All governments in this boosted land
Of America are supposed to derive their
lust powers from the consent of the
governed, and this being conceded to
be the case, is it not eminently proper
that all tine people should be made
familiar, before election, with the plans
adopted by the various political parties
| in conducting their campaignsy When
any political party SO conducts their
campaign that, they dare not take the
people into their confidence, it is high
time the voting masses should repudiate
with scorn any party, which does its
work in dark places instead of being
frank with those, of whom it is solicit
J ing their suffrage. Any political party,
afraid to come out in the open and
make known to the voters that which
they ought by right and justice know,
/ is not acting fairly and all thinking

DAVENPORT GETS
ENCOURAGEMENT
Efforts Of Congressman to Get Free
Delivery for Vinita in Fair Way
to be Realized

From letter received by Congressman
James S. Davenport, il is evident that the
postal department is ready to establish
free delivery in Vinita soon An inspec-
tor win probably be in Vinita soon after
the first Of the year to investigate con-
ditions here, and ifthe street crossing are
in by that time, II is certain that the free
service viii be established at once.
The city council has the contract let for
these crossings and If good weather pre-
walls there Is no reason why Vinita should
not get the service. The people around
town are taking considerable interest in
this matter and everywhere requests are
heard for the rushing of the work Of put
ting in these crossings. The streets are
already named and the houses numbered,
so that the only thing that can prevent
free delivery his time is the failure to
