SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
STRONG FOR JUDGE HAYES.

Barring the Anadarko American
no newspaper in the state is more out
spoken in advocacy OF Hayes for sen
ator than the Sulphur Post In re-
cent issue the Post said
Judge Hayes is a great, big, broad
guaged. broad minded mon. He Is a
man with whom to be acquainted is TO
love and respect He is far-reachIng
in his acquaintance among the legal
fraternity and, as the Post has said
before holds fast to those who are his
friends, and that is more than some
can boast who are seeking the same
office to which Judge Hayes aspires.
THE Sulphur Post desires, without
comforting with the judge, to state its
position unequivocally. The Post Is
for Judge Hayes, as against Senator
Gore. We hold to the opinion that
the latter has served his usefulness
10 this state-that he, in a very large
measure, has not only served out the
period of what could have been use
ful career but has also presumed that
the decent, respectable people of this
state are to stand for a recurrence
should he be returned to the senate.
ITO contemplate the return of Semi
tor Cor, is, to the editor Of the Sui
phur Post, a loss Of faith in the sur
vival OF the fittest. Senator Gore has
been an opportunist-n nothing more.
Gifted with a tongue equal to any
emergency, whether it be political
speech or funeral oration,, delying
always in the realms OF fancy, with
nothing practical in idea or thought
his career Is little less than a dream.
He once expressed himself to the ed
itor of the Post as biggest piece of
luck ever had, following his nomina-
tion for the senate
Several years ago we had occasion
to watch the work Of Justice Hayes.
1t was during the constructive period
OF this stateunder the grand old
Democratic principles OF rule by the
people. Justice Hayes is Cne of those
quiet, easy. honest men who build
construct, and that is why he is where
he is today. His career in this state,
while not so brass-bandish not told
from the house tops, has been Of value.
He Is, above all else, a statesman-a
man.
"And SO, when the matter of the
candidacy for United States senator
comes along. really, 1t is not surpris
ing that Justice Hayes should be se-
lected as a candidate worthy the steel
OF Senator Gore. If such a man as
Senator Gore is accredited with hav-
ing any steel.
Justice Hayes. the sulphur Post is
at your command"

In other words we have $4,000 raw
men to make sailors of before we can
mobilize our fleet.

rine which the German admiralty tells
us destroyed three British cruisers
with three successive torpedoes. We
might do something of the sort If we
had the torpedoes, but we have not
got them We only have about 1000
torpedoes, about one torpedo for each
