Medical circles in the state are being bom-
barded the past few days with letters from Alex-
ander headquarters seeking to further the latest
submarine attack on Judge Robertson, leading
candidate for governor. Alexander having first
recognized the leading exponent of the chiro-
practors, or “rub doctors”, who were legislated
out of Oklahoma by the 1917 legislature, but
naming their leader and chief lobbyist, Master-
son, as manager of his campaign, has now
secured the services of Dr. Salmon of Oklahoma
City, who is addressing personal letters to the
doctors and druggists of the state submarining
Robertson. It recalled that Governor Cruce re-
fused to appoint Dr. Salmon as state commis-
sioner of health. Rumors about Oklahoma City
indicate that Alexander has promised Salmon
that he is to head the health department in case
the state is turned over to the submarine form
of government. The chiros claim more than five
thousand devout followers signed up. Master-
son has promised to deliver them to Alexander.
Dr. Salmon, who was selected by the state
medical association as a member of their legisla-
tive committee, has assumed authority to act for
all physicians and is working among the doctors
who so bitterly condemn the chiro doctrine of rub
healing.

IS IT THE WILD CAT OIL MEN?
In an open letter to the voters, discussing the
gross production oil tax, W. L. Alexander says:
"It certainly must be patent to the intelli-
gent oil men that any attempt upon their
part at the coming legislature to cause a re-
duction in this tax will result in an increase
thereof.”
i If this he true, who would be hurt if the oil tax
question is reopened ?
And if a reopening of the question would in-
evitably cause an increase in the taxes on the oil
companies, whom is Alexander seeking to pro-
tect when he states: “I am emphatically op-
posed to any effort to reopen the question?—
Frederick Leader.
Perhaps Mr. Alexander had in mind his con-
nections with several wild cat oil companies and
his position as shown on page 21 of the printed
minutes of a meeting of the American Oil Re-
fining Co. stockholders held at Oklahoma City,
January 7, 1918. In that published report, cir-
culated only among stockholders, appears the
following:
“Mr. W. L. Alexander had requested that
he not be considered for director this year
as his time would be fully taken up with his
campaign for governor, and that he conse-
quently could not give the affairs of the
company the attention they should have
from a director; indicating that he could
serve the company better this year by being
; elected governor than by acting as director.
Since the present contest for the democratic
nomination for governor has resulted in the pre-
sentation of several practically unknown candi-
dates, it is recalled that at least one candidate
has sought since statehood to obtain a job under
the state government and is still persistently
seeking to get both feet in the public trough.
Bill Alexander, whose home precinct and home
county repudiated him when he ran for state
treasurer, “was favorably mentioned” for ap-
pointment as a member of the state board of af-
fairs under Governor Haskell. Haskell would
have nothing to do with Alexander throughout
his administration. When Governor Cruce was
inaugurated Alexander applied for appointment
to the state board of affairs. He was rejected.
Although some of Cruce’s strongest supporters
in Oklahomba City demanded Alexander’s ap-
pointment, he was entirely ignored by the Cruce
administration, despite the fact that Alexander
supported Cruce in his two campaigns for the
governorship. Evidently these two chief ex-
ecutives had his measure.

GOOD ADVICE.
in marriage to Jacob Clement Mosier
of the same county, who prect-Jed the
wife just four years. To this union
was born two children, Roy M. Mosier
and Mrs. T. S. Harris both of Okla-
homa City. This dutiful son and de-
voted daughter and loving mother
have always been constant compan-
ions and so lovingly and tenderly
have they cared for and watched over
her who bore the great suffering so
patiently. No sweeter memory can
live in any heart than the memory of
this mother’s beautiful character,
daily enduring suffering without a
murmer, striving that she might be
spared for her children whose un-
tiring devotion will never be forgot-
ten.
With the opening of Oklahoma the
family came to Chandler when it was
only a camping ground, again endur-
j ing hardships and privations of a new
and unsettled country. She constant-
ly devoted her time to her little fam-
| ily and was ever ready to reach out
a helping hand to others. She assist-
I ed in the upbuilding of our present
| little city, having been an active
| worker in the Presbyterian church for
years until in August 1902, when she
unitel with the Christian church.
When all earthly help had failed
and every kind, loving act had been
done, she was gently laid to rest in
Fairlawn cemetery beside her hus-
band, beneath a bower of beautiful
flowers.
“We miss thee from thy place, dear
mother,
We miss thee from thy place.
A shadow o’er our life is cast;
We miss the sunshine of thy face;
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.”

There are about six or eight Iowa editors who
\ should read, consider and consider again says
J the Sac City Bulletin the following paragraph
I from Barney Bruce’s Rolf Arrow, one of the good
republican newspapers of the state:
“We’re for Woodrow Wilson, president of our
j country and commander-in-chief of our army and
j navy. No partisan appeal will turn us from him.
j He’s on the job, and we must win or lose with
him. He’s an American, and that beats being
either a democrat or a republican. If there is
f anything a weak-minded, weak-kneed lover of
the good old U. S. A. can do to help out, we’re at
his command. Up with the Star-Spangled Ban-
ner and to hell with Wilson’s critics, until after
the war, at least.”

Judge Chas. B. Wilson, Jr., who now holds the
bench as judge of the district court of this dis-
trict, is a man well qualified for the place.
Almost every voter in Lincoln and Pottawatomie
county is acquainted with him and knows him
as an experienced jurist. He is a candidate for
re-election and if he is nominated and elected
we believe he will continue to fill that place in
the most satisfactory manner that he has in the
past. We’re for ’im.

DO YOU KNOW HIM?
WHAT PEOPLE ARE
SAYING
“The office to which you
aspire is really the most
important in the gift of the
people of the state, es-
pecially from a standpoint
of economic government—
‘Watch-dog of the Treas-
ury.’ While honesty, which
I am free to concede to you
in the highest degree, is a
fundamental necessity;
there are Other considera-
tions, one of which is thor-
ough competency, not mere-
ly in a clerical capacity,
but as to a knowledge of
state affairs, executive
power, energy, accuracy
and promptness in duty. My
observance of you as a
citizen in an official way—
especially as secretary of
the state board of affairs, •
with which this department was in almost daily touch—
prompts my full endorsement of every one of these essential
qualities. I do this, however, with no idea of disparage-
ment to any other aspirant.
As this comes voluntarily, without any hint of it from
you or apy other person on earth, I only submit it for any
use it may possibly serve you.”—W. P. Campbell, custodian
in charge, Oklahoma Historical Society.

In addition to the animal given by
Mr. Gault, the state is divided into
seven districts and other breeders

county in each district making the
best showing from the standpoint
of attendance. There are breeding
animals to be given on a similar basis
to the Boys’ and Girls’ clubs of the
counties having the greatest attend-
ance of club members.
Rules for awarding animals to
the counties follow:
1. The number of registered rep-
resentatives from each county will
be multiplied by the number of miles
from the county seat town to Still-
water.
2. All representatives must be
fourteen years of age and over.
3. Representatives must register,
giving their name, postoffice and
county and must attend at least one

lecturers, of the nation will be there.
