The 1915 session laws provide In
fcubstanee that no candidate shall
isve his name placed on the official
ballot at the general election unless
at the preceding primary election all
candidates for that office Bhall re-
ceive at least 27 per cent of the
party votes as cast at the preceding
gubernatorial election. That applies
to every public office In the state
above township and minor offices
and means that unless 27 per cent of
uch Republican votes are cast at the
primary election August 0 1918 tho
Republican party will become ex-
tinct. Good government demands the ex-
istence or at least two great political
parties that each may criticize and
checkmate the other. Tho Republic
an party In this state Is facing the
greatest crisis known to Its history.
Something over 100000 Republican
votes were cast at the last guber-
natorial 'election which means that
U a party we must poll and have
counted) 128000 votes at tho primary
election' August 6 1918 or the Re-
publican party will be a political
corpse.
When did we have a more popular
candidate for governor than was
John Field? And do you remember
that ho only polled .11000 votes at
the primary! Is that not getting
dangerously close?
There are about 15000 Oklahoma
Republican voters In the military
service ot our country many or wnom
will bo In France August G 1018.
And there are a number of counties
In the eastern part ot the state that
'will have no Republican candidates
for the nomination this year so no
Republican votes will be needed in
such counties and tho death knell of
our party will be rung this fall un
less each Republican casts his ballot
at the primary election August C
1918 and takes It on himself to seo
that every other Republican docs the
same thing.
Do not be misled by anyono's prop
agande that this law has been re
pealed and do not commit political
suicide by falling to vote. Every
good Republican should not only cast
his ballot at said primary but sec
that every other Republican does the
same thing on August C 1918. Do
sot forget tho date. That will be a
very busy time but wo cannot afford
sot to take the time to go to the
solid.

As soon ns possible aftor tho wheat

plowed tn ordor to stop all weed
growth which uses up tho moisture
nnd to preparo tho land to absorb

seedbed preparation for wheat
showed tho following results: Over
a period ot five years July plowing
gavo an nvorago' ot flvo bushels more
per aero over September plowing and
7-Inch plowing gave an average of
six pushols per aero over plats that
wore disked.
Break your land nt a depth of

harvest ns possible. Should you not

barpestlng your small grains disk

WOMKN JjEGIHIiATORS '
Arizona men lcrrlilfitors seem to
.like having women colleagues In tho
legislature of their state now mat
they have got used to them. They
told the three women representatives
of the Arizona house Just how proud
they were of their records nnd they
put flowers on their desks on the last
day of the special session of the
Third legislature this June. They
also gave hearty praise to the women
tor the kind ot legislation they had
achieved.
In Arizona a woman suffrage
state when a thing Is well done It
seems to meet with approval
whether it was done by a man or by
a woman. And apparently the
women's legislation was well done.
There were three women legisla-
tors In Ariiona In the third term
ono from Maricopa county one from
Cochise and one from Santa Cruz.
One of these women had put through
a child welfare bill another a min-
imum wage bill for the protection of
young women workers another had
shoved up educational standards for
tho state
This legislative session at which
the wqmciurecelvcd their ovation was
one for special war measures one ot
which presented by Mrs. Oeorgo
Marsh was a loyalty bill of the most
patriotic sort.
All three of these women aro home
women simple evcry-day housewives
'vto can do their own housework
when necessary who raise vegetables
and can them Just like anybody's
wife or mother.
Mrs. Marsh who lives Just across
the border from Sonora Mexico Is a
widow with two daughters and she
took over her husband's big hardware
business after his death and ran It
efficiently. Business men say her
word Is ns good as her bond. Sho Is
tho daughter of a minister n grad-
uate ot an Illinois university. In
other words an all-around efficient
womnnly person who can do a big
Job when It Is put up to her to do.
And It wao of her that Governor
Hunt ot Arizona made the remark
that she has "upheld the honor ot
Santa Cruz county as no other repre-
sentative has ever done."
These three women have made for
themselves tho same kind of record
as the women legislators of other full
suffrage states.
"Where women have been candi
dates for office." says the Los Ange-
les Tribune. "It has been In answer
to a public demand for doflnitc serv
ice or In calm deliberate recognl
tlon ot woman's share In the privi
leges nnd burdens of the state
rather than an expression of Indi
vidual political ambition or desire
for notoriety.
"In other words woman's deslro
for the ballot Is proven to bo In pro-
tection of tho 'home In loyalty to tho
country. In a deep Interest In the
well being ot humanity nnd an In
born passion for effectlvo service In
every right activity. Thero Is thus
far a singleness and sincerity of pur-
pose shown in woman's use of the
ballot which men In general might
well emulate."
Mrs. J. C. Hodge returned Satur-
day from Exceslor Springs Mo. to
which place sho had yone with Mr.
Hodge tor tho benefit ot his health.
He was feeling Improved when she
left. His mnny Beaver friends will
hopo to receive continued news of his
Improvement.
Marie Harris was called to Law
ton Thursday of last week by tho Ill
ness of her mother who Is In n hos-
pital In thnt city. Latest word from
her Is that her mother continues tn a
very critical condition and that no
hopes are entertained for her recov-
ery. Beaver friends of Miss Helen
Murphy primary teacher here will
bo glad to know that the operation
which was recently performed on her
llttlo brother Fred at Mayo Bros.
Rochester Minn. was successful and
that he Is Improving nicely.
