Nothing New in Marshars Race.

The story comes from Washington
that the President may appoint his
cousin. Arthur G. Porter, United
States Marshal for the Southern dis.
trist and those who are watching the
situation look for this appointment
TO he made when Colbert's term ex.
pires in few days II is stated that
Porter would like to have the mar
';halship of the district and while
Colbert is known to be a personal
friend of the president still he may
fail of re-appointment as he is being
givorously by candidates for the posi-
fail of reappointment and is being Wig
orously fought by candidates for posi-
tion. Porter would prove a compro-
mise candidate and the president
could relieve the situation by appoint
ing him, and in a great measure unite
the factional differences that other
wise cannot be brought about by the
selection of any of the present candi
dates There has been a great deal
of bitterness displayed in the cam
paign and the public is we'll aware Of
the race between the applicants and
the methods used.
While Porter is mdntioned as the
most available man the situation does
not look blue for Colbert. The story
goes that if he succeeds in satisfying
the president of the charges which
have been brought against him in the
form of indictments in the school war
rant frauds his chances are bright
If the matter is not fully cleared up
the chances are that Porter will be
the man to succeed him.
II Is said that Porter, besides being
a relative of the president spent sew
eral years on a ranch in the west, part
of the time being associated with Col
Roosevelt He was in charge of the
detachment which guarded Roosevelt
on the occasion of his famous ride
across the mountains. 1t is said that
the president has indicated that the
first opportunity he will give Porter
better place than he now holds.

WHAT ARE DEMOCRATS DOING?

There are times when inaction is a
crime. There are times when princi-
pies suffer more from inaction than
from any blows that may be dealt by
the opposition. Principles that are
allowed to lie dormant are too apt to
be forgotten until public wrongs force
their agitation again. Such may be
truthfully said of local democracy.
The opposing party being In control
of the government furnishes no eX-
cuse for the democrats to he dormant
any longer What excuse can the
party leaders have for becoming &c
tive for u brief period on the eve oil
national election and then stealing
away from the firing line until the
whole nation is convulsed again by a
presidential election.
Continual work Is required to keep
political Issues before the people.
those first allowed to lie dormant are
mst to be- forgotten. Now, ON the
eve OF legislation which has favor.
able outlook for statehood, is the u,nc
tor the democrats TO rally. Frequen,
| meetings arouse interest, discussion
adds to the ranks, feelings OF mutual
friendship and interests produce har.
mony ana the whole Will result in an
acuve, united demOcraCy that will
! bring about victory when the battle
comes. Indian Territory mas brilliant
men in the party, they are as willing
to work as the people in any of the
states, organization is all that is r.
quired to put them in the harness and
bring back to them the old time en-.
thusiasm for party success. Lethargy
the king OF enemies 10 territory demo
cracy has had its feast, the time 10,
its control is at an end, and from ihiS
time the party should be satisfe with
only an active democracy.
We believe in the broad principles
advocated by the democratic party
and believe in instillng these pr,n-
ciples into the minds of the youth OF
the land. 1t is the duty of the paHy
officers to call meetings an not only
give instruction from local people 5,t
invite speakers from other towns
who are ready, willing and are capa-
BILE to proclaim the principles of the
party. These methods will arouse the
young men. All publications friendly
to the pas viii give these meetings
ample spa b. o..aso the proper en-
thusiasm.
The Ardmoreite is of the opinion
that this district is the bulwark of ter
ritory democracy. We have the in
telligent manhood to proclaim demo
cratic principles until they are accept
ed at every fireside. Privates in the
ranks naturally hesitate to take the
lead but are waiting for their leaders
