FRANTzBLOW OUT
County Committee gets lots of
Wind,-4 bands and 81 Reed
to fill up the time.
Cyednesday's II

OF the season came out TO
see Frank Frantz, the ex- Demo
crat, and the occasion was
helped out by the Apache, Car
neRie, Hinton, and Anadarko
bands. Judge F. E. Gillette
acted as master of ceremonies,
presenting the speakers. To
those who were thoughtful list
eners, it was evident that Gillette
was the only speaker whose re-
marks merited consideration, and
he, unfortunately, spoke only a
few moments. After a band con-
cert, the home male q~uaytette
rendered "Drink to me only with
thine eyes," and Mr.. Reid, the
organizer of the FL Reno orig
inal Sambo Club of the old days
and who as deputy county at
torney of Canadian county had
horrible trouble to get his cases
into court, spoke first, in the in.
terest of his candidacy as Attor-
ney General.
Like most Republican orators
these days, Mr.. Reid dwelt on
national history of Is years back,
which not being an issue in this
campaign, is Of no more interest
to Democrats than to Frantz sit
ting behind him, who voted for
Cleveland and Bryan. He said
that the constitution lie as full of
objections as a dog is full of fleas
in August; but did not advise
any one to vote against it or an.
nounce how he stood with refer
ence to it, while running for Of
fee under it He said that Roos-
evelt is the joker that will take
the Democratic trick, if the con.
stitution is partisan. Mr.. Reid
did not quote Tsft's published
statement that in his belief Roos-
evelt must accept the constitution
With reference to local issues,
Mr.. Reid gave us the stock OF
pifle that all his party spell
binders have lodged and evaded
with during the campaign.
There was the gerrymander lie,
the criticism of the initiative and
referendum that Secy. Taft lei
the wind out of and Charles West
exploded, the stock accusation
that the clause giving the legis.
lsture power TO keep the working
OF the corporation commission
up with the times was a stealthy
effort to kill the article on cor.
porAtons, a purposed m~isquotine
of Sec. 2 of Art. 10, on Revenue
and Taxation, and a fearful par
ade OF bombast with reference t
being on the side of the littl,
fellow in the matter Of schools
while ne forgot-they all do
to mention the 81, 100000 yesrl,
school fund arising from rent o
school lands and interest on tn
so ,000, 900 in the enabling act
independent of any fund arising
from taxation. He made tn
statement that under the consti
tuition, the schools of Anadark,
! could not be run four months il
the year. Mr.. Reid may believ,
what he said, as he is stateC
not TO be very hefty except as Il
embonpoint.
Mr.. Reid made one statemen
worthy of careful consideration
OF the Caddo county farmers ant
workers,-that the Republican
party is the only party that ha
offered to change the constitu
. ton. The Farmers Union an,
the Labor Unions were repre-
sented at Guthrie during tn
whole Of the work Of the eonven
ton, and had all their measure
incorporated. Mr.. Reid says hi
party will change them. Afte
al hour and fifteen minutes h
gave way to Frank Frantz, tn
official head of the anti state or
. ganization,-for il it's Tulsa plat
J form means anything at all,
