Junk Dealers Alleged To BE in
League With Hungar-
ian Women

Adleson. a junk dealer who was fined
IS In Justice Stems court, Wednes
day on the charge of receiving stolen

cradle proportions by which sever a.
peddlers, by the free use OF whisky
induced Hungarian women, living 10
the vicinity of the iron works, tc
plunder the cars for total Of many
tons OF iron and steel. to be sold later
to the junk dealers.
Morris Tuchewski, another junk
man, Is under arrest In connection
with the same plot, and will be tried
later. other peddlers are also said
to be involved, and are being sought
by the police.
Complaints to the Wabash railroad
and to Commissioner Croul, by the
iron works, led to watch being SCI

Detective Thomas Edgeworth, OF
the wabash railroad, caught AdlesoI

The Democrats Want Him.

Col. Bob Sciyally, president OF the
state organization OF County Com

Bob Gillian is well known and
has been tried. He IS Jeffersonian

him to be national committeeman

Promises General Favor.

Comanche county leads off with a
declaration that promises to become
popular in democratic county com
mittee and convention circles in the
next few weeks. 1t is the resolution
against the candidacy of state and
federal ofgce-holders for places as
delegates to the natrional democratic
convention elsewhere, and, as stated
by the News-Herald some days ago,
a similar resolution will be ofc
in the convention to lie held in Potta-
watomie county on February nth
This action is. not being taken out
of personal opposition to any of the
excellent gentlemen who occupy
state o. federal offices and whose
names have been proposed by their
friends as suitable material for dele
gates. 1t will result. if the state
convention carries out the idea, in
restoring confidence 10 the rank and
file OF the party, that the democratic
party really does stand for the rule
of the people and such movement
ought to have the earnest and un-
selfish support OF every state and
federal official and OF every candi.

Mccurtain County For Gillian.


No political party ever remained
long the majority party in a city,
county or state, when certain leaders
in that party began to consider them
selves greater than the party itself.
History has proven this time and
again in the past and while Okla
homa is safely democratic, the ques-
ton arises will she continue so if the
party leaders continue to engage in
factional fights and direct their guns
against members of their own party
instead of the common enemy?
The present is not the time to pub
licly air party grievances.
With the socialists gaining ground
at every election and their mission

Gratis on every hand. and the repub-

serve each his own interest, they will
step down and out and thereby bury
their grievances out OF the party
household.
In this southern portion OF the
state, We have no grievances, but We
have fayoriteS, and yet whoever the
party selects as committeeman VIII
be our committeeman, and We will De
in a position to feel towards him gen
erously and politically loyal
From all over the southern and
southwestern portions of the state,
Robert Gillian is being favorably
mentioned He has a host of friends,
but no enemies. He has no sympathy
with Quarrels among democrats. yet
he has party record behind him that
assures us of party loyalty in the fu-
ture and of fidelity to the position II
he is honored by it. Let us reason
together, and let Us pull together, and
unite upon Bob Gillian for national
committeeman.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-01-28

In this contest for democratic ma
tional committeeman, the News-Her-
aid hopes that Tulsa county will do
the wise thing and compel her two
candidates to submit their chances
to county primary. 1t was under
stood that both Galbreath and Brady
favored this method OF settlement but
in the committee meeting held last
week our report from there says that
Brady refused to go before, county
primary and proposed that matters
be settled at the August primary.
That is mere subterfuge. The Aug
ust primary has nothing to do with
the national committeeman. The con
vention that names the delegates has
the power and authority to name the
national committeeman. The nation
al delegates propose his name TO the
perfunctorily ratifies his selection.
He then becomes an important fac
tor in the work of the campaign ~
the committee usually begins the go
lection of committees, officers, etc,
Immediately after the adjournment OF
the convention. If We were TO post.

teeman until August he would, when
chosen, be a mere supernumerary, il

no mystery about the propcsltiOE

agree to withdraw from the race for
committeeman.
There are several other aspirants
for the place. and among whom there
is no personal hostility, no unseemly
wrangling, and from whom selection
can be made. that. when made, will
leave no sore spots.
The position OF national committee
man is one of political honor and dis
tinction., and the holder should be
man without grudges to crafty. He
should be able to look upon the par
ty as a whole and its various con-
siituent elements and regard them
with equal favor, and be in position
to be prompted by sense of even
handed justice. In the fight between
Messrs. Brady and Galbreath they do
not only have their partisans locally,
but friends in other portions OF .he
state have taken up the cudgel, and
in that way have aligned themselves
and will be injuriously effected by
the success of one o. the other.
The party has no interest in this
local row, and the party as a whole
should frown upon it and say to these
two gentlemen, you are both wrong.
and you must not expect the sriev-
ance of either one of you to be poul-
ticed by being selected as the favor
ite These gentlemen should agree
among themselves to be just as good
democrats as they have shown them
selves TO be personal enemies. and if
they will prove as anxious to serve
their party as they seem anxious to
