DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD
NOMINATE FREE HOLDERS
TO WRITE THE NEW CHARTER
Of the City by S. T. Bledsoe Who
Makts Several Timely Sug-
gestions and Draws Perti-
nent Parallels
The qnostlon of writing a now char-
tor foi the future government of the
city of Ardnioro Is the subjpot that is
uppermost In the minds of tho citi-
zens at this time. The prevailing
opinion Is that Ardmore one of the
most progressive cltlos In tho state
should havo a progrosslvo charter
Ktich as other progresslvo cities "nave
llko Port Worth. Dallas Dos Moines
Iowa. Tho pooplo nro of ono mind to
write a charter along modern ideas
that Insure tho pooplo of Ardnioro a
commission form of government.
While many pcoplo aro of tho opin-
ion that tho charter Bhould ho writ-
ten by pooplo of ovory political faith
the democratic club of this city wants
tho charter niado a domocratl& docu-
ment and wants It written by repre-
sentative men of tho party tho samo
as tho charter of tho stato was writ-
ten. S. T. HIedsoo n prominent demo-
crat of this city In giving his reasons
why tho chartor Bhould bo written by
democrats has the following to say:
"I noticed In Tuesday's Democrat
an Interview with what was stated to
be a prominent citizen lu which he
Wo want your work and
I
you'll bo glnd you ;avo It

advocated tho elimination of politics
in the consideration of tho si lection
of fteelioldeiH to prepare tho new
charter for tho tlty and looked with
disfavor upon the action of tho demo-
ci. me club In arranging to make nom-
inations. "It Is to lie r"grcttod that tho
Democrat did not glvo tho name of
the prominent citizen so that por-
sous roudlng tho artlclo might know
his politics and his interest lu tho
matter. This of course would not
affect any logic or want of logic used
to hiipisirt his contention.
"It Is 'hardly possible for mo to be-
lieve that a democrat was tho author
of this Interview or that any demo-
crat itmld seriously consider tho
proposition of killing tho party local-
ly. When wo had up for considera-
tion the question of the election of
the delegate to tho constitutional
contention a speech was mado at the
Democratic club insisting that tho
charter of a great stato was a busi-
ness proposition; that it ought to bo
non-'iarttnan and tho best men se-
lected. A largo representation was
present at tho time and tho club was
unanimously of tho opinion that tho
best men Bhould bo found Ip ih
rinks of tho democratic party. Ttiat
in writing tho uhartor of a groat stato
there was a wldo difference boiwtjn
the principles ndvocated by tho two
parties that only those who .'.ivorod
Hie principles of tho dotnocri.'j par
ty ought to be permitted to writ) the
charter of tho great state of Okla-
homa. "This Is no loss truo with rel'jroure
to tho proposed charter of tlei city
of Ardnioro. This chartor can bo
mado so as to place In tho Iu.pU of
three or four people unlimited power.
I'heso people can bo permitted to se-
lect everybody except themselves
who operate or control any depart-
ment of tho city government. That
would be a republican plan. Tho pro-
vis on i ;.n bo so mado as to mako ev-
ery olllce within tho city olectlvo un-
der the new plan and therefore glvo
force and effect to tho democratic
id' a that the majority has tho right
to control. 1 think It can bo very well

