Appointments 10 the new immigr
ton commission by the president, the
vice president and the speaker indicate
the determination to sgive the Sodth
fair showing and her peculiar needs
and conditions full and generous con-
sideration. 1t is especially notable that
Senator Latimer, of South Carolina, is
A member. His state has taken the lead
in the immigration movement, pro-
bably because the need for labor was
more pressing there than elsewhere,
and has been reasonably successful in
importing Europeans. In doing this
the State government has combined
with large corporations and wealthy
citizens in accommodating a fund which
was used freely in paying the prelimi-
nary expenses Of immigrants and pro-
viding for their comfort and safety
when they arrive. This movement and
method is likely to be initiated by all
the Southern States if the law can be
construed or amended 10 allow them
10 do so. Judging from the course Of
three leading Federal officials charged
with the primary responsibility, the
South may look forward to immigra-
ton laws which will regard her condi-
tons andrequirem ents aud enable her
20 secure her share of the foreign pop
udation, which she needs so sorely and
can use so well TO mutual advantage,
and to which she offers such vast in
lucements AMI attractions.

TO SUPPORT Turner.
POTTAWATOMIE DEMOCRAT OUT
FOR OKLAHOMA CITY MAN.
BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE
Believes Interest of the Party is At
Stake and Will Take Sides
in the Primary

Shawnee, Okla, May 1.-THE Pot
tawatomie County Democrat, pub
lished IN this, one of the strongest
Democratic counties of the new state,
has come out openly in support of
Hon. M. L. Turner for the United
States senate. The Democrat pub
lished at Tecumseh, the county seat,
says in its editorial columns, under
the heading of "The Best Qualified"
The Democrat has always refrained
from taking sides for or against any
candidate before the primary, and it
always will, only when it believes that
the interest of the Democratic party
is at stake, and in that case it be-
lieves it is not cnly its privilege, but
its duty, to point out to the voters
the reasons why one candidate is bet
ter qualified to fill certain Office
than any of his opponents. This priv
ilege, we believe, only extend to state
candidates, when we are better ac-
quainted with the candidates than it
is possible for che majority of the vot-
ers to be. In this case it is every pa
pers' duty to give the voter the advan-
vantage of its knowledge of its fitness
any candidate for the Office he seeks.
"Democracy's candidate for the diff
ferent state offices should be Demo
Gratis whose democracy has never been
qu. STONED Men whom the united
democracy Of the new state can and
will support.
"There should be no stain on their
past, private and public life.
'They should be honest, capable
and believe that a public Office is a
public trust and not a private snap.
They should be men that believe in
the peoples right to rule and not in
machine rule.
"They should be men that are con-
Quoting a clean, honest campaign and
are willing to leave their nominations
to the people.
"Such a man we know NJ. l.. Turner
candidate for United States senator,
to be. We believe him to be the best
qualified Of any candidate asking for
this high Office, our belief is based up
on business and social acquaintance
of over l6 years standing.
"The first senators from Oklahoma
should be our ablest men. They
should stand for the people and
against corporations. Such man is
NJ. L. Turner of Oklahoma City, who
should be one of the two senators to
represent Oklahoma liz the senate
