city from all over this section to
participate in the great Wilson day
rally that marks the close of the

The crowds began assembling
early. and long before the hour set
for the parade to form at Central
Park the streets We're literally
blocked with people, all eager to
participate in the festivities.
Immediately after the noon hour
the vehicles and those on horse
back assembled at Central Park and
were assigned their positions in the
parade by chief marshal Garrett
and the line Of march taken up
toward the business section of the
city. First line was Sheriff Garrett
on gaily caprisoned steed, follow
ed by the Ardmore band. Next
We're the police officers and deputy
sheriffs and citizens on horseback
headed by Chief of Police Booker
followed by the entire fire depart

Next in line was the mayor and

Ardmoreite office.
Immediately after the parade had
ended, President Champion of the
Carter county democratic club in
troduced as the first speaker of the
day Hon. Chas. ID. Carter, who spoke
for over an hour on the issues thai

ready to begin his address the
streets We're solid mass of people
extending east and west on Broad
way and south on Washington street,
so that all traffic was practically

address Congressman Carter paid a
tribute to the memory of the de-

S. Sherman, and stated that he
thought it but just to the memory
of this man, that all pause for

lr speaking Of the prospects of
democratic victory at the coming
election, he stated that this was a
year when the democratic party could
afford to be optimistic, as the pros

were never brighter. but he admon-
ished democrats to he vigilant as

lief after passing both houses had
been vetoed by the president.
In speaking Of Roosevelt he stat.
ed that he sympathzed with the
eX-president in his recent misiortun
and expressed the hope that the
cowardly assassin would be meted
swift justice for his act, and he
further stated that the democratic
party should not have hard feelings
toward the great lion hunter, as
through his love of personal power
and preferment he had split the
republican party in twain and made
it impossible for either wing to
keep Woodrow Wilson from being
the next president of the United
States. In his opinion the speaker
stated that Teddy should be elected

Ing as many terms as he desired.
R0hsevelt's record as president was
then taken up by the speaker, VINO
stated that during the seven and
one-.;E years that he was presi-
deut o: the United States, although
he sent more messages to congress
than any other president preceding
him, he never in one of the mes
sages sent, advised the revision of
the tariff downward He then COM
pared the platforms of the democrat
ic party and that of the bull moos-
siye plank adopted by them had
been advocated by the democratic
party, some as long ago as sixteen
years. In closing his remarks Mr..
Carter laid particular stress upon
the question Of Indian affairs that
directly interest the people of east
ern Oklahoma and by his statements
proved that every measure proposed
to grant relief and wind up the
tribal affairs had been sidetrackeG
by a republican administration III
order to keep in office a horde of
retainers at the expense of the In
dians and for political reasons. He
stated that the only hope of relief
would be for the democratic party
to get control of the government
and put an end to this practice.
After Mr.. Carter had concluded,
President Champion then introduced
Judge p W. Gardner of Holdenville,
who spoke for nearly three quar-
ters of an hour upon the issues of
the campaign, and urged his hear
ers to get together as good citi-
zens next Tuesday and by their
ballots assist in bringing the dem
ocratic party into its own.
Upon the whole the day was a
grand success from every standpoint.
The business men of the city enter
ed into the spirit of the affair and
their business houses along Main
street were tastefully decorated, and
the autos and other vehicles in the
parade were a mass of bunting and
flags.
One striking feature of the parade
was Mr.. Herndon, dressed as Uncle
Sam, leading a good old reliable dem
ocratic mule. suitably draped in the
national colors. Another was the
of old soldiers from the
Soldiers Home, who attended in a |
body and occupied seats of honor |
about the speakers stand.
