CHAPTER XIV

The Princess Romanovna was re-
ceived by his Imperial Majesty in a
small room Of the Winter Palace, a
room which. equipped with graceful
and dainty furniture of the sixteenth
century, was cheerful symphony in
a delicate shade of blue. The fact
that she was favorite at court, to-
gether with her high connections anil
her noble descent, through which she
claimed distant relationship with the
imperial family itself, rendered it COM
paratively easy for her to obtain a
private and informal interview.
His Majesty was standing when Ro-
manovna entered. looking out of the
window on the semicircle where
stands the huge monolith in honor
of Alexander the First He turned.
as her name was announced, and
smiled. She noticed that he was pale
and careworn, and that his expression
even as he smiled, was very sad.
Her heart went out to him in min,
gled affection and reverence. She
bowed low with exquisite grace as
his eyes fell on her, then advanced
to where he stood, and. kneeling, kiss.
ed his hand. He assisted her to arise.
and. still holding her hand, led her
to sofa

subjects to whom we will give more
indulgent ear than to you" and he

Reasons why we are support
ing Judge Lookett for District
Judge.
He is 40 years of age and has
been in the active practice of law
Is years. IA Of which has been
spent right here in the Indian
Territory, while his opponent,
Mr., Bailey, is 80 years old and
has been in the practice only 6
years.
Lockett lives in Stephens
county, county that only asks
for this one state office, while
Chickasha, Mr.. Bailey's home,
wants everything, which we do
not believe to be right.
Lockett 10 being opposed by
every railroad and corporation
lawyer in the district, he has
never represented their interests
but has always been for the peo-
pie, neither do the railroads have
any interests in his home town,
while Chickasha demands upon
railroads for it's existence.
He is thoroughly competent
and if elected we will have a
Judge who will not be controlled
by any person, interest or class
of interests nor by any lawyer,
but the people can feel that their
interests will be determined from
the standpoint of right and JUS
tice fairly and imparially ad"

1t is the general impression here

that Mr.. Freezing, by an honest

The Campaign Lie

Just at this time when the
candidates claims are to be
passed upon by the people
in a primary vote, the mails
are flooded with circular
letters intended to put the
voters wise. A man who is
out for office becomes not
only a worker for himself,
but necessarily n worker
against Others whose inter
est is against his interest.
Furthermore, he is more or
less actively supported by
friends who will attack
other candidates opposed to
him. Thus u candidate be-
comes u target, as it were
for attack, and as scrupu-
lousy honest, where their
interests are concerned, it
follows that the attacks are
not so.
The above is somewhat
platitudinous, but is desig-
ned to lead up TO the fact
that many "a dirty little lie
is going through the mails
this week in Oklahoma

ness or to pay off old grud
ges, and we think it not i'm
probable that Caddocounty
will have it's share.
To our readers we woulC
say, therefore, that the cir
cular which bitterly attack

thing inspiring it other thar

high sense OF duty, and it il

Mudslingiog is not patriot
ISN'T is not even good

that most of the voters, whC
are to pass upon thes
claims of people in the spiri
of fair play, will be Offended
