tunity to take stock Of his capabilities.
This they have done and the inventory
pleases them.
Mr.. Bailey's early life was passed
amid rural environments. He is no
stranger to the hardships and com
pensations Of life on a farm. His
record presents an example Of what
q boy may do for himself by dint of
perseverance and hard work. Spur
red by ambition from the first, he
began early to plan and to act. He
wanted an education, one of the best
to be had, and he got it, not by squan-
dering his fathers hard earned saw
ings, as many another boy would
have done, but he bought his own ed
ucation and paid for it out Of his own
pocket, earning the money as he went;
all Of which evidences his independ-
ence and enterprise.
After practicing his chosen pro-
fession for one year in his home town
in Mississippi, Mr.. Bailey was struck
by the force Of that advice which Mr..
Greely offered to young men in gen
eral good many years since. He
went west. Guided by good luck and
good judgment, he came to this gar
den spot Of the earth, which was des-
tined later to comprise the great state
of Oklahoma, and opened an office
in Chickasha. Tn 1904, he was made
city attorney, which office he filled
with distinction and to the entire sat
isfaetion Of his constituents, for a
period Of two years. During this pc
riod, many matters of vital import
ance to the city came before the coun-
Gil for consideration. The duties Of
the city attorney were exacting. His
responsibilities were heavy. Mr.
Bailey proved himself equal to the oc-
casion and made himself Of invaluable
service to the city and its fathers"
by the soundness and wisdom of his
counsel He studied the signs of the
times and the requirements Of the oc-
casion and was ready with the remedy
for the evil, whatever it happened to
be He prepared himself, not only
for the regular order Of business, but
for emergencies as well, and when
there was an issue to be met, he al
ways met it fairly. By this means
he increased the popularity previous
ly won and added much to his reputa-
tion as a lawyer.
Mr.. Bailey is naturally a man Of
broad views and fair mind. These

followed, and the four bears, who had

The people want, for the judges Of
their courts, men whose integrity and
absolute honesty Of purpose cannot be
questioned The safety Of this gov
ernment depends, to a large extent,
upon the incorrnptibility Of its ju-
dietary. The province Of the courts
being to construe the laws enacted by
the legislative department, it would
be a very serious mistake to select
for a Judge man whose reputation
and standing in the community do
not make it certain that he is safe,
fair-min led and conservative. Voters
can afford to be less critical in the
selection Of other officials. The more
important the office, the more careful
should be the investigation Of the men
offered; and while it is incumbent
upon every voter, as patriotic cit
izen to rally to the support of the
best available man for any office, his
first and highest duty, as a voter, is
to endorse for the judges Of the courts
those men whom he knows to be com
petent, qualified and deserving of pre-
ferment.
In considering the claims Of any
particular candidate It is a good idea
first to take stock Of his standing at
home. Learn what his neighbors
think of him. They know him. They
know his strength and his weaknesses,
his vices and his virtues, and they
are invariably outspoken in their
praises or denunciations. If they
present solid front in his support,
you have the best evidence Of his true
value that may be had, for theirs is
the testimony Of witnesses who know.

During the Franco-German war q
man owed his life to an umbrella.
He was so obviously a foreigner that
the French arrested him as a German

against the attacks OF the exchange

fast. 1t is said such Jaw is before
