Hughes Branded Traitor
The editor of the Western
World was the only one who ad-
vised against the nomination OF
Hughes. aud was the only one
who expressed doubt of his hav-
ing sold out. and thus having
turned traitor to his town and
people.
But it was no use. His best
friends we're the loudest in de-
nouncing him as q traitor, and
when he arrived in Boston, we
believed few weeks after the
Legislature adjourned, he found
his good friends either cold or
hostile In their attitude, and him
self consequently su ddenly
friendless.
That wasn't all he found when
he got back to Boston. He had

tors and indirectly responsible
for it, and of cou rse in this Hughes
shared the general conviction.
The charge made against Hughes
was that he had sold out to
Springfield. accepting Springfield
money and property. the latter
consisting presumably Of several
Springfield blocks.
As we saw 1t, however, Spring
fisld had no more money than
was necessary to finance their
fight, and II all the vacant lots in
town we're given to Hughes it
would pc q small thing compared
to his interests in Boston.
A Possible Sequel ,a
To the Change in the Bill
As stated before, q rr a n g e.
ments had been made with
the ramroders at Trinidad for tae
nomination of Hughes. Whether
that included a promise to stand
by Boston in the legislature also
We do not know, but that would
have been a natural part OF the
understanding.
It was one balmy day sometime
after the convention that Trini-
dad, on a visit of Hughes and
Jennings to the town, thought it
would be doing the magnanimous
thing to give Hug hes thefreedom
of the city, and so they did.
We do not know what it was
that gave rise to the suspicion,
but some way or some how Hughes
got it into his noRgin that the
powers were going 10 go back on
him.
However, We suppose we do
know what it was. When q man
gets around a certain amount OF
red-eye, he is primed for q good
quantity of overpowering suspi-
ciens. whether there is any basis
for them or not.
Anyway, Hughes got around
both the booze and the suspicion,
and then made use of the city's
freedom by going up and down
the streets of the generous town
and cussing the powers" to all
that was good and bad, declaring
among other things that he was
"going hell bent for the legisla.

After having given him the
freedom of the city, the ramrod-
ers could do nothing but look ON
with chae rim at the use he was

The Ardmoreite calls special at
tention TO the candidacy Of Rob-
ert F. Scivally OF this city, who
seeks the Democratic nomination
for president OF the State Board OF
Agriculture.
Attention is not directed to Mr.
Scnally merely because he is a
home man, for he is too big a man
to belong to onl yone section OF
Oklahoma, but because he is known
to belong to only one section OF
people of this state an ideal ad-
ministration in this important Of
flee.
He is a man who has never been
contented to walk in old paths but
has blazed out new roads OF bet
ter travel. His life began IN the
most humble way, as an orphan
boy hired to others to do farm
work. He advanced from this
place at the meager salary OF SZ.oO
week to the ownership OF a
magnificent valley farm fringed
with many acres OF mountain lands
where he raises thoroughbred Here
ford cattle.
When statehood came to Indian
Territory and Mr.. Scivally was plac-
ed at the head of affairs in Carter
county he was not content to DRIFT
along but he blazed new path
that was approved by Governor
Haskell and the way was paved tor
every county in the Indian Ter
ritory side OF the state TO obtain
funds TO maintain courts that i'm
mediately stamped out the wave OF
crime that followed new conditions.
Those were days when men sought
to even up old scores and the law
people of Oklahoma owe
debt OF everlasting gratitude to the
of Mr.. Scivally in those
trying times.
Indian Territory produced some
of the best citizens who ever made
their homes in any state of the
Union. They were reared when
the courts were hundreds of miles
away, they lived where honor in
business deals was enthroned and
he courts were never restorted to
Tor the purpose of settling disputes.
Those were times when reason and
good fellowship reigned and every
citizen was man among men and
he oldest in the community sat as
/, board of arbitration to settle all
disputes in an amicable manner for
he neighbors. Wilful wrongs and
Efforts to cheat and swindle were
punished in those days by ostra-
ism from business circles and by |
means more severe when necessary.
1t was from this splendid citizen
ship, which is still the bulwafk OF
Eastern Oklahoma, that Mr.. Sew |
ally sprung. His heart beats in uni
son with every noble sentiment OF
he people and his happiest day is
hat which brings to him the wild
EST opportunity to be useful to 9th
,rs.
Always interested in the youth of
he country and their activities, he
provided schools for his commun-
ty before statehood and since that
lime he has been active in bringing
about the best educational advan-
ages for the young men and wom-
IN of the country.
Oklahoma people can we'll eftord
