DEMOCRATS HOLD
CONVENTION
Harmony was the keynote of
the State Democratic Convention
which met in Oklahoma City last
week. Governor Haskell in
speaking uf his administration
before the convention said:
"My term of office will soon be
at an end. I shall again enjoy
being a private citizen to work
in the ranks of my party. When
I'retire I shall thank the Demo-
crats for their confidence in the
past and asking nothing for the
future. The more ycu study the
affairs of our party and the be
neficent laws it has enacted, the
more you w ll bee mje convinced
tnat the ninety-nine men did a
good work in making the C insti-
tution. The sun never rises on
the closed door of a State baak
and the sun would never rise on
the closed door of a National
bank in Oklahoma were these in-
stitutions not restrained from
taking advantage of our deposi-
tors' guaranty law.
. "Tne Government of Oklahoma
has been operated at a cost only
.56 per ceut as great as the cost
of Kansas. When I put this up
t) J- e McNeil he investigated
th9 records aud found that it
was true, but he excused it by
saying that the camparison watj
not godd because Kansas was
always extravagant. You can
not find a State in the United
States of equal area and popula-
tion that is administered as
cheaply as Oklahoma. President
Taft advises the people to follow
the flag and the people ask ' which
flag?'.
"On the plaids of Kansas the
other day Joe Cannon, told the
Republicans to vote for Demo
crats rather than Insurgent Ke
publicans, In the State, Sena-
tor Bristow told the Republicans
to vote for Democrats rat.hei
than standpatters. 1 am willing
to take hair the advice ot each
and elect all Democrats "
Senator Gore responded to the
call for a speech, and said among
other things:
"He is a coward who would be
driveu from the patn of duty by
fear of calumny. I shall never
be deterred from the leTorm-
ance of my duty, no matter what
the conscquences The issue as
regards myself is immaterial.
I am but a temporary glow
which raises and siijks out of
W. S. Cross. Pres. Dr W C. Vcndergrafl, V-Prcs ]. D.

.AN OLD MAID.
Once there was an old maid
who said that she aid not need to
m.irry. She had a parrot that
swore, a m >nkey that chewed to-
l aero and a cab that went out at
night. But she needed a BANK
and s-> do YOU need one.
For the best services try
sight and is forgotten, but this
matter, so far as it relates to an
immutable princile and the right
of-the people, is of the highest
concern. The Congressional in
vestigation will result in incal
cu'able good to the entire State,
pqnally to the white man and the
red man There is nothing po-
litical or partisan in the situation
Every honest man is 111 favor of
good government and onposed to
graft. T think every official
should keep an open book and he
should be able to account for
every dollar and never have a
dollar to his credit that he can
not explain its presence on a
rnomenu's notice, be the inspect-
or friend or foe."
There were many calls for a
speech from Bill Murray. Re-
sponding he said in part:
"Hav ng been born in a Novem
bet- storm and cradled in adver-
sit ". I have never been greatly
depressed by defeat or elated by
victory. Since 1905, when I en-
tered the Sequoyah convention
I have been almost continuously
in public life.
"If I was not a success at bus
iness, I have ieft to my vife and
children a stainless record. I
have stood always for the same
principles in victory or defeat.
I may have finished ray course,
but no man can deny that I have
kept the faith. Human minds
are like clocks. Some may lun
faster than others, but the others
will catch up in the orbit and cir
cle of time and insure wholesome
reform. I hold not a spleen of
bitterness or a pang of regret
out for the sympathy of those
who followed me We can not
afford to harbor personal fetling
or personal grievances. To vic-
tors belong the honor of carrying
forward the work. I shall sup-
port the ticket from Lee Cruce
down to Constable "
' The convention adopted a plat-
form without opposition and res
olutions making personal the in
dorsement of the administration
of Gov. Haskell. A resolution
was adopted also expressing con-
fidence of the Democrats of the'
State in the integrity of Senator
Gore and applauding his action
in causing an investigation or
Indian affairs in Oklahoma, oe-
■cause or the effect it may have in
securing more valuable legisla-
tion affec ing Indian matters in
the State.
Our Preachments.
Our preachments, briefly, are
as follows-
That Hollis is in the centre of
the richest agricultural section
in western Oklahoma; that the
wealth of our county lies in the
wealth of her soil; and that her
future aristocracy will be agri-
cultural.
That Harmon is the newest
county in the state; Hollis, her
capital, is the newest railroad
town in Oklahoma, and bids fair
to be one of the best in this 'sec-
tion of the state.
That the building era has just
begun in Hollis and there will be
something doing all the lime.
If you are looking for a loca
tion in a town with a future, it
will pay you to see Hollis before
investing.
