Candidate for tie State Senate Ex-
presses kit Opinion oa tie Issues
Totkty the Express presents the
name of Attorney L. K. Taylor as a
candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for state senator from this
district. Mr. Taylor was born in
Tennessee 39 years ago and came to
this city from Pad-;cah Ky. where
he had practiced law for fourteen
years.
As a citizen of our town Mr. Tay-
lor has made many friends who are
enthusiastically backing him in this
race. He easily ranks with our bst
practitioners at the bar. In political
campaigns of the past his ability as
an orator caused many demands to
be made for his services and he often
went teyond the borders of his own
etat to defend the cause of dem-
ocracy. In 1896 under the auspices
of the National democratic commit-
tee he campaigned the state of
Michigan for Bryan.
Mr. Taylor is an active member
of the Christian church is an en
thusiastic Odd Fellow is also an A.
0. U. W. a member of the U. 0. G.
C. and was a delegate representing
his local lodge of the W. 0. W. in
its recent grand encampment at
Muskogee. He is a member of the
Commercial club and is an enthusi-
astic town bulder. He is married
and resides with his family in his new
cottage home at 9th street and Kans
as avenue in Chickasha.
' Mr. Taylor's record back in Ken
tucky wll be shown by the following
extracts from letters and resolu
tions in his possesion.
"ayor D. A Yj:r ef Pudurai
Ky. (who is serving his fourth term
as mayor) says: ':'
Tor fourten years Mr Taylor
has stood as one of the leading mem-
bers of his profession in tMs city
which is filled with able lawyers. He
Is a first elans competent attorney
energetic and watchful of his clients
interest. " He is a moral
christian gentleman and in al1 my
intercourse with him I have had ho
cause to criticise him.
lie is a valuable acquisition to an
community and I am sorry he sees
fit to leave our city."
The judge of the Circuit Cjurtand
the commonwealth's attorney in Mr.
Taylor's old district in certifying to
tha local bar that Mr. Taylor is n
practicing attorney says:
"We are well acquainted with Hon.
L K. Taylor. For fourteen years
he ha been actively pnA nveftjlly
engaged in the practice of law in Pa-
ducah. ii;S c?ai abii.
ity is cf the very h'ghwt bandar.!
and his private an jprotViona!
character are above reproac'. j
We most heartily recom
mend him to the favorable consider-
ation of the profession and to the
public."
Mr. Taylor ha3 always been a
friend of the laboring man in his just
demands and frequently represented
the labor organizations of his state
and the Farmers Union before com
mittees of the state legislature and
in any litigation they had in courts.
The following is from an endorsement
under seal by the Central Labor
Union of Kentucky:
"This organization js under lasting
obligations to the Hon. L.K. Taylor
for services rendered us in the past.
His ability and ingenious skill have
in ' times past been our only hope.
He never lost a case or a point he wa?'
fighting for in our behalf.
He has the laborers interest at heart.
He is one of the ablest practictoners
at the bar a fluent orator and a
christian citizen worthy the confi-
dence of all."
Mr. Taylor holds a resolution
adopted by the Odd Fellow's lodge of
Paducah after his departure which
he most highly prizes since it is very
unusual for such organizations to en-
cumber their records with such reso-
lutions when their members move to
other parts. Here are a few ex-
pressions tfrom the lengthy resolu-
tion i
"We desire to testify to his sterling
worth as a c;l'zen and an Odd Fellow.
He taught and practiced
fraternity among men.
His walk in life has beei such that
the best might follow.
The bar will r.iss him as one of its
leading lights the town will miss him
as one of its enerprising citizens and
our lodge will miss him as its fore-
most champion of Friendship Love
and Truth."

UPHEH JUDGE
Chickasha' s Popular Delegate to the
Convection Enters the Contest
for Judicial Honors
"For judge of. the supreme court
Samuel W. Hayes."
That's one of the announcements
that appears in the Express today.
Ever since Mr. Hayes began ta
come to notice as one of the strong
delegates in the constitutional con-
vention his name has been con: ited
with this honor and since the con-
vention adjourned his friends at
home and all over the state have
been urging him to come out for the
office. During the convention Mr
Hayes studiously avoided any politi
cal alignments and he did his work
conscientiously and patriotically with
no political objects in view. It was
only within the last few days that
he finally decided to enter the politi
cal arena for one of the highest of-
fices within the gift of the people of
Oklahoma.
When Mr. Hayes was elected dale-
gate from the 85th district he was
but little known outside of this lo-
cality. When he left the convention
it was conceded that no man had
done more faithful or effective work
and none had won more distinction
than he by his labors. It was
through ability and industry alone
that he became the commanding fig-
ure that he was in the convention.
The committee assignments of Mr.
Hayes were among the most import-
ant in the convention and as the
work progressed the delegates be-
gan to more and more defer to his
judgment and to trust his leadership.
At the very beginning he was plac-
ed on the first committee named that
on rules and order of business. Then
he was assigned to the judiciary com-
mittee ed of this body he was a
rimber of the sub-committee that
drafted the judicial system of the"
state. As chairman of the legal ad-'
visory committee Mr. Hayes did an
immense amount of work many prop-
ositions being referred to that com-
mittee for advice. He was also a
member of the committee on federal
relations chairman of the commit-
tee on schedule and a member of the
committee on impeachment and re-
moval from office. Mr. Hayes pre-
sided over the committee of the
whole pVobably half of the time and
he was recognized as a model pre-
siding officer his ruling3 always be-
ing impartial.
Mr. Hayes says he was almost
equally interested in all parts of the
constitution but the fellow-servant
law the oath of office homestead ex-
emption provision and the judiciary
system are propositions to. which he
devoted special attention.
"Judge" Hayes as he may be
called in the future for he will be
nominated and elected was born in
Huntsville Arkansas thirty-two
years ago. When he was two years
of age his parents moved to Texas
where the future jurist lived till he
was twenty-one years Of age when
he moved to Ryan I. T. After teach-
ing school three years he engaged in
the practice of law which he has fol-
lowed for seven years making an
enviable reputation for himself as u
successful attorney. Mr. Hayes wa
educated in the high schools of Tex-
as and in the University tf Virginia.
He is a self-made man in every
sense. He is fitted for the office he
seeks as few men are. His high
character his legal learning and
ability his judicial temperament all
combine to make him an ideal man
for supreme judge.
they might have an election. Bal-
lots and all the election machinery
were properly prepared an i the pu-
pils proceeded" to vote on the nominees
for city offices. The result was an
overwhelming democratic victory Mr.
Cochran Mr. Goodwin and the rest
of the democratic ticket being elect-
ed by majorities of from two to tree
to one. It appears that a pretty big
crop of democrats is being grown in
Chickasha.
