be in the fighting ranks this year,
Among his remarks at the rally last
night Mr.. Champion said:
II the people of Ok ,ahoma feel that
the two cent passenger fare law, the
bank guaranty act, the good roads
law, the municipal act. the effort to
preserve Oklahoma gas for the indus
tries of Oklahoma, the law protecting
individuals against the corporations
and the corporations against indiyid
uals, the law allowing the corporation
commission to take action for the re.
lief of evil conditions, and the admin
istration of those laws have been for
the common good of all the people,
then there will be no change in the
party comp. .eXion of the state house
after the election of 1910. Then at
the August primary the democratic
party will name the successors TO the
present officers both state and county.
and in view of this fact great care
should be exercised by the people in
the selection of officials to steer the
ship of state that sails under a demo
cratic banner for the next four years.
Among the various number that as
pire to each Office there will and can
be found out of the number one for
each position better fitted, better quail
ified and more competent than his
opponents, and if the people fail to
make the proper selection, then mis-
conduct in the affairs OF the demo
cratic administration must be charged
up TO the democratic party. Politics

has q right under the constitution TO

the success or failure of the peop,e as
