ANOTHER
CANDIDATE
For District Judge--Frank M.
Bailey Announces For
The Office


announces today as candidate
for judge of the Fifteenth district
which is composed Of CaGdo,
Grady, Stephens and Jefferson
county. Ever since statehood
began to loom up in the horizon,
Mr.. Bailey has been looked upon
as admirable judicial timber and
his many friends will be gratified d
that he has decided TO seek the
office for which he is so eminent
ly fitted. 1t is easy tc indulge in
fulsome eulogies of candidates,
but in Mr.. Bailey's case it is not
necessary, for his character and
life, public and private, are an
open book to those who have
followed his career since he land
ed in Chickasha six years ago.
Some biographical facts, however
will be of interest 10 the public.
Mr.. Bailey was born in Winona,
Miss, September 1876. After
graduating from the high school,
he worked in his fathers store
several years and then entered
Mississippi College from which
he was graduated in 1897 with the
A. B.degree and in 1899 with the
A. M. degree. Meantime during
vacations lie taught a country
school and during his entire COL
lege career he paid all his own
expenses. He was graduated
from the law department of Mill
sap College, Jackson, Miss, with
the degree of l., LIB. in 1900, by
dint of ability and diligence
doing two years work in one.
Following his graduation, he
practiced his profession in Vino
ma a year and then came to the
territory, located in Chickasha in
the fall OF 1901. During the
years 1904 -06 he served as city
attorney, ably sustaining the re-
putation he had already made as
a safe counsellor anc an excell-
ent judge of the law.
Mr.. Bailey has been active as
a party worker, serving on the
city democratic executive COM
mlttee many years and giving the
party the benefit of his counsel
and services on all ocassions. AS
a man and a citizen, his record is
absolutely clean. Mr.. Bailey is
a gentleman in every sense of the
word. He is an eloqunt speaker,
a diligent student and has judic-
ial cast of mind that fits a man
for the office of judge.
Fortunate indeed will the new
state be to get such men to fill
the judicial positions.
MIR. Beiley wants the district
judgeship nomination by primary
election. Concerning his policies
he says: 81 favor the setting Of
cases and arrangement of dock
cts to the end that least possible
expense be incurred to the tax
payers and that the dockets may
be kept clear"
Mr. Bailey is admired by al
who enjoy his acquaintance. He
is a Mason and a member of the
B. p. o. =. Socially and busi-
ness his stan ling is the highest.

SCoTT'S ADDRESS TO The PEOPLE.

the people l had outlined in my
own mind wise. practical and yet
progressive business administration
that would develop our beloved
state and place it i'll the very fore
front of that grand march of
progress and development which
even now has directed the admir-
ing gaze of the civilized world to
the Sunny South, sparkling like
some priceless jewel on the fair
bosom of the nation.
1t was my intention, as my FAM
lily and some of my most intimate
friends we'll know, to have devoted
these four years Of MY life to the
service of my native state, without
accepting a dollar of the guberna
total salary. I wanted to see one
Southern governor, when his hnan-
cial condition permitted, show the
world that he was ready to serve
the state for the public good and
for the honor alone, thus setting a
practical example of civic devotion
that would impress itself indelibly
on the minds and hearts of the
young men of the country The
dream has passed. The dream has
passed. The people have decreed
otherwise; l accept their verde.
with regret, but without bitterness,
and shall continue to serve our
common country and beloved state
in the high and honoreble position
of a private citizen of this great
commonwealth.
l hope that God, in his goodness
and wisdom, will guide and direct
the people in their choice Of the
man who is to preside over the
destinies of the state during the
next four years, for much depends
at this time on their decision. In
this connection, without desiring TO
influence unduly any voter in the
state, think it my sacred duty to
say in answer to many inquiries by
wire and mail, that Mr.. Noel is a
man Of good business ability; one
whose honesty has never been ques-
toned. He is not and can not be
controlled by any clan or ring, and
without having communicated witk
him or any of his friends, directly
or indirectly, I have had no diffl-
Guilty nor hesitancy in choosing be-
tween him and his com petitor, and
will take pleasure, pro bono publico,
in giving him my vote and such
little influence as I may possess.
I have the honor to remain,
Yours respectfully,

THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY
OF OURS.

Where is such a spot Oh the
broad earth's surface for the pro-
duction of all that man needs and
wants as right here below us in the
Mississippi Delta?
Nothing like it in the blue glass
country.
Nothing like it in the beautiful

fertile valley of the Nile.
Let us give cne instance.
A dozen years or so ago, far

acres and he paid for it IS per acre,
one fifth in cash. Since that time
NJ. G.B. Wilmot has almost clear
ed the place. He is ciltivating Ill

bale to the acre. He has torn away

pal building and has erected most

whole of Memphis. Mr.. Wllmot
grows his own hogs, sheep and cat
tie. Only a few days ago, he eS-
hibited samples of beets weighing
many pounds and onions as broad
as saucers. He grows all OF his
own vegetables.
Coursing through the plantation
is the Sunhower river, a silver
stream i'll setting of emerald. On
it. in gum tree canoes, the negroes
fish and sing away their idle hours.
Here and there are magnollas
and oleanders. From their foliage

for the new year. Despite all this,
victory more than once lowered over
our banner as carried it in into the
thickest of the fray. But the con-
slant iteration and reiteration of
calumnies and fasehoods of all
kinds (chief among which were
wilful misrepresentation touching
my Views OH immigration and the
public service corporations) made
at last a deep impression OH the
public mind. This impression,
supplemented by political chican-
erv at the very last, finally turned
the scales against me. On
certain unscrupulous politicians
with whose opposition was
honored from start to finish,
I have no thought nor word

contributed to my defeat, I want

is a tribute to their virtue and SIN

they can not conceive that any man

fully misrepresent and malign his
competitors OF osherwise deceive
the people. In short, their vote

honest vote, even thought is some

No, l don't, he replied grlmly.
There's nothing at all the matter