CHARLIE CART
BY FBI
Although it was written long ago
thnt a prophet is not without honor
save In his own country a saying
old and true It Is not truo all of
tho time nml it Is not truo lu the
case of Charlie Carter our congress-
man from this district.
Some time ago Immediately after
the uons was received here by wlro
announcing the fact that tho bill
for the removal of restrictions had
pasted iboth houses of congress
friends of Carter wlh Kd Hoborts
at the head began to think of some
suitable way to welcome Charlie homo
and to show their appreciation for
what he had done to put this section
of the stole on the samo footing with
the other sec'Ion.
The most fitting manner that could
suggest Itself was to tender our roi-
restiiitatlvo a reception and banquet.
Kd Huberts n prince of men. who
does nothing by halves was put In
command to make all nrrungomcntH
and they wore made and the old
time friends of Charlie Carter gath-
ered logethur at the festal board to
welromo him home.
Mirth and wisdom hold sway and
wit flowed from tho lips of tho
speakers like wator from a babbling
brook.
Tho affair last night was such an
uncommon one thnt by necessity the
nffalr must bo written up In an un-
common mannor.
At the head tablo sat Judge
Ittissell. a man of d'gnlfled mien
who when In court wields Justlco In
n manner nover before seen. l.ast
night he was In his glory and to ono
and all wished thorn to toast to Our
Chnrllo's good cheor.
Thus the banquet openod with nil
around while sweet music gave zest
to tho words of wisdom.
Tho first toast was drank stand-
ing and proposed by tho Judgo to
our guest.
Judge HtiBsoll was In his glory
ami his Introduction of tho speakers
was such as only Judge Russell can
Introduce them.

"Mr. ToasttniiBter and Gonllomon:
It Is sftld the ancient Romans ox-
celled all nations of antiquity In
the liberality of pralso to their vic-
torious citizens nnd on such a scale
that looms largo and groat amidst
the dim magnificence of Intervening
cetiturlos. It Is but fit and proper
'hat mankind Uin- Id iceoid to thf-so
of Its members who havo distinguish-
ed themselves all tho honors that
they d"servo.
In view of this happy custom we
have met here to welcoino homo after
arduous nml dllllcult duties our prom-
inent citizen who ropresents tho
fourth district of Oklahoma In tho
congress of tho United Stntos. What
he has done there will soon be a mat-
ter of remunerative hlRtory and will
bo an Impetus to tho Industry and
upbuilding of this young common-
wealth of ours. I hope' that tlie end
of what promlBos to Congressman Car-
ter to be a 'brilliant careor Is still
far distant but In the socurlng of tho
removal of rostrlct'ons ho has achiev-
ed the greatest victory of his life.
He went to congress with tho ap-
prehension upon the part of many
and the declaration of others that In
tho attempt to remme restrictions ho
was going to certain defeat. For five
long and weary years wo had beon
sending specially accredited repre-
sentatives to Washington nnd thoy
had failed; and congress became so
radical In Its opposition that It saw
fit to reject tho recommendntlona of
Its own specially selected committee.
Hut In tho face of all those ho has
returned to his homo crowned with
success In accomplishing this ho feels
that ho has done his whole duty. Ho
wired Bomo of us 'Tho restrictions
bll lh as passed both houses of con-
gross. I am ready to como homo.' Tho
slmplo statement 'I am ready to como
homo' shows what a grent heart Con-
gressman Carter has. Having done
his whole duty he was willing to
forego oven for a short time tho pomp

SANTA FE IS DETOURING

From This Point.
Ardnioro Is pntctlcally out of tho
woods so far as train service Is con-
cerned with tho exception of service
north of hero on Santa Fo and until
tho waters subside lu tha little can-
yon above Dougherty tho Santa Fo
will bo compelled to detour their
trains over the Itock Island to llatley-
vlllo. Tho Prlsco-Kuty bridge nt Deli-
Ison has boon repaired and tho Hrt
train to arrive over that lino
came In last utgtit.
Tho Santa Fe U u llttlo ha'd put

ing can be dono In the way of bocur-
Ing train service north until Ibo

paired. News wtt reci'.vbd this morn-

as the water had begun to recedo
I with prospects of tho hands being"
I able to repair tho damage within the
I next twenty-four hours so as to per-
1 mlt a resumption of train sorvlce.
The one thing that is causing somo
trouble to the Santa Fo at this time
Is to secure equipment to handle the
trains. Regular train No. IS was de-
toured north this morning by way ot
Fort Worth over tho regular Santa
Fe Hue and thence over tho Itock

modate about CO passengers vhoso

tho Santa Fo has about 00 passengers
laying over horo awaiting an opportu-
nity to go out. Should tho Santa Fo
; local agent not secure tho equipment
so us to bo In a position to detour
tho train north then further trouble
;may bo expected.
