BUD YOUNG IS
GOING To TIKI:
LEGISLATURE
so SAYS A NUMBER OF HIS
FRIENDS AND HE HAS ABOUT
DECIDED THAT HE WILL EN-.
TER THE RACE

1t will not be many months now
before the voice of the candidate
will be heard throughout the land,
and the usual scramble for party
preference at the primaries will be
on in real earnest, to the delight of
the innocent bystander, and the con
sternation of the residents of the
rural districts who will have to bear
the brunt of the burden of the cam
paign,
Among the other candidates who
VIII flock to the tall grass, will be
one for representative from this coun-
ty to succeed Kelly Brown, who has
moved to Muskogee. and to those who
have had their ear close to the
ground 1t is plain who that candidate
win be.
1t is none other than our friend
the county commissioner from the
First district, - G. w. (Bud) Young,
and believe us, when he starts he
is some campaigner. Mr. Young
has not made a definite announce
ment of his intentions, but he has
been petitioned by number of his
friends to make the race, and he has
about decided to comply with their
wishes, Shy his hat into the ring"
and mix it with the boys.
Uncle Bud" is not unused to the
game of politics. He has been at
it all of his life, and the thirty-nine
years he has resided in this section of
the state, has witnessed him in many
a warm debate in Indian legislation,
where he served as a senator in the
fndian Legislature for six years.
He introduced many good measures
and was always fighting for the best
interests of the people. He was slow
vinced he was in the right, the op-
position might as well give in, or
he would take the floor and talk him
into state of "innocuous deseu-
tude"
Uncle Bud" Is serving his second |
term as county commissioner from
the First district, and has proven
himself a most efficient officer. He
says he may not be able to use the
most flowery speech on record, but
his store of horse sense makes up
for what he lacks in the way of ora
tory. He was to thoroughly guard |
the interests of the people, and moth
ing can be slipped over on him when
in session with the Board of County !
Commissioners. He was born in
Kentucky-how long ago he says does
not matter. He has been a resident
Of this portion of the state for thirty
nine years, and his friends and neigh
Dors attest to the many good deeds
he has performed for those who
we're not able to care for themselves.
He not only built school houses IN
which to educate the children OF the
but paid the teachers out
If his own pocket, and in more than
,ne instance has furnished the means
or family to make a start in the
world. His many friends would be
glad TO have him as their representa-
i've. They could rest assured OF
me thing: Their interests would be
ooked after in the halls of the leg
stature Of the state.
Perhaps there will be other can
idates for this position, but if there
re others, 1t will only add zest to
he battle, and whoever enters against
his old Tar-horse will realize, be- ,
ore the race is over, that there has Z
een some campaigning going on in r
'arter county. n
Since emigrating to this country,
Ir. Young has accumulated some fine
arm and ranch lands. He has proven
imself a good business man in the
Management of his own affairs, and is 4,
IMPLY qualified to look after the al
airs OF Carter county in the halls ,
( the legislature, should he decide =
} make the race, and should he be
10 choice of the people.
