practically all the steamers Of the
mercantile marine, most Of the long
shoremen belonging to the naval re-
serve.
The strike was declared by the ex-
ecutive committee Of the National

OUR FIRST SENATOR
The Nomination Of Col Robert L,
owen is Urged Upon His
Fitness.

This Is NOT only an exalted Office but
one OF tile utmost Importance, tlO-
ness for this responsibility must be
the supreme test personal friendship
admiration for ability along other
lines Or desire to shed distinction upon
a particular locality. should give way
before the supreme question Of illness
It IS upon the ground Of peculiar
fitness that we urge the nomination
Of Hon Robert L. Owen.
What are the qualifications Of Col.
Owen? A man Of education and train
ed business ability. He speaks fluent
ly and is an accomplished linguist IN
six languages. Iie is lawyer Of ma
tional reputation, and as such attor-
ney, has recovered for the Indians Of
the territory in the past sixteen years
over nineteen million dollars. lie un-
derstands our condition and needs and
has definite ideas and plans as TO
how these needs are to be met.
In 1889, he worked successfully for
the granting TO the Indian Territory
OF the first measure of civil govern
ment-the establishment OF the
United States courts.
He figured prominently in securing
the extension of the national banking
act over the territory.
He was active in having passed the
act of congress securing the removal
OF restrictions for the citizens Of the
Indian territory not Of Indian blood.
Through his efforts, in 1901, an act
was passed making all Indians citizens
Of the United States
He labored faithfully and intelli-
gently in obtaining from congress a
supplementary grant extending the
Indian rural school system, an ines
timable benefit to all rural residents.
He is we'll known in the United
States senate and is universally re-
spected:
The character Of the campaign he
has conducted is an indication that he
is thorough gentleman.
His connection with movements for
social betterment has been modestly
kept in the background but he Is
known to be one Of the most liberal
supporters and the vice-president Of
the American Sunday School union;
local president Of the Florence Crit
tenden association for providing
homes for fallen women, and a most
generous contributor and counselor to
the Salvation Army. These are indi-
cations OF the interests aud character
Of the man.
Colonel Owen is man Of convic-
tions loyal to his fridnds and enjoys
the reputation as man who does
things.
For all these reasons, we are con-
fdent that it would be TO the best in
terest Of the state to have him elected
as one Of its first senators. Shawnee
