To Democrats Relative to Change in
Primary Pate Yotert Mast
Register.
J. B. Thompson chairman of the
state democratic committee has is-
sued the following statement relative
to the change of date for the primary:
The executive committee decided in
view of the decision rendered by
Judge Burford in the case of Joaeph
J. Adams vs D. M. Robb and others
constituting the supreme election
board for the state of Oklahoma that
it would be impossible to hold a legal
primary under the primary election
laws of Oklahoma Slay 23 1907 as
was decided by the state cent ral com-
mittee at Tulsa.
After the meeting at Tulsa on
March 2Gth Mr. Chapman the secre-
tary and myself busied ourselves to
get the party organized in all of the
counties of the state and in this we
succeeded. We then set about the task
of getting in touch with the commit-
tees and securing a meeting for April
13th when the judges and clerk
would be named and the notices for
holding a primary election gotten cut
and published for thirty days pro
ceeding May 23rd as required by the
primary election laws.
The county central committees
throughout the state responded splen-
didly and we would have succeeded
in holding the primaries on the date
named had it not been for the decis-
ion fn the Adams cane Mr. Young
chairman of the supreme election
board was ready to get the board to-
gether and lay out the precincts
when he was tied up by an injunction
which rendered it necessary for the
constitutional convention to entirely
change the election ordinance and cre-
ate entirely new election machinery in
the new counties of the state. This
delayed tthe laying out of election
precincts in all new counties and ren-
dered it impossible to name the judges
the month in which the primary elec-
tion shall be held for the purpose of
registering the legal voters of said
city and make it the duty of the city
clerk to furnish each election board
of each -ward a list giving the names
of the voters having registered from
that ward which list shall be kept at
the voting place for inspection and
examination and no voter shall be
permitted to vote in said ward who
has not registered as herein provided
In view of these conditons over
which the committee had no control
and which could not be foreseen at
the time of the meeting at Tulsa and
therefore could not be guarded
against and after going over the
matter fully the committee was of
the opinion that a legal primary elec-
tion could not be hi'ld on May 23.
The committee decided that it was
charged with the duty of conducting
a lejral primary under the terms oi
the resolution adopted at Tulsa. The
resolution there adopted provides a
follows: - '
"A primary for the nomination of
all state officers and of United States
senators shall be held throughout the
various counties of the state on the
23rd of May 1907. The said primary
shall be conducted under the provis-
ions of the primary laws of Qklaho-
homa entitled 'An Act to .regulate
the holding of the political primary
elections for the nomination of can
didates for any elective office under
the laws of Oklahoma.' "
The committee decided that a
change of date was necessary and
accordingly fixed Saturday June 8th
as the day for holding the primary

For Fire Department and a City Kail
Aldermen Confer.
Alderman Burton chairman of the
fire committee and Mr. Darnell of the
same committee were in conference
today in regard to taking steps to se-
cure new quarters for the fire depart-
ment. Both agreed that the present
quarters are entirely inadequate and
unsuited to the needs of the city. "I
am in favor of erecting a building
that can be used for the department
as a city hall" said Mr. Burton. "We
have a lot at Fifth and Chictaw and
a building that will answer presnt
requirements can tsput up f rbetwen
four and five thousand dollars. We
have had estimate on a two story
brick building of this kind for about
$4500. I am going to urge that the
city arrange to build it."

L Carpenter Candidate for (
frets will Address the Voters
of Chickasha.
on-
Hon. J. L. Carpenter of Mangum
who is one of the candidate for con-
gress in the Fifth district will ad
dress the voters of Chickasha and vi
cinity at the court house Tuesday
evening April 23.
Mr. Carpenter is well known
throughout Wuthwestern CkuJiuuia.
He has always been a good democrat
he "and it affords protection for ev-
ery interest of the people.
As to Mr. Greer's qualifications for
the office he seeks it may be said that
he was admitted to the bar in Ne-
braska in 1894 and latter when he
moved to Oklahoma was admitted in
Garfield couity in 1897 where he
served as the first city attorney of
North Enid. After practicing several
years he was elected register of deeds
of Garfield county for a term of two
years. ' !
Since coming to Chickasha about
five years ago' Mr. Greer has been ac-
tively engaged in business and he has
earned the highest respect and con-
fidence of every one by his upright
character and honorable dealings. He
will make a strong race and if elected
will certainly fill the office acceptably.
and is said to be an eloquent speaker.
nominating candidate by any othfr cordial invitation is extended to ev-
method than a primary. I maK Uk.s cry one near y
last statement in view or the receipt
of numerous telegrams inquiring the
object of the meeting. The state cen-
tral committee at Tulsa passed reso-
lutions conferring plenary powers on
the executive committee to" do all
things necessary to hold a primary
under the Oklahoma primary election
laws and it is under this authority
that the executive committee acted
instead of calling the whole commit-
tee together.
The executive committee also re
quests that in all counties where pri
and clerks for the primary election ; marieg have Citu for May 23
the county central committees meet
and change the date to June Pth so as
to hold all on the same date. By do-
ing this the burden of the primary
by the county central committees and
of course no judges snd clerks being
appointed no legal notices of the pri-
mary election could be published as

Strong Bryan Democrat
C. L. Greer whose announcement
for county judge appears in this pa-
per is a Bryan democrat of the most
pronounced type. Ever since the Ne
braska leader loomed into national
prominence !n 1806 Mr. Greer has
been his ardent champion and has
never relaxed for a moment in his ad
vocacy of the principles of democracy
as taught by Mr. Bryan who is his
ideal democrat.
Mr. Greer is in thorough accord
with the constitution adopted by the
delegates at Guthrie. ''That consti-
tution is democratic to the core" said
The fire department was called out
this morning at 11 :30 to the basement
under the postoffiee building where a
pile of trash was found to be burn-
ing. It was put out vrith no damage
to speak of. Fred Smith who has a
shine parlor in the front part of the
basement said that two men whom he
thought were Insurance inspectors
came in to look around and struck
matches to see their way. After they
went out he came back into the base-
ment and found smoke coming through
the cracks in the partition. The
blaze was evidently caused by care
lessness.

A general charge against the ene-
my all along the lines laws made by
the Anti-Saloon League forces in this
city yesterday. Speakers of state
and national prominence filled the
various pulpits of the city and the ar-
guments for "state-wide prohibition"
were strongly urged.
The Anti-Saloon forces won their
first victory in the new state when
they secured the submission of the
prohibition for Oklahoma to the peo
ple oi' the entire state and they are
now inaugurating a vigorous cam-
paign to secure the ratification of this
provision at the polls on August 6.
Rev. E. M. Sweet who is the lead
er of the Anti-Saloon forces in In-
dian Territory spoke at the Presby-
terian church and Rev. J. J. Thomp-
son secretary ef the Oklahoma league
addressed the congregation at the
Baptist church.
At the Christian church Rev. C. G.
Jones spoke interestingly during the
time allotted in presenting the cause
of the League. He told briefly how
the league was organized what it was
organized to do what it had done in
the new state. Mr. Jones stated that
between now and the time of election
that workers and orators from many
different states would be in Oklahoma
working against the saloon. He said
that it would take $35000 to accom-
plish the work intended and that sub
scriptions were being asked for. Sub
scriptions for the cause were also tak
en at the other churches. Evening
meetings were conducted by the diff-
erent speakers. "
The most distinguished of the tem-
perance orators was Hon. John G.
Walley of Chicago who delivered three
addresses at the Methodist church
during the day to the delight and
profit of the large audiences that j
heard him. Mr. Woolley is without
a superior as a temperance speaker in
America and for twenty-five years
