DON'T FORGET THE CONVENTION
A PROBABLE CANDIDATE.
Many candidates for the various
county and state officers have
thrown their hats into the politic-
sl ring and are now ingratiating
themselves into the good grace
of the voters by recognizing them
• i block away. Many others are
being groomed by their friends,
snd are only in a receptive mood.
They are willing to serve their
country if they aire drafted or
really wanted, but are unwilling
lo go out, nolen9 !v dens, and try
to wrest a nomination from others
who would be willing to sacrifice
ten years of their lives in order to
be identifie d as the men who hold
down public offices.
Of t^iis re :eptive class is our
fellow townsman, O.J. Logan,
who, hjs friends say, would serve
as state} senator from thts district,
to succeed J. V. McClintic who
has conbeired the idea that he can
serve the people of the Seventh
congressional district best by
going to washington as a member
of the lower house. Logan has
not announced his candidacy for
the state senate; nor has he him-
self intimated that he would like
to knock that particular oersim-
on. Eut his friends think he
would be the man for the job and
are prodding him on to make the
race.
Mr. Logan is wholly antagonis-
tic to the present state adminis-
tration, which does not in any
manner detract from his standing
politically. In fact it is the
popular side of politics in this,
part of the state, for there are
few who would like to try the
experiment of holding up the
hands of those who hive so
ruthlessly plundered us for the
past few years.
Logan is "again 'em" and that
is the kind of a man the people are
demanding for their candidates
this year, and since he has had
considerable experience in a
political way, being a born
politician, he would make the
"other fellow" "go some" should
he consent to make the race—get
out and make a determined fight
for the nomination. And this he
will probably do and "bring home
the bacon."
The Cordell Beacon makes
•lention of Logan's probable
candidacy as follows:
"Attorney O. J. Logan of the
firm of Logan & Rummons of Ho-
bart, was in the city Wednesday
•n legal business for that firm.
Mr. I -ogan is being mentioned as
a candidate for the Senate to
succeed J. V. McClintic of Snyder
whose term expired last spring
and should he decids to make the
race one of the planks in his plat- j John Lind, President Wilson's
lorm will demand the abolition of personal representative in Mexico,
the state senate, placing the
this vile world?
President Wilson's "watchful
waiting" policy seems to have
no effect upon the destinies of
Mexico's usurper. The effort to
prevent foreign loans has proved
anothor fiasco, for Muerta is able
to sell bonds and provide ' the
sinews of war without much
trouble.
A Denver dispatch says
Mother" Jones must obey
Colorado laws. Why not? Mother
Jones should obey the laws of
any state in which she sojourns.
The fact that she is If professional
trouble maker in labor circles is
no reason why she should not be
amenable to law.
So lonf as the election
machinery of the state is applied
against Republicans it is all right,
but when one Democratic faction
applies it against another faction
of the same faith, much appre-
hension exists, and there is a loud
wail lest frauds be practiced.
Still the Democrats will tell you
•.hat the Republican complaints
are without excuse.
Charley West said in a speech
at Enid that if there was not a
change in state affairs the people
would haye to move out. West is

The time for cleaning up the
back yard and planting trees,
flowers and shrubbery is nearly
here. And the time for destroy-
ing the bagworm has already
arrived. So there is plenty of
work lo employ all the odd
moments for several weeks, and
they should be employed.
The Republicans of the county
should not forget that the chair-
man of the county central com-
mittee has called ward and pre-
cinct meetings to be held at the
usual voting places on Jan, 31, at
1 o'clock, p. m., for the purpose of
electing delegates to the county
convention to be held in Hobart
on Feb, 7, and for the further pur-
pose of electing precinct commit
teemen. ( \
It is important that a meeting
be held in every ward and precinct
in the county that a full delegation
be sent to the county convention.
This is the time for reorganiza-
tion, and it should be made in
such a manner and so thorough
as to convince the rank and file of
the voters that a square deal is all
that Republicans will stand spon-
sor for.
The larger the convention the
better will be its effect upon the
party. Let all feel an interest in
it and make it a harmonious, cour-
ageous working force.
Every Republican ip the county,
whether he is a delegate or not,
could very well afford to take a
day off and come to the conven-
tion. It will be worth his while
and in the end may be dollars in
his pocket.

