NATIONAL DELEGATE

r. ublican, Of this county were seen
this morning hut they gave no cred
ence TO the rel orJ There was some
talk q few days ago about the matter
of rostponing the fourth congressional
district republican convention but as
late az Saturday the politicians here
were in conversation over the phone
with Dynamite Perry and nothing was
said of a postponement and the dele
gates here are of the opinion that the
story was based upon rumors that
were aflot several days ago and that
the COalgate convention will be held
on schedule time and that it will be
the first convention held in the United
States in this campaign.
The endorsement of G. A. Ramsey
as delegate to the National Convention
Saturday was not merely bouquet
thrown at a good man and a good re
publican but the rarty workers here
are pushing his claims and will use
every honorable means to elect him
Mr.. Ramsey came here from Mis-
souri, six years ago. He represented
the seventh congressional district Of
Missouri in the National Convention in
1902 which met at Minneapolis and
named Harrison as the republican can
didate for president. SO well satisfied
with tie candidacy of Mr. Ramsey
wee the Missouri republicans that he
received every vote in the convention
/ That VAS a remarkable record for Il
delegate to be selected by the ont.t"
vote of a convention where there are
| always many asprants and where
nominations are 50 easily made. Mr..
Ramsey was for four years receiver Of
| the Land Office at Springfield. Mo-.
| which appointment he held under Pres
| ident Mckinley He was reared in
| the same town, New Lisbon, Ohio, with
; William Mckinley, they were close
friends and their families were relate"
Mr.. Ramsey is man who takes an
active interest in public affairs lie
| came from Missouri to oklahoma for
the reason that he was giving so much
!. of his time to rublic matters that he
e desired to go to 4 new country where
5 lhe could break 2waY from public
] duties that resulted in good to HIS
t city and state and was not remuner
g atiye to him. But soon after he came
) here he saw the great need for a Y
e VI. c. A.. for the boys of the city ami
Y he could not resist getting in the move
nent to help the boys secure this much
needed building. He is always actlve
in his church affairs and labors I'M
sefishly in any movement which mas
e for its object the making of his town
d and county better. He is worthy OF
J. any honor that his party can give
e HIM He is worthy as a man, as cit
II izen and as a republican he is worthy
e of any honor the republican party he's
/ to bestow.
