Guthrie. o. T. June Sc. E. Brown.
editor OF the Observer. the Democrats
newspaper which has been supporting
''Bur' Cross for Congress. changes its
course this week. and states from this
time on il viii be found supporting r. 5.
MCGUIRE, the nominee OF the Republican
party. Since establishing his paper in
this city Democrats over the territory
have made a fight on Brown. After the
nomination of -Biln Cross Brown has
been turned down. and especially Is this
so in the case OF Nose Anderson. the
chairman OF the Democratic campaign
committee.
Under the caption Of TOO Much An
derson.' Brown explains his position in
the following editorial:
The Observer is a Democratic newa-
paper. II believes IN the undyiag prinei-
pies Of Democracy. and when Il comes
70 the welfare OF this territory the OBJ
server IS for home first. party second
The Democracy Of Oklahoma h NOM
mated a man for delegate 20 Congress
who has nothing IN common with the
people who reside In Oklahoma. His only
possession. 80 far as we have been able
To learn. is a trunk and grip at hotel.
He he's selected chairman for his cam
paign committee who Is nauseating TO
every leading Democrat In Oklahoma.
Anderson stands for nothing in his home
town. Enid. and was unable even to act
as delegate on account OF his reputation
a delegate TO Congress from a terri
tory has no voice In national affairs;
therefore, his only mission IS 20 represent
the interests of the people whom he rep
resents. For this we feel that the inter
ests Of this territory will be better served
by the Hon. 3. S. Mcclure, the Repub-
ucan nominee. than they win be by Mr..
Cross, who has no personal interests Ia
common with our people
1t has been our pleasure to know Mr.
Mcguire FOR long time. We know him
TO be a man with spotless reputation.
a man with ability 10 90 20 Washington

homa. and lawyer second 20 none IN the
southwest All his interests are in Okla
hom8. Therefore. without apologies TO
any one. the Observer viii champion the
candidacy Of the Hon. =. E. Mcclure a.
a candidate for delegate 20 Congress ia
