fetched. They now have the state

sow dissensions among the democrats.
It is mi old game and the democratic
voter should be wise to the game.
fan you point to an act of Bob Wil-
liams since he has held offico in Okla-
homa since statehood that has not
been in the interests of the people?
What success do you think Judge
Jennings would have in the legislature
securing anything for Rogers county,
when he would be n member of the
minority party ?
The way to maintain the reputation
of Rogers county being the strongest
democratic county north of the Cana-
dian river is to get busy and get out
the vote on Nevember 3.
The republicans are*not making a
bold and open campaign, but are gum-
shoeing around with the vote for the
beat man bogy. 'The doctrine is one
that the republicans never put into
practice.
Man for man, aside from politics,
isn't the morals and ability of the can-
didates on the democratis ticket just
as high and as good as those on the
republican ticket? Where is there a
reasonable reason to scratch a man on
the democratic ticket?
T +
Mr. Democrat, Do you know of fljxe
of those republicans who tell so much
{about voting for the best inan who
intends to vote to sustain the national
administration in any particular, yet
it is undeniably one of the best
in the history of our country.
The republicans boast that they are
strictly in favor of an economic ad-
ministration. They are pretty good
when it comes to talking but they fall
far short in execution. "Talk >s cheap
but whiskey costs money." And the
republicans do not seem to be able to
pay the price,
Dr. John Threadgill In announcing
his support of Bob Williams, says the
record of the democratic party in Ok-
lahoma in constructive legislation, is
one that the party may well be proud
of and should receive the hearty sup-
port of every citizen of Oklahoma, who
believes in endorsing the work of
those who do things.
All admit that the democrats have
elected some crooks to office since
statehood, but we would also call your
attention to the fact that they threw
a lot of them out of office. Did you
ever hear of the republicans throwing
one of their crooks out of office when
they are in power. The democratic
party of Oklahoma has shown its abil-
ity to cleanse itself and take care of
its crooks.

Oklahoma was in the fore in secur-
ing the nomination of Woodrow Wil-
son and would show its faith in the
work of the democratis party by not
only re-electing T. P. Gore and the
democratic delegation in congress by
an increased majority, but by electing

THE ANSWER
Thus* huvt> been stormy time* in
our national affair*. Naver hofora in
the history of ih« nation has th® sua
of coninisreisli*m been threatened
with greater disturbance*. No admin
istration was ever so harassed by
complication* in the affair* of foreign
diplomacy. There ha* scarcely been
ti breathiiiK *l>ell since the iuaugum
lion of Woodrow Wilson as president.
Great i|iiestiomi of national import-
ance, demanding immediate decision,
have been dealt with one after an
other in ri^id succession.
Through all this commercial strife
and important events; through a num
Iter of threatened calamitie* and on
beyond the "breaker*" of the inter-
national complication* and a persist-
ent war sentiment, Woodrow Wilseif
has safely steered the ship of state
into the harbor of safety, peace and
prosperity.
The history of our counLry discloses
no greater administration. The for-
eign policy, at first so bitterly assail-
vd, is now recognised by the world's
greatest men as the work of a mastet-
mind whose leadership has been lis
fearless as that of any other presl
dent, commanding the admiration and
'respect of all nations. And this has
l>een accomplished without resorting
to the ordinary tactics of bluff and
bluster.
What then 1st he contrast with the
former administrations? Is the ques-
tion that comes to the thinking man.
The answer is glaringly depicted
throughout all the pages of history
that describes the l^oody conflicts of
the past, the carnage of human beings
and the plundering of nations. The
answer is vividly written in Europe
today what the carnage of war is al-
ready a vast multitude. The answer
is the greatest asset the democratic
administration and its lenders have.
The calm, deliberate Judgment of
President Wilson and his advisors has
prevented war abroad and averted a
crisis at home.
After many years of waiting the
democracy has proven Itself, and
throughout the United States the
people are giving their approval by
electing democrats to national and
Ante offices.—Maud Monitor.

Walter Shaw and Billy Boyd are
goid fellows and good citizens, but
can yon point to one of their acts its
a public official that shows any more
ability or honesty of purpose than if
their office had been administered by
a democrat?
Our friend Clark Smith's desire for

has reference to Creager's arderous
work in Claremore for a week set-

ment, when he did not have enough

his own party to nume the appointee.
Dr. John Threadgill, the well known
republican leader of Oklahoma City,
lias announced his intention of sup-
porting Bob Williams for governor.
The doctor intimates that Fields is a
weak character and boldly aingijnpes
that it is the old gang that bled old
Oklahoma for' so long that is trying
to put him over. The doctor is con-
sistent in his stand as he was always
against the graftprs jp ol«J Oklahoma.
While James S. Davenport is busy
at his ppst fit Washington helping to
pass legislation beneficial to his peo-
ple, Judge Gill is busy campaigning.
Jim may not have time to do a lot of
campaigning but he is going to get
the votes just the same because the
good democrats of the 1st congres-
sional district know a gP0(} man when
they see him and they are b#tt<sr
pleased that Mr. Davenport be at Ifis

