The News is one of the few re-

we wdl not be humiliated in making
hack tracks in order to get in line
with the party. Frank Frantz will
be the first governor ot the greatest
state in the union, Oklahoma.
Fred L- Boynton announces in
this paper for the ofltcc of county
attorney. Mr. Boynton is so well
and favorably kno.wn ia this coun-
ty that anything we could say would
not enlighten the people. Mr.
Boynton is the son of our fellow-
citizen S. T- Boynton and thiscnun-
ty" has been his permanent home.
He has always engaged in the thick
of the fight for republican principles
and aided the party in many ways-
He i« an able attorney and is es-
pehially fitted for the office which
he seeks. The republicans would
make no mistake in naming Mr-
Boynton for this office.
In the New* columns will be
found the announcement of G. H.
Woodsworth of Hennessey. Mr-
Woodsworth desires the nomination
of "county clerk and is well qualified
to fill the position- He is u native
of Douglas county, Illinois, moving
to Kingfisher 9 years ago. He has
taught a number of schools in the
county, being superintendent of the
Okarche school- Mr. Woodsworth
was rural mail carrier out of his
h<?ma town for two years. He is
a. earnest republican, a clean, well
qtjatyfied taan and the republicans
will \>av<* a chance to strengthen
the ticket by naming G- H. Woods-
worth for county clerk.
DOVER, OKLAHOMA, Thursday, August i 1907
Vol. vii. No. 23
From A Tree Top,
This is by I'nole Jake Ailmire
Editor of the Kuid Eajile.
It has been a mistake all along to
'•lav down 011 .Mr. lti'osevelt. He
wilf do liis duty. I f the constitution
ia in violation of the letter of the
Enabling Act, or 111 violation of the
Federal constitution, he will not ap-
prove it. Roosevelt is a fighter, a
fair tighter, (except in case of a wolf)
but if anyone is to get the advantage
in a fight he is in favor of his trienda,
just like all other decent men are.
But he has no use lor cowards, lie
loves a regular bear fight—a fight to
a finish. And. when it is over, aud
somebody is licked he has 110 sympa-
thy with the fellow who whines, and
says he did not have a fair show. I lie
republicans of Oklahoma have had a
fair show—more. But, they have
been hungry all the time:—they have
had an insatiable a. petite; the}' have
had every thing at their, command un-
til last summer. For the first time,
the people were given a chance to
vote. They were tired and disgusted
and they did like men al.vays do
under like conditions, Ihey bit olf
their noses to spite their laces. Their
faces didn't care a rap; they were
rather interested in the novelty of a
face being without a nose, and they
marched up to the polls mad as bulls.
They didn't intend it, but they did it
all the same. They made an intangi-
ble mess of it. Of course, t|je mess
business, as tht writer has had provo-
cation to say for many months, began
at the Washington end of the line.
Certain individuals and certain in-
terest must be protected, uo matter
what becomes of Oklahoma. Every
tLing was subordinated to that end.
That was so plain that all the fools in
the two territories saw it and under-
stood it. The smart Alexanders did
not want to see it—they looked the
other way. And here we arc. The
Washington end of the line is as
dumbfounded as any one else, but
that end ol the line seems to be safe.
And that was the main thing that
was considered. Time will tell. The
people may conclude that it will be
just as well to make it unanimous
aud such a result would not be sur-
prising. Explanations will not ex-
plain. Apologies will not apologize.
The Tulsa republican convention will
nominate ''a republican ticket.
Lightning may strike. The chances
are against it. But the battle is on
and Roosevelt will watch it with in-
terest and applaud when :t looks
favorable to—Capt, 1-rantz. We
must abide by the result ot the bat-
tle. If we are licked, it will not be
a new experience. But, the baby
act episode has been played and we
are in for it. The writer understands
how interesting it is to fight an over-
whelming enemy for years with no
sane hope of success. There is lots
of fun in it, aud that seems jusi now
to be the destiny ot the republican
party ot Oklahoma.
It really doesn't make much defer-
ence. The biggest, iattest, slickest
and best humored men we have ever
met are republicans who have spent
their lives 111 a hopeless political fight
against a beastly democratic majority
We will all live—live just as long as
we ought to. And—
We may all be happy yet.

Farmers Bank.
W. J. Clark, of this place, pro
pj.ses to organise a bank, raising the
t units from the farmers and the union
labor linn. The inatUulioc 13 to

aud will be located 111 Oklahoma
City. Saturday's Oklahoma!, publish-
ed the following concerning the pro-
posed new bank:
Articles of incorporation have been
liled in the office of the register of
deeds, of Oklahoma county for tin-
C<>-Operative Bank and Trust Com
pnny, 1111 institution capitalized at
$500,000 and proposing to do a
general banking business, with iniiin
offices in Oklahoma City.
The promoters assert that the insti-
tution is t>> li' made strictly a union
labor concern, and they hope to draw
the financial support of the labor
unions and the farmers' union of the
two territories.
The five members ol the board of
directors are all prominent members
of the Farmers' union, or of estab-
lished lalxir unions, and the subscrip-
tion for the stock are confined exclu-
sively to members of labor uuions, ac.
cording to the statement of W. ,1.
Clark, the president of the company,
and Cephas Miller, the treasurer.
The location of the new bankine
institute has definitely been decided

ni ss that lacks the element of great
ness must be false. The Ulan who
rides over the just rights of others
lu order to secure his own advance-
ment, is lacking in all that consti-
tutes true greatness.
Wisdom, zeal, courage, persever-
ance. knowledge, are some of the
traits of character that push one to
the front, lint above ail tilings it

