thought out, no doubt by some pros
pective future candidate whose name
might begin with w or perhaps q,
and who did not relish, the idea OF be-
ing so far down the line in a large
field.
Now Ardmore has very distinguish
cd citizen whose name begins with
the letter &C" Of whom it is recorded
that he does not hate himself TO the
extent that he would decline TO accept
q seat III the halls OF congress.
In fact the chances are more than
likely that Judge Thomas w. has his
minds eye on the identical chair in
that historic hall that would fit his
peculiar style Of embonpoint, and were
the crown offered him in all probability
forget about the julius Caesar incident
and not even attempt to chuck it on
the other fellow.
Reference Is made to Hon. Thomas
w. Champion, at present judge OF this
judicial district, who is cutting quite
a trail in local politics, and who no
doubt could be prevailed upon to make
the race, If his friends showed suffi'
cient insistence and the field looked
propitious.
Wen, all this is in the future, but
time flies and the first thing known
there will be clamoring for these
seats in congress, because Oklahoma
has increased in population to the ex
tent that it will be entitled to two moro
representatives. and with the present
and ever growing crop Of politicians
near politicians, and mere dubs, in this
and other sections OF the state, and
most especially around the confines
of the great county Of Lee Hucdns
there will be no dearth Of available
timber, and as they will be chosen by
the people at large he has as good righ'
| to expect success as the other, FOL
where they are not known the voter
Is likely TO put the little cross in from
of the first name, that appears as was
done once before, but with proper ro
tation of names this will be as fail
for one ~ for the other.
When suggested TO the astute judge
this morning that he would fit nicel!
in one of those proposed jobs he wa!
thoughtful for few seconds but fin
ally seconded the motion and said h'
would look into the matter more full!
later, take it under advisement' so Il
speak.
