adept In the W1les or men, he is
doubly fitted for the office he seeks.
The county judge must be more than
a lawyer He must know men, be
good business man and must al
ways be able to judge the motives
as well as the law. The county
Judge looks after the estates of the
minors and incompetent guardians,
and others whose ghoulish souls
would delight to leave them bereft
of every inheritance.
Paullin knows enough Of business
to be able to checkmate any such ef-
forts.
He is honest and he is capable.
In his work as editor of Durant's
principal newspaper he has helped as
possibly no other man in the early
stages of Bryan county's develop
ment. to make it blossom, and living
conditions better.
Many questions came up that call
ed for decision; many came up that
to decide for the general public good
would mean a personal loss to him
but Paullin never faltered. Always
he was found on the side of the peo-
pie. In a modest letter he states:
II was never able to look upon q

Honor to Whom Honor is Due

1t is said that republics, often, are
ungrateful; that in establishing the
governments among men, those who
have done most for the people are
least remembered by them. In his
tory this is true in large measure.
The man who did most for his coun-
try in the early days, next to Wash
ington and Benz. Franklin. was
he ever rightly rewarded?
Henry watterson was great aid
to the South in the hour of deepest
distress. Did he get the reward
due him?
Was Henry w. Grady honored as
he deserved?
Today, the greatest living Demo
crat, the man who has done more
for the people of the United States
and whose wise policies have been
more nearly adopted, is holding prac-
tically an obscure position. William
]. Bryan, thrice nominated, always
loved, but never elected president:
to him the country owes the presi-
dency, has he got It? No, but he lives
in the hearts of his countrymen as
no man since Washington has lived
In the history of states the men
who have builded are not the men
who have enjoyed. Think of the
pioneers of Texas, Arkansas and Ok

Democracy and was a potent factor
in driving from the state the horde
of carpet baggers who sapped the
life blood from the people. He thun-
dered Democracy In almost every is
sue, and as a result OF his and the
efforts of other newspapers, we have
the splendid Democratic State Of
Oklahoma and the banner Democrat
ic county of Bryan. While he was
doing this others were sulking In
their tents afraid to venture forth,
waiting to see which way things
would go. In Democracy's hour Of
distress he failed It not. Shall DEM
ocrats fail him now in Paullin's hour
of need? N
Will the county elect man whose
public services have been valuable?
Will you remember a man who has
worked for the upbuilding of the
county? Will you vote for a man
whose private life is above reproach
and whose life is an open bookN
whose qualifications are ample, and
whose claims upon you are unde-
niable?
The Caddo Herald says of him !:
Lewis Paullin announces this
week for county judge of Bryan
county, subject 10 the Democratic
primary. August 4th, next.
"At the beginning of statehood Mr..
Paullin made the race but was de-
feated, there being four gentlemen

for two wears afterward, he was ed

been admitted TO the bar of Bryan
county.
"He came from Texas, where, in
the early days he -practiced law and
ranching, both successfully. He
came to Durant in 1898 and has de-
voted his energies to the building up
of the new state of Oklahoma. Since
retiring from the newspaper game
he ha sheen farming on his place
near Durant, where he is putting in
Ito practice the theories often taught
through his newspaper. that scien-
tific and diversified farming lis a
farmers salvation.
"He has neither been downcast
nor discouraged by defeat and dis
appointment, but comes smiling
and ready to continue to do his best
for the upbuilding of Bryan county.
Twelve years did Mr. Paullin
serve the pcOple OF lnlS county as
editor of the principal paper of Du-
rant: twelve years did he rejoice In
his success OF his people and twelve
years did he encourage them In the
days of gloom; but his work will
stand for all time because he builded
!, on a sure foundation, not for him-
self but for the great public good.
He has not profited financially by
HIS labors but who can say that Bry-
an is not better county by HIS hav-

was an enterprise proposed for the
upbuilding of the town and county
that he did not aid both by money
and his influence. Day In and day
out he boosted for his people. Few
people ever serve a community as
he serves his----and through II all he

nothing but that he be allowed ia
