COMMUNITY PROGRAM
MRS JESSIE BARNES
FOR COURT CLERK
- We are authorized this week to an-
nounce the name of Mrs jjfessie
Barnes for the office of Court Clerk
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic primaries in August
Mrs Barnes has been connected
with the clerk’s office for the past
four years first as deputy under G
A Witt and later having been elect-
ed Her record is so well known
that it hardly seems necessary to go
into details Attorneys and others
who have business in the clerk’s of-
fice are never heard to complain of
the manner in which 'the work is be-
ing handled
The records of the office -are said
to be in the best shape in the history
of the office and the affairs are han-
dled with promptness and courtesy
which has won the praise not only oft people turned out en
the local bar members but of the dif-
ferent judges and visiting attorneys
In addition to keeping a perfect
set of records in the office during
the more than a year that the office
has been in Mrs Barnes’ charge it
has managed to almost clear the
books of thousands of cases in which
the i costs were delinquent thus re-
lieving the county and litigants of
much worry
Mrs Barnes is asking the re-election
to the office not because she is
a woman but because she believes
she is fitted to handle the affairs as
well as anyone who could be elected
and because when one holds an office
for one term giving satisfaction it
is the usual thing to re-elect them to
that office — Duncan Eagle

TRUE COURSE
new conditions it should be done in
a regular way by a regular democra
tic convention regularly assembled
The democratic party has buffeted
many storms much worse than this
that is now brewing It has attended
the funeral of the federalist party
the whig party the know nothing
party the populist party and the
green back party and is ready to of-
ficiate at the obsequies of the labor
union party The democratic party
has stood the disintegrating influences
of cecession and withstood the shock
of civil war always depending upon
j ing with “sleeping sickness” it allow-j next election it is time that the! the support of the common people for
ed itself to be drawn boot and bag- j country should be aroused from its ! success Though defeated in many
take interest
The democratic state convention
when it meets in Oklahoma City on
the sixth of May should not in the
least be governed by the El Reno
convention in making its platform
nor its suggestion of candidates
' Our great party can in no way as-
sume responsibility nor suffer itself
to be dominated by any coterie of
men meeting upon their own initia-
tive especially when they wander
from democratic traditions and go
off after strange political doctrines
The party paid dearly for that ex-
gage into the Walton camp While
experience is the most costly manner j
cf acquiring wisdom ye its lessons j
are more impressive and enduring of the old ship of state that will pi-
We should see to it this time that lot her back to her ancient moorings
the platform be not written by any
one class of our citizenship but it
must have the true ring of democra-
cy — “the greatest good to the great-

FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
est number” with honest men in of-
fice who will administer the govern-
ment both state and national in the
interest of all the people
The time has arrived when the free
booter the grafter and the tax eater
shouil be eliminated The normal
expense of running our government
is very costly at best but when we
have the pie counters lined with peo-
ple who get huge salaries for no val-
id service — men appointed to office
to pay campaign debts or for the pur-
pose of holding their influence so as
sleeping lethargy take interest in
public affairs put -men of honesty
intelligence and ability at the helm
The principles of government like
the principles of morality can never and with the loving care for human-
become old or obsolete and if it is : ity of Woodrow Wilson our party will
