Mr. George L. Bowman,
KingBuher, Okla.
Dear Sir;—
You arc claiming, through
the Press and in personal letters,
sent in your official envelope, marked
Important," that you should be
■elected on account of your record for
the past five years, as County At-
torney, also, 1 am iutormed, you are
making statements to individuals,
who are republicans, reflecting 011
my private character, in order to get
them to scratch tneir ticket. I
charge that your statements in your
letters, are misleading, and in many
instances, untrue, wherein you are
claiming credit for certain things;
and the statements in regard to my
private character are absolutely
false) for that reason, t.'ie voters
should have the ssliole facts to con-
sider.
I therefore challenge you to meet
me and make good, if you can, the
charges made against me, and the
claims you make for yourself as an
honest prosecutor.
1 will meet you at Kingfisher Sat-
urday nighl. where we will have our
first discussion, if it suits you, and
agree upon times and places, and the
hours, dividing time, for future dis-
cussions; tho debate to be continued
dally till the election, and submit
our claims to the voters, with a full
knowledge of the facts, tree from
deception and fraud.
Your prompt reply is requested,
as our time is limited.
Very respectfully,
M. W. Hinch.

BIRD S. McGUIRE
Republican Candidate for Congress, First District.
A Decision.
Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 21—Fred
Blkins, Assistant Attorney General,
prepared an opinion yesterday, in
answer to a query from J. I!. Thom-
pson, chairman of the democratic
state central committee, to the eifeet
that a county coroner and a public
weigher must be nominated in each
of the counties of the new state, as
the offices are in existence until
changed by the state legislature.
Because t^ie constitution is silent
in i t gard to these two county offices,
in many in:t:mces they have not
been considered in nominating
county tickets. Mr. EUins says:
"The officers of public weigher
and coroner arc created by si ction
1235 of Wilsons statutes, 1903.
This office lias hold and is .-till of the
opinion that under provisions of
section 2 of the schedule of the
constitution, these offices will con.
tiuue to exist until the law is
changed tly the state legislature."
The Enid Eaglp says that Frank
Frantz r majority in Garfield county
will be at least 2,000. There is no
longer any doubt as to Ins election.
The Shawnee Herald was awarded
the contract for printing the ballots
for the coming election. The
contract price was $12 440. Over
two million ballots will be printed.
We are an independent sort of cuss
but really now, place both the tickets
side by side and isn't the republican
ticket the best one of the two
Realizing that statehood is near
at hand the real issue in this cam-
paign is, shall the slate be republican
or democratic. The events of the
past year should be enough to conv-
ince the voters that the state should
be under republican management.
Tbe way to secure this is to go into
the booth od the 17th take your ballot
stamp the eagle and then without
further ado place the ballot in the
box.
M. W. Hinch the republican can-
didate for county attorney has
produced come figures which the
people ought to know. During Mr.
Bowman's terms as county attorney
he has brought 83 cases berore the
district court and secured 9 convict-
ions. The balance have been dis-
missed at the instance of the county
for various reasons. In the same
time be has brought 407 cases in the
probate court and secured 30 con-
victs. Mr. Hinch promised to show
a much larger per cent of convictions
during his administration or resign
the office.

all for McGuire in'this campaign.
A great number of them have been
able thru hi-< services to gc', deserv-
ed recognition before the pension
bureau in Washington. What a
contrast it would be to elect Me-
Guire's opponent) who at heart is
not even in sympathy with the old
soldiers, hut who still retains the
same opinions that were uppermost
in the south during tho civil war-
The daily papers are heralding
the announcement that the stork is
soon to visit the home of the Long-
worths. If the country paper was
to publish such stuff about promin-
ent citizens of its territory, the
editor would he constantly in hiding
and liis meals would be served to
him after dark by some sympathetic
friend who was sorry for him be-
cause he knew so litile.
Congressman McGnire is prom-
ised by Secretary Garfield that he
will favor the removal of restrictions
in Indian Territory which means
less taxes for Oklahoma farmers to
pay-
The court records in Pawnee and
other counties in the first district
will show that Mr. McGuire's op-
ponent in the congressioral race is
a corporation attorney, because his
name is written 011 the dockets as
such.
Tickets Complete.
Certificates Sent Out By
Election Board.
Guthrie, Sept. 1—Thc^tate elec-
tion board has completed its work
and Messrs Galbrcnth and Harring-
ton have returned to their homes.
Yesterday Acting Governor Filson
and a'large number of clerks were
busy making out and mailing the
certificates of nomination to tho
various counties- The tickets were
sent to mere isolated counties first,
lit aver and '1\ King the first to
lie mailed.
In the representative districts the
election board found that the repub-
licans had not filed in the following
counties: Bryan, two districts; Cim-
arron, Cole, Deleware, Greeri two
district: ; Haskell, Texas and Tulsa
It is understood that the republicans
nominated representatives in Tulsa,
Cimarron and Texas counties, but
for some reason their certificates
were not tiled. In some of tbe dis-
tricts where the republicans did not
file, no socialists filed, which gives
the democrats no opposition at the
polls. A democrat is placed 011 the
ballot by the state board in each of
the 109 districts.
Frank Frantz has proved himself
a man of the people and will always
remain true to their interests. lie

CenSUS Figures.

We will credit an exchange with
this: A farmer entered one of our
stores the other day and asked the
j price of sulphur. When told it was
] ten cents he said: ' 'I can get it
from Sears it Roebuck for seven
cents-" ''Yes/' replied the mer-
chant, who had evidently heard that
argument before, "and you can get.
it in hell for nothing, and won't
have to pay the freight." The sale
wa* made.

Cowardice sits and whines, -I
can't. Courage forces success. C.
V urd entered our college last
year with only g.'!3 to take a book-
keeping and business course. lie
paid this on tuit'on and material,
did janitor work to pay the rest,
worked on Saturdays and at odd
times to pay his board. The day he
graduated he bad paid his tuition,
all expenses, and had $20 cash and
a $.'>0 a month position, secured by
the college, waiting lor him.
Such courage and determination
as this always win respect, admira-
tion, aid, success. Another young
man enrolled with us with less than
$10. He paid his way, board and
tuition, by janitor work, milking,
cutting wood, etc. Business men
admired his pluck and aided him. in-
completed, did the official reporting
of his district four years, and is to-
day the respected head of a growing
college.
Another young man quit work in
debt at a saw mill, borrowed the
money to come to our school for a
combined course of bookkeeping and
shorthand, brought his wife with him
and did light housekeeping. The
day he finished bis course, we placed
him in a good railroad position at
per month, and he has advanced
now until he is getting more than
$100. What would weakness and
fear have done for thfse young men?
What did stamina and will power do?
Emerson says) "Do what you are
afraid to do." We say, strike out
boldly. There are 110obstacles that
brave hearts cannot surmount. Toil
is the open sesame to wealth, and
the brightest crown is won iu the
dust of the arena.

with us at an early date. 162 page
