CHANDLER TRIBUNE
CHANDLER, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1914
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN
TION.
CHANDLER WAREHOUSE ASSUR-
ED.
The business men of Chandler have
formed a corporation known as the
Chandler Warehouse Company.
They held a meeting Wednesday
night at the County Court room. A
board of directors of the following
business men were elected, K. Jacobs,
J. H. Lockwood, J. L. Squires, Clyde
Crane, and John J. Davis.
A set of by-laws was adopted for
the regulation of the company.
The following officers for the cor-
poration were chosen, by the directors
Clyde Crane, President.
John L. Squires, Vice President.
A. E. Patrick, treasurer.
John J. Davis, Secretary.
These are all business men of
Chandler except John L. Squires who
is a prosperous farmer of Union town-
ship. We are glad to see the farmers
taking interest in this enterprise, it
ha-ill mean much to them to be able to
hold their cotton and not have to
sacrifice their summer’s work.
A suitable location has been chosen
and committees are at work. A meet-
ing of the board of directors will be
held Thursday night to complete ar-
rangements.
The company hopes to be able to
receive cotton and issue certificates
to the farmers by next Saturday.
The meeting of over five hundred
delegates and nearly two thousand
visitors at the Oklahoma State Demo-
cratic Convention last Tuesday, was
one of the largest conventions and
absolutely the most harmonious con-
vention ever held in the state.
Lincoln County was well represent-
ed; fully fifty of her citizens were in
attendance.
The key note was sounded by Hon.
Robert L. Owen in his address as
temporary chairman of the conven-
tion. We trust that we will be able
to reproduce this address in full in a
future issue of the Tribune, as we
consider it a classic and a master
piece. It was full of hope, full of
patriotism and good cheer. It was
largely devoted to a review of the
many accomplishments of the demo-
cratic party during the eighteen
mortths it has been in control of the
National Government and ended with
a plea to the people of Oklahoma to
keep this state in harmony with the
national administration.
After the temporary address, the
usual committees were appointed and
the convention took a recess until
two o’clock in the afternoon. The
committee on Permanent Organiza-
tion made a report, seating Hon. J. B.
A. Robertson as permanent chairman
and Hon. Chas. F. Barrett as perman-
ent secretary.
Judge Robertson made an enthus-
iastic democratic address, urging all
democrats to line up for the entire
ticket and laying particular stress
upon the necessity of voting for Judge
Williams.
Governor Cruce also made an ad-
dress which stirred the vast audience
to enthusiasm. In speaking of the
expenses of state government, Gov-
ernor Cruce showed that the expenses
of Oklahoma under democratic rule
was much less than any state of the
union under

alleged to have killed his father and
father-in-luw and wounded a hired

Norris in this case is being tried
for insanity before a jury.
Dr. A. M. Marshall testified that
in his opinion Norris was sane; that
if he had shown any symptoms of in-
sanity he was shamming.

