Geo. E. McKinnis, the only Taft
delegate from Pottawatomie county
who attended the G. O. P. conven-
tion at Guthrie, which in many re-
spects was the most Interesting and
spectacular meetings of its kind ever
pulled off in Oklahoma. On being
interviewed Mr. McKinnis talked
freely about the convention and Us
proceedings.
Mr. McKinnis said: "While I have
attended many conventions, all the

SHERIFF "DINK" PIERCE MIKES
RIG HAIL AT EARLBOItO,
OKL.t.
Mrs. Carl Metcalf has returned
from a visit in Oklahoma City.
Sheriff "Dink" Pierce made the
greatest haul In the seizure of in
toxicating liquors when he raided at
F/arlboro seizing 600 pints or fiv
barrels of whiskey. The contraband
was brought to the county jail at
Tecumseh, where it Is under a heavy
lock and key.
Excilemeut Follows Raid.
The excitement In that usually
quiet town following the raid has
not been equaled before in many a
day, and was a matter of much dis-
cussion all day.
Was Given "Tip."
Sheriff Pierce is ever on the alert
for shipments of intoxicating liquors
and especially so since the federal
ruling makes it unlawful for ship-
ments of this nature to be made into
that section known as the old In-
dian Territory. It is said shipments
have been made through here being
consigned to points near the divid-
ing line between the original terri-
tories. Sheriff Pierce was "tipped"
yesterday that a shipment was in
transit.
He went to Earlboro and seized
the contraband before it was hauled
away across the line into Seminole
county.

enthusiasm, but in the main the peo-
ple are waking up to their individual
privileges, and are ready as never
before to assume and discharge fo.
themselves Che responsibilities that
come to every American citizen. The
folks are now as never before, will-
ing to carry the weight of self-gov-
ernment. In the Guthrie convention,
the one thing most prominent was
individual certitude in matters polit-
ical; not that it loved Taft less but
it loved Roosevelt more. If the en-
thusiasm of the delegates was at all
representative of the people, In Okla-
homa the republican party must he
reckoned with this fall.
Local Delegates lo Front.
You asked me how our delegation
got along. I answer your question
by saying that the Pottawatomie
county delegation occupied the front
seats on the platform. Personally, i

we considered quite a compliment to
Pottawatomie county.
"When the question of party reor-
ganization came before the conven-
tion our delegates stood united
against this proposition, and in this
the Pottawatomie county delegates are
happy to be numbered among the
most prominent who set out to ac-
complish the defeat of this unwise uii
dertaking.
Party Unity Plan.
Mr. Priestly of Bartlesville was the
choice of the convention for national
committeeman, Ed Perry, the fearless
Rooseveltan, was selected as chairman
of the delegation to the national con-
vention, and the old "standard bear-
er," Jim Harris, was also the choice
of the convention for chairman of the
state committee. Hence Priestly, the
princely In looks and in temper, with
Perry, who bought peace with dyna-
mite, and big Jim Harris, whose win-
ning smile will Increase as the days
go by, are all for a united party.
Throw Hats In Ring.
It is my opinion that the party
inity in the rankB of the G. O. P. of
Oklahoma is assured, and that we will
go to the polls this year united from
precinct up. All the Taft and Roose-
velt republicans have thrown their
hats Into the same ring for a clear-
ing of Shawnee, Pottawatomie coun-
ty, and the whole works.'
The hanks are bound to reflect
the financial condition of a commu
nity more than any other of its in-
stitutions. The News-Herald felt
that a word at this time from the
heads of the different banks of
Shawnee would not only make good
reading matter, but be intensely in
teresting to all our readers from tliu
standpoint of the imimrtance of the
facts these gentlemen are In a po-
sition to advance. The loyalty cf
our bankers to Shawnee and to this
section is a matter or common
knowledge and local pride and their
encouraging words will have great
weight wherever the News-Herald is
road.
The Shawnee National Bank.
The condition of business In Shaw-
nee, and of the farmers of this vi-
cinity, as compared with other sec-
tions of the southwest, reflect much
In our favor. The demand for money
for feed supplies has not been the
heavy drain upon the credit houses
that was ex pec ted ninety days ago;
and while the merchant's trade may
be a little lighter than usual, upon
comparison no doubt, one would bo
surprised to know what lutie dif-
ference actually exists, as between
this and other years, which were
counted prosperous.
The average rarmer at this time
has his feed supply provided for.
Weather conditions have been favor-
able, and the beginning of the plant-
ing Beasou, promises much more than
ordinary results.
A source of much gratification
should be found In the Tact, that not
a single failure of any consequence
has been chronicled In Shawnee dur-
ing the past year, as a resutl of de-
creased value of crops harvested.
The results of the cotton crop of
1911 showed a decrease largely to-
lack of quality of cotton raised than
the quantity, the real difference In
the number of bales produced y
Pottawatomie county, as between
1910 and 1911, would not exceed ap-
proximately iiOOO balea, but the dif-
ference in the value of the crop, on
account of Inferior quality of the
cotton, was a large Item.

JUDGE ABERNATHY GRANTS WRIT OF
MANDAMUS AGAINST ELECTION BOARD
County Election Board Will Conduct Primary Elec-
tion—Candidates Whu Failed to File With Com-
mittee Not to Be Eliminated
The local political situation some-
what clouded for some time, was
cleared yesterday when Judge Aber-
nathy of the superior court, granted
the writ of mandamus requiring tin
county election board to conduct the
city primaries. The primaries wil'
be held next Tuesday.
The decision followed the madmaus
suit filed by certain' candidates who
had failed to file with the city com-
mittees or their respective parties
and was brought to prevent the pos-
sibility or these candidates being
eliminated from the race.
City Not to Hold Primary.
The suit mandamused the board
praying that the court require them
to hold the primaries, but not the
election. The election will he in
charge or the city. There was a sen-
timent expressed In* some quarters
following the court ruling that an
independent primary would be held,
but the movement has taken no det-
inite rorm and it is generally be-
lieved nothing will come or it. This
latest action prevents the possibility
or any candidate being left ofr rrom
the ticket In the primary. The list
or candidates whose names will ap-
pear on the ballots or their I'espe -
t've parties will be the same as the
list on record in the office of E. J.

election board.
