BANQUET PROMISES
TO Be A SUCCESS
INTEREST is MANIFESTED BY
PEOPLE WHO WERE HERETO
FORE LACKING.

The banquet to be given by the
Commercial Club at the Wilmington
Hotel on the night of January 11th,
promises to be success. Many
were heard talking of it on the
streets this morning, and it is eSti-
mated that at least 100 will attend.
The support given the Commercial
Club in this city has not been of
the best for some time past, many
OF the best members through neglect
or carelessness allowed themselves
TO drop from the rolls, but they are
learning that this is not the proper
thing to do and are going to get back
| in the fold and become active, as
well as paving members, and are
pledging themselves to bring at
least one new member.
"A real live commercial club can
do much for a city" remarked one
who has been recreant this morning
and | for one propose to see that
we have the lvest bunch of boost
ers in the southern section of the
state I'VE are sleeping on oul
rights and have been for some time
here in this city, and the result
has been that other towns have
taken advantage of the condition ant
have secured industries that by al
means should have been located il
this city. We are happily located
as shipping point and with the
completion of the Rock Island eXten
sion west to Waurika there is nc
reason why Ardmore should not be
a city second to none in the state

MORNING IN SORRY PLIGHT,
AFTER HARD DRIVING.

\. \. Stegall drove to town yester-
day afternoon from the McLish addi-
ton and stopped his horse in front
of j. Matt Moore's store to make a
purchase and when he returned his
horse and buggy were gone. He WAS
not in the store more than five min
utes and thought that the fastenings
became loose and the horse had wan
dered away.
\ diligent search failed and he gave
it up until this morning. This morn
ing the horse was found hitched near
the old Ardmore lumber yard at the
corner of c street and Broadway and
was in very jaded condition, evident
ly having been driven the greater part
of the night. Mr. Stegall lives on
Scott street S. W., and last night
shortly before dark Mrs. Stegall rec
ognized the rig being driven past the
place bu tthrought at the time it was

GAS ON VACATION
LAST NIGHT
FOR A FEW MINUTES THE CITY
WAS WITHOUT GAS, OWING TO
CLOSED GATE.

The gas following the example OF
the electric lights took vacation for
few minutes last night and went
completely out. Tie cause was from
the fact that when the engineer in
charge of the compressor at the fields
shut off the machine, it is not used at
night, he left the gate nearly closed
with the result that the gas in the
mains was quickly consumed and the
city was without fuel. 1t was soon re-
sumed and announcement made at the
different playhouses that people who
had left gas burning had better be
cautious about striking matches when
they went HON. The new mains for
the extensions have arrived and work
will begin of laying them at once.

SHOULD NOT SEND
AN INSTRUCTED DELEGATION.

]
Southern Oklahoma furnishes the
votes that keeps Oklahoma in the
democratic column. Southern Okla
homa will have the delegates to con
troll the state convention which
meets in Oklahoma City on the 22nd
of February and the southern tier
of counties must realize that they
hold the destiny of the democratic
party in this state in their hands. Up
ON their action depends the success
of the party and for this reason
these southern counties owe deDt
to democracy that is sufficient to
arouse their keenest interests and
sharpen their best judgment with
reference to the courts to be pursued
in this state.
The democrats of the south want
a man for president who can win.
There is no need of creating fac
tons in the party The man who
can win will make himself evident
before the national democratic con
yention conyenes and that is time
enough to admit of instructions TO
a delegation.
There are two reasons why Okla
homa should not send an instructed
delegation to the national conven-
ton: First, If an instructed dele
CATION is sent there is no use to Sc
lect the best brains of the party to
attend the convention as delegates,
a company of school boys can 90
instructed and fill the same position
that will be required of instructed
delegates. Oklahoma ought to send
an uninstructed delegation. When
the Oklahoma delegates meet in ma
tional convention with democratic
delegates from all the other states
they will be able to size up the sit
uation and do better part by dem
ocracy than the people who are not
close to the situation can do. Dem
ocrats. are not jealous, democrats
are anxious to win a president, the
party is tired of paying millions OF
tribute to the party in power and
the party wants delegates who have
4, iaa1 n
resent them in the national conyen
ton by selecting the strongest man
offered them.
he second reason is sufficient to
/ lead every democrat in the state
to declare against an instructed del
egation. The second reason is the
fact that the state convention meets
| from five to six months before the
national convention does, Clark and
Underwood are in congress, con
cress is i'm session and either of
these men may aCqut himself in a
manner that will make him the log
ical candidate of the party. Harmon
and Wilson are before the people,
but so far the rank and file of dem
ocracy know but little of the two
men. They have heard much but
know but little They are entitled
to know much OF the candidates
before they act, and for this reason
Oklahoma should not send an in
s'ructed delegation.
If the democrats of Oklahoma
would instruct its delegates the con
yention should be postponed until
some time in June BY that time the
democrats OF the nation viii have a
reasonably fair idea of whom they
should select as their standard bear
er. but if the state convention is
not postponed it would be a crime
against the party for instructions to
he made as early as February.
