our Washington delegation, and, denomination into the mire of

Good reports are still flooding in

the fact that those who know him
best are his strongest supporters.
He is that kind of a man who has
always applied his best efforts to
the upbuilding of his community
and the advancement of the peo-
ple he has represented. His ac-
complishments are due to the use
of good business methods. He
stands right on all moral questions,
but is a man with more than one
idea.
5th. He has qualified himself
for this office; spending a portion
of his early days on the farm in
Texa, later serving the people as
city clerk, clerk of the county
court, and has put in four years
studying parliamentary procedure,
which is the same as is used in
our National Congress He is a
worker, and will give to the peo-
pie of Western Oklahoma service
that will meet their approbation.
He hasn't enough modey to hire
brass bands and carry around with
him a flock of automobiles as the
Hobart candidate has been doing,
using the salary of $11 per day
which the taxpayers are paying
him to hold court, to pay his ex-
penses while running for congress.
On the other hand, Jim McClintic
resigned his position before ask-
ing the people to vote for him for
Congress.
He can be relied upon to oppose
any movement which seeks to
unite Church and State. He full
appreciates the seriousness of sue
a unity, and realizes that such a

McClintic as being nearer my
ideal of what a congressman
should be."
R. M. Caldwell, superintendent
of public schools of Hobart, says,
I am anchoring my hopes in Jim
McClintic in the matter of sever-
questions that appeal to me as
being worth while, among others

office, and the the three gentlemen

form contains “I will support and
vote for any law that will assist
in purifying moral conditions,
J. B. Hines, cashier of the
First National Bank of Hobart,
says that the supporters of Jim
McClintic in Hobart are among
the best people in the town.
Thus, every intelligent voter in
this district can see that the
most prominent men in Hobart
look upon Judge Tolbert as a ma-
chine politician and a policy man
—a man who will cater to any
bunch to get votes, and one who
advocates prohibition only for
the purpose of deceiving the
municipal.*'
Mr. McClintic was introduced
by D. W. Study, of this place,
who in a few words spoke of his
qualifications for the place, his
splendid public record and his w
clean private life, and when ‘Jim’ his name and is still making

not run against me if I were eligi-
ble, as he said 1 had made good
and desered a second term. 1 find
however that he did not withdraw
his name and is still making a cam-

Central Investment Company of
Hobart, states that he (Mr. Bab-

for Tolbert for district judge be-
cause he thought he was a prohi-
bitionist, but since that time has
found out that he is a policy man
and caters to any bunch, and is
not a fit man to represent this
district in Congress.
R. E. Nye of Hobart, makes
the statement that he supported
Judge Tolbert in the past, but
has found out that he is a ma-
chine politician, and that he can
no longer support him.
Jene L. Burt, of Hobart, says
that Tolbert is for anything that
is popular and that he made a
speech in Hobart advocating local
BIG OVATION FOB M’CLINTIC
Biggest Demonstration Accorded

Hon. J. V. McClintic of Snyder,
candidate for congress from the
seventh district, made an address
at the Washita County Democrat
Rally at Posey’s Grove northeast
of a town last Saturday afternoon

audience, estimated at more than
1000 people He received one of
the largest ovations ever given a
candidate for congress this year.
His address was interrupted
throughout with applause and
that his speech was well received
was evidenced by the large nura
ber that came forward after he
had finished his speech and pled-
ged their support for the first
time to the Snyder statesman.

istic speeches, full of logic and
sound sense, and free from any
attempt to dwell in flights of ora-
tory, theoretical thinness and
vague, meaningless figures of
speech. In other words, he talk-

TO THE VOTERS
OF JACKSON COUNTY
I am a candidate for re election
to the office of Clerk of Courts of
Jackson County, and am running
strictly on my record made during
my teim of office. I have not been
able to make a thorough campaign
of the county because of the fact
that, as most of you know, my
right, as a woman, to hold office
las been contested in the courts
since early in the campaign, and
only a week ago the Supreme Court
of Oklahoma held for the second
time that a woman was eligible to
hold office in Oklahoma. Prior to
that time it was a mooted question
and in view of that fact four gent-
lemen, namely; Mr. FredZimmer-
month for deputy hire. If the Rec
ords of the county do not bear this
out, I agree to resign in favor of
my opponent. I do not believe that
one not accustomed to the const-
ant use of the typewriter conld
have made this saving, and in this
I am borne out by the other coun-
ties where men have had to have
a deputy at all times.
I have felt that according to the
time honored democratic custom,
one good term deserves another,
and that I was entitled to a second
term without opposition, but in
this instance, I am willing, as a
good democrat, to waive that right
of the second term and leave it to
you voters to say whether or not
he is better qualified, better entitled
and more deserving than I, and if
you think he is then you should
vote for him, and your ballot shall
be mine. 1 have every assurance
from the friends I have been able
