W. R. Brown of Sasakwa was
in town Monday attending

office a call, and among other
things stated that he was a can-

only candidates we know of
for that office from down there

here Saturday advocating the
erection of a small flour mill
for Wewoka. The proposition
appealed to a number of busi-
ness men and It is not unlikely
that the matter will be taken up
by the Council of Defense at an
early date with the view of en-
couraging every farmer to plant
a small tract of wheat this fall
—a sufficient amount to meet
home requirements. The C-D

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 a 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 1 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 the following ad-
ditional counties, viz.: Blaine, Cleveland, Cotton, Creek, Cub-
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 iff
the 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 rears. Took business college course in Dav-
enport, Iowa, and, upon graduation, was 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 1 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 which my
son and I raise shorthorn cattle, and Duroc Jeisey hogs.

While doing everything possible to win tbe war—we must not sacrifice all the grrand nlned during
thirty years of effort in securing regulative legislation only to find ourselves, at Its close, la commercial

We must not be unfair to these necessary public instrumentalities and, when thev are rieht. w*
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 mast lack neither the ability, determination
nor force to press the Issues with telling effeet, and for this reason I believe that my nut traininir&nd
experience peculiarly fit me for this important work. , w
