Tom johnson Says Keep Your
Eyes on Missouri Prosecutor.

Cleveland, Ohio. May 2r.-The
twenty first district Democratic
convention today nominated Ed
mund {. Vail for Congress. a
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson and John
II, Clarke were selected as dele
gates to the National convention.
They were not instructed.
Recently the anti johnson Demo
Gratis held an independent conven-
ton and nominated August Zeh
ring for Congress and elected dele
gates to St. Louis.
Mayor johnson in the course Of
a speech at a convention said.
"A few years ago an unknown.
young man, way out in Missouri,
commenced to talk about honestly
in public life. He was elected
Circuit Attorney. From that
mult;milIionaires, aswell the chea-
pest political CRATER learned that
Joseph w. Folk believed what he
said. Mr.. Folk pursued the crook
cd millionaires as we'll as the cheap
grafters and landed them in the
peniteniiary. The end is not yet
in the chase for criminal in Mis-
souri,, and today this fearless
young Democrat is as good as
nominated as candidate for Cover
nor.
There are political grafters in
Washington. We know that TO
our sorrow, Perhaps Mr.. Folk
could find labor for his talents as
the President Of the United States,
aiming giant blows at official rot
lenness ia Washington. ! am not
attempting to forecast the action
Of the coming National convention,
but fearless men like Folk should
be kept in mind.

Big Game Planngd

The excitement Of the World 5
Fair, stockmeu's convention, city
election, and all lesser attractions
will be completely eclipsed By a
baseball game which will probably
be pulled off in Chickasha soon.
The irrepressible Fats having
devouied numerous victims, are
thirsting for fresh gore. This
time they want to play the Elks
and game will probably be ar
ranged. The Elks have never
put team into the field, but there
are players among them thai would
put Casey, Comiskey ard the other
old-tim favorites to shame. The
Elks can be depended upon to be
"there with the goods if they
enter the baseball lists.

Presidential Race
Growing List Of Uninstructed Dele
gates Standing Of the
Candidates.

Chicago, May 2I-The demo
cratic fight for delegates to the ma
tional convention is increasing in
interest as the time for the nomi-
nation Of an opponent for President
Roosevelt approaches. T.. c. Wall
defeated the Hearst plans this
week when he captured an in
structed delegation in Wisconsin.
In Indiana Tom Taggart added
what he declared a finishing touch
to he Hearst boom, but while
Taggart was doing his bestto put
the New York congressman out Of
the race, Mr.. Hearst was gathering
in the Iowa and California dele
cations, which more than balanced
the loss IN Indiana.
However, the number Of unin-
structed delegates TO the national
convention gradually is increasing
and there are political prophets
here who say tina; in the event Of
Parker failing to secure enough
votes TO nominate Olney Wall and
the uninstrucied delegates will
turn TO President Grover Cleve-
land and make him the nominee.
Favorite sons arc being used
against Mr. Hearst in states where
he has made the fight and this has
told against him.
Delegates have been elected in
twenty-four states, although all
are not yet complete
The delegates elected thus far

To the Iowa Gideons in Fourth An

loved Brethren: For the fourth time
in the history of our organization we
are met here today as an organization
of Christian travelling men. There has
never has been a time in our history
where a city has extended a more
hearty invitation than we received, to
bring this convention to Oskaloosa.
This being true, let us endeavor to do
everything as unto the Lord, that
when we are gone the business men
and citizens can say of us as Paul
said of himself to his Christian breth.

not with excellency of speech or of
wisdom, declaring unto you the testi-
mony of God, for l determined not to
know anything among you save Jesus
Christ and Him crucified.""
We are not preachers, only laymen
in the church, and are here for no
other purpose than to do the Lords
will and have our spiritual strength
renewed, and encourage each other in
the Masters work
My mind goes back to three years

and review the work done since, only
shall call your attention GA few of
the good things, and where mistakes
have been made or anything done

So many questions were asked them
about the button by men who were
not eligible, for membership, and
many time man with the button
on was called down for claiming to be

things he was doing. The first result
Of this was it caused hundreds of mer
to live better and purer Christian
lives than they had ever liveu before
and they continued to wear the but

large number preferred to continue IL
their habits which the world looked
upon as not ebocming Christian
man, and removed their buttons
Very few of these men have ever pait
