All of the candidates for Gov.
ernor, Messrs. Noel, Critz and
Vardaman, have served in the
Legislature two or three sessions
since the adoption of our new
Constitution, and each has had
full and fair opportunities of at
tempting to correct anything he
thought evil in the Constitution
or Code and of putting in what
he knew or believed was for
its betterment. fittings are good
now they were good then and if
evil now, they were evil then.
Each member of the Legislature
is responsible for the use or
abuse of the opportunities given
him, and the state provided clerks
to take down what each did and
had it printed and sent TO every
court house in every county as
public property, tor a public use.
While one legislator may not be
able to control the Legislature, one
man may make a start for any re
form, and make his record clear.
Unless somebody starts, there
will be nothing done. This is
the position taken by Senator
Noel in this campaign.
1t is true that with most people
1T is a question of measures and
not of men, still men are the IN
struments by which measures are
to be made operative. Candidates
are associated with measures in
two ways, one by speeches and
promises made during the cam
paign, and the other by official
action, published and proclaimed
through journals, while they ex-
ercised official functions, and
we're under sworn duty to use
their time and talents for the
states betterment. When you
vote for a legislator to become
Governor, as you are called upon
to do this year, you vote to sus-
tain his public action, in the way
of an Endorsement, and your vote
means tina: his past record emit
ties him to popular Endorsement.
In this way it becomes important
to know what the public journals
show as to each candidates action
on the most prominent issues be
fore the people.
On the question of uniform text
books, the records show that Mr..
Noel voted for the passage OF the
law to make text books uniform
throughout the state, as a means
of getting cheaper and better
books. Judge Ortiz tavors the
proposition, bnt when the ques-
ton was up for action, he voted
for other things that Legislative
sitting, but failed to vote at all

Shakespeare tells US that acom
PARSONS are odious,n and most
certainly they are, as well as
fruitful sources OF unhappiness
and discomfort, when we begin
contrasting ourselves with those
more favored in financial posses
sious ana luxurious environments.
TO see others prosper, and to
barely exc out an existence our
selves; to see our neighbors roll
ing in wealth, and to be forced to
practice the strictest economy in
order to hang On to the tag ends
of responsibility, calls for unu.
sual strength of character to keep
down envy, and accord justice to
the favored ones.
Not only in financial prospect
ty do others eclipse US, but many
climb to the topmost round of the
ladder of Fame, seemingly with
out a hindrance; while we foun
der in a rut at the bottom, or pull
up at a snail's pace, dragging mill
stones of difficulties with US. There
is no use denying the fact that
thorns strew the paths of some,
and the flowers fall to the lot of
others, Notwithstanding both may
put forth their best efforts. Those
who get the thorns are the ones
prone to draw comparisons, but
dwelling upon them can do no
good, and will eventually embit
ter life and rob moderate success
of its sweetest joys.
In fact. it would be we'll to re-
frain from comparisons with those
above US, altogether, and if com
pare we must, let it be with those
less favored than we. There are
more people in the world who are
poor, or suffering or miserable,
than rich and happy, and why not
be thankful if we occupy medium
ground After all, the most
helpful comparison we can make,
is with those whose main ambi.
ton is TO become a real benefit
to mankind, and seek to emulate.
instead of envying them, and
should we ~outstrip them in this
respect, we may rest assured that
no one will suffer from Our excel
lence.

HON. EDWARD F. NOEL.

on this question, and thereby con.
tributed to its defeat. We think
Maj. Vardaman took no part one
way or the other on this question.
The Constitution of 1890, re.
quired the Legislature to enact a
fair law for making nomination by
primary elections or otherwise.
Mr.. Vardaman was in the Legis
lature of 1892, that met this obi
cation by ~enacting a law that gave
to Executive Committees the
whole power of controlling nomi-
nations iii such ways as they
might see fit, and they always saw
fit to have convention nomina
tions for state offices, and he vot
ed for the Code with that provi.
sion in it, without proposing any
amendment. Mr.. Noel, at the
second effort, got a primary elec
ton law through the House and
Senate and argued it before the
Supreme Court, where it was sus-
tanned. While the law is not per-
feet, yet he had to allow some
things to 60 in, which he did not
wish for, to prevent it's defeat.
All now favor the law but he
alone did something for that end,
while in the Legislature.
While a Governor has nothing
to do with amending the Oonsti-
tuition, in any respect, such aues-
tons being left entirei y to the
Legislature, subject to ratifca-
ton by the people, yet all the
candidates for Governor say they
believe that the people and not
the Governor ought to have the
power of naming the judges, just
as they are doing in three -fourths
of the States, and as they did in
this State from 1882 to 1869.
When the matter came up in the
Legislature Mr.. Vardaman voted
five times against trusting the
people with the power Of saying
whether or not they wanted to
elect judges. Judge Critz did
nothing at all until an amendment
introduced by Mr.. Noel passed
the Senate and came up in the
House, and then voted for the
amendment, just as did three
fourths of the people of our State
who spoke on that question in the
subsequent election. All came to
Mr. Noei's proposition, ultimately
as on the other questions men,
toned.
We would take other subjects
now at issue and show that in
nearly every instance the other
candidates have merely come to
favor things which Mr.. Noel stood
for from the start. HIS record is
one of action and theirs of unac-
ton or nisdirected action when
exercising public functions.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.


In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers af-
ter fortune who made the big grace one
fine day in April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the IA became SO bad he expected
to die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him mi small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground ia great agony,
and in a few minutes the dose was re-
peated. The good effect of the medi-
cine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his fret
sound sleep for a fortnight. The one
little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
