REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
FOR THE FOURTH CONGRES.
SloNAl DISTRICT CALLED
FOR JANUARY 81.

The republicans are making an
early start in national politics in
the new state and are already begin
ming to issue calls for conventions
in the various congressional dis
tricts. The first convention to be
held will be the one in this, the
Fourth congressional district, at
Coalgate on January 2l. Chairman
\. l.. Perry OF the district and c.
l., Mcclure, secretary. have an
nounced that convention OF the
republicans OF this district will be
he'd at Coalgate for the purpose Of
electing two delegates and two alter
mates to represent this district at
the national convention, and also at
the same time nominate the repub-
lican presidential elector for the dis.
trict.
Carter county is entitled to twelve
delegates AT that convention, which
will in all probability be made up
OF about l75 delegates chosen from
the various counties comprising the
fourth congressional district.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1907-12-23

Mr.. Mcclure also announced the
fact that Loren G. Disney has been
appointed clerk of the Eighth federal
district in eastern Oklahoma.
Mr.. Mcguire was queried as to
whether or not, at the convention
TO be held at Coalgate, would that
body go on record for any partlc-
uIar man as candidate of the party
for the nomination of president. and
whether or not the delegates to the
convention TO be held in Chicago
would go pledged In reply, Mr..
Mcclure stated that in all probability
no such steps would be taken, but
that the delegation would go unin-
strncted TO the national convention.

Ardmoreite Special.

Ardmoreite Special.
Washington, Dec. 23.-As a result
Of the order of the postofiice de-
partment allowing the delivery of
so-called santa Claus letters" to
philanthropic societies and others In
various parts of the country, the
mails are being flooded with APP
peals to Saint Nicholas. In past
years all Santa Claus communica.
tions deposited in the mails have
been sent TO the dead letter office.
His sympathy for the children OF
correspondents of santa Claus, caus-
ed Postmaster General Meyer to
adopt more liberal attitude this
year and to order that such let
ters be delivered to re.
sponsible societies or indiyiduaS
who asked for them. Reports from
various large cities state that an
unprece dented number of ntters
addressed to Santa Claus are now
being mailed and that the activity of
the correspondents is probably due
to Mr.. Meyers order. If it is found
that considerable number of dis
honest or unworthy persons have
sought to take advantage of the
order. it is unlikely that the eXpe-
rimeent will be repeated next year.
The postmaster generals order is
effective only to January l and after
that date all Santa Claus letters
will again be sent to the dead letter
office.