More than one hundred years ago
of colda, yet theae alone are not re.
sponsible for all the colda and la
grippe attacks.
More than oneh undred year* ago
Benjamin Franklin called attention
to the fact that colds were frequent-
ly contracted by one person coming in
contact with another suffering with
cold He said, "I have long been sat-
isfied from obaervaUon that people
often catch cold one from another
when shut up in close rooms, coaches,
and when sitting near together in
conversation so as to breathe, in the
other's transpirations."
('olds are not well understood but
they are certainly caused by germs
that are transferred from one person
to another. In no other way can we
explain the fact that they run In epi-
demics. During s cold, and indeed at
nil times, there are a great number
of germs growing in the air passages
and it has been difficult to decide
which of these germs caused the cold.
It seems certain, however, that the
pneumonia and Influence germs often
cause colds and that the diphtheria
Kerm may do so. It Is thought that
the pneumo-baccillus, which some-
times causes pneumonia, Is the most
common cause of^colds.
To avoid contracUng a cold a per-
son should be careful not to borrow
personal articles of one suffering
from a cold. He should not handle
the soiled handkerchief or stand near
any one who is coughing without
turning away from him. One suffering
from a cold should not breathe in an-
other's face or borrow another per-
son's handkerchief, neither should a
well person sleep with one suffering
from a severe cold. One suffering
from a severe cold should be careful
and see that their hands are washed
frequently with soap and water, and
avoid going into crowded rooms as
much as possible. One person in a
crowded hotel lobby, or other large
assembly room, can spread a cold
very rapidly, especially if these quar-
ters are poorly ventilated. Jn fact,
the most suitable place to contract a
cold is in an assembly room that is
poorly heate<) and poorly ventilated,
Where a large crowd has congregated.

of $12.00.
In the case of Weams vs. Goble,
wherein Weams was suing Goble for
damage done to lands belonging to

did.
"TREY O'HEARTS" THE BEST
YET
Many of the large crowd who wit-
nessed the episode of the "Trey
O'Hearts," shown at the Lyric Thea-
tre Friday night, pronounced It the
best episode of the picture that has
yet been shown. It was full of ac-
tion and thrilling throughout. One
scene is especially worthy of men-
tion in this episode in which the hero
rescues the heroine from a burning
building, swinging across the street
high up above the building on a
piece of rope and snatching the hero-
ine from an up stairs window. It is
wonderful what risks the motion pic-
ture actors and actresses will run to
produce a thrill in a picture.

STANDARDIZING THE BABIES
They have standardised the hsbisB in
this scientific dsy,
They would save the perfect speci-
men* and throw the rest away.
Rut they rant convince the mothers
of the undersised snd weak,
That they're not the kind of bsbiss
that a Perfect Race must seek.
And the homely little liable* get as
tender, loving care,
And are ruddled just as fondly a* the
Beautiful and Fair.
Curious creature* are theee mothers,
each enraptured by the charms
Of the palpitating bundls that shs
trundles in her arms,
Each contending that her liaby Is enti-
tled to the prise,
Irrespective of the standard a* to
strength or weight or else;
Not a single one admitting that hsr
little failure'* place
Should lie talpwii by a stranger for the
Glory of the Race.
Well, though science may be baffled;
though its nsw hygsnic chert*
May lie mocked by the affection that
is born in mothers' hearts;
PoMsibly the little babies that hsvs
failed to pa*s the test
May become in odolescence Just as
lovely as the rest.
Science works exceeding wonders, but
in Nature's gentle plsn
Mother love can do for babies more
than Science ever can.
—Disappointed Mother.
EXCITEMENT RUNNING HIGH
The excitement throughout the
country over the near 1014 world's
championship hase ball series ia
growing each day as the date, Friday,
October 9th, for the opening of the
series draws nearer und nearer. All
over the country the base ball loving
American people are taking time
away from talking war news to dis-
cuss the base ball situation and to
"pick the winner." Claremore, for
the most part, seems pretty evenly
divided, some predicting that the
Boston Braves, who have made each
a remarkable run from the bottom of
the list in mid-season to the top and
a pennant will easily take the eerie*
from the veteran Athletics, white
others maintain that the Philadelphia
Athletics ball team is the best base
ball team in the world and that it
is again going to demonstrate that
fact in the coming series. Small
wagers, ranging from $1.00 to $5.00,
are being placed by the local sporte
on their favorites, just to make thei
thing interesting, so they Bay.
The Williams Drug Co. has made
arrangements to receiv^ the returns,
so if you want to watch the results of
the games, inning by inning, go down.
The game starts promtly at 2 o'clock.
Eastern time, and at 1 o'clock local
time.
