Headline in an evening paper,
What aren’t they doing?
The Political Bees have begun
to buzz around the heads of
some of our prominent citizens.
“If you nominate and elect
the right kind of a man to office
it will not be necessary to pledge
him before hand and put a
guard over him afterward to
have him do right. The pledge
and promiser is ‘anything to get
in, and has a poor memory after
he gets in.’ Don’t take a man’s
pre-election promises too seri-
ous. — Waukomis Hornet.
Out of a great many local dem-
ocrats interviewed, the Democrat
man has not yet found one that
expressed himself against Sena-
tor Gore for re-election—but all
express themselves as for the
champion of the common people.
Gore has taken the stand for the
people as against the tricksters,
and the people are going to
stand by Gore. Gore has ac-
quired a nation-wide reputation
as a legislator of much abilicy
and in high standing with Pres-
ident Wilson and his fellow
congressmen. The Bond suit
that is now being prosecuted in
Oklahoma against the Senator is
not losing him any friends. The

Muskogee.—The meeting ot the
Eastern Oklahoma Agricultural Asso-
ciation here last week was a success
beyond the dreams of its officers.
About five thousand farmers were
present at the meetings and the speak-
ers were all men of authority in their
lines. The government was represent-
ed by Senator Gore, chairman of the
senate committee on agriculture. The
senator was invited by the association
to discuss “The Nation and the Farm-
er”. Among other things he said:

WHERE QUALITY IS PARAMOUNT!
Gov. Cruce is advocating a
s nailer legislature, not to exceed
25 members who shall be paid a
fixed salary and devote all their
time to legislative business
Wonder what would happen to
us if we had legislators always
on the job, especially a bunch
like the last legislature? My
opinion is that they stay too long
on the job as it is now. Sixty
days are none too short a term
and the present salary is about
on a par with the ability of the
average legislator Perhaps the
