FIRST CHAIRMAN OF
State DEMOCRACY

Judge Jesse ]. Damn. formerly chief
Justice Of the supreme court, now re-
siding at Oakland Cal. has written
an interesting letter which has an
important bearing upon the political
situation in the Fifth Congressional
district. No man has ever resided in
Oklahoma who is more oonversant

democratic state than Judge Dunn,
Preceding statehood. the democratic
committees in Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory held what was known
as an "Amalgama,ion Meeting" at
Shawnee, Okla, TO plan the first
campaign. Judge Dunn was selected
chairman oi the state committee, and
the responsibility for democratic sue
cess in the first election fell on his
shoulders. The initial effort was the
election OF delegates 10 the CON
>,itutional convention. The repub.
lioanS had gcrrymandercd the sate
in such manner as 10 seriously
threaten democratic success. Judge
Dunn undertook the task and after a
strenuous campaign, succeeded IN
elcc,ing N OF the ll5 delegates.
which was the first proclamation that
Oklahoma was democratic state
Judge Dunn resided at Ava and
there had formed the acquahtanoe OF
Roy +. Stafford now a candidate for

Dunn was practicing law there. When
Judge Dunn assumed the position OF
state chairman, Mr.. Stafford was

Wildcats managed by L. A. Wilson.
In a letter to Manager Tolen of the
Saltwater team Manager Wilson stated
that the Wildcats would clean up the state
champions within the very shadow of the
prison walls.
The Wildcats are all ex-soldiers, Indians
and all-around athletes. Chief lie Roy is q
pitcher well known in this locality. Bot
we'll, Razor and Sammy Jordon are all To-
cal chiefs in the Mahnomen tribe. "Big
Injun'' vsmoos is their umpire. Nay-tah-
waush, Rain-in-the-face and H,t-em- on-the-
nose were also present. Team headed by
Joe Guyon and Leroy, both Indians.
The Wildcats proved a poor match fol
the Saltwater champions, losing the two
games to the score of 2-12, 3-22.

AT Break of Day

Out of dream of music tender
Fairy flutes to breathing low
! wake to see, with its growing splendor,
The opal heart of the morning glow.
The crystal sea of the air is flowing
And ebbing away on its silent shores;
The swallows ripple its GOODNESS, going
With the dipping of dusky wings for oars.
Webs of pearls on the meadow grasses,
White mists trailing along the stream,
Floating up to the mountain passes,
Vanishing slow, in golden gleam.
l catch the scent of the locusts dropping,
And the cinnamon roses, all aglow;
OF the tall red balm, where the bees are
stopping,
And the beds of the purple thyme below.
Out of the East the opal tender
Burns, and deepens, and steals away;
And, crowning the summer land with
splendor,
The sun comes in at the gates of day.

Peace

Were half the power that fills the world
with terror,
Were halt the wealth bestowed on camps
Given to redeem the human mind from
There were no need of arsenals or forts.
The warriors name would be a name ab-
horred;
And every nation that should lift again
Its hand againss brother. on its forehead
Would wear for evermore the curse OF
Cain!
Down the dark future through long gener-
ations,
The echoing sounds grow fainter and
then cease;
And like bell, with solemn, sweet vibra-
tions,
hear once more the voice of Christ say.
''Peace!''
Peace-and no longer from its brazen por-
tails
The blast of wars great organ shakes the
skies;
But, beautiful as songs of the immortals,
The holy melodies of love arise.
