WAMSLEY FOR
STATE SENATOR
(n this issue of tho Democrat will
bo found tho announcement of S. M.
WaroBloy for Statu Senator from the
Fifteenth Sonnlorial District which
embraces Caddo and Grady counties.
Mr. Wamsley is ono of tho pioneor
settlers of Caddo county having
sottled in Jefforson township his
present homo within seven months
after the county was openod for set-
tlement and has the distinction of
having built the first houso in Jeffer-
son township. Mr. Wamsley was
early recognized by tho democrats of
Caddo county as one of the ablo ex-
pounders and ardent defenders of tho
principles of democracy and at tho
tho first democratic convention held in
faAAn mtnftf Iia  nnmtrtntnrl frtr
County Commissioner for the district
of which Jefferson township was a
part and missed being elected hy the
narrow margin of CO votes. Mr. Wam
sley has been almost constantly
since the organization ot the county
an officer of his township or school
district and has at all times stood
ready with his time and money for
the bettorment of conditions and is
at tho presont timo township trustee
of his township and nttbe last meet-
ing of tho county Democratic Com-
mitteo of Caddo county Mr. Wamsley
was unanimously elected State Com-
mitteeman an office which though
most Important to the wolfare of the
party carries with it no emolument
but tho honor of serving tho party
and really moans a personal expendi-
ture of time and money.
Mr. Wamsley is at the present
timo one of the most progressive
farmers and stock raisers in Caddo
county and is tho owner of soveral
of the best farms in bis neighborhood.
He Is a man who has koot ahead of
tho times ard is well Informed as to
the needs and conditions of tho busi-
ness as well as tho farming classes.
Mr. Wamsley is also a school land
lossoe and has always Btood with the
lessees for the procurement of their
lands at a price fair to the lessee but
not detrimental to tke interests of the
state at largo. Mr. Wamsley h-s al-
ways been a stickler in his advocacy
of road improvement and in fact alert
and alive to each and every require-
ment that stands for the betterment
of genera conditions and we bnliove
that if in the wisdom of the demo-
cracy of tho Fifteenth Senatorial
District. If Mr. Wamsloy should be
nominated he will add additional
strength to tho ticket that the com-
mon enemy-must reckon with.

KEELER BAKERY
ENLARGED
G. W. Keolcr tho main street bak-
er has found it necessary on account
of his constantly increasing business
to enlargo his bako shop and other-
wise improve It. Mr. Keolur has been
in the business in Anadarko for years
and well merits the generous patron-
ago accorded.

of
Anadarko voted on a
certain proposition. The
majority said a certain
thing should be done.
Two members of the
School Board
should not be.
id it
It Was Not
Done!
Does this look like the
"majority rule" on
which we free Ameri-
cans pride ourselves?
Then again what about
that penalty of $5 per
day the Construction
company in charge of
the east building was to
pay in case the building
was not completed in
August? Is the building
yet completed? Has the
penalty been paid? )s it
true that the School
Board allowed the con-
tracts or bonds to be so
tampered with that the
bonds are worthless? If
this is not true as alleg-
ed why hasn't the com-
pany been compelled to
pay die penalty as any
ordinary Anadarko bus-
iness man would have
compelled a contractor
to do?
Is there really a "North
Side" to Anadarko so
far as the School Board
i T T 1
is concerned:1 nas me
North Side had
square deal?
Are the tax-payers
of Anadarko content to
let such a condition of
affairs last?
The Democrat De-
mands an Uncondition-
al Surrender and that
those guilty of bad faith
not only step down and
out but that they make
good. The law gives
the tax-payers recourse
in such matters they
need not tamely submit
to bullying and bluffing.

