FOR THE REAL IR|NG
Straightout Democracy in
Oklahoma County
is MOVING EFFECTIVELY
Simon Pure County Ticket
Seems to be Coming.

Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 13.-The movement
of straightout Democrats in Oklahoma
county looking to separate county tick
ct seems to be making head. The Times
Journal says of it:
THE men that are representing the de-
tails Of the Democratic convention to be
held in this city at the opera house Sep
TENDER % have received much encourage
ment in their plans and they are receiv-
ing reports from the out-of-town dis
tricts that are even more encouraging
that the situation here in the city where
the majority Of the candidates OF the fu-
sion convention live. The petitions IN
favor of the independent action of the
Democratic party in refusing to accept
the fusion program Of the gathering :hat
was held at the district court rooms are
being signed by Democrats who are now
and always have BEEN in the councils OF
the party. The following are a few OF
the men that are interested and active
in the call for the convention who are
seeing to it that the convention will be
so large as TO practically represent ma
iority of the Democrats in the county:
Frank Gault, Frank McMaster, Sam Bar
tell, Douglas Cleveland, ]. S. Lindsay, j.
o. easier, Tom Newell, Orla Lindsay, c.
A. Compton, Jack Moore, John Bennett,
Homer Boyd, F. Mention, H. F. Dixon,
Fred Fuller E w Mccormick, N. S.
Sampey Dan Phillips, John zimmerman,
Phillip Classen, Chas. Lee, Doc Beatty,
Charles Kennedy, and the list from
which these names were taken has nearly
100 names The agreement to enter the
convention is being circulated in a num-
Der of townships today and the promise
was made yesterday that there would be
at least 100 signers from Edmond City
sent here in two days. From Greedy
township word was received last night
that every Democrat in the township
would be for the straight ticket In Hart
sell and Crutcho the independent move
ment is fast gaining ground and at other
places men will be put to work at once
giving information in regard to the
movement and seeing that the townships
will be we'll represented. he candidates
for the nominations will be selected with
exceeding care and there will not be nine
CT them from the Second ward of this
city, as IS the raCC WITH the GOpdHSt-
Democratic ticket that was nominated a
few days ago. he Democrats claim ttat
the last convention in no way represents
the party in any particular and that the
candidates will have a legal fight 20 get
their names on the ticket as representa-
tives of anything but the Populist party,
as the convention was not proceeding as
a Democratic convention when the final
Endorsement Of the ticket was made at
midnight. The claim is made that the
convention has no authority to decide the
question of fusion for the party and that
after they did so decide that the conven-
ton and that its candidates have no
right to place under the party caption.
The report was made this morning that
the supporters Of the ticket that was
nominated here a few days ago had ar
ranged their plans to descend on the con-
vendon of the straight Democrats and
that after the proceedings had reached a
certain stage they would start something
and try to break It up in a fight. The
convention has selected six sergeants-at-
arms for the meeting and the result Of
any attempt to thwart the will of the
convention by force will result in one of
the largest free fights that has ever oc-
Cured in Oklahoma"
