anti-socialist propaganda. He VIII
start a force of organizers in the
field for the league and next summer
will undertake to keep a score or more
of speakers into the field, sending
them into the remotest sections of the
state.
The league is TO extent its organiza-
tion to in ;lude every precinct in OK
lahoma, and besides compiling list
of the votes of Oklahoma, the politics
of each will be recorded. 1t is pro
posed to advance the campaign OF
1916 to the point where the campaign
committee can take it up and find
most of its work either already done
or organized to be done, lessening
the expense and adding to its efficien-
cy.
One extraordinary feature of the
league is its answering purpose to
keep out of personal politics. No in
dorsements are given any one for Of
fee Notwithstanding, many of the
young men prominent in its affairs,
have been rather successful in poll
tics. Kelly Brown, representative from
Carter county, was chairman of the
resolutions committee at the recent
convention Another Ardmore boy,
Ancel carp, is the governors eXecu-
tive clerk and has as wide an ac-
quaintanceship in politics as most any
man in Oklahoma. Ray o. Weems, re-
tiring president of the league, has
been chief clerk of the loan depart
ment of the school land commission
since statehood. c. ID. Louthan, of
Chickasha, chairman of the sixth dis
trict, is in the same department There
are in all 26 members of the legisla-

HERE FROM TEXAS
LOOKING FOR CRIMINAL

Harve Keith of Erath county, Tex,
was in the city yesterday looking for
the third party connected with the
torture and robbery of p. Z. Martin
and his sister near Dublin, in that
county, on the Goth day OF Deem
ber.
Three masked men entered the
home Of this aged couple and after
tying them, compelled them to give
up the money they had saved, which
amounted to $S,il5. The robbers di-
yided the money in the presence OF
the old couple, and after they had
finished. administered chloroform, with
the intention of causing their death.
They were foiled in their attempt, as
the old people revived and gave the
alarm.
Mr. Keith traced one of the men
to this city and turned the case over
to Chief of Police Booker and Sheriff
Garrett In a few days, Clem Blay =
lock, who has relatives in this county
was placed under arrest and con-
fessed the whole transaction to the
police He was taken back to Texas
by Mr.. Keith and the sheriff of Erath
county and is now in jail pending
the next term of court.
One of his accomplices was ap-
pretended and pleaded guilty to his
part in the crime He was given ten
years in the penitentiary, while the
other is still at large, but Mr.. keith
states that he is sure to be appre-
hended
Mr.. Keith is loud in his praise OF
Chief of Police Booker and Sherif
Garrett and their men and says that
had ii not been for them the thieves
would not have been apprehended
so soon after the act was com
mitted

DEMOCRATS
WILL FIGHT
SOCIALISTS
GEORGE LOURlE KELLER OlREC-
TOR OF STATE DEMOCRATIC
PRESS BUREAU WILL PUBLISH
PAPER AND SEND SPEAKERS.

Oklahoma City, Mar 1.-The Young
Mems League of Democratic Clubs
of Oklahoma, so far as known the
only statewide organization of its
kind in the United States, is on the
uui yive for its fight against socialism
The league recently held its annual
convention at Muskogee and there re-
solved to expose socialism and par
ticularly the Oklahoma brand of this
politico-creed,
There were coo delegates at the CON
vention, less than fourth being
more than 80 years old, and they
developed the husky lusty, screech-
ing enthusiasm that spells success for
whatever proposition receives its sup
port.
Allen Street, chairman of the Dem
ocratic central committee of Okla
homa county was elected president.
Street is representative of the most
modern type OF pOlltlclan, DelleNlnS
in high ideals and pure, straightout
democracy. He is not a candidate
for office, never has been and asserts
he never will. Streets presence in
politics is accounted for by reason
of his love of the game. He is a
staunch democrat and is unswerv-
ing in his allegiance to that party.
The bulk of the work in connection
with the fight on socialism has fallen
on the shoulders of George Lourie
Keller, of Oklahoma City, now di-
rector of the Democratic state press
bureau, maintained by the state com
mittee Keller was elected pub
licity manager for the league, an of

WAS FUNSTONS RIGHT BOWER
IN THE PHILIPPINES

Oilton, Okla, March 1.-Lieutenant
ELI Admire, of Oilton, editor-owner OF
the Oilton Gusher, is Spanish-Am-
erican veteran and served for long
time in the Philippines as General
Funston's chief of scouts. He was
with General Funston on many OF the
scouting trips that featured the fight
ing in the islands and ended with the
capture of Aguinaldo. The scouts
were composed of thirty men in ad-
dition to Admire as chief. They
were sharp-shooters and with the eX-
ception of one or two were western
boys. They were selected from six
or eight regiments, being recruited
by Admire who always had his eye
open for a crack shot who could take
the place of one of his scouts when
ever necessary.
During General Funston's scouting
campaigns in the Philippines, every
man lIOll Stltldl W pli'dl'
stand his guard, says Admire, and
General Funston never kicked when
he had to roll out of his blanket at
two o'clock in the morning for two
hours guard duty. 1t was always
General Funston's custom to find a
nice round boulder, about the size of
a bucket, and use it for a pillow; he
would sleep as soundly, says Admire,
as though at home in bed.
"If there's anything in the bravery
line that the little Kansan wouldn't
do. didn't find it out in the months
that | was with him as chief of the
scouts" declared Admire recently.
Admire, like Funston, is native
Kansan. At the outbreak of the
war with Spain he enlisted in Chicago
in the First Illinois volunteer regi.
ment and served in Cuba during the
Santiago campaign. Later he was
first lieutenant in the Thirtieth I'm
tied States Infantry and served in the

intimated that there was about $l5,-
600 easy money" for someone II
the contract went to the right party
The statement of the attorney gem
eral was to the effect that Perry
was not only attempting to secure
the vote of Goulding, but would make
the effort to secure the vote
of Stephen A. Douglas, an
other member of the commission.
He, too, was to receive some of the
money in case the firm represented
by Perry was favored with the con-
tract.
Several conferences were held in
the rooms of hotel in the city,
according to Freeling's statement,
and on each occasion Perry led the
way and at once turned his attention
to the capitol contract and the fact
that there was easy money" for
someone if the deal went through -
Dictagraph Was Installed
In the meantime, so the state will
contend, Perry had tried to get a
line on S. A. Douglas and after
several attempts gave it up as a bad
job and proceeded to reach him
through other sources.
Clarence b. Douglas, a brother OF
Stephen A. Douglas, VINO was then
in Texas, was brought into the case
when it was said the state would
prove that Perry had wired and tel
ephoned c. B. Douglas in San An
tonic to come to Oklahoma City.
In the meantime the conferences
with Goulding are supposed to have
continued, the commissioner acting
under the instructions of the attor-
ney generals office, to whom he had
stated the facts in the case Several
conferences were held and upon the
arrival of c. b. Douglas a PROPOSE
tion was made to him to have
his brother report favorably upon
the bid of Weathers. c. B. Douglas
then stated that if his brother knew
ne was interested in the matter il
would mean that the bid would re-
ceive no consideration whatever.
"Well, | am afraid to talk to him
myself" Perry is alleged to have
said. Every time | do he looks
as though he was about to hit me
in the face. can't reach him"
Another conference was then ar
ranged and dictagraph placed in
the room, detectives stationed nearby
and evidence secured which the
state says it will introduce in the
case

Madam, if your husband is like most
men, he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children.
Coughs and colds are the most COM

most likely to lead to serious dis

to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever
when it has a cold. If you will in

remedies that are recommended for
coughs and colds, you will find that
