from the third district, also spoke brief
~ upcn the duties of every democrat.
urging that every voter do his or her
utmost to see that the full ticket is
elected in November.
II was decided that women We're to
be given a prominent place i'm the plans
as they have been very active in county
politics, and have learned lot about the
game since given the power of the bal
lot. with this in view it was decided 10
divide the work equally among both
sexes.

would know a good reason why.
A number of brief talks We're made
by other speakers, but the meeting de
veloped into a business proposition il
which conditions TO he met We're dis

tory.

sirables were either dead or had sought

came quiet and peaceful once more.
Ideas Changed
Ideas fostered by friend Bleakmore
regarding the Golden West had under.
gone a radical change about this period
His desires began to revert to the more
effete east where homicides were not
50 sudden or frequent. and where a
vigilante committee was unheard OF
and unnecessary.
With this idea in mind he embarked
for ST. Louis by freight wagon where
he worked at his trade for time and
finally landed i'm Fairfield where his
father had established paper. and
went to work, this time under paternal
guidance.
Shortly after beginning to work for
his father, he had longing TO see what
the territory lying east of the Missis.
sippi river looked like and before his
latest pilgrimage ceased landed in Hart
! ford, Conn. where he became affiliated
with the Typographical Union. and still
has his old credentials that proclaimed
him one Of the elect of the craft

this object in view he migrated TO Keos-

! After trying his hand at various ven.
/ lures fox several years he decided to
come TO the Indian Territory where
! his son. Willard. now attorney for the
/ Rock Island railroad. was then station.
ed as secretary to Judge Bdford and
landed in Ardmore 20 years ago. where
/ he has resided since. and although II
/ is nobody's business how old he is. he
is the youngest old gentleman that can
be found in these parts, albe; the ac.
tive life he has led.
Sees Town Grow
Since arriving in Ardmore Mr.. Bleak
more has seen the town grow from a
few wooden shacks to city of its pres
ent proportions, and had an active part
in bringing about this condition. He
has always been identified with the in
terests of the city and county. and has
exercised ar influence OF which he may
be justly proud.
Some time ago Mr.. Bleakmore and
his wife took a trip from the old Iowa
town to Denver. over practically the
same route he traversed as a youth
but he said .he scenery looked altogeth
er different from. the window o. q
Pullman. than it did from the peak oI
Il freight wagon. but when thcy an
rived in Denver he found many ole

DADDY" BLAKEMORE FOLLOWED THE
RAINBOW ACROSS CONTINENT WHILE
A PRINTER IN EARLY DAYS OF WEST

Omaha Bee. at Omaha. Neb.. and from
there to the Non-Pareil at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, where he was located when
the call Of the far west became too
strong for resistance.
On TO Denver
Denver. then struggling young min
ing town. made the strongest appeal to
his Imagination. but the question of
getting there was a far greater prob
lem than it is today with its many trunk
lines of railroads drawing from every
direction.
There were two methods OF getting OF
Denver in those days, one was to walk.
and the other was to take passage by
freight wagon. The latter appealed
strongly to the embryo printer, hut had
a serious draw back. the fare was
high. woefully high, which for time
seemed to put crimp in his aspira'
tions so after heart TO heart talk with
4 freighter. he was permitted to wor;;
his passage, that is, he was given a
long bun whip. and told to see how he
could make out propelling an OK team
across the open country from the pilot
house of prairie schooner
He took the whip in hand, and soon
landed in Denver tired, but full of pep
and began to look about for a sit -
which landed him at case in the com
posing room of the Rocky Mountain
News. the largest paper in the state at
the time and then as now. a powerful
factor in its territory. 1t was while
working ON the News. that Mr.. Bleak
more began to see things happen in the
new town.
Gold Fever High
The city was young, gold fever ran
high and the place was filled with "a!
element that was continually causing
trouble. saloons and gambling houses
were running wide OPEN killings and
robberies were frequent and startling
until conditions became so intolerabl'
that good citizens decided to take mat
ters into their own hands and the Wig
liant committee came into being.
