HE BLAMES PROHIBITION
YOUNG MAN FAILS TO DELIVER

len shut.
And all on account of the prohibi-
tion laws
At least that is the way the certain
young man explained it to the party
who informal the person who tr.d tho
writer.
The whole story goes something
like this:
On last Saturday night party of
young men were congregated about a
warm stove in Mt. Croghan, drinking
cheerless fizz-water and trying to feel
convivial. So far the evening had not
been success. There seemed TO be q
lack of enthusiasm.
Finally one of the bolder spirits
suggested that at little stimulation
would be good thing. Mis- motion
was seconded and unanimously adopt-
ed.
But where to secure the stmulant?
Now 1T must be said that these
young men were not sophisticated in
the art of acquiring "hootch" and so
far as they knew Mt. Croghan and it's
envirins were as dry as the great Am
erlcan desert. However, one of the
number remembered that a certain
young man, whose nose bore de-
clded rose tint and whose gait was
often unsteady, ought to know where
to locate a sightless pig, if such a
thing existed. Thereupon ensued q
search for the certain young man.
He was found.
He thought he could find half a
gallon jar of the stuff that cheers if
the crowd would dig up ten bucks.
Then ten was soon contributed and
the certain young man went forth to
exchange it for ''dew" and the bunch
went back to the fire to wait his re-
turn.
After several dreary hours of
watchful waiting the chairman of the
association decided that the certain
young man had fiimmed them out of
their ten. Thereupon each and every
member --of--the-part swore VEN
geance and the party broke up, each
one going his own separate way.
When one of the party had about
reached his home he heard some one
approaching out of the darkness.
singisg Justify and off key. Something
familiar in the tones caused him to
wait until the singer staggered into
view. In the singing, staggering in
dividual was recognized a certain
young man, now two hours overdue
with the half gallon of "skee."
"Hey, you, where is that stuff for
which we dug up that ten bucks?" i'm
patiently quoth the sober one.
Shorty, ole man, hic, but couldn't
get drop" answered the inebriated
one.
"Then come across with that ten
spot"
ohorTy again, ole sport, but loss
it, los it in the dark"
This was too much for the sober
one and he walloped the certain
young man on the jaw.
And they went to it.
The certain young man became
aroused and he seemed to have punch
and stamina despite his contents AS
the fracas waxed warm others collec-
ted, among them friends of both par
ties, and some of them rudely enter
ed the fight without being invited.
Finally pistol barked and belched

times.

SENATOR ROBERT |.
oHEN FOR PRESIDENT
DE1G0CnATS OF OKLAHOMA PRE-
sENT 4 "REAL AMERICAN"
FOR THE NOMINATION FOR
THE PRESIDENCY

Senator Robert L. Owen, Chero-
kee Indian. who has represented the
state of Oklahoma in the United
States senate ever since it's admission,
is presented by the Democratic
voters of his state as fitting candi-
date for president.
In 1913 Senator Owen was made
chairman of the committee on bank
ing and currency of the United States
senate. He was the master-builder
lof the Federal Reserve Act 1t was
due to his frwpess and progressive
vision that the Federal Reserve Act
was put under the direct control of
the government and not under the
control of the banks. It was dut to
him that the federal reserve notes
were made the notes oft he United
States, with the taxing power Of the
United States behind them, and not
merely notes Of the bank.
The whole world recognizes that
this measure contributed in gigan-
tic way to the winning Of the war. 1t
tenabled America to finance the world
war, made Democracy and civiliza-
tion victorious in the greatest crisis
In history. and opened an era OF
abounding prosperity for the United
States. The business men of the
United States realize that under this
act there Is stability of credit which
they never had before, and that ffnan-
cial panics are impossible in the
future. The principles of this act
were urged by Senator Owen In pub
lie articles in 1899. In 1908 he pre-
sented to the senate in a three-hour
speech the principles afterwards writ
ten into the Federal Reserve Act.
Snator Owen was born in Lynch
burg. Va, and was educated in vir-
ginia and Maryland, receiving the de-
gree OF Master Of Arts" and Doctor
of Laws" from Washington and Lee
University. From 1881 to 1884 he
directed the affairs of the Cherokee
schools (about four thousand pu-
|pils); from 1885 to 1889 he was
United States agent. with Jurisdiction
over the country Of the Five Civilized
Tribes. now Oklahoma. In 1890 he
established the First National Bank
|of Muskogee, was its president for 10
years. and Is now one of its directors.
He practiced law with notable sue
cess. He conducted a large cattle
ranch and farm for many years.
He is a progressive Democrat, with
great constructive genius, and has
always served actively In Democratic
campaigns. He organized the Demo-
cratic party in Indian territory in
1892. and was a member Of the DEM
ocratic national committee from 1892
Ito 1896.
In 1907 Mr.. Owen was elected to
the United States senate. He was re-
elected on November S, 1912, by q
plurality OF the national ticket by
about 5000 votes Thousands of
Progressive Republicans supported
Senator Owen then. and in 1918.
When elected senator in 1912 he re-
ceived the vote of every member of
both houses of the Oklahoma legisla-
ture. every member being present and
voting. He was reelected in 1918 by
a still larger plurality. with no active
Opposition.
