A LESSON FOR IDLERS

r. c. HANKS, OF Oklahoma City, is honest
workman.
He has been going about his daily tasks for
several years. Hanks is roofer. He has been well
pleased with his work. It's honest job, putting
good roofs on homes, Hanks argued. Pleased with
his work, his family and his home, Hanks spent
little time dreaming OF ever falling heir 10 fortune.
Yet all these years Hanks has been heir and
knew it, An estate worth S2000000O0 in the busi-
ness district OF Philadelphia in litigation. Last
week the litigation was ended. Hanks became heir
in actualfy to slice OF the estate amounting TO
Sl250000
Hanks was busy mailing shingles on roof when
his wife called him to tell him the news.
That's good news Hanks replied in spluttery
voice through mouhfu OF shngle nails. Good

PARTY HARMONY

THERE are indications that political slander and

back talk Character assassins already at work
in Carter county.
Let it stop
The democratic party has no place for The too
Jealous primary campaign worker. Each man who
has officially announced for governor is good man
with splendid record OF work accomplished back
OF him. Any OF the four men now openly running
will make an ideal candidate in the general election.
Let each visit the people of Oklahoma.
Permit each to present his claims for preferment.
Then let the people decide.
Unless this is done the primary system defeats
itself. Unless this is done the minority party has
always an advantage. Republicans are displaying
good campaign strategy at present. They are quietly
waiting for fight in the democratic party
Permit the voice OF the people to speak.
One OF the leading newspapers of the state is at
presen. carrying adroit campaign to eliminate
candidates. No specific charges are made but by
nnuendo germs OF party dscord are being sowed
This newspaper would do less harm to the dem
ocratic party il it openly supported its candidates
To attempt to limit field by insinuation in giving
too little credit to the ability OF the average man
to penetrate blind that is shot full OF holes
The people of Oklahoma should give each cand
date for public office in the democratic primary
prompt notice that each must run on his merits
and that will be given preferment who at
