A Fine Home

BY invitation, the editorial
family of the CHAMPION were
happy guests at dinner with Mr..
and Mrs. j. p. Kennemur Sun
day. Some one must have Civ
en- this kind couple tip that
we were fond Of good things,
for their table and side-boards
were loaded to their full capaci-
ty with the very best that the
market affords and prepared in
the most tempting and whole
some way. 1t was pleasant
occasion from beginning to end.
After dinner, we took stroll
over the outside property, and
was favorably impressed with
the good taste manifested in the
arrangement of everything and
the intelligent. careful care
shown in their keep.
The arrangement of the house.
with its broad and extended
poarches. and on which are most
conveniently located both well
and cistern, clearly show that all
was planned for comfort and
convenience.

of personal and political influence
all in vain.
This striking episode of the
Sixty-frst Congress clearly indi-
Gated to the floor and to the gal
leries that the young Senator
from Oklahoma must be recond-
ed with in the deliberations OF
the Sixty-second.
1t was the annunciation by a
brave young Democrat of the
new Democracy, which was Just
as new to that party as lnsur-
gency was to the Republican
party.
The after effects of Senator
Owens resolute stand on this oc-
casion have been most helpful to
the Democratic party. 1t left
the Republican Senate and the
Republican President in the at
titude of refusing TO admit two
great States, which they were
pledged by their platform to ad-
nit. and furnished strong
Democratic argument against
the breaking of faith with the
Nation on this issue.
The attitude of Senator Owen
had also much to do with the
subsequent protest that in the
last general election landed New
Mexico as a safely Democratic
State.
Since the closing day of the
Sixty-frst Senate. Robert l..
Owen has been reckoned one of
the strong men of the Upper
Chamber of the American Con-
gress. Since that day, he has
been a man to be considered in
every important public measure.
'Unfinching courage. resolute
will, ard a power of concentra-
ton that cannot be weakened are
the qualities that the young SEN
ator from Oklahoma brings to
the service of his party and his
country.
1T is perhaps not too much to
say that no Democratic Senator
has done more in a practical way
to promote and develope the
progressive creeds of his party
than Robert l.. Owen"
Farmers' champion. (Elgin, Okla.) 1912-1922, 1913-01-23

held the Senate in terror and
alarm.
Senator Owen was ostensibly
fighting for Arizona and the Ar
izona constitution. which was
progressive and vital in that it
contained the initiative, the ref
erendum and the recall. He
planted himself on two PROPOSE
tons. from which the entire
Senate failed to move him. First,
that the two great forces fighting
for supremacy in this Govern
ment were the forces of progress
and popular sovereignty. repre-
sented by the Arizona constitu-
ton. and the reactionary inhu-
'ences of business and ultra
conservatism, represented by
the friends of New Mexico. Up
on this ground, he felt that he
was justified in OBTAINING the
Senate to the last moment of
protest in behalf of the great
principle of government in which
he believed.
incidentally, but with perfect
frankness. Senator Owen declar-
ed that the Senate majority was
about to admit New Mexico be-
cause it would add two more Re-
publican Senators to the list; and
he refused to see Arizona ex-
cluded because its admission
would bring in two Democratic
Senators.
Planted upon these positions,
the young and fry Senator was
absolutely immovable to all the
influences that could be brought
to bear against him. Senators
were in terror over the fate of
individual bills. Other Senators
were alarmed over the fate of
certain important remnants of
the appropriation bills.
Grave and dignified Senators
swarmed like bees around the
desk of Owen of Oklahoma.
Senator Carter, of Montana,
came and pleaded, but the Okla
homan sternly shook his head
and went on. Lafe Young, of
Iowa, made a dramatic public
appeal, but in vain. Senator
Gore, Ovens colleague, came
and advised Owen to stand. Ba-
con came to protest, but to no
avail. Senator Stone was re-
fused; the Venerable and be-
loved Hernando Mooney made
the last personal appeal he has
ever to make in the Senate, but
The stern young Senator turned
from each of them and tranquil
ly continued his argument for
Arizona. The Vice-President of
the United States himself step
ped down from the chair and,
leaving Smoot in his place, went
over to plead with Owen to re-
linquish his position of advant-
age and give way to other bust
ness; but to even the Vice Pres
President the Oklahoman turned
a smiling face, but an absolutely
obdurate ear and went coolly on.
A messenger came from the
President of the United States.
then in the Marble Room of the
Capitol, offering that if Senator
Owen would come to the Presi-
dent, a sincere effort would be
made to reach an adjustment on
the Arizona matter: to which the
Oklahoman, with superb courte-
sy and frmness, replied: Pre-
sent my compliments to the Pres
ident and advise him that al
present ! am engaged in address
ing the Presidents of the United
States"
There was never so dramatic
a filibuster seen on the floor Of the
Senate, or one upon which was
leveled such wealth and power

Lawton. Oklahoma
SENATOR OWEN

Under the newly lnStalled Or-
egon plan. the joint session of
the Oklahoma Legislature went
through the formality OF re-
electing one Of the most able and
progressive Members of the
United States Senate, by a unan-
imous vote of both Democrats
and Republicans. Wednesday.
Senator Owen is pioneer
progressive Democrat Of the
most pronounced. level and long
headed type, and very largely
assisted in arousing the slumber-
ing progressive spirit of the
American people; and, in full
fellowship with Senator Gore
and Congressman Ferris, has
placed crown of homer and
wreath of glory upon the young,
progressive State of Oklahoma.
Senator Owen has irresistably
stood in the front ranks of the
titanic battle that is being fought
for the emancipation of the rank
and file of the American people
from the enthralldom of COM
mercial and political vampires of
the Nation.
AS proof of the greatness, no.
bility and heroic courage of Sen
ator Owen, it gives us much
pleasure to print a few extracts
from what such an able writer
as John Temple Graves had to
say of him following his great
battle in the Senate for the ad-
mission of Arizona along with
New Mexico, and in which he
sing,e-handed and alone, with
the exception Of the encourage
ment from Senator'S Gore, La
Fallette and Beverage, routed
them all, President Taft includ-
ed. Among other things, Mr..
Graves says:
The most striking and dra-
matte filibuster that the Ameri-
can Senate has known in twenty
years was recently made by Rob-
ert l.. Owen, Senator from Okla
homa. II was made on the last
day and up to the last hour of
the sixty-frst Senate.
Senator Owen held the floor
from thirty minutes after mid
night until ll:30 of that dramat-
ic morning in which the laggard
and quibling Senate sought ia
crowd into a single hour the de.
layed, il not neglected measures
of the session. The deliberate
body was in a fever of anxiety
and haste.

persons high up in political life will be
indicted. Mr.. Fowler will be called on

appointments with contractors and ac-
cepted contributions from them.
Mr.. Fowler came to New York city,
but after his counsel, District Attorney
Cunningham of Ulster county, had a
talk with Mr.. Whitman he returned to
Kingston. 1t is understood that Mr..
Fowler was told that he would have
his choice of answering to the indict-
ment against him OF of going to the
office of the district attorney to give
the information desired there.
Evidence already in the possession of
District Attorney Whitman indicates,
1t is said that Mr.. Fowler was sent
from the state Democratic headquar
ters to various points for the purpose
of interviewing persons believed to be
under obligations to aid the campaign
fund, but who failed to do so. 1t is
