WEAVER'S ATTACK OX BOX I) -THE RUSE OF A
AXD. DESPERA TE POLITICIAN
DESIGNING
The Hon. Claude Weaver has broken out with a pamphlet 'oh tne "Ho-
bart Convention Conspiracy" and an "Appeal to the Democracy of Fifth
District." As in his interviews the "Old Man o the Sea" "Sinbad"
Napoleon Caesar Laoeooc all well known characters in Oklahoma pol-
itics are made to play conspicuous parts being set forth with a grandili-
quent flourish of words that would do credit to any sophomore. Defiance
and vitriol of every brand are hurle i at the "machine politicians" who de-
fended the democrats of the Fifth District out of their right to nominate the
candidate by primary election.
If Mr. Weaver can prove that the action taken at llobart was done
by "fraud and illegal votes and usurped and pretended authority" he has
a perfect right to protest and is justified in doing so. He has a right to
fight the action of the committee as hard as he can if his charges are
true. But we are not concerned with that phase of the case at present.
The Express has always been for a primary and has no argument to make
in defense of the committee that called the convention. It assumes how-
ever in the absence of any proof to the contrary aside from Mr. Weaver's
allegations that the gentlemen who compose the committee acted ir good
faith and according to their best convictions in calling a convention.
It is with the attempt of Mr. Weaver to .shift the responsibility for
the committee's action upon Mr. Bond that we have to deal just now.
The Hobart meeting was held on Feb. 12 and Feb. 16." Mr. Weaver writes
a challenge to Mr. Bond calling upon him to meet him upnn the stump
to defend the action of the committee at the same Vims giving his letter
to the press. Mr. Weaver knew that Mr. Bond had used all possible in-
fluence and argument to induce the members of the committee to call a
primary that the action of the committee was not acording to Mr. Bond's
wishes but against the views 'he had consistently and persistently ad-
vocated before and at the meeting. We have not only Mr. Bond's statement
that this is true but the'teaimony ot numerous other witnesses. Why
then should Mr. Weaver seek to hold Mr. Bond responsible for the com-
mittee's action?
There can b but one answer to this question: Mr. Weaver who
claims' to be a "poor novice ia politics" thought he saw an opportunity
to put his most dreaded rival "in the hole." It was a foolish thought as
puerile as it was unworthy; a subterfuge too transparent to deceive any-
one unworthy of the man who makes such a picturesque play for honesty
and fairness. Did Mr. Weaver think for a minute that Mr. Bond un-
skilled even as he is in the art of designing politician would be simple
enough to be led into such a trap?
.Mr. Bond saw through Mr. Weaver's ruse even at the convention.
When the question was up before the committee and after Mr. Bond had
done his best ts dissuade his friends from standing for a convention
when Mr. Weaver approached him and declared his intention of holding
Mr. uond responsible for it the latter.digusted with the unfairness of the
man is repported to have told Mr. Weaver that he could go to the "bow-
wows." Mr. Weaver must have been driven to' desperate straits he must
have realized that he was strictly up against ;t to have resorted to such
an unjust attack and such misrepresentation in regard to his opponent.
He must have foreseen that he was powerless .-to combat Mr. Bond with le
gitimate weapons of political warfae when his desperation drove him to
strike below the belt.
Mr. Bond has never been . a politician in his life. He was born and
raised in the Indian Territory and being a democrat he has never been
schooled in practical politics. He was reared in the Chickasaw Nation and
his entire life whether as a boy on-the farm or a lawyer at the bar is an
open book. No one nas ever known him. to stoop to anything unworthy in
his private or public life. He is a gentleman ind is making his campaign
ou his own merits as a gentlman should. How favorably his candidacy
has been received is forcibly indicated by the fear that is shown by his on
y rival in this part of the district. Mr. Bond's character and his dem
ocracy are above reproach and the people recognize that ne has the abil-
ity and the integrity that qualify him for the high office he seeks. He has
nothing to fear from his detractors.

It's good news to learn that the Oklahoma Central is laying steel at
Purcell and is pushing towards Chickasha.
Secretary Stephens still has the "Workers Wanted'" sign out. Ap-
ply at once. He has a job for every man who wants to help build Chickasha.
Asphalt spreading goes on merrily on upper Chickasha avenue and 'e

The politician who fights fair and openly will receive better treatment
at the hands of the people than the man who attempts to use deception and
trickery.
It is gratifying to see good men coming out for county commissioner.
Here is an office that is second to none in importance to the tax payers
of Crady county.
Praise your town; tell the strannger of its good qualities; be a walk
ing advertisement for Chickasha; tell it at home and abroad that yours is
the best town on the map.
Sidewalk construction is progressing nicely on several streets. Why
not pass a motion that walks are to be laid on every street in the town?
Money could not be invested in a better way.

Hear sane statement of the vital issues involved in this great problem.
A young iady recently entered a Pauls Valley store and blushingly
asked a clerk if he had any of those elastic bands capable of being elong-
ated and adapted' at pleasure and used by the feminine portion of mankind
for putting around the lower extremities of tiieir locomotive members to
keep the proper position and required attitude for the habilamc-nts of
their libias. Holmes fainted and further deponent sayeth not. Ex.
Oklahoma needs men like Eeford Bond in congress. One of the most
important issues to the people of the state is the removal of restrictions
from the sale of Indian lands. Until this is done the eastern half of the
state will be held bark in agricultural developement its prosperity thwart-
ed and the larger part of the land remain untaxable.! Mr. Bond is a native
of the territory and an Indian by blood His argument from the point
of view of an Indian would carry weight in congress.
