JOHN T.BALDWIN I OR RIHilS I l:k
A communication to tho IviiiK
fisher Times last week, signed
*■ M11.1 v Friends, is as follows:
'•The many friends ot .lohn I
Baldwin, who is an old resident
of Ilennessev. desire to elect him
Keller of' DemU. While Mr
Baldwin is a very modest man
and not an officeseeker, we hope
he may consent to run in tlioCiti
zens primary for the nomination
No man is better qualified and
more worthy. If he will consent he
will receive tlie cordial support of
his numerous friends.
Why "Many Friends' did not
send this communication to the
only democratic paper in Mr.
Baldwin's home town, or why the
writerdid not say that Mr. lhdd
win was a thoroughbred democrat,
wo are unable to say, but notwith-
standing this, Mr Baldwin as a
candidate for the office of Register
of deeds, is more than satisfactory
to this paper. As "Many 1" riends
says. Mr. Baldwin is not an office-
seeker, but we believe with his
record and reputation ho can be
elected without any trouble. Mr
Baldwin lias been identified with
democratic | ditics for years, ami
has always used his best efforts
for the good of the party, lie
was postmaster under Cleveland
in this city, and always showed
himself' the courteous and pains-
taking gentleman that lie is. If
Mr. Baldwin will allow his name
to be used as a candidate before
the primaries,, he will undoubted
Iv received the nomination, and
later bo eleeto by a good ma jority.
Mr Baldwin has hundreds ol
friends all over the county who
know that his qualifications are all
that c ail I bo desired, and lis
ehvti'«;i w• ail 1 be assure 1.
The statement has been made
that the ( ,0(H1 colored voters in
Oklahoma would demand one of
the six delegates to (lie republi-
can national convention at ('liicago.
There are thren colored men who
want the honor Barber, of ('ana
ilian county, Tyler of Kingfisher
county, and Darrow, of Linco In!
count\.
The Watonga Republican says
that all the Democratic candidates
for office in Oklahoma want from
the people, is their votes in order
to get them in oflico. Wonder
what the Republican candidates
in Oklahoma want with the votes
from the people.
A prohibition convention is to
beheld in (iuthrie, Wednesday,
March ISO. The orator of the oc-
casion will be Hon. Oliver W
Stewart, of Chicago, national
chairman of that party.
