OLDEN KIRCE.
The subject of this sketh who
is a candidate for the nomina
tion on the republican ticket for
the office of Commissioner from
the third District came from the
good old state of Missouri in the
year 1902 and filed on a claim in
Simpson Township on which he
still lives, and by careful mana
gement has built a nice home for
himself and family, and during
which time be has built for him
self a imputation for intregrity
and honesty which be will main-
tain whether he is ever elected
to office or not. Mr. Pierce is
well educated having spent three
years teaching school and hot
eral years in the mercbantile
business, which gives an ad van
tage of experience which is nec
essary to one holding the office of
commissioner. Mr. Pierce is at
present holding the office of Tru
stee of Simpson Township and
here again he has demonstrated
his buisness ability as be beleives
in the expenditure «>f public mon
ey where it will do the must good
to the most people. Strictly
honest broad minded and gene
rons,Olden Pierce, would make
tbe people of the third District
a good commissioner. TheTimes
asks the republicans of this Dis
trict to give his candidacy due
consideration.

J. H. BROWN.
The ab ve name is one that is
familiar to nearly every man wo
uian and child in Dewey County,
Mr Brotfn being one of the best
known men in Dewey County.
He was one of the early settlers
of the County settling on a furm
6 miles northwest of Lenora in
Huddon Township. In J901 he
was elected to tbe office of Sheriff
and when his first term had boen
completed he was elected by a
substantial majority and served
the second term with credit to
himself. He retired to his farm
at the close o his second term
and has lived there until two
years ago when at the earnest
solicitation of his friends he be
cause a candidate again for the
office of Sheriff, and though a
bitter fight was put up on him
by tbe opposition he was elected
by a good majority. One of the
fights that was made against him
at that time was that lie was a
friend of the whiskey interests
and that he would favor tbe boot
legger if elected Subsequent
evert* have proven that such is
not the case for aa 8 Iter iff Mr.
Btown used every meana within
his power to enforce tbe prohi-
bition laws of our state, as well
aa all other law. The Sheriff's
office ia one that ia extremely
hard to fill.aa to thisoflioer falls
the duty of keeping watch of the
law breakers, and in no case has
John Brown, been found wanting
If he receives the nomination he
will be re elected The voters
of Dewey County should give his
candidacy due consideration

W.A. CARLTON.
The aubjectof this sketch,who
ia askiug the voters of Dewey
County for the office of County
Attorney was born in the State
of Arkansas, where be was rear
ed on a farm. At the ageof 20
he left the parental roof and
aought the cotton fields of Texas
where he labored as a farm band
for several years, saving aeveral
hundred dollars and returning to
Arkanaas where he finished the
Academic course at BerryvilJe.
He graduated from the Iowa City
{Ia) law achool in 1883 with
high honors and returning to his
native state practiced law for
seven years. He was elected to
tbe legislature of tbe state of
Arkansas in 1891 and made a good
record. He afterward become
Principal of the bigh school
which position he held for sev-
eral years after which he resum
ed the practice of law where he
has continued to labor up to tbe
present time.. He has been a
resident of Oklahoma for five
years, 4 ofwhich have been spent
in Dewey County. He is licensed
to practice law in all the courts
of the state. He has al ways been
a steadfast republican in politics
he is however generous and res-
pectful to those who bold opposite
views. Quite and unasumei.ig
strictly honest and capable, there
is nothing that can be said aga'nst
him in the coming campaign by
his opponents, and certainly no
one in the county whoisqualifed
to fill this important office is
more entitled to office of county
Attorney than Mr. Carlton We
would respectfully ask the voters
of our county to give his candi
dacy due consideration.
E. L. PORTER.
The present County Treasurer
and candidate for re-election is
man who has spent the great
er part of his life in Dewey Couti
ty and is one of tbe county's
icost successful buisness men.
Coming to Oklshoma a poor
boy as did many others when the
country opened Mr Porter set
tied 011 what was a Jack Oak farm
near where now stands the town
of Oakwood. After clearing off
and improving the farm he en*
paired in the merchantile buisness
in Oakwood and by careful man
agement and hard work made a
success of this business. A had
fire last winter in the store
threatened to put him out of busi
ness but true to his nature he
went to work and soon bad an
other store in running order and
(s now conducting a general store
with hla usual success. As Coun-
ty Treasurer he has been dili
gent hard wovking and very care
ful of tha county's finances.
Rental and acomodating he has
made many friends in theconnty
during his term of office. He la
aaking the voters for the second
tern and they can do no better
than to elect him Mr Porter has
been a life loog republican, yet
hedoeanot parade hia politics
nor engage in discussions with
those differing with him. We
oommend his >oandidscy and be-
lieve that the voters should give
it consideration.
