Chilled Some Campaigncrs.

The sensational governmental and
political affairs chilled much of the
campaign work done by those who
have pioneered out in the country.
Mark Louthan and A. S. j. Shaw
have been active, both seeking
the democratic nomination for state
treasurer. So far the two known
candidates for attorncy-general
George Short and Edwin Dabney,
are none too active, although Short
was pitched into the attorney-gen-
erals office at a time when he has
little time to think OF more than the
one big general topic.
4 few minor lights -- minor be-
cause of the fact that they have not
hitherto been considered as actual
aspirants, are showing occasionall"
at the capitol building and eau
tiously inquiring how 20 plunge into
the game for good or for evil.
Republican editors are demanding
little more activity, Editor Golobie
OF the Guthrie State Register and
also a state senator, at least sug-
gesting that the choir should sing
occasionally and there is an east
side meeting called for Muskogee,
but where all republicans will be
welcomed, according to the call sent
out.

Now tho atmosphere II dnnk with alarm;

Nothing Is good Public men, splendid clu-
zons who have given their best to Tulsa's growth

hands from the wheel unwilling to hazard tho
danger of blacksuardlsm and assault upon their

Not thus did Tulsa In the past accomplish any

One Lighted Standing.

out of the mass OF wild stories
coming from Okmulgee. one official
lighted on his feet--swearing a little
too much. but still on the go. County
Attorney James Hepburn. repub-
lican. was the central figure and has
naturally received very favorable
comment for his unwavering deter
mination TO have the inquisitorial
body follow the law to the end. Some
of the east side newspapers speak Of
him as new man, whereas he was
an early day attorney at Guthrie,
being a former attorney in Logan
county. Hepburn is a man of ex-
ceptional courage. and in the capital
city republicans, many who knew
him at Guthrie. are whispering that
he would make a gubernatorial can
didate at this particular time; al
though, unless he has changed his
ideas of life in the past few years,
he is not really man who enjoys
public office.
However. the very commendatory
notice given to the sturdy actor In a
drama of our public life Will at least
be pleasing TO a man who has al
ways had TO fight his own way up
the road.

public issue will bo over making the
law or its total abolishment. In
name 1t is a democratic child - the
first law OF importance written by
the first state legislature, was really
drafted by Governor Haskell at the
request OF william Jennings Bryan.
Quite naturally the democratic or
ganizatio will defend the theory Of
law real or its total abolishment. In
in the statement of the four avowed
democratic candidates for governor,
in their order OF announcement,
Thomas II. owen, Robert II. Wilson,
Il. h. Howard and Hubert l.. Bclen.
And while at this moment public
criticism calls heavily on the gov
ernor over the work OF his bank
commissioner and the superior judge
whom he also appointed, 1t is more
likely that the two great parties of
the state will come into more actual
controversy over the existence of the
law itself. even in any form.
In the final analysis. II there has
been crooked OF inefficient admin
istratiCu of the law. necessarily
those responsible must bear that
burden. but that will not destroy
the fact that the democratic party
as such must stand for the law its
leaders have stood for with cour-
age at times--some OF them just as
trying. and one OF them also calling
for the dissolution OF grand Jury.

Barometer of Public OpiniOn
Hepburn the Key.

Editor World / have Just read your editorial
In Tho World of today in which you say. What
the Jim Hepburn type--a man willing to in
stantly stand for honesty and decency regardless
OF the Consequences
am impressed with the force Of the state
mcnt and believe that Mr.. Hepburn would be
the key to the situation. Mr. Hepburn is able
honest and courageous. His nomination for
governor on the republican ticket would be
solution similar to the nomination of Senator
Harreld in 1880 for senator, II would not be
n factional victory for any bunch OF public men
in the state. Mr., Hepburn would pre-eminently
be candidate that fits the issues and the de-
mRnds OF the people of this state.
| am not q politician. l have a good busi-
mess and am happy and contented. and yet, /
am very much Interested to see q governor in
viii find II necessary to apologize for, either at
homo or abroad
Whatever may now happen at Okmulgee, Mr..
Hepburn has so completely, by his position and
work, clarified the political atmosphere that
the issues can not be muddled.
II appears to me that II is very important
that the republican party nominate man for
governor that stands for common decenoy, for
real progressive principles, who believes In the
present and looks into the future with an ever
growing confidence in the triumphs and vic
tories of the peoples interests. There Is ques-
tlon as 10 where tho people stand. They are
ready to support man who talks like Mr. Hep
burn and man who acts like Mr.. Hepburn. He
fits the condition that now exists; he comes up
to the standard required by the forward look
ing men and women OF the nation. He would
lead the republican party In tho state OF Okla
homa to glorious victory
by making Mr.. Hepburn the leader OF the re-
publican party in Oklahoma the party will
thereby stand by the principles OF all classes OF
men and women in all walks of life.
! assure you that appreciate the outsand-
ing position OF the Tulsa World for good gov
ernment,
Yours very sincerely,
saltwater. Feb. Ii. JOHN Pa HICKMAN.

on Reconstruction HIghMays.

