LOYALTY TO DEMOCRACY

Since the opening Of the presidcn-
tial campaign many newspapers Of
the north have taken occasion to llay
the southern states FOR their loyalty
TO the Democratic administration and
their demand FOR recognition as a
part Of this great commonwealth. But
this Is nothing new. Nor Is the south

TELLS SOM ETHIN 6 OF
THE NOVEMBER ELECTION
lBy Redynsl

The county campaign is beginning
to warm up considerably. Both the
Democratic and Republicans have es-
tablished headquarters in the ity and
tablished headquarters in the city and
between now and the ides of Novem-
ber
The Democrats have their head
quarters in the old federal courthouse.
202 West Main street, while the Re-
publicans have opened rooms in the
Simms-Pennington building a few doors
east.
Meetings of partsans of both parties
are of daily occurrence, and many
plans are discussed to be put into exc
cution during the time that will elapse
between now and the November cleo
tion.
John II. Carlock, at Democratic
headquarters, is busy lining up the
voters of the county. and has his
force pretty well organized He is
taking no chances, however. and is
keeping in close touch with affairs
in order that the entire strength of
the party will be polled on election
day.
J. II. Finley, in charge of Republi-
can headquarters, is also very active
in behalf Of his party, and council
meetings are conducted every day or
two in order that there may be no
mistake on November End.
That there is going to be a battle
of ballots in this county in Novem-
Der is conceded By everybody stand
ing on the side lines and watching
preparations now being carried on.
The Democratic party in this coun-
ty has always taken things easy after
the primary election, heretofore, but
such tactics this year would be dis
astrous.
The Republicans have been getting
more numerous, and have been quietly
working among the rank and file with
n hope of electing some Of the county
officers in the general election. They
have put out a very strong ticket
bearing the names Of some of tn"
county's most prosperous and pro-
gressive business men. and that tickle
is going To poll a lot Of votes
The election is but four weeks off
In that time n lot can transpire in
the game of politics, and learers on
both sides are preparing to take ad-
vantage Of every opportunity to adj
vance their cause, indications at pres
ent are to the effect that the biggest
vote ever poled in Carter county
will respond to /.e call when the
factions are lined up for the final
struggle on the first Tuesday in No
vember.
The Socialists are also active. but

SHOULD REFLECT WILL
OF PEOPLE

Many millions of men have sacri-
feed their lives that there may be
Democratic government upon the
earth. These sacrifices have been
made because Democratic govern
ment Is responsive to the will of the
people.
The presumption is, then. that what
ever government a community has is
a reflection OF the people of that COM
munity.
The important question for Ardmore
people to ask at this time, rs the
government which this city has, a
true reflection of the kind of govern
ment which this people desire and
require of their officials
No man or woman ia without re-
sponsibility for government. Not mere
" the government we have away off
at Washington but the government
we have right here at home.
A very large number Of people in
this city have asked that the matter
of a managerial form Of government
be submitted to the voters of the
city. Every man who is not controlled
by selfish reasons believe in rule of
the majority. The rule Of the major
ity is a principle upon which this
entire government is founded and II
seems to be bad part TO play to de-
prive the majority Of an opportunity
to rule. 1t does not seem TO be the
part OF good citizenship to attempt
by force or otherwise to prevent the
people from having the voice in gov
ernment that Is guaranteed under the
constitution and statutes Of the state.
In the present instance when the
mayor and commissioners have been
asked in the proper manner by the
best citizens OF the city to submit the
question Of the adoption of a change
in the form of government and they
have declined to do so there seems
to be but one thing left for the citi-
zens to do and that Is to appeal di-
rect to the source Of all power in a
Democratic government and that Is
10 the people themselves.
Personality should i not enter into
the question at ALL
Principle alone Is involved and the
matter Of the recall Of the mayor
and a portion Of the board should he
settled by principle and by no thought
Of personality.
If the people do not desire any
change in the form Of government
they can vote II down at the polls. II
they do desire n change they possess
the right 10 have that change.
Good citizenship stands for ma
jority rule and for responsive gov-
ernment and not for dlctators In Of
flee.

forecasters can see nothing 'o h'''
cate that the party has gained very
materially in strength in the county
in the past two years, although the
fact that a Socialist candidate ior
United States is a resident OF TINS
county may have a tendency to make
the party workers get out ana hustie
in order than none Of the brethren
remain away from the polls on cleo
tion day.
On the whole the local campaign
will develop some excitement, ana
the confidence of the Republicans that
they will elect some of the county
officers has had a tendency to make
Democrats leaders get up and hustle
