NJ. q. WILEY

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the announcement Of NJ c. Wiley, of
Guymon, who is candidate for the
office of State Senator, subject to the
will of the Democratic party.
Mr. Wiley is not stranger among
us yet, comes somewhat under the
head of the "new corners" having To-
Gated at Guymon when that town was
first founded. He has been one of the
leaders in affairs political since he
came to the county, and this together
with the practice of his profession
that of an attorney-has brought him
prominently before the public and
makes il almost unnecessary for the
HERALD to make any further comment
than to say that he is a candidate.
Mr.. Wiley is a man that stands high
in the estimation of his Democratic
brethren and they will make united
effort to nominate and if nominated,
to elect him. He will make a strong
candidate. About the only thing that
can be said against him is that he is the
editor of newspaper-the Guymon
Democrat. We understand though
that he is not entirely to blame for
that having allowed his friends CD to
persuade hin into it to fill the "long
felt want" of Democratic newspaper
in central Beaver county The only
thing that surprises us is that an editor
could have the nerve to ask for any
thing and expect to get it, Who ever
knew newspaper TO get anything but
blame for what the "other fellow
didn't get9