Tho Okmulgee incident almost
submerged interest in the oncoming
meeting of the reformatory briga-
diers TO be held at Shawnee the card
of this month. Its official title is
the Farmer-Labor Reconstruction
league, which. from the standpoint
OF wearing out a typewriter, is. as
Colonel Shakespeare would say, all
and somewhat.
The principal object of the league
leaders appears to be to get a
stronghold on politics, the members
working on the theory that they are
already In a heluVa fix and can't
make matters much worse.
The democratic politicians have
been somewhat concerned about this
meeting indorsing Mayor j. G. Wal
ton of Oklahoma City for governor,
and II can be said with authority
that such a movement Is seriously
contemplated. 1t can also be stated
with almost equal authority that the
mayor is somewhat apprehensive
that John Simpson. president of the
Farmers Co-Operative union. and
larger than the other labor
organization, may conclude to take
charge OF the affair and take a few
Endorsements for himself.
The east side readers are not so
well acquainted with this Mr.. John
Simpson as are those of the west
side, where more than four-fifths of
the members of the union reside. In
addition to being a real farmer, he
has also been a lawyer and banker
and q real politician - no man

DEFENDING FIRED DENNIS.

II remained for a local publication, the gem
eral policy of which. both local and foreign, is
presumed to be dictated In the main by the
Hon. Newly Graham, to rise TO the defense OF
Fred G. Dennis. the state bank commissioner
who suddenly became too III to hold his office
when he was advised the okmulgee grand jury
was about 20 indict him, and who has within
tho past few days, according TO reports from
oklahoma City. sold his magnificent homo In
that city and completely disappeared. We as
sumo in fairness that Mr., Graham was prompt

nectlons both in this and other matters.
1t had been the thought that no reputable in

thought. But this local publication. directed

which must have been sufficient for Its own

There is room for the belief that the purpose
ot this weekly publication is clear, since It also

Revive Old Idea,

Moreover. the Okmulgee incident
has revived n cry that candidates
from the state house can not win,
and yet there are exceptionally few
democratic aspirants but are con-
cerned with the state government.
Some of them have been out a few
months, one two years. but the num-
ber OF sure-enough democratic as
pirants not now or very recently
connected with the state govern
ment can be numbered on the fin
gers of one hand, BY state offi-
GERS. members of the legislature and
district court officials. together with
state employees, are all included.
The reason Is obvious-they grow
to have wider mountaineering and
have better facilities for spreading
their campaign propaganda.

who knows him we'll has ever
charged him with failing to
play a mans part in any undertake
ing.
II is very well understood that Mr..
Simpson may not even attend the
meeting and that such of his tribe
as are present will be very loyal to
Mayor Walton's ambition to receive
n rather peculiar "sendoff' on what
every man now accepts as a stormy
political position. But he plays a
bold hand In the game OF politics
and 1t is true that he has been ad-
vertising no support for any candi-
date.
But that the organized forces of
laborers and farmers can mean
much in political circles is an ac-
cepted fact. Were one compelled to
make prophecy, he would have to
forecast that 1t would get into a
private family row. but those direct
ing the movement are taking every
precaution knogn to them TO pre-
vent that very thing.

THAT MAN AT oKMuLGEE.

"That man at Okmulgcc." IS the way James
Hepburn, tho county attorney OF okmuigee
county, is now being referred 20 and thought Of
by thousands Of people in oklahoma. That
man at Okmulgce" has caught tho eye Of tho
people and they have hopo aroused that per-
haps thcre Is surconso in sight: that pos
Sbly chance. which plays such a prominent
part In tho affairs OF men, has raised up a
character at tho right moment TO lead the way
TO better things. In short, from every section
Of tho state comes inslstcnt demand for Hep
burn Tor governor.
While The World makes no pretense OF deny
ing that It feels much sympathy for this sud
den development, II yet wants to caution against
over zeal at this time. Mr.. Hepburn has an i'm
portant work TO do yet in Okmulgeo county. lie
nhould not bo embarrassed in that work nor
rhould the powers that prey, and that are even
now praying 90 he delivered from this man. he

0kmulgee prosecutor has been moro than iustl-
fled by his second statement to the people OF his
own county His urge that conservatism pre-
vail, his regret that what dld transpIre had
trnnsplred, and his frank admission that he
himself had said too much. stamps him MS n
man OF superb judgment and splendid polso. II
is doubly gratifying that at no time, either be-
fore or since tho disagroeabo aud sensational
occurrence in his jurisdiction has he made a
partisan statement or committed n partisan act.