The only one of the Kansas
Bull Moose leaders who is fired
with the spirit of martyrdom is
Victor Murdock. He will give up
a raal job for the forlornest hope
that ever cams down the pike.
The 'get together" slogan of
the stand-pat Republicans is in-
spired by a desire to get the
"gr ape s"—News-Capital. And
Democracy's " 'Rah for the Moos
ers!" is for a similar purpose.
It is presumed that the McAles
ter prisoners who met death the
other day when they made a dash
for liberty, were only entering up-
on a race for the nomination of
governor, in opposition to A1
Jennings.
Horseshoeing has been added
to the Cornell curriculum. Why
not add shoemaking?
Governor Cruce says there will
be no special session of the legis-
lature. He ought to know.
Farmers are plowing and mak-
ing ready for that bumper crop
which awaits them this year.
Friends of Senator Robert L.
Owen are boosting him as Presi-
dent Wilson's successor. Boost-
ing for any one this early in the
term is rather premature, and the
Owen boom is likely to be pricked
be'ore 1916.
The Democrats are so adept in
gerrymandering that it would not
be at all surprising if they should
make shoestring districts for the
regional banks, something after
the fashion of the congressional
districts that were proposed for
Oklahoma by the last legislature
during the regular session.
The Democrats are trying out
another scheme. They see that
if something of a heroic nature is
not done A1 Jennings will knock
the persimmon from the guber-
natorial tree. So the machine
Democrats are favoring a primary
within a primary to get rid of
Jennirigs and Haskell and a few
others who, at a regular primary,
would stand a pretty good show
of securing a nomination.
4 campaign for the gjvernorship
for tie derelict A1 Jennings and to
this end offers amounting in sums
of alarming proportions have been
tendered," and then adds,
"Whether the fancy deserts before
it becomes time tor the million-
aires to use the pen is a natter of
conjecture but it is more than
arobible that the Honorable
Alphonso will en:er the campaign
equipped with more money than
he ever made iti the channels, of
outlawry. Armed with such a
fund, advertised t) such an extent
and wit ti a happy faculty of mak-
ing a mournful, tearful speech the
Hon, A1 will present himself as a
very formidable candidate for the
high office of Governor."
There are to be no secret hear-
ings on the anti-trust legislative
measures suggested by the presi-
dent. A change seems to have
come over the spirit of Demo-
cracy's dreams since the passage
of the tariff bill, which was a(p
proved by a caucus and rushed
through both houses without a
hearing.
By the way what has become of
that independent movement which
was born a few weeks ago—that
movement which was to fill all
state offices, from governor on
down the line, with men who had
shelved their politics for the good
of mankind?
A permanent and lasting auto
mobile thoroughfare is being con-
structed from Waurika east to the
Carter county line. Kiowa needs
such a road, for there is no county
in the state with equal population
that has-more automobiles, and a
good automobile road through the
county from north to south would
be a great blessing to traveling
public.
The Hon. W. H. Murray will
nave the race of his life, it is
said to retain a seat in congress.
H. H. Smith, his opponent, is
said to be a man of many parts,
and his chief characteristic is
getting votes. So the Hon. W.
H. W. should carry the cockle-
burrs from his mane and get
himself into running shape before
the bell rings, else we will lose
his valuable services in Washing-
ton, and then what will become
>f the Mexican war?
Huerta wants his army back. A
few days ago General Mercade
and his army when overpowered
at Ojinaga crossed the Rio Grande
into the United States for safety
from rebel pursuit. Now the
Mexican federal government
would like to get the troops back,
but to return them, it is said,
would be in violation of the
neutrality laws. So it looks as
though Huerta would have to
make his way without them.
Have you removed the bag-
worms from your trees? If no:,
you should neglect it no longer.
A1 Jennings should remember
thst the fellows whom he intends
to show up will do the counting.
As between former Governor
Haskell and A1 Jennings for gov-
rnor of Oklahoma, we would pre-
fer the latter, We know what
Haskell would do if elected, and
Jennings is untried. Probably it
will not be necessary to choose
between the two.
Some twenty million bushels of
wheat has been shipped into the
United States from foreign coun-
tries since the enactment of the
WilsonUnderwood tariff bill there-
by causing wheat to be consider-
ably cheaper. The farmers of
Oklahoma, Kansas, and in fact in
all western states are the losers
thereby.
As a result of the new tariff the
price of golf ball has declined
materially. This will be cheering
aews to poor folks.

but for what services the world
does not know.
All the emotional and sob
writers of the East are hanging
upon the neck of A1 Jennings.
And unless Oklahoma exhibits
more sanity in November than
she has at other times in the past,
Cruce's successor will be a man
who has sported a zebra suit.
Unless colder weather comes
within the next few days the
peach crop in this county will be
endangered. The unseasonable,
warm weather of the last two
weeks has caused the buds to
swell, and if the temperature con-
tinues as it is they will burst iuto
bloom at an early date.
It is proposed to take the boys'
and girls' industrial schools of

