All this shows that things are coming
McGuire's way and that he will have d
good deal easier fight this time than he
did against Bill Cross, whom the Demo-
cratic leaders concede will not be renom-
mated. and VIM. Bowles of Perry. Edgar

Shawnee. Otto A. Shuttee of FL Reno,
Robert Nen of Blackwell and a large
number of receptive candidates are now
rubbing their hands over their foreheads
and wondering what is going TO turn up.
The Democratic politicians are worried
over the actions of Editor Niblack of this
city. Edgar Jones is actively in the fight
and the men who set up the pins for the
Democratic conventions are unable to tell
whether Niblack Is going to enter the
fight or support Jones or some other dark
horse. 1t is claimed by some OF the fell
lows who are given credit of being on
the ground floor that about the time the
harvesters are clicking in the wheat fields
a large sized boom for Judge Bierer OF
this city will be turned loose.
There are active campaign workers in
every party, but the fellows who lay
out the work and plant the torpedoes 70
blow up the enemy's battleships are
never seen in the front of battle. Their
work is done in the inner rooms of the
council chamber and the rank and file
seldom know what they are going to do
until it is done.
1t can be stated with some assurance
that these fellows who do the inside WORK
for the Democratic party are planning to
nominate Roy Hoffman to make the race
against Mcclure The more candidates
can be induced to enter the better will b.
The chance of these inside planners to
carry their point. There iA some evidence
accommodating which shows that some
strong Democrats in this city and at Ok
lahoma City are in this combination 10
bring Hoffman in the race at the proper
time
1t is also claimed that some of the
smart fellows already in the race for the
Democratic nomination will try to beat
this Hoffman movement by getting up a
fight on him in his own county. Roy
Hoffman is said to have a good sized bar
rel and his father some of the Demo
cratic leaders claim, is easily the richest
man in Oklahoma. Money is mighty
convenient thing to have in a campaign
but the opposition to Hoffman claim they
can beat him in spite of his money back |
ing.
The Union National Bank of Chandler
Is one of the strongest banks in south |
eastern Oklahoma and the Hoffmans rae |
tically own IL. The Chandled National IS
also strong institution and Il is claimed |
that the men behind this bank will op-
pose Hoffman's nomination and make a /
red hot fight for the Lincoln county dele /,
cation to the Democratic congressional /
convention. Some Of the other candi- !
dates claim that the Lincoln county Dem |
ocracy will be split asunder in this fight |
and that will make Hoffman a weak CAL
didate before the nominating convention |
As general rule bankers are not of the |
caliber of men who break their own necks |
fighting each other. II remains TO be |
seen how they will do in Lincoln county. |
