Mr.. E. L. BLISCoE in
today's LEADER his candidacy for
commissioner of the first district. This
Office has been held by o. p. Cooper
several years, and his administration
has caused much complaint. Mr.
Blincoe is one of the prominent busi>
ness men Of Guthrie. He is business
from the ground up, is deeply inter>
ested in the county's welfare and
would prove a model county commits,
sioner. Blincoe is one of the solid
men OF the community; he is as honest
as the day is long, is genial and com,
panionable and has legions of
friends. He is the sort of man
to be at the helm in county affairs.
He is acquainted with assessment and
taxation, economy and judgment in
public utilities. There would be no
bowls from taxpayers with Blincoe as
commissioners. He is in every respect
qualified, and il nominated will put
up the hottest fgbt on record.

Our national tendency from the be-
ginning Of its history until recently
has been in the direction of the reali-
cation of the brotherhood of man.
While it has been detected from this
course, by greed and unholy love of
conquest it must and will be, through
the interposition of providence in
awakening the people, restored to
original policies.