all testified that in their belief he
was sane and that they had previous-
ly held an examination and that at
that time they had pronounced him
sane.
The jury went out at about 10
o’clock Thursday and shortly after
noon returned a verdist to the ef-
fect that the defendant was sane.
Norris will now be tried on the
charge of murder.
MORE GOOD ROAD WORK
REPORTED SINCE RAINS.
Just after the big rains, P. H. Ter-
rill, H. J. Presley, A. A. Stockwell,
A. B. Sutton F. A. Pierce and R. Mc-
Kibbon, formed themselves into a
road team, got a grader and went
to w’ork. The result is three-fourths
of a mile of graded road in fine shape
and an extra good job. This piece of
road begins at the S. W. corner ol A.
B. Sutton’s home place and runs south
three-fourths of a mile past P. H.
Terrill’s place. But not satisfied with
this, Sutton with several others went
down just east of his house and with
dynamite and just blew that rock
hill all to pieces, then they took their
teams and they have got a fine road
over that hill, and this was all dona-
tion work from these good people.
Senator Edmonson told the town-
ship that if they would plow the road
along the west side of his place
through that bottom, that he would
do the grading, they took him at his
word, and the result is that there is
a fine piece of graded road through
so muddy
vorce.
republican rule. He
showed that the expenses of main-
taining state government was very,
very small as compared with any
local government and pointed to the
fact that during seven years the en-
tire levy for state purposes was only
11 a mills and that in many cities of
Oklahoma, the levy for a single year
w’as that much or more. We might
say that last year the city levy for
the city of Chandler was twice as
much as all the levy made for state
since statehood. Or in other
* WE, THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE DEMOCRACY OF LIN-
COLN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, IN
CONVENTION ASSEMBLED, reaf-
firm our fidelity to the principles of
Democracy as enunciated by Thomas
Jefferson, practiced by Andrew Jack-
son, and now exemplified by Wood-
row Wilson. We believe that the
enforcement of these principles is es-
sential to the preservation of the
rights and liberties of the individual
citizen, the establishment of social
and industrial justice, the progress
and prosperity of organized society
and the perpetuity of free institu
tions.
We endorse the state and national
Democratic administrations in theii
efforts to keep the party’s faith, to
advance the general welfare and to
secure the blessings of political and
industrial liberty “unto all the inhab-
itants of the land.-’
We commend President Wilson, tc
the state and nation alike, as a patriot
president who worships God rather
than gold, and who serve man rather
than Mammon. We commend his ml
ministration as a conspicuous and in-
spiring instance of platform primis-
es converted into performances and
of campaign pledges enacted into law
The protective trust bleeding tariff
has been revised downward, not up-
ward. The rates have been reduced
frorfi more than forty to less than
twenty-seven per cent. The burdens
of taxation have been shifted from
necessaries to luxuries; from want to
wealth. The income tax has obliged
riches to share and to bear a just.
man at the head of the ticket and in
Senatotr T. P. Gore we have a man
who, by seven year’s experience in
our National Congress has proven his
worth to the State of Oklahoma and
established a world wide reputation
as a statesman.
The state ticket is made up of men
of experience and sagacity; men who
have gone before the people of this
state who have received the endorse-
ment of the individual voters of the
Democratic party at the ballot box.
We point with pride to the excell-
ent race made by Lincoln county's
favorite son, one, J. B. A. Robertson,
who came so near being the standard
bearer at the head of this ticket. We
recognize in him a strong man, a j
leader of the Democratic party and a j
power for great good in the growing i
State of Oklahoma, and we endorse
him for the position of permanent
chairman of the State Convention.
The Fourth Congressional District
of the State of Oklahoma is repre-
sented by a statesman who merited
purposes
words, it had cost the people of the
city of Chandler twice as . much to
maintain city government for one
year as it had cost them to maintain
the state government for seven years
since statehood.
Hon Prince Freeling, candidate for
Attorney General, also made an ad-
dress and Senator Gore in his usual
happy strain, made one of his typical
addresses, with which the people of
Oklahoma are so well acquainted. He
reviewed the work of the democratic
| party in Congress and told of the
surprise that would await some re-
j publican Rip VanWinkle that had
| gone to sleep eighteen months ago
that bottom where it was
last winter.
We have got a new road boss in
district number three . Do you know
him ? His name is C. H. Williams
and he is sure a road builder. Part
of his road is the old post line, com-
| mencing at the first line east of Mid-
lothian and going north. He has
worked three miles of road and it is
all good substantial work that will
last. He had from four to eight teams
at work for five days, the men who
helped were J. B. Chappel, Alex.
Rikard, W. R. Watkins, W. E. Free-
man, W. W. Rikard, P. D. Rikard, J.
the grader. Some of this work is on
Route 8 and some of it is on Route 8.
H. O. Grey has been cutting brush
along his farm on the roads which
improves the looks of the road and
farm.
H. A. Bridge has promised to cut
the brush and weeds on the roads
passing both of his farms, also others
have done the same. Let the good
work go on.
Fred Neal has donated enough am-
unition to shoot the stumps out of the
mile of road between section 22 and
27. Thanks Fred.
