DRYAN is the stepfather OF Pro-
- hibition. and it seems strange
that he should refuse a plum just
when he has the persimmon in his
grasp.
DUT what is a nomination to a
man who hops from nomination
TO nomination like an egg-shaped
cue ball on a country billiard table?
DILL has his trophy room clogged
- with antlers of nominations
which he gunned during the good
old days when Democrats roamed
the office prairies in countless herds
and nominations were passed from
mitt to mitt like rain checks after
the fifth inning.
WHY should n man who has been
w voted against by the best peo-
pIe in the restricted suburbs ac-
cept a nomination which phoneti-
caIIy spells sure defeat? That
would be no novelty to Jennings.
DILL is acclimated to defeat. But
u he likes 1t with a slow fuse.
TIE doesn't mind being in the old
II sack, provided they only sew up
the top and leave the bottom open.
The old frontier blockhouses had
loopholes in 'em for shooting. but
political blockhouses use the loop
holes for exits.
THOUGH he can spot rain
~ bow in n glass OF pump Juice,
whore another guy can only pipe a
germ, although he uses grape where
another yam demands canister, al
though he gets bright and shiny on
the stuff that rusts and corrodes,
Bill sees no nutrition in the Prohi-
bition nomination.
A GUY can give away something
~ he hasn't got, but the bird who
receives IL won't get II. That's
tough to figure out, but II means
that Bill knew any Prohibition
nomination was like a plus check
drawn on a minus balance.

JOHN CARLOCK j RGES
RIGID D R RGANIzAT THO \
OF DEMOCRATIC PA RT Y

What q county organization will ac-
compish during campaign is shown
by figures compiled by John Carock,
president Of the Carter County Dem
ocratic club on the recent election.
With an organization that was far
from perfect. Mr.. Carlock states, the
Democratic plurality in the county fig
ures were close TO $500 votes in some
contests, with an average of 2,+00.
which shows that the voting strength
Of ,the county was pretty well repre-
ented. Heretofore the Democratic plur-
ality in the county has been small,
in most cases little mo.e than 1000
Democratic votes being east in the
general election, with the Republi--
cans casting about COO and the So
cialists about ZOO
Mr.. Carlock is for maintaining a
rigid organization in Carter county
at all times, and To that end some
of the party leaders will he asked TO
meet within the near future to pre-
pare for the election two years hence,
Within two years Oklahoma Will
elect governor, and II is certain that
the Republicans will make q hard
fight to capture the state at that
time. hence the necessity for u close
organization.

MADDEN SAYS
HARDING MAN
Stands for Sane, Conserva-
tive American Progress,
He Declares.

The ideal public servant is typified
in Senator Warren G. Harding. Re-
publican nominee for the Presidency.
according. to Representative Martin
B. Madden, of Illinois, who issued a
statement to day indorsing unquali-
tiedly the choice of the party.
The nations most important
need" said Madden, lis a sane, con-
servatiVe, economical, constructive
American program for the conduct
of its affairs. We have reached a
period when all the wisdom we pos
sess should be massed to put the ma
tion on a stable basis. The post
war problems are pressing and i'm
portant. Their manner of settlement
will mean prosperity and happiness
or want and misery to our people.
Patriotism was never more essential
than at this hour. Public men
should strive to learn the needs OF
our people and thus fit themselves
to serve them more adequately.
Public Office is the medium
through which service to the people
is possible not the only medium,
but the most direct and effective.
No man should seek public Office
who is not willing to devote himself
whole -heartedly and unselfishIy u
the public veal. He should have
no interest but that of the pub
lie; he should be prepared to make
sacrifice to promote the public well
fare; he should by his devotion TO
the peoples cause endeayor to earn
their confidence and thus fit himself
the better to serve them. i am happy
to say that no man in public life has
appealed more to my ideal of a pub
lie servant than Senator Warren G.
Harding.
