indifference or lethargy on the part
of the people of that time. He re-

and how, with indomitable reason
ing, he stumped the state for the
success of that meausure and car
ried il triumphantly before the peo-
pie in an almost incredibly short
time and with little funds to do it
with. With this success and the sue

at the general election his I'm oo"t-
ant duties did not end.
AS co-counsel. Mr.. Branson won a
signal victory in the United States
court in defense of those charged
with enforcing the election laws. Mr..
Branson's splendid presentation of
it in brief which turned the tide
of the prosecution, and demonstrated
to the profession generally, that, as
yet, congress had not, by appropriate
legislation, provided for the enforce
ment of the 18th amendment
When it became known that Mr..
BrGnson would be a candidate for
one of the congressman at large
/ from Oklahoma, there Went up al
most a popular chorus of gratifica-
ton in the ranks of the democracy,
because it was felt it would afford
the people an opportunity to show
their appreciation of his services in
behalf of the party and popular gov
ernment in Oklahoma.
Mr.. Branson is in hearty accord
with his party on all the progressive
and reformatory measures of govern
ment, and his ready speech and
iorcetul skill have always been free
ly given in their behalf. He attach

better safeguard state election laws
and he shall demand of congress,
the concerted effort in securing con
gressional aid for irrigation and $40
100000 for such purpose.
The great patent law monopoly
has engaged Mr.. Branson's atten-

his theory of reform in that particu
lar has been taken up by leading
men in congress with prompt approx

tail and application. have been
sought. Few men of his age and

Memorial Services, w. o. w.

The Woodmen OF the World OBJ
served Memorial Day here Sunday.
The members met at their hall in
the morning and marched to the
Broadway Methodist church where
Rev. c. Raymond Gray preached the
Memorial sermon. The team was
dressed in uniform and carried their
axes. Mr.. Gray preached very in
teresting sermon as well as very
practical sermon. He began with
a discourse on monuments, telling
of the wonderful influence or thesel
silent messengers speaking of thes
good work of those who have passed
on to their reward. From the in
fluence of the less noted whose in
fluence had gone out to relatives and
neighbors and this gave him an op-
portunity to eulogize the mother and
her influence which was the most
forceful portion of the sermon. The
dwelled upon and he took the bitle
to prove that men should be care
full and dligent to care for those
whom he should care for in a mate
rial way.
The Ladies Auxiliary met at three
o'clock at the X. of p. hall and lis
tened to a splendid memorial ser
mon. After the sermon WOodmen
and their wives to the number OF
nearly three hundred formed in line
of march on Main street, and, with
the degree team in the lead proceei-
ed to Rose Hill cemetery, where
twenty eight grass grown mounds
mark the last resting place of the
departed members of the order. At
ter the decoration ritual had oeen
given the different ones assembled

beautiful floral tokens of remem

tiful and the flowers were many.
After leaving all graves of depart
ed comrades under bank of these
sweet emblems of remembrance the
Woodmen and their families return
ed to the city in conveyances.
The decoration of the graves of
those gone before is most beautiful
custom that is followed annually by
the members of this fraternity, one
that shows that the memory of those
gone before is ever kept green in
the hearts of the surviving brothers
and sisters. The order of w. o. ".
is one of the strongest, as well as
one of the most reasonable in its
charges and assessments, of all the
fraternal insurance orders and the
membership in this city is very
large one.

The subject of this sketch was
gia, and at the age of % he was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1908. The fol-
lowing year he came to the then
Indian Territory and lived for
while in McAlester and one year la
ter went to Muskogee.
Sharing in liberal degree the
sreat demand for the rights and PRIV
ileges of state autonomy, he enter
ed heartily into all movements look
ing toward the admission OF the
state into the union, and was recog-
nized as one of the most promising
young democrats of the new state,
He became candidate for elect
ion to the First legislature from
Muskogee. and in the ensuing cam
paign. surprised his friends by his
force upon the stump as ready ana
vigorous speaker. His Intelligent
and active interest in the political
questions of the day. soon found ap-
preciatiNe recognition by being made
"A member of the democratic state
central committee from mis- county.
which position he has held from 1gOS
to the present time, and in 1909 to
1910. was chairman of the state cleo
tion board. which position he filled
with great satisfaction to all parties
by his eminent fairness.
When the campaign of 1910 was
approaching, the demand for man
of strong Judgment, selt-reliance and
Jorceful activity. readily found its
Rrlnson. Even the state committee
itself did not realize the Importance
of that campaign to the people. as
well as the party. and had it not
been for the keen discernment and
masterlul management of Mr.. Bran

that contest would have been as II
was. He initiated the so-called
Grandfather clause to Oklahoma
state constitution and campaigned
it to adoption by $4,000 majority
This work uas done within a limited
time-in fact the time was so short
before the August primary of 1910,
that many OF the leading citizens
of the state said that the feat could
not be accomplished in so short time
Without the work of Branson, night
and day, it could not have oeen mi
tiated or adopted. What blessing its
adoption has been to more than
twenty-five counties in this state,
the white citizenship OF those coun-
ties alone can tell.
