PARTY HEADQUARTERS.

1t seems extremely probable that the
Democratic National Committee would
he able 10 do much more effective work
with its headquarters established in
Washington during the Congressional
session. as is now reported to be under
contemplation.
The Congressional campaign of 1902
will result in elections of exceptional inn
portance 1t will have much to do with
defining the issues for the Presidential
campaign of 1904 and in marking out
the alignment of the two great parties
for the national contest. The Demo-
cratic party's management Of the Con-
gressional campaign must OF necessity
have vital bearing on the party's
strength with the people two years later.
II may easily he seen that the fight
can be conducted from Washington more
effectively than. from any other city.
The Democratic councils will there in
clude many of the party leaders who
would otherwise be absent ut the most
critical moments. Senator Jones. chair

There is no good reason why these

PERFECT ORGANIZATIONS

Director General Buchanan OF the
Pan-American Exposition now under

highly the perfect organization" Of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com

organization. he believes. it will go down
to history without peer.

ton that success must come Without it

The admirable organization of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com
pany is already bringing its logical re-
suits. Worlds Fair work in the pre-
hmlnary stages is progressing with a
certainty and swiftness never before
equaled. The problems inevitable to
such undertakings are being confronted
and disposed OF with high ability and
with that unhesitating confidence which
accompanies such ability. The machinery
OF the Worlds Fair organization Is
working absolutely without friction.
Straight down the line each mans task
is being performed with businesslfke ac-
curacy and in n spirit Of masterful de-
termination for success.
S'he completed record made by the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company
may be hopefully counted upon to main
tain the pace set at the beginning.
There win be no failure anywhere in
the progress of the enterprise The

Judge Givan has been we'll known in Mis-

Congressional District to the National Dem

and which nominated Seymour and Blair.
de was an advocate Of General f. T.
Blair's nomination to the presidency, and

Missouri delegation met with General Blair
in New York. it was thought best for the

presidency. Judge Givan and Honorable

VOLUNTARY ENTERPRISE

One OF the most interesting features Of
the coming Worlds Fair will be the ex-
hilits from the States and Territories
west Of the Mississippi. Most of the
States have made liberal provision for
exhibits. while there is evidence that no
community will be uLrepresented.
A movement recently inaugurated by
the Okmulgee Commercial Club looking
toward the preparation of an exhibit of
the products of the Indian Territory de-
serves the widest advertisement and in
dorsement in the Territory. Okmulgee.
as the capital Of the Greek Nation, is in
a natural position to carry forward such
movement.
Az there is no organized territorial
government through which the Indian
Territory can secure representation at
the Purchase Exposition, the Okmulgee
Commercial Club has invited the cities,
towns, organized boards of trade and
commercial clubs to send two delegates
each to a convention to be held in the
city Of Okmulgee Mt 4 p. M. August 81.
At this convention concerted action will
be taken for securing an ample terrific
rial exhibit. Reduced rates will be Sc
cured on the railroads.
President d. r. Francis has cordially
Endorsed this action of the Okmulgee
Commercial Club. The Indian Territory
is friendly to st. Louis, and, even if it
expected to receive no returns from an
exhibit. the same spirit would be shown.
Aside from this purely friendly interest,
the resources Of the Territory, just be-
ginning to be understood and appreci-
ated, are Of sort to draw thousands of
settlers II once the world is made thor
oughly acquainted with them.
The convention Of August ~ should be
representative OF every section of the
Territory. The interest displayed by
the business men Of Okmulgee is char
acteristic Of the whole people in that re-
gion. The Territory and st. Louis may
well regard the convention an important
one.
