King Of Frederick and Porter New

them could defeat any member OF

represented by them in n democratic
primary for any office within the
gift OF the people OF this state.
II is unfortunate for any political
party to become infested with
officeholders who mistake them
selves for the party as a whole. That
has already been demonstrated in
Oklahoma and should not require
much further testimony.
This idea is not confined to any
one particular partisan subdivision
1t has brought ruin to many politi-
cal organizations before fh' torHldu

every section OF oklahoma,
but il is important that students

lines between party comprised OF
many thousands of people OF one
opinion as to methods Of government
and a close combination of office

Two years ago there was started

party OF the barnacles which had
secured control OF it's organization.
Those in office declared there is

A contest was held and the office
holders went to defeat by the brutal
majority Of t2S,0O0 on the road bond

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 26.---lt
is not often that the pleadinEs OF an
attorney for his client can be taken
as the principal political tonic of
the day for the majority party OF n
con- monwealth, but that happened
this week In oklahoma city. OF
course, the plcadiugs referred TO are
found in the Trapp impcach ment
case In the state senate. The at
torneys were defending the charges
made against the lieutenant COVER
nor, and in one statement to the
court related something which Is OF
more than passing interest, IN truth
1t reaches to the very bone OF the
ailment which has SO sadly afflicted
the democratic party Tor the past
two years, and there were signs Of
the malady even prior to that time.
The quotation which we choose
To call attention to was in the second
paragraph OF the petition To quaSh
the Indictment Of MI Trapp by the
house OF representatives and reads
as follows:
FOR the reason that he. as
governor, Is sub
stantial, representative and in
togral part Of the democratic
party
Whatever effect that may have
had in litigation is no longer a
matter OF concern for the reason
that IL has already been passed upon
by the highest court OF the state.
but Il IS of more than ordinary i'm
portance in a political letter which
is to real with tho politics OF the
day as written at the timo of
making.

ocratic machine in this state IL that
those driving II mistake themselves
for the democratic party as a whole,
II did appear MS II they would awake
after the earthquake which occurred

who still surmise that they are

It appear impossible Tor the party
