The Barre A. c. baseball team made
its first appearance of the season at
Fort Ethan Allen yesterday, defeating
the cavalrymen in an exciting contest by
the score Of 10 9. The Barre team
was accompanied by large deputation
of rooters. The Barre team took the
lead in the start and in the fourth and
nth innings scored seven runs, which
won the game. The only occasion when
the soldier lads appeared dangerous was
in the ninth inning, when a combination
Of errors and three hits resulted in four
runs. Paul Seampini pitched for Barre
and held the cavslrymen 20 eight hits.
Moore started the twifaing for Fort
Ethan Allen. He was relieved in the
fifth by Sclinsman, a southpaw, whose
great speed kept the Barre team from
further scoring. One Of the features Of
the game vas a home run by Iomssi

Resolved. we urge first that the
voters Of Oklahoma who favor the
great constructive program to which
the Progressive party of the state
and the nation has pledged itself. to
pay no heed to the reports sent out
from Republican headquarters taat
numbers Of pfogressives have an
nounced that they would support
the stand-pat candidate.
Second. we urge upon the rank
and file of the voters of the Reppb-
lican party, that they recall that in
every place where primary was
held since 1912 the arch stand-pat-
ters have gained control Of the Re-
publican party until today in every
state in the Union such reactionary
bosses as Barnes. ePnrose. Cannon.
Watson, and Curtis, are absolutely
in control with their policy of rule or
ruiG
I'VE urge further upon the rank
and file of the Republican party that
they recall the great fight for pro-
gress which has been made by such
leaders as Roosevelt. johnson, Bev
eridge. Pinchot, Murdock, Allen. an6
Parker, and remember that vot,
for John P. Hickman is a vote to fur
ther the cause of the progress, while
a vote for the candidate selected by
the Jim Harris machine is a vote for
the return of the reactionary control,
and finally we urge that all the vot-
ers favorable to the success of the
Progressive principles be loyal to the
party and the man that advocates
those principles. to the end that out
OF the result Of the coming election
there may be builded greater pro-
gressive party that shall unite all
progressives to oppose and eliminate
the present democratic-republican BIZ
partisan machine from American poll
itics and bring power and admins
tration that shall really represent
the interests of the men, women. and
children of the nation"

WILLIAMS NO DEMAooGuE


The Dallas News of September II,
contained splendid article which
throwed many sidelights on the char
acter of Judge r. L. williams, Dem
ocratic candidate for governor of Ok
lahoma.
One of them bears on the earnest
ness with which he yrosecutes every
piece of work he enters into. The
News says ito some thousands he is
known as Our Bob endearing title
that carries its own explanation. To
other thousands he is probably re-
garded as sort of human icicle. To
some of the citizenry of Oklahoma
he is known as good lawyer. fair
judge and capable business man.
An enthusiastic biographer of the
Democratic nominee for Governor
The third governor of the Imperial
of the State of Oklahoma. has writ
ten 1t down that the faults of the
man-all me nahve some faults when
analyzed--would commend him to the
place.
The Chronicler proceeds: Judge
Williams is lacking in some of the
accomplishments of the typical sue
cessful politician. His gruffness to
his friends is badge of sincereity
but by strangers it is frequently mis-
understood. Stories are legion of
how, during the recent campaign,
Judge Williams, by reason of this
fact. frequently lost votes, but there
were possible other causes of oppo-
site effect"
An incident is related of an influ-
entil politician who received hurry
up greeting and scanty courtesy
when he was introduced to Judge
williams. "I went away mad"
said the leader, when relating the
incident later, "but when got to
thinking it over, became convinced
that from the very way Williams had
treated me he was no demagogue.
then concluded that perhaps he was
a very busy man and in dead ear
nest This analet:cal member Of the
party became one of the most loya
supporters of the Durant man.

Durant's City Council is to be com
mended for its action in passing the
batch of ordinances recommended by
the Oklahoma Inspection Bureau for
the lessening of the fire risks in the
city limits. and thus bringing about
a lower fire insurance rate. 1t Is
true that the insurance rates are too
high in Durant and that the risks are
correspondingly bad. The insurance
companies are not to blame for the
carelessness of fire hazards. AS a
matter of fact the lower risk and the
lower the rate. the more eager the
insurance companies are for the busi-
ness,

MOOSE WILL NOT SUPPORT MIR
FIELDS.


Someone has pointed out that when
the lion and the lamb lie down to-
gether the lamb is on the inside.
This appears to be the Republican
idea of bringing about a state of
events. whereby the elephant and the
Moose will peacefully lie together,
but up to date the Moose has been
somewhat wiley and refuses to share
the couch of the elephant, although
It has repeatedly been announced
from Republican orators that the
Progressives would support John
Fields.
At meeting of the Hickman for
Governor Club. in Oklahoma City,
last Tuesday night which was largely
attended by representative progress
ives, the following resolutions were
adopted:--
Whereas, by repeated misrepre-
sentation, the reactionaries who are
in control of the Republican party in
Oklahoma have attempted to create
the impression that numerous Pro
gressiyes are supporting John Fields
and,
Whereas, 1t is inconceivable tt

any voter who believes in the grea
principles set forth in the Nationa
and state Progressive platforms coul'
for moment consider supporting

lutely shown himself to be absolutel
opposed to the principles as Field
has, and further.
Whereas. we believe that the RAM
and file Of those voters who retail
their allegiance TO the Republical
party in this state, do so throug
the misunderstanding of the real co
ditions that exists.

Some section of this county will
raise practically no cotton this year.
The reasons given are that the heavy
spring rains delayed planning and
gave the cotton late start. Cotton
has been considered the only sure
crop in this part of Oklahoma, but a

vince the "cotton believer" that all

The overwhelming success of those
favoring the additional school tax,
at the special election held last Fri
day is a triumph for progressive gov
ernment and for the public school sys
tenn of Oklahoma. 1t is an estab-
lished fact that Durant's Public
Schools are conducted at a lower ex-
pense per pupil than any other of
the first class in Oklahoma. Most
of the opposition to the extra tax
sifted down, is seen to be for per
sonal reason. The public schools
are the most important branch of the
government, for there is nodded the
character of the coming generation.
