An nouncing his platform in a state ment that takes up barely ton lines of single column printed matter, Al J. Jennings who served ten years in the Ohio Penitentiary and former leader of the famous Jennings gang of Indian Territory outlaws, is tak ing first place among the seven men who have already formally entered th race for the democratic nomina tion for governor of Oklahoma. Jen nings is being bitterly fought by the so called Democratic machine. His race barely begun promises to bo one of the most spectacular ever seen, even in tho politics ridden state of Oklahoma. Jennings says ho is cortnin to win He believes as firmly as is possible for any man to believe anything that he will bo tho next governor of the state whero thirty years igo thero was a piico on his body, dead or alive. In the last election of Oklahoma county ho ran for prosecuting at torney. Ho secured the nomination on the democratic ticket and lost tho election by only 500 votes with 14, 000 cast. Jennings says the high up criminals and tho election judges stole tlMi office from him. However that may bo, it is evident that the other candidates fear him above any other man. On returning from tho penitentiary, ho reviewed his studies in law, was given back his citizen ship by President Roosevelt and he has made good in tho profossion in u big wuy. Ills enemies have been un able to produce evidence that ho hns not liyed u straight life since he was pardomed from the penitentiary. A year ego he had a suit of rooms in th SUte National Hank building at Oklahoma City. He had an income af $5,000 a year. He was one of the loading criminal lawyers of ho state with all tho business ho could attend to. Clients came to him from all parts of Oklahoma. Today ho has two little dark rooms in tho bnck of an obscure brick building on North Broad wit y. All his neighbors aro so id niUs dentists and dress-makers. A creaky old stairway leads tho way from tho Areot to his ofllco door on which in Miimll letters is tho sign, "Al J. Jenning. Ho lias iult his law pructict). Ho nays n man ran't hi) I'xmtly on the i)uutu nnd pniitlni luw. 'riitn,fi will take all liU time to attend tho coming cu'inpulgn.

"But there nrc two reasons why I do not do this. In the first place I havn't got the money, and in the second I won't place myself on tho low plane of tho men who get office by buying themselves in. Tho old outlaw days that I have been trying so hard for tho past fifteen years to forget were uncouth, they wore some times savage and sometimes even murderous. But those men were men. They never lied. There was no comparison between tho outlaws who openly broke tho law and the public official who perjures himself by swearing falsely to tho amount of his election expenses. These men arc criminals just tho same as the ad mitted criminals who aro In jail now They are rarely worse for they par ade in sheep's clothing. The question of raising tho $:t,000 right now for the expense money is not an oasy one. True, Jennings' will soon have a good income from stories and books hut he has debts to meet and he says he never expects to be more than comfortably well off. He is already announcing his platform which is said to be the shortest one on which a candidate ever ran for n high office. Ho promises: "First, fi delity to the people. Second, real hon esty in office. Third, that tho law shall be no respector of persons. When 'theso principals are thruthful ly and honestly carried out all inter ests will bo subserved nnd taxes will be greatly reduced. In ail my life, I have never betrayed a confidence. If the people confide in mo, God may be my judge. I'll not betray them." The Open Forum Signed communications on top ics of general intcrtnt, will lie given space in this column.

In tho first placo I wish to ob ject to the unfair and subtle way in which an attempt is made to play upon tho religious prejudices of oth ers than Presbyterians, by the wny my name and religious connection is broucht out. While I am proud of both, they hnve no connection with tho matter under discussion. More over I have never allowed th'J matter of religious preference or connection to bo even mentioned in board meet igs, and it has never influenced mo in the least as a school director. That not a single teacher in the High School is a member of tho Presbyter ian church, except Mrs. Hopkins, who teaches music in all the grades also, is sufficient proof that I have not swerved from the usual intelli gence and broad-mindedness for which Presbyterians are everywhere known. In the next placo I wish to say, I did not even know that a so-called entertainment was planned, until tho protest, made in behalf of a num ber of parents, had been made by Mrs. Haberly to Prof. Hopkins. These parents had learned that the chief attraction at the so-called en tortainment was to be dancing, tho the invitation gave no intimation of that feature. The point of the ob jection was, that no one had any right to use our public school or its name in connection with a dance. Had I known I should certainly have taken measures at once to put a stop to any dance in the nnme of tho school, or under the auspices of any por tion of its faculty as such. "When one faction, representing only a small portion of tho people concerned, endeavors to dictate the mode of amusement that shall pre vail among nil, it usurps the rights ef others," is n profound and fund amental principle as you state. But your application is to tho wrong side in this case. It is the dancing fac tion, forcing its ideas and standards upon an entire communiy in the name of our public schools that caus ed tho protest. Because all taxpay ers help support tho schools, and bo cause all parents are compelled, by our school laws, to send their children to school, tho Oregon school law wisely prohibits dancing in Bchool houses. It would bo inano to nrguo that a school as such, can do what thu Inw prohibits, If dono elsewhere thnn in the school building. Advanc ed and progressive communities like Albany and Sulcm expel studentx for using the name or class, pennant in connection with a dunro, I do not think thu taxpayers of thU din trlct will euro to pay nuch heavy krhnol tax an wu uru now paying In imhr to promote ilundng among the BtuduntK.

Since your paper states that they got their list from the High School teachers, they cannot very well plead ignorance of the request, for surely Prof. Hopkins informed them of Mrs. Haborloy's request. Yet, despite said request, theso pat ronesses of the dancing entertain ment sent into our home invitations to those who are still under our pro tection and discipline. This, Mrs. Haberly justly resented, ns s,ho ob jected to tho dance on the ground of moral danger in itself, and because there arc in the Bandon High School, even tho few in number, some young people, ns there are in every other school, with whom we, as parents, do not care to have our children mingle in a social way, nnd especially not in the intimacy of a dance. I wish to state also that if any let tors were sent to anyone unsigned it was dono by someone other than Mrs. Haberly or myself, as we are always ready to accept the conse quonses of our standing for truth and righteousness. I also hope that hereafter your paper will hear both sides before printing such misstate ments as you have done. No man should be compelled to reply to such wild gossip nnd prejudiced represen tations ns nppear in your issue of last week. I do not wish to meddle in tho private concerns of any in dividual, but as a director my re sponsibility is to tho whole commun ity. I have tried to serve all with ut most charity and good will. Unfor tunately the "squabble" has broken into an otherwise successful term of pchool. But those who infringed tho rights of others as expressed in our school laws, must take tho responsi bility for such friction and division Plainly speaking, those who foster ed and promoted the questionable entertainment and danco have caus ed all this trouble, and they must shoulder the responsibility for it, In this connection and as a part of this communication please print the accompanying clippig from the Ore gonian on the expulsion of students at Albany for dancing. I am sorry I have had to make so lengthy a rc ply, and wish to state that I bear no one any ill will on account of tho in cident, and hope that this will end the unhappy controversy. Signed, A.

As a result of their activities in arranging for tho sophomore dance last Monday evening, two prominent students of the Albany High School were cxpcll ed yesterday. - The dance was held against the wishes of tho school au thoritics. When the event was first announced the officers of tho class wore told it could not be given so that the affair could be connected of ficially with the school. Class pen- ants wero used in the decorations and other acts indicated, members of the faculty say, thnt tho Instruction had been disregarded.