We must begin young. Time must

those who expect to succeed. .Idle-
ness must not be tolerated. The man
who reach notoriety are busy men.
There are idlers iu school; as a rule
they art- never heard of beyond the
school room. There are street corner
loafers who spend days in whittling
boxes and tie posts; but who ever
heaj'.l of them as being noted for any
thing else? There nre people who
are fascinated by cards, or billiards,
( r baseball, or croquet; but there are
few fasrnated by their hie history.

In this issue Emory D. Brownlee
of Kingfisher announces for the
nomination of state senator for the
district composed of Kingfisher and
Maine county. Mr- Brownlee is a
young man having graduated from
the Southwest Kansas College at
Winfield in 189a and from the law-
department of the University of
Michigan in 1895. He practiced
law in Enid for two years after
which he was appointed register of
the U. S. land office at Kingfisher
which position he held until the of-
fice was aboli&ned in 1905. Mr.
Brownlee has formed a partnership
with P. S- Nagle In the practice of
law-
union; Cephas Miller, of Stewart,
Okla., E. A. Bowerman of Shawnee
a prominent member of the central
trades assembly of that city and J. L.
Vaughn, ot Krebs. I. T., a member
ct the Southwestern Millers' associa-
tion.
W. J. Clark, of Okarche, has been
elected as president; B. C. Hansen,
of Shawnee, secretary, and Cephas
Miller, ot Stewart, treasurer ot the
proposed institution.
Of the $iM)0,000 capital stock $200,-
has been subscribed at the time of the
signing of the articles of incorpora-
tion, according to the declaration con-
tained in the instrument. This stock
is djvided into shares of $100 each.
The original plan called for shares ot
$25 each, but it was found that under
the banking laws of Oklahoma no
shares of less than $100 could be is-
sued.
"We expect that the institution
will be largely patronized and sup-
ported by the Farmers' union and the
organized labor ot the territories,"
said President Clark at the Lee hotel
last evening. "We expect to make
the institution in realty a labor bank.
The employes and officers will all be
members in good standing of labor
unions. No stock will be sold, except
to union members, and an especial ef-
fort will be made to ac-
commodation union men.
"We expect to have the emblems
of the different labor unions placed
at all convenient point on our build-
ing, on the furniture and fixtures.
We will also use the literture, checks
certificate. Our bank will be a unfons
bank, for union men and run in their
interests.'
If organized along the lines propos-
ed, it is'the belief of persons interest-
ed, that the proposed financial insti-
tution will add materially to the bus-
iness interests of Oklahoma City.
Another result that is expected to
follow the founding of the banking
house will be the removal of the state
headquarters of the Farmers' union'
from Shawnee to Oklahoma City.

John Jordon of Cimarron town-
ship. precinct nuuibor 2 announoMS
in this issue of the News for sheriff.
Nearly everybody knows jolly good
natured John, and to know him is
to feel that if selected by his party
to make the race for sheriff lie will
put his whole self into fight, which
means considerable. John is a
stalwart repudlican and we believe
if lie is nominated would be elected
and give the people a good admin-
istration.
Hennessey township has a candi-
date for the republican nomination
of sheriff of Kingfisher county in
the person of W- 11. Titterington.
Mr. Titterington is a simon pure re-
publican and has the right build to
handle the law breakers of the coun-
ty. He is a good mixer and should
the party see fit to honor him with
the nomination for the office he
seeks would make a victorious light.
In the announcement column will
be found the name of J. P. Dunn of
Cooper township for the nomination
of sheriff. Mr. Dunn is a substant-
ial farmer a good republican and is
worthy the earnest consideration of
the county. Mr. Dunn is qualified
for the position and if nominated
and elected would make a good of-
ficer.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
News will be found the announce-
ment of John M. Graham for the
nomination of County Judge.
Judge Grahm needs no introduction
to the people of Kingfisher county
as he is the present Probate Judge
has served the people faithfully and
honestly. His nomination means
the continuance of the integrity of
the present probate court.
Georgs E- Moore is a candidate
for county superintendent. Mr.
Moore is a young man who has
ability , rendering the people of
the county excellent service in the
management of the schools for the
past two years. His every effort
has been for the betterment of the
educational advantages of the coun-
ty. Mr. Moore has one of the best
records as superintendent to be
found in Oklahoma and it would be
no more than right to give him the
nomination for the office which he
has ti.led so acceptably to the en-
tire people of the country.
