GROOMING
BROWN FOR RACE
Notwithstanding Preference Of Judge
Brown to Stay Out, He viii
BE Drafted.

Tom Brown will be a candidate
for governor" said a well known Vim
ita democrat this morning. He has
admitted that under certain conditions
he would be a candidate and we are
going to draft him TO make the race.
Northeastern Oklahoma wants to see
clean progressive man in the guber-
material chair--a man that will add to,
rather than detract from the dignity
Of the state and Judge Brown is such
a man. 1t is my belief that the race
for the nomination will be between
Bill Murray and Judge Brown and
there is not doubt in the minds Of
the democrats of this section who the
nominee should be- We had enough
of Bill Murray's demogogy during the
first state legislature.
The above statements We're brought
out by the article in Tuesdays Chief
tain, in which 1t was stated that Judge
Brown preferred to remain out of the
race. However friends OF the Judge
state that he will make the race and
are lining up for him strong.
Judge Brown, during his term on
the bench in this district has made
an enviable>record, as a Judge with a
human heart" and will prove strong
factor in the democratic race.

Ouer Peory's Papers, Cook is Undisturbed
When Peary's DenunciGtiOn is ShOwn--
Says His Dissertations Will PROVE
His Statements.

New York, Sept g. TT Among the
friends Of DR.. Cook here who rallied
to his defense yesterday was Captain
b. S. Osborn, president OF the Arctic
Club Of America, who in an interview
attacked Peary's creditibility and de-
clared the evidence would be forth
coming shortly to support Cooks po-
sition and show that Peary's charges
We're unfounded.
In the course of this interview Cap
tain Osborn said:
'Peary in making these charges is
digging his own grave. He is col
ossal fakir and his statements are
the fabric of untruths. AS soon as
he sets foot in New York Mr. Brad
ley and myself will give out the af-
fidayits in support Of our position.
Il have afIidavits stating that Peary
opened Cooks trunks and took out his
observations and data and that he open
ed letter Cook had written to Mrs.
Cook, read it. and then sealed IL up
again Peary also wrote to Mrs. Cook,
telling her boldly that her husband
was fakir."

to the North Pole. As l said Tues
day night. when heard Of Comman-
der Pearys success, if he says he has
been to the pole, believe him.

figures and worked out observations
before a Joint tribunal of the sci
entific bodies Of the world In due
course / shall be prepared to make a
public announcement that win effect

ed the pole But knowing am right
and that right must prevail, viii sub
NIT at the proper time, my full story
to the court Of last resort-the people
Of the world"
This is DR.. Frederick a. Cooks
reply to Commander Peary.
Coming so quickly upon the other
dramatic incidents of the week,
Pearys dispatch denying that Cook
had achieved the triumph for which he
has been feted and honored in Copen-
hagen beyond the lot of any private
person, has been read here with feel
ings Of amazement and concern.
But DR.. Cook himself seems in no
wise disturbed He was perfectly cool
and apparently unmoved when con-
fronted last night with the kilograms
from the United States saying that
Peary had denounced him as an i'm
poster
Regarding the controversy over his
alleged taking OF Peary's stores, Cook
asserts that he has written and other
satisfactory evidence that Peary took
his stores, perhaps believing him dead.
Harry Whitney is personally ac-
quainted with all the facts and per-
haps what he has to say when he re-
turns may be interesting" added the
explorer.
Then Cook remarked quietly Make
as little as you can Of this and don't
say anything disagreeable about
Peary"
Cook told captain Sverdrup and an
other friend the day after he landed
here that he hoped there would be no
unpleasantness over the supplies with
the Peary party; that he had found
some of Peary's men in possession Of
one of his depots and had turned them
out unceremoniously.
It is settled that DR.. Cook will send
the ship back to bring to America the
two Eskimos who accompanied him
on the last stage Of his journey to the
pole. as well as some of the party who
were sent back when the start of the
last stage began. syerdrup may com
mand the expedition. 1t is Cooks de-
sire that he shall do so. and they con-
ferred for some hours yesterday re-
garding the "details Of the expedition.
Cooks purpose in bringing the Es-
kimo comrades to America is to have
them relate their stories OF the trip
to the pole He proposes TO have
them examined by men familiar with
the Arctic and the Eskimo language
including members Of the Peary party,

'Another engagement dinner?
Child, you'll die of fatty degenera-
ton before your wedding. Well
I'll see you through the ordeal, dear,
and you may have that old Satsuma

THANK you, sister mine. You're

"Come-let us all go into the IL
brary for coffee. You men may
smoke there. I hate to think of all
the good stories we miss when you
linger behind. Your arm, Mr. Keith
you may take mine, bride-elect."
With much laughter and polite
holdings back the little party passed
from the room.
They dismounted from a stuffy
car, splashed through the muddy
road and walked quickly down a
street bordered by long rows of
signed, shabbily executed.
Here we are-and they're look
ing for u.s. Several faces disap-
peared from front window and the
door was thrown wide. Adams took
Diana by the hand and led her with
in the badly illumined hall to pre-
sent his fiance.
Mother, this is DIANA
'Well-and so you're the future

take Dinahs coat and hat. This is

Diana, mother" gently corrected
her son.
''Oh, my, yes-Diana. [ mind now.
Higgins had a bay mare called Diana
because her back was shaped like the
moon-they was ne1ghbors of ours
down the country. Now, this is Leda,
Dinah-Diana, I mean, and-NeIlie,
don't be so silly-come out from that
room! She's the shy one of the fami-
ly, he-ha!"
In turn the three sisters were pre-
scented. Susie gave her a resOunding'
smack upon each cheek; Leda extend
ed a limp hand, while Nellie was
seized with such a fit Of giggling
that Diana stood uncomfortably
awaiting developments.
SILLY! She's always like that
when we want her to play proprie-
ty." Mrs. Adams gave her a push
that sent her headlong into the par

there's company And pa was real
sorry that this was his night on the

her comfort. The table was spotless,

The day of his release had come
TO him the signal for battle. to her
the mufI1ed requiem of dead dreams.
Before her stretched an endless vista
of gray days, of work lacking in mo-
tive, of passionate desire and lonely
desolation.
She turned from the window in the
dim twilight and faced him with the
finality of despair upon her white
face. His serious eyes were upon her,
and the usual happy smile was gone
from his lips
"Diana!' His arme opened to her;
without word she surrendered her
self to him in an abandon of glad
ness.

spoke the words with a timidity

from her chair and, leaning over,
kissed Diana on both crimson cheeks.
The others did likewise, while the
men expressed their Fluctuations with
handshaking and friendly raillery.
''To the health of the future Mis-
tress Adams" cried their hostess
laughingly. The clinking Of glasses,
the silent toast, brought tears to
Diana's eyes. Selling an empty glass,
she filled it with trembling hand,
and stood before them in her simple
uniform of blue and white.
''Thank you! And now, will you

heartily, and resumed their places.
