which met here today to nominate

Declaring that President Wilson
is the most astute leader the Demo-
cratic party ever had, United States
Senator Harry s. New of Indiana,
addressing the convention as pernia-
nent chairman. asserted that Mr..
Wilson also is "the most uncompro-
missing in his partisanship of any
man who has occupied the White
House since the days of Andrew
Jackson" Senator New Continued:
president Wilson is a partisan in
everything he does or thinks-as
adroit as he is persistent. 1t is evil
dent that the slogan of his party in
the campaign before us is to be
stand by the president and the at
tending argument that if one is
patriot and a true American, he must
elect the candidates of the presi-
dents party for seats in congress in
order that he may have support in
that body; or that if one fails to
support those candidates, he votes
to discredit the president and his
administration and gives aid and
comfort to our enemy in arms.

ABOLISH FLOUR CARDS
At OKLAHOMA CITY
PEOPLE OF CAPITAL AND
THE COUNTY PRAISED
FOR PATRIOTISM.

Oklahoma City, May 29.-Flou
cards have been abolished in Okla
homa County. The following mes
sage from c. II. Russell count,
food administrator, to grocers ant
other food sellers in this city anC
county, tells its own story that peo
pie in this county are SO patriotic
and recognize conservation, particu.
larly of wheat and wheat products
as one of the potent ways in which
stay at homes can help America win
the war, that the checking up by
means of -four cards is unnecessary
Tex of Message.
Flour cards were not necessary
after yesterday.
The message grocers received
from Russell yesterday reads:
THE -four cards have been such
decided success in letting every
citizen of Oklahoma County know
the need of wheat conservation and
the response by the people has been
so generous. that conservation has
reached such a high point of eff
cheney that the county food admin
istrator deems it unnecessary to
continue the use of -four cards.
The merchants have generally
shown such patriotic cooperation
that they may be depended upon to
carefully follow the plan of selling
not more than six pounds per capita
to any consumer.
They should use discretion and
avoid making sales to strangers
without investigation and thus avoid
the possibility of a customer going
from store to store to gather a
surplus.
Such merchants as are willing to
watch the matter carefully need not
keep record OF sales of -four, bread
or any wheat product, and need not
punch cards. Would ask that you
take up all cards and when you have
a quantity mail them to our office.
Remember that the need for conser-
vation still exists. even though the
cards are discontinued.
The county food administration
desires to express appreciation for
he splendid cooperation OF the
in making this plan a
success"
All the machinery, data and cards
themselves, as we'll as the thousands
If applicants names, will be care
ully preserved and put away be-
,ause Russell says he has no doubt
,ut what there will be another de-
nand for the card system, which
las been more successful than Rus
ell anticipated, sometime within a
'ear.
