To The Democrat
From A Father
The leoture at the M.E. ohuroh
Monday night was a success. A
large audiunoo was present and
fully appreciated both the pictur-
es and the lecture. At the con-
clusion a vote was taken on tho
question "Would Anadarko be
better off without the saloon?"
and a unanminous vote was given
by the boys and girls against the
saloon. Then the older ones
wore given a chance and quote a
number voters against the saloon.
None voted for it. There were
some men and women w ho did
not vote either way. The Leo-
turer gave an invitation for any
one' to speak in favor of saloon to
oorreot any thing he thought was
amiBtatomont about saloons by
tho leoturer and no ono would
speak.
Why is it that no one will de-
fend the saloon? If the saloon
ia suoh a drawing card for a oity
why don't some ono speak for
theml The leoturer said ho
oould tell tho drunkard's ohildren
on the streets and uskod the
question "How can I do bo
boya?" Tho anpv.er came from
Boveral "beoause they are "rag-
ged" and hungry." One boy said
ia it so? "Ia it?" ThiB oity
and every oity wants more such
leoturers. WantB men who aro
fearless in suoh matters. From
tho enthusiasm exhibited last
night by tho anti-oigaretterB it
is easy to guess the fate of tho
ooffin nail in Oklahoma. Com-
Jas. H Dunlop Agonoy car-
penter went down to Ft. Sill
school last night to put tho roof
on the girls' domitory that was
burned last February.

When told of the decision of
Judgo Burford last night Dole-
gatd W. C. Hughes of this oity
said that ho was surprised at his
holding that tho convention had
powor to divido old counties as
that was a question on which all
uttorneys who' had investigated
the matter exhaustively were
agroed.
"I have not looked into the law
on tho quostion of tho powor to
creato an eleotion board" said
Mr. Hughes "but I have great
confidence in the attornoys in the
convention who helped framo tho
provision and for one am will-
ing to stand by thoir interpreta-
tion of the enabling aot to tho ex-
tent of oarrying tho question to
tho supreme court of tho United
StateB if neaos8ary.
"Of oourso I know nothing of
the attitude the convention will
take on the decision of Judge
Burford. but I believe it will re-
sist all interferonoo from the
territorial oourtB.
"It ia probable that a legal
committo will bo sent to Wash-
ington to apply to the supreme
oourt of tho United States for a
writ of prohibition preventing
the territorial and federal courts
of the territory from interfering
in any way with the work of tha
convention."
