COW PEAS AND CANDIDATES
There are three crops which Oklahoma can depend on year after year,
wet or dry, in storin or sunshine: cotton, cowpeas and candidates can al-
ways l o depended on to produce, at least an average crop. The boll weevils
never bother the cotton crop, not even "Panhandle showers" and prairie dogs
can prevent a cow pea crop from making a maximum yield, while not even
death and devastation can prevent the annual and bi-ennial crop of can-
didates from bobbing up with statutory regularity. We had hoped that the
candidate season was over until the fall of 1918 but the 'nomination of Frank
Gault by Judge Edwards at the stock show banquet Monday night; its prompt
acceptance by that gentleman and its hearty endorsement by the crowd of
farmers, bring us face to face with this issue. The seed has already been
sown and some of them have commenced to sprout. And there are as man,\
different varieties as there are spy scares in wajj times. There is the "Gault
Gloom Chaser;" the "Robertson Repeater;" the "Alexander Axe Grinder;"
and the "Durant Dreadnaughts," to say nothing of a volunteer crop of hy-
brids. Gault and W. L. Alexander are avowed candidates for governor. J. B.
A. Robertson will undoubtly run again he always has and Bill Durant is
trimming his sails to catch the supporting wind from the "East Side." Prob-
ably the only way to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion as to which . of the
many sprouts shall be allowed to mature is by the process of elimination
Bill Durant has impressed his personality on every legislature since state-
hood. Ho is a strong man and has always been the friend of the "Greer coun-
ty gang" but we believe the time has come for a change and the next gover-
nor of Oklahoma soould coran from the west side, west of the old Indian
Territory line in any event, west of North Fork if possible and preferably
from Greer County. Dr. Border could win in a race of this kind without an
effort even though lie allowed Frank Gault to get several jumps ahead of him
in his own home town. The Mirror is for a west side man, lirst last and all
the time, Mayor Fowler Border first, Bill Alexander second, Frank Gault
thii-d, J. B. A. Robertson fourth, and believes that the proper place for Bill
Durant is on tho reservation.
While speaking of candidates it probably would not be out of line to
launch a little boomlet for one of the best men in the state for the office of
secretary of state. Senator Charles F. Barret of Shawnee has been mentioned
for that important office and we are under the impression that he would not
be averse to getting in to the game. One thing is certain; if Charlie Barret
does run, he will get the strongest kind of support from grand old Greer.

GET OUT OF THE DRAFT
President Wilson is insisting on his demand for the selective draft in or-
der to <jare for the present millitary emergency and maintains his stand in the
face of broadsides of telegrams from all quarters of.the United States, op-
posing the plan. We believe the presidental plan is the only solution of the
problem, not only of the one which confronts us today but those which may
come in the future. Many of us were opposed to"war but now that we have
one "wished on us," we are all in favor of winning it if it takes tho last po-
tato and the last penny. Even with selective conscription, placed in oper-
ation at once, the Kaiser might die* of old age before we could assemble and
train an army but with an eye on "future "debates" with ambitious auto-
crafts, it might be well to teach a few million men the difference between
"haw" and "gee"-and "hayfoot" and "hep." Even if Amorica did not need
soldiers today, she needs men who could bo soldiers in an emergency and
universial military training is the only solution.

It is esatimated that 250 people at-
tended the W. O. W. entertainment

ors. Judge Mansell, of Hobart, state

as did R. A. Shields, district manag-
er, of Blair: S. A. Henderson, of Lone
