during the first month Of the contest.
Nominations are being received, but
up to the present time no candidates
have been nominated from this county.
There 10 no reason why Chickasaw

one or more of our popular young Ia
dies and rally to the support Of these
young ladies as they should, the vic
tory will be easy. The plan Of voting
is unique and lie one that is fair to all

A Memorial from the national Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
was presented 10 the Senate by Sena-
tor Platt, March the 9th. This Mem
orial was against the passage Of bills
to unite Indian Territory and Oklaho-
ma as a state. The Memorial quotes
the many promises and covenants OF
the United States government with
the FIVE civilized tribes concerning
lands and the introduction Of intoxi-
citing liquors into the territory. In
dian Territory begs for separate state
hood. The government gave the In
dams a pledge when they moved west
Of the Mississippi river that they
should never 10 future have the laws
Of any state or territory over them,
without their consent, and a series Of
pledges have been given concerning
the introduction Of Intoxicating liq.
uors into Indian Territory.
The Womans Christian Temperance
Union is today, the largest best organ
ixed and most Influential in it's lines
of work, than any other society in this
country. The position the w. o. T. U.
holds lie due to the "wisdOm, prudence
singular d~evotedness and persistent
work of the women who lead In lie
great endeavor to protect wives,
mothers, children and home, from the
brutal murdesous warfare upon th EN-
by the liquor traffic"
