Ex-Governor C. N. Haskell de-
livered one of his characteristic
speeches at the Loewen opera
house in Enid on Thursday night
of last week. He was greeted
by a fairly good audience, many
of whom were Owens support-

through courtesy to the ex-gov-
ernor or to ascertain personally AULUltr

above advice for it has gotten
the Chicago police force under
commission and an emergency
hospital has been established
for the convention with twenty-;
|
five cots. , ,
We incline to the belief that;
the hospital equipment of surg-;
eons, nurses and cots will prove j
inadequate if the row breaks
out under Teddy’s personal com-
mand The warlike Colonel
with his,big stick alone could
crack more than twenty-five
heads, the number provided for
with cots. Flynn of Pittsburg
with his company of roughnecks
may be able to lay out several
hundred Taft followers with
brass knuckles and sand bags.
It does not \et appear who is
to lead the fighting force of the
Taft army but little Rosewater
would make a poor fighting man.
j Vic, might sneak up and hit
some one in the back, for the
| gumshoe work is his style and
! being very small he of necessity
* cannot make open fight for any-
thing. Nature generally pro-
vides the weak creatures with
cunning to cope with the
strength of others.
If KooscYelt does not get
; enough delegates seated by the
National Committee he will open
up an opposition convention. Re-
ports from Chicago some days
ago stated that he had already
engaged the hall for his rump
convention as he expects the
work of the steam roller to put
him under the count in the reg-
ular eonvent’on.
No one knows the power of
the federal machine better than
Roosevelt. Has he not used it
himself in time pass'd to good
effect?
It is just thirty-two years sinca
the Republican situation was as
badly mixed as now. The strug-
gle between Grant and Blaine.
Grant, like Teddy, wanted a
third term distinction above all
previous presidents. Neither of
the candidates could win. The
party could not afford to nomi-
nate either as the friendsof the
other would bolt, so Garfield and
Arthur were nominated and the
ticket won.
Let us hope that this chapter
in history will lie repeated in
Chicag » and ln>th Roosevelt and
Taft be set aside for som? man
upon whom both factions can
unite, for if either is nominated
now there is great danger of
party defeat.—Oklah«>ma Times,
(Rep.)
