The Mountain Park Herald
MOtJNTAIN PARK, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY AUGUST 30, 1907
THE OUTLOOK IN IdOWA
Democrats Will Elect Pull County
Ticket If Thej All Vote—Con-
stitution and Prohibition
Will be Adopted
The republican campaign com-
mittee has figured it all out and
announces that they have a plu-
rality of 81 votes in Kiowa coun-
ty, and expect to elect every
man oh their ticket We don’t
know what they base their fig-
ures on, and we shall continue to
believe that they are not correct
by at least 400 votes.
After a careful study of the
situation all over the county, we
are of the opinion that the dem-
ocratic ticket, 'from governor to
commissioner will carry by a
comfortable plurality.
However,
The full democratic vote of
Kiowa county must go to the
polls, or we may have half a doz-
en republican county officers,
send republicans to the legisla-
ture and have a republican judge
on the bench of the district
court'
There are two points which
many voters should consider be-
fore they say, *'I guess I won’t
take the trouble to vote; there
are enough without me. ’ * These
are the facts that we mu»t elect
a democratic legislature if we
want to send democratic senators
to Washington, and we must poll
enough democratic votes for
Judge Tolbert to offset the nig-
ger votes Tom Connor will get
in Blaine county.
The names of the democratic
candidates for U. S. Senator will
not appear on the ballot. They
must be elected by the legisla-
ture. Any democrat who desires
the election of Owen and Gore
must vote for the democratic
nominees for the legislating.
This judicial district is by no
means strongly democratic, Lus-
ter and Blaine counties being re-
publican. Do the democrats of
Kiowa county want Tom Connor
for district judge? No? Then
come out and vote for Judge Tol-
bert, who needs every democrat-
ic vote in this county.
The republican nominees are
making a ' 'still hunt” for demo-
cratic votes, and they are work-
ing the friendship game for all
i^is worth. They have added to
it a plea to disregahl party lines
and vote for the man you «think
in best fitted for the office. Snn-

Size up the bunch. Is there
one of the republican nominees
so far superior to his opponent
as to warrant splitting your tick-
et? We think not.
Size up the bunch. You know
all of the democrats. You never
heard of most of the republirans.
Y ou know where all the demo-
crats stand on all the issues of
the day; you don’t know where
their opponents stand, except:
that they are against all the
principles of democracy and the
Constitution.
The ballots at the coming elec-
tion will be a complicated affair.
It will require considerable study
to vote correctly. If there is
much scratching there will be
many mutilated ballots. Why
run the risk of losing your vote
by scratching when you can vote
straight for the best ticket the
democratic party ever put in the
field. Stamp the rooster.

The Constitution will receive
at least 80 votes out of every 100
in Kiowa county. Every demo-
crat will vote for it and fully
half of the republicans are for it
since the document was amend-
ed to suit them.
Prohibition will carry in this
county by an equally large vote.
While neither party has taken
up this question as an issue, it
is known that all the democratic
nominees are in sympathy with
prohibition, while most of their
opponents are not Remember,
Mr. Woter, that any prohibitory
law will be a failure unless the
officers are in sympathy with it
