Can You Afford to Do Without
COTTON SEED MEAL
Animals must have protein-fats and carbohydrates.
Corn, wheat, oats and bran mean nothing except that
they supply so many pounds of these three food ele-
ments.
Cotton Seed Meal Contains Over Three
Times the Protein of Corn,
Oats or Bran
Your milk cows, dry cattle, horses, mules, brood sows
and poultry need it. Feed a little every day the year
’round and note the rapid gains. It reduces the cost, of
feeding, thereby increasing the profits. All grain
feds are high and you cannot afford to feed without it.
Recognized by State Experiment Stations and leading
feeders as the cheapest and most economical Protein
on the market.

GROWTH AND POLICY
Four years ago the present Maxwell car was first offered to the
American public. We announced as the future policy of the
Maxwell Motor Company—the development and perfection of that one model—that as our production in creased—as new
ideas in equipment were tried and proved—to add them to our car, providing the addition of same did not interfere with
our fundamental idea—which was to produce the best—lightest—most efficient and economical car that it was possible
to manufacture.
A Maxwell ran 22,022 miles without stopping the motor.
This unparalleled achievement was under A. A. A. super-
vision.
APPEARANCE The beauty—the roominess—the
comfort—of the latest Maxwell.
Tts easy riding qualities—its easy of operation—and the
quality of its equipment—is best determined by investiga-
tion and trial.
Get in touch with the Maxwell dealer—investigate—com-
pare it with any car under .$1,000—and try the car out on
the road. That is the only place to pass judgment on the
Maxwell, as it was built for Highway, not Show Room, ef-
ficiency.
The Maxwell is mechanically RIGHT.

J. H. JolinStOn for Corporation Commissioner

To the Democratic Voters of Oklahoma:
Two years ago, at a belated hour, I announced my candi-
dacy for the position of Corporation Commissioner of Okla-
homa, not really expecting to be nominated in that race, but
as an advance notice that I intended to be h candidate in 1918.
During the 1916 campaign my friends became so enthus-
iastic that they believed I had a chance to win and insisted that
• I should get out and work in my own behalf. In order to
satisfy them I did finally spend fifteen days away from my
office interviewing the voters in fifteen counties of the state.
In the meantime they had made a most effective canvas
by mail, with the result that I carried the following important
counties, by handsome pluralities, in most cases, viz., Beck-
ham, Caddo, Canadian, Comanche, Grady, Greer, Jackson,
Kay, Lincoln, McClain, Oklahoma and Pottawatomie; ran
neck and neck with the man who did carry thfe following ad-
ditional counties, viz.: Blaine, Cleveland, Cotton, Creek, Cus-
ter, Jefferson, Kiowa, Logan, Murray, Noble, Okmulgee, Paw-
nee, Roger Mills, Stephens, Tillman, Washington, Washita
and Woodward; in fact, so close was the race in these counties
that the change of 882 votes would have landed them all in
tire Johnston columns.
QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE.
You should know the qualifications of any man aspiring
to this important office, therefore give you the following brief history:
Am fifty-three years of age. Left Ireland at nineteen and located in Illinois, where I farm-
ed, clerked in store, and taught school for three years. Took business college course in Dav-
enport, Iowa, and, upon graduation, w-as employed to teach the Practical Bookkeeping depart-
ment in the Bryant & Stratton Business College, Baltimore, Md. From there I went to Topeka,
Kansas, as accountant for the Santa Fe Railway, with which company I worked for fourteen
years in Accounting and Traffic Departments at Topeka, Chicago and Galveston.
Since 1902 I have been employed as Traffic Manager of the Galveston Chamber of Com-
merce, Oklahoma Traffic Association, and Oklahoma Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association, with
the exception of one year when I was assistant to the President of the M. O. & G. Ry., and
helped build that line from Wagoner, Oklahoma, to Baxter, Kansas.
During all of the time since 1902 have taken an active part in all kinds of rate regulation
matters, constantly appearing before the Texas, Oklahoma and Interstate Commerce Commis-
sioners, in the shippers' interest.
A man should be judged largely by his standing in his home community, hence beg to say
that at the present time I have the honor of being on the following Boards of Directors in my
home city, viz., Traffic Association, of which I am President; Board of Education;
Chamber of Commerce; Good Roads Association, and member of Advisory Board of Retailers'
Association.
I am a farmer by choice and own and operate a farm in Cleveland county, upon w-hich my
son and I raise shorthorn cattle, and Duroc Jetsey hogs.

EXPERT KNOWLEDGE NEEDED.
Just at present we need expert ability of a high order to cope with the traffic men of the railroads
Who are now acting as agents of the Director-General during the government operation. Our state rates
are enjoined, and during the period of the war. our only relief from burdens Imposed by our former oppon-
ents, to whose tender mercies we hare been entrusted for the time being, in, by a round-about appeal to
the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Director-General, after having exhausted our efforts and
arguments with the railroad men themselves, who are organized into committees at St. Louis and Chicago
While doing everything possible to win the war—we must not sacrifice all the ground gained during
thirty years of effort in securing regulative legislation only to find ourselves, at its close, in commercial
bondage to the Public Service Corporations of the country.
We must not be unfair to these necessary public instrumentalities and, when they are right, we
should not hesitate to say so; but, on the other hand. If their course drives us to an appeal to either the
Director-General or the Interstate Commerce Commission, we must lack neither the ability, determination
nor force to press the issues with telling effect, and for this reason I believe that my past training and
experience peculiarly fit me for this important work.
With this frank statement I place my candidacy before the Democratic voters of Oklahoma in full
confidence of their verdict on August 6th.
Sincerely yours, J. H. JOHNSTON.
