Keen rrlsd Men in Office.

Mr. Editor: Sir, again the year OF
election has arrived and again the as
pirants for Office are getting their
names before the voters for considera-
tion before and at the primary. | also
soc letter from Watsila who speaks
of dividing up the Offices among men
that have never held Office yet and
making some one go back on the farm
and eat corn bread and molasses. 1t
seems to me that letter was written
more in a spirit of envy than reason.
I.et us reason this thing out in calm
and business like manner. Does any
banking or commercial house that is
looking for successful results fire their
employees simply because they nave
been in their several Offices long en-
ough to find out how best to perform
the duties that their Offices call for
-Suppose some of these sore heads
should go into the First National bank
and say to the president, that cashier
has neld that office long time and
am sure that | can fill it just as well as
him and | have never been a bank
cashier yet. What would be the an
swer? / think it would be thus
have no doubt whatever of your re
markable abilities my dear man, but
as the present cashier gives satisfac
ton have no desire to experiment
with strangers in this business.
Now this thing of holding office Is
business proposition, and if we want
to have an economical and successful
administration of our political affairs
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1912-02-16

We can not afford to experiment with
would be officers any more than the
bank president can; let us take the
sheriff for instance Every voter that
is in this county eight or ten years
remembers the chaotic conditions that
existed, we have all seen squads of
men with full cartridge belts and
rifles leaving Vinita to hunt and make
out laws, and we have also seen day
after day and night after night men
lounging around the railroad stations
with both sides of their coat bulging
out with death dealing Colts law max
ers. Now in the transformation form
these past conditions to the present.
1t is not every man that thinks him or
some of his kinfolks should be sheriff
that would have been as successful as
the present incumbent, H. K. Riden-
hour in my opinion has been very sue
lcessful. A few years ago crime and
disorder was very common, today our
county criminal calendar compares fav-
orable with any part Of the country.
To accomplish this took more men,
more expense and more tact in the last
four years than it will in the future. |
luse the word tact because | am of the
opinion that it takes more generalship
to restore order from choas than TO
maintain order after it is established
and order and peace was not enforced
by brute force and courage because
have not heard or read of Ridenhour
having shot or mistreated any one
while he has been in Office. l am per-
fectly well aware that no officer ever
pleased all the people, no one ever will.
Then why experiment with this very
important county office if we want to
economize He knows more about the
loffice now than when we elected him
10y a big majority and can maintain
Iorder now with one deputy, perhaps
better than some others could with
three. | suppose some say that there
lis men out OF, that ought to be in Jail
OF course some claim to be their broth
ers' keeper and they like to keep hin
in Jail or in the poor house, but | an
flor the man for sheriff that can keeT
Iorder and peace and safety of person
and property in the county with the
Ifewest possible numbers in Jail. Yes
/ would vote for him to sit in his office
all day smoking his pipe in peace will
all the Jail doors open providing law
and order is maintained Voters le
us not experiment too much.

GALBREATH OR
BRADY IN TULSA
On The Eve Of Election Both Galbreath
And Brady Are Claiming The
Victory.

Tulsa, Okla. Feb. 10.-The results
of tomorrow's precinct caucuses in
Tulsa county will practically settle the
race for endorsement
as national committeeman from Okla
homa on the democratic side. These
caucuses will be held in every county
precinct AS many voters as can con-
gregate will meet and select their dele
gates to the democratic county con-
Yention, which will be held here on
Saturday, February II. This conven-
tion will elect delegates to the state
convention at Oklahoma City, Febru-
airy %, and will also do the more inn
portant thing of endorsing one or the
other of the Tulsa county candidates
for national committeeman. Both the
Galbreath and the Brady forces have
prepared a strong line of action in the
Saturday caucuses, and each side
claims that they will control the ma
iority of the delegates to the county
convention. When the results are
known Saturday night either Brady or
Galbreath can glance at the list and
pick their men" In the meantime
another joint debate will be held here
Friday night.

GaIbreath Beats Brady.

Tulsa Okla Feb. 9-(SpeciaD IT
Tate Brady, candidate for democratic
national committeeman and opponent
to Robert Galbreath, Tulsa county cam
didate for that Office, met a crushing
defeat Tuesday afternoon when the
county central committee voted down
the proposition to change the hour of
the precinct caucuses from ? o'clock to
1870 p. M, next Saturday
Brady, who controlled the conven-
tion of a week ago fixed the hour at 2
O'Clock in pursuance with the call of
the state committee, and today at
tempted to line up the union labor
vote at the precinct caucuses by chang
ling the hour to accommodate them after
working hours. The leaders of the
labor unions appeared before tht con-
lvention and filed their protests to the
proposed change and presented petit
tions signed by over 400 laboring men
who urged that the committee stand
by the o'clock call and not confuse
the voters on next Saturday.
Today's meeting was an interesting
one and was looked upon as the final
test of strength between Brady and
Galbreath.

ciEot in the county.

Eugene Gill, Oklahoma City, Okla.
Dear Sir--T notice that Gov. Cruce
stated in The Oklahoman of Sunday
that he had only spent $6,353.0S dur
ing the past six months. You stated
that his biennial appropriation was
$76,20O and that more than one half
of it had been spent during the first
year of his incumbency Please ex-
plain. Very respectfully,

Dear Sir-I noted Gov. Cruces
statement purporting to correct alleg-
ed Misrepresentation and also his
hign-sounding Interpolation about the
records of his office being an open
book, etc.
THE records of the state auditor
show that there has been paid out of
the funds carried under the heads of
governors appropriations the sum of
I$38,752S9 during the first twelve
months of his incumbency, as follows:
Salaries, $3.50; special services, extra
help, $4,313.36; postage, $1,571.S4; tel
|egraph and telephone, $73960; special
investigation fund, s3,SSS.7S; rewards

which Gov. Cruce failed to refer

tary. drew warrant 1897 for 81, ,265 out
of the postage fund Only $685. was
spent for postage during eleven months
of the previous fiscal year This ex-
cessive postage account is probably
due to the volumes of letters to jurors
asking them if they are kidding when
they bring in verdicts to hang negro
murderers.

pired June 80 1911, but it did not re-
main dormant during the first six