It is to be hoped the State Road
Law Revision Association may be
successful in its efforts to secure
the passage of laws that will con-
duce to better roads in the state.
While Oklahoma has the best
natural roads of almost any state
in the union, still they could be
greatly improved if the proper
attention were given them. This
however, will never be done under
the present system.
A movement is on foot to ex-
tend the Rock Island from Man-
gum to' Childreas, Texas, to
connect with tne Fort Worth &
Denver. Why this has not been
done before is one of the
mysteries which the ordinary
person cannot solve. At any rate
Hobart would welcome the ex-
tension, for when it becomes
necessary to take a trip toward
the west we have to back off a
considerable distance to get
good start. The extension would
obviate this necessity.
Senator Campbell Russell has
sent out letters to all the members
of the Fourth legislature with a
request that they contribute the
five days' pay they drew, after the
legislature had adjourned, to a
conscience fund to be used in the
initiation of the revenue law which
was declared unconstitutional by
the state supreme court. This
fund would amount to $4,290, if
all members should comply with
the request, since the salary of a
member of the legislature is $6 a
day. Each member, therefore,
would be required to refund $30,
But they are not likely to fall in
with the Russell idea. They have
the money in their "jeans" or
have spent it, and if there is a
conscience fund to be raised it
will have to come from another
quarter. In fact, if it is intended
to be used to initiate the mortgage
tax bill it would be far better to
raise a fund to inform the people
as to its iniquity and prevent its
passage.
Those democratic newspapers
which are making fun of the
woman who instituted suit against
Senator Gore for damages to her
feelings as a result of an alleged
attempted outrage should not
show too much levity before the
case is tried. The woman may
have a good cause of action, and
even if she has not, it is not a
matter to make jokes about.
In the contest for the Demo
:ratic nomination for the Govern-
orship the various candidates so
far announced each enters the
race with the hope of lining up
the solid vote of a certain element.
Herring has hopes of concentra-
ting the business vote and Bob
Dunlop has reason to expect the
banking vote. Charley West
should have no difficulty in get
ting the wooly vote. A1 Jennings
should have the sob vote solidly
lined up and Jim Robertson has
reason to expect a certain lodge
vote. The only candidate with a
cinch ij Bob Williams who has
the Red Book very solidly behind
him—Cherokee Republican.
RAPS SCHOOL DEMOCRACY.
President Wilson has promul-
gated what is practically an anti-
tipping law for the Canal Zone.
Aside from prohibiting employes
of the canal organization from re-
ceiving rebates or commissions on
supplies, it prohibits gifts intended
to influence any employe on the
isthmus without the knowledge
of the employer. The order pro-
vides a penalty ranging from $10
to $100 for violation i. The pres-
ident is to be congratulated upon
making such an order. Every
state in the union should have an
anti-tipplng law, for of the minor
evils, tipping is the chief.
C. I. Stewart, editor of the Enid
Morning News, the first to an-
nounce himself a candidate for the
United States senate against Sen-
ator Gore, is still in the race. The
fact that Judge Hayes has thrown
his hat into the ring will not cause
the editor 'to deviate from the
course which he has marked out.
He says: " In view of Judge
Hayes' announcement,even though
it might have been anticipated
thai I would withdraw from the
contest, I could not afford to do
so. I will finish the campaign
in my own interest without re-
gard to who gets into the race."
From this it is to be inferred that
it is a case of war to the hilt.
If he does pothing else, A1
Jennings has thrown a bomb into
the camps of Democracy in his
candidacy for *he nomination for
governor on the Democratic
ticket. He is by many looked
upon as a joke, but he promises
to be rather a grim joke for that
party. When he was a candidate
for county attorney of Oklahoma
county in 1912, they undertook
to defeat him at the primary by
withdrawing all his competitors
but one, the strongest in the race.
But Jennings, when the votes
were counted, had a long lead
over the machine choice, and was
given the nomination. He is
about as well known over the
state as any other candidate, and
he has a following in every com-
muntity. So when the votes are
counted it will be found that he
will not be the hindmost man.
And unless some of the candidates
are withdrawn from the contest
he is likely to get a plurality of
the votes. And the far-seeing
Democrats know this to^be true
and in consequence are alarmed
over the outlook.

Every Republican committee-
man in the county should announce
when and where the ward and
precinct caucuses are to be held.
This ia important and should not
be overlooked, notwithstanding
the chairman of the county central
committee has made a general
call for all Republicans to meet at
their usual voting places, but it
would be well for the various
committeemen to supplement this
by calls of their own and let it be
known what and where the usual
voting places are so as to pre-
vent misunderstanding*, lor the
caucuses can not be held else-
where than at the "u*uh! voting
places." Should any committee-
man fail or refuse to make a
supplemental call, ** indicated,
fhe Republicans would not be
precluded from holding their
caucus under the call made by the
chairman of the < omity central
committee. And should a com
mitteensan fail or rcfune to attend
the caucus the Republicans pres-
ent should orgai.,/0 und elect
their delegates to tli#> county con-
vention to be held at Hobart on
February 7, and in addition there-
to they should elect a precinct
committeeman for the ensuing
term. The precinct cHuaises have
been called for Saturday, Jan-
uary 31, at 1 o'clock, p. m.
