The result of the assembly
must have been very gratifying
to the party leaders to see the
splendid harmony spirit that pre-
vailed.
The only thing to in anyway
mar the occasion was an attempt
to put a minority report of the
resolutions committee endorsing
the state administration over
the majority report which only
commended the National admin
istration. For a time things
looked like q general scrap might
ensue, but . motion to lay both
resolutions on the table and en-
derse the speech made by ex-
Governor Alva Adams as the
party sentiment averted any
further strife. Full details of
the convention will be given by
the Western Newspaper Union
on another page of this paper.

WANTED THIRTY
DAYS In JAIL

Asserting in no uncertain tones that
nothing but thirty days" would do
him any good, is given as the reason
for the arrest of Choc Hampton, on
charge OF disturbing public worship
near Bradley, and his subsequent land
ing in the county Jail.
He was brought here by George Rey-
nolds, deputy sheriff of Bradley, and
viii answer to the charge in a prelim-
mary hearing before the justice of the
peace of Bradley within the next few
days.
According to the story that trailed
Hampton to Chickasha, when arrested
he was slightly under the influence of
a spirituous liquor, whether mule" or
plain squirrel was not stated. At
any rate, negotiations are said to have
been started for the making of bond
for him on the spot, but these offers
of aid were spurned by the accused.
He stated in large and emphatic tones
that nothing but thirty days in jail
would do him any good"
Once landed in Chickasha and given
sight of the Hotel de Bastile, he
changed his mind regarding the pre-
scription that would alone aid him, and
speedily decided that more fresh all
and exercise would result in greater
benefit. He suggested the same to the
sheriff's force and jailer, but there be
ing no one present or Immediately
available who would go on his bond
The former desire of thirty days" was
granted. At least he was entered ol
the register and given room in tn,
Jail until such time as his trial will
be heard at Bradley

Dr. Winship told of dining with State
Supt. Wilson and party of Oklahoma
educators few days ago and hearing
Mr.. Wilson tell of his plan for the
coming years. He enthused over the
outlook for education in Oklahoma and
commended the progressive ideas Of
the man at the head of the states edu-
cational system.
Discussing his fourth point, "Be a
good loser" the speaker said in part:
Anybody who tells you that he always
wins is crook. 1t is SO easy for a
new state like this to become soured
on the world. There is no future for
Oklahoma among the states of the
Union if her people permit themselves
to become soured and grouchy. There
is great danger that you will not lose
gracefully and you know that you must
lose at times. You can't always win.
GAS a young man ] followed the po-
litical fortunes of James G. Blaine. He
was my ideal and | grieved when he
was defeated for president, hut few
months later when Blaine had become
soured at his party and his country
because of defeat, my idol was shat
tered. / am old enough to have known

who was soured by defeat. also knew

into his grave by the bitterness of de-
feat. | know another man for whom

dent three tins, but he has never
soured on anybody. That's my idea of

"Great things are coming in Ameri-

glorious things. l want your state to
take them and accept them. You won't
get all the good things, but be good
losers and be ready to seize the next
good thing"

sixteen picking her way through the
piles of dead and wounded. She had
brought milk and wine to relieve our
thirst.

farm nearby, just out of the line of
fire, and she had risked her life in