USING THE TRIFLES
PREVENTION OF WASTE ADDS
QREATLY TO INCOME.
In This Instance French Housekeep-
ers Rightly May Claim to Da
Ahead of Their American Sis-
ters Some Ideai In Point.
A French woman said that th
greatest menace to America's pros-
perity was not nor Immigrant prob-
lem but her gnrbago palls. As long
as they were filled with what would
keep a French family for a day wo
must ezpoct to come to a crash.
Fortunately wo aro doing bettor In
the matter of scraps. Perhaps it la
the corner on food products maybo
the dinning Into women's cars of the
value or left-overs but our garnago
palls are no longer aymbols ot waste-
fulneis. A good cook rarely finds anything
suitable for tho garbage pall. If she
doe not turn her odd blU ot bread
tato crumbs for frying aha utilises
them for bread puddings stuffing
croutons and small pieces of toaat for
tmder poachsd or fried eggs. The
remnant she throws to the birds and
get new knowledge of her feathered
friends from dally feedings.
Next Day'a Salad. Vegetable scraps
will be Just the thing for a next day
salad or It too messy for that they
can be molded with a thick white
sauce Into nice croquettes and fried
In deop fat. And the stock pot la
ever yearning for vegetables prefer-
ably freih but cooked left-overs ara
not to be despised.
Cold fish mahes good salad or cro-
uettos or can bo cut Into small
fteces mixed with a creamed sauce
and baked In Individual dishes with a
layer ot cheese or bread crumbs on
top.
Cold meats need not go Into the de-
spised hash. Thera aro all sorts ot
alee souffle and croquettes. Pieces
of cold roast beef that are no longor
big enough for slicing are delicious
when frlxxled In a little butter and
sorved with horse radish sauce made
from' whipped cream. Also the stock
yet yawns for the tiny "remnant for
sauces and gravies.
Saving on Lard. Ono should not
have to spend a small fortune buying
lard and other frying Ingredient
when- the fat from roasts beof steaks
drippings and the tops ot soups can
all bo turned Into a nice frying mo-
dlum. When there Is fruit that Is not nice
enough to serve by Itiolf or thera 1
too little of It make a compote or odd
It too a few lettuco leaves and cream
cheese for salad. Or It can bo stewed
and served In the cups of stale cake
or pate shells with a little whipped
cream on top.
Stale cako Is not hopeless aa long:
a you can make fruit sauces or sy
rich wtne sauce to pour over It a a
'softener.
Rice Into Dessert. Cold corn starch
can be served the next day with a
thick chocolate sauce and seem quite
like a new dessert and cold rice can
be mixed with egg cinnamon sugar
and a little butter molded Into cro-
quettes dipped In bread crumbs fried
and served as Spanish croquettes.
Stale crackers aro delicious but-
tered spread with cheese and baked
In a hot oven.
Cold tea grounds can be moistened
again and usod with a broom to settle
dust In sweeping.
Temperance Fruit Punch.
Mako a syrup by boiling four cup-
ful a of water and two cupfuls of sugar

CORPORATION
COMMISSIONER
In ourjregular announcement column

Senator Joe Strain for Corporation
Commissioner and tho biographical
sketch which appeared In Saturday's
daily gave a briof outline of his early
struggles his rise abovo tho obstacles
which confronted him nnd.his valiant
fight in tho Statn Logislaturo in tho
intcroBts of tho pooplo. Joo Strain is a
fighter ho can not bo bought bluffed
uBJolcd or coorcod whon he knows he
is in tho right and this the Standard
Oil mon found to their cost. No man
in tho Stato Legislature fought long-
er and harder for the wolfare of the
common pooplo than has Joo Strain
' Honest Joo" as he is called bysomo
"Fighting Joo" byothors loyal dem
ocrat by ll. During the days whtn
tho attention of tho onliro Btate was
focussod on tho fignt waged by the
peoplo against tho trusts in tho mak-
ing of state laws Senator Strain was
foremost in tho limelight as all eyca
were turned on him. In his loyalty
and sturdy defense lay tho hopes of
tho pooplo in his downthrow restod
tho hopes ot tho "Octopus" tho
Standard Oil intorests. The people
won even though seventeen
special cars wero in tho yards at
Guthria at ono timo and a score or
more or. lobbyists armed with the
most potential argument unlimited
cash wore working both inside and
outside tho Legislative Hall. To Joo
Strain belongs in great moasuro the
crodit of tearing from the shoulders
of tho producers of Oklahoma the
yoke of the Standard Oil and kindred
interests
With Joo Strain a member of tho
Corporation Commission from the
east sido the interests of tho common
peoplo will bo in safo hands. No man
is better qualified to "buck up"
against tho Standard Oil interests of
tho common peoplo than Joo Strain
tho man who has already won the
hardest fight over waged against any
Corporation in Oklahoma.
