Editor World-ln a recent article
appearing in a daily paper IN which
that paper was trying to deliver
| some body bOlws In behalf of James
$. Davenport for election to con-
grcss from this district. II started by
saying that both Messrs. Davenport
and this far we heartily agree with
! him. But IL is quite Joke, and
causes a great deal of merrimcnt to
! the average Craig cOuntyite' to read
the rest OF the said article when II
asks such questions as Has not
! Davenport supported Wilson's admin
| istratiOn?" Gould "A Republican get
any legislation through that would be
| beneficial to the First district with
owen and Gore in the senator" To
the last question we will only answer
ii by asking question In return:
Would owen or Gore not favor legis-
lation that would help the First dis
trict IL il was put through the house
by "A Republican," Can't tell MS up
here that Senator owen is not our
friend and will sure help the First
district. for we most all, Republicans
and Democrats alike. look to Senator
owen when we want any favor from
the national capitol. But as both

just stand them side by each and look

onto Wilson's coattail
His Real Record
But let's look at Jim's long recort
! in congress as we see him here NJ
! home. From 1912 to 1914 we cant
| recall any legislation that Jim put
through for MS people up hcre-cX.
cept what distinguished Democrat
| from Tulsa told us about along the
latter part Of 1914, and that didn't
| exactly interest us, but he said Wilson
wanted To build n railroad in Alaska
and Jim didn't want to. Yes. and
we almost forgot some other things
Jim always gets for us Ninitans every
two years. Just before primaries. "A
federal building Now YOU people
living down there, If you read our pa
pers and Jim's kilograms would think
we have federal building on every
corncr-but not so. Just some of jim $
biennial mush to the home folks. So
along comes the 1914 congressional
election and Jim is again reelected
but my! Let's go back and look over
those figures, see what the home
folks did
Now, iot this down. Craig county is
normally Democratic by about five
hundred votes, and of the four pre-
I cincts in Ninita, every one H. Demo
cratic and we have some mighty fine
Democrats UP here. For instance.
Gore carried every precinct in Ninita
and Craig county. Cash, for reprcsen-
tativc. carried just like Gore; also
judge Davis, Attorney Noyles, Sheriff
Smartt, County Clerk Ritchic, County
Clerk Mcbride, County Treasurer
Roberts. Assessor Campbell, Surveyor
Ashbv Superintendent Smith, Couch
commissioner yes. and Mcssrs.
Bracket and Stanley pulled through
for justices of the peace and Messrs.
Woodall and Walker came right
through for constablcs-bu where
was our dear Jim, who worked so
hard fighting President Wilson's rail
road bill and doing nothing for his
home people? Just where he right
fully belonCcd-lost his home county
lost the First ward Of Ninita, lost
the Second ward (his home ward
right where he lives), lost the Third
ward, and the vote was n tie in the
Fourth ward.
That's what his home people think
Of him, and his record from 1912 to
1914. Almost forgot to say that his
