lection to them.
The EXPRESS has made inquiry
and found that no candidate ap-
peared before the executive COM
mittee and asked for primary It
seems therefore that the candidates
themselves were not greatly inter
ested il the matter.
That primary is more demo-
cratic has been conceded, but the
fact that the call issued asked ev-
cry democratic voter to participate
in the ward meetings should re-
move all objection from those who
raise objections OIL this point If
you participated in ward meeting,
you had an opportunity to express
your wishes and if you didn't at
tend such a meeting. you are GER
tainly entitled to hold your peace.
Whatever the merits in the case
Of convention versus primary may
be, there is no good reason for ar
guing the question now. Good
men were nominated by the con-
vention and whether they were
yourchoice or not isnot question for
any good democrat to hesitate
about now. They are the choice
Of the party and there is but one
thing for any loyal democrat to do
put aside personal griev-
ance and stand by the men nomi-
mated.

Contest For Merchants Gift Libra.
ry Calls Out Communication
From High School
Students.

"Who will win the free library"
is daily becoming a more interest
ing question. The EXPRESS is
working for none of the contest
ants, but it cheerfully gives space
to all who wish to speak out on
the question. The following COM
munication was received today:
In last MONDAYS issue Of the
EXPRESS there was comfnunica-
ton, from the "Woman's Confed-
Grafton of Clubs" concerning the
merchants gift library, in which
the impression was made that the
high school is not in need Of such
an article; and that it would do
more good in the public Carnegie
library than elsewhere. in re-
gard to the Carnegie Library, it
has been coming for more than a
year, and the first stone has not
yet made its appearance; 50 if it
should happen that the Carnegie
Library is successful in winning
the gift library, the latter wouli,
in all probability, rot in the store
room, before the building is ready
TO receive it. We, who have been
attending the high school, realize
more than anyone else the need of
such library. The high school
now has a library consisting of
four volume set of encyclopedias.

asha to come to the aid of their
sons and daughters

THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.
One week from tomorrow the
voters Of Chickasha will be called
upon to decide whether four demo
cratic aldermen, an assessor and a
a collector, shall be elected or
whether those positions shall be
filed with republicans. The Ex-
PRESS is IN no doubt as to the re-
suit Of tte election. AT the same
time, in order that the majorities
of the democratic candidates may
be increased and the party
strengthened, it is in order to
remind any democrats, who may
be lacking in zeal, Of their duty on
this occasion.
1t is hardly to be conceived that
there are any voters who still en-
tertain the opinion that politics do
not enter into our municipal cleo
tions, since both parties have
straight tickets in the field. The
fact is that in our municipal cleo
tions at the present time are ger
minating the conditions that will
largely determine the future status
of the two parties in the territory
when statehood becomes a fact.
The cry of no politics in city cleo
tions emanates but from but one
source. 1t comes from the enemy,
who, realizing that they are in the
minority in this party of the terri
tory, are industriously putting forth
this plea in order to lull the demo
Gratis into inaction while they
quietly and stealthily lay their
schemes to gain supremacy. Here
in, from political point Of view,
lies the duty of every democrat to
vote the ticket straight on April S.
But there are other reasons.
from the point Of view of the citi-
zen, for electing the democratic
ticket. The fact that the demo
Gratis in Chickasha are capable of
conducting the affairs Of the city
to the greatest advantage Of the
people has been amply demonstrat-
ed in the past ,saF- There is alb
solutely no reason why an admins
tration that has shown conspicuous
ability to manage the city's affairs
'n a safe, business basis, should |
not receive the Endorsement Of the !
people carping CRITICS there may
be, always ready to ind fault. who !
nay 6nd fault with the present
administration. TO say that it is
'erfect would be to say more than
:ould ever be true Of any admins
ration. The fact remains, how

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
DOWN WITH DIsGRUNTLED

DOWN WITH DISGRUNTLED
II has been borne 10 the Ex-
PRESS by little bird that there
are few democrats in Chickasha
who are disgruntled over the fact
that a convection was held to nom
mate candidates instead Of pri-
mary. 1t occurs to the EXPRESS
that these democrats have very
slim grounds for dissatisfaction.
We confess to a preference for
the primary under normal condi-
tions. 1t is not cnly more demo-
cratic but also, as a rule, more sat
isfactcry to all parties. In the
present instance, however, slight
reflection will convince any reason
able mind that the executive COM
mittee committed no unpardonable
crime against democracy and no
act of injustice TO any candidate in
decreeing for convention, but on
the whole its action, abundantly
sustained by precedents, was wise.
A primary without registration
is always open TO serious objections
1t often perverts instead Of carry
ing out the wishes Of the people.
In this election there was butone
Office, the assessor, over which
there was a serious contest. The
expense of providing for registra-
ton and for a primary election
would have been entirely incom
merislJate with the necessities in
the case. Probably few have
stopped to think what the cost of
such an election amounts to and
the hardship it works upon the
candidates to bear il. There is not
only the expense Of paying for
Judges and clerks Of election in
four voting places, but also the
cost Of publishing notices and print
ing ballots and various other ex-
psnses which bring the total up TO
a very considerable amount. II is
10 be remembered, too, that we
have no laws governing primary
elections. which offers another OBJ

Special to Daily Leader.

through the city yesterday enroute to
Peru, Kas They started by team
from Custer City. and relate most
thrilling experience in the South Ca.
madam river. which is admitted 60 be
the most ireacherous stream in the
United States, naccount of its boggy
quick sands. When they reached the
river it was early in the night time.
but as the moon was shining brightly
they concluded TO fora the river and
camp on the opposite bank. They
were ignorant of the dangerous fea-
lures of the river. otherwise when
once in it they would have driven
straight across without stopping. as
all parties who are familiar with the
river.
However. when about half way
across the broad stream they paused
to let their team rest. but when they
attempted to start on they discovered
the team could not move the wagon.
Both men climbed out Of the wagon
into the water, which was waist deep
and attempted to start the wagon. bu
in vain, as the wheels had by this
time settled to the hubs in the quick
sand.
The horses were unhi,c ched from
the wagon, and everything that was In
the wagon was taken to the shore.
where the two men built a fire to dry
their clothing, and camped for the
night, intending TO get their wagon
out next morning, as they were too
chilled to worls at it any longer that
night.
When morning arrived and they
looked out into the river for their
wagon it was gone. Naturally they
supposed some person had discover

night and hauled it out AS there
were no tracks of It coming out on
their side of the river, they mounted
their horses and started to ford the
river to the opposite bank. Arriving
in mid stream they discovered one

above the bottom of the river, all the
rest of 1t having been swallowed up
by the treacherous quick sand.
They made no further effort to Sc
cure their wagon, but purchased an
other one at small town not far
