ings of the past week have not
been in vain. They have changed
opinions, resulting from indif
ferrnee or personal preferences.
They have caused an intensity of
feeling among thinking people.
Besides, the campaign work of
Mr. Cross here, was so inefective
as to leave a counteracting im-
pression. In fact everything in
general has tended to give the
Republicans a clear political sky.

The Outlook Enconragiig.
The past week with its rous
ing political meetings has
brought glorious results for the
Republican party in this section.
At 110 time since the opening of
the campaign has the Republican
party been more active in its
work, or attained more success.
These successful achievements
are daily becoming more visible
both in local and Territorial poli-
tics.
The outlook for Republican
success at the present time is
more encouraging much more
—than it was a few weeks ago.
The little differences which
existed previously have been
wiped out, and today the party's
ranks are strengthened by a
harmony such as comes only
from a teaching of sound princi-
ples, in the embodiment of which
the Republican party stands
first and always has stood tirst.
It is of interest to note that
most of the original supporters
of the John Brown ticket have
been brought to a realization of
duty and have fallen in line with
the Republican party. This was
but natural however for they
could not consistently have done
otherwise. Though these poo
pie had personal preferences at
the start they perceived that tin1
party's interests were their
interests after all. It would
have been impossible to elect the
John Brown ticket, would sim
ply have tended to weaken the
Republican ticket. The colored
voters as a body do not feel like
turning their backs to the
Republican party.
All things considered, the lie
publicans have reason for being
delighted with their prospects.
The rousing Republican meet-
AS * BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
The advisability of voting
bonds for the completion and ex-
tension of the waterworks sys-
tem of this city is a subject that
ought to receive due attention.
Judged from a business point of
view it is a question of import-
nice, and the more attention the
subject is given, the more this
fact is realized.
In the tirst place the comple-
tion of the waterworks is needed.
The system in its present condi-
tion is inadequate. To let it re-
main in this shape is not busi
ness like so long as there is a
way out. The system is all right
so far as it goes but it does not
go far enough. A partly com-
pleted waterworks system, like
a partly constructed house,
needs to be tinished before it can
be of practical use. The old
maxim. "It never pays to do
things by halves," is applicable
in this case. If the waterworks
systt in is worth having at all it
is worth the cost necessary to
its completion.
Then there is the question of
the city's indebtedness. The
voting of the $10,000 bonds will
not only cover the cost of com
pleting the waterworks, but will
put the city on a better financial
basis, paying the indebtedness
of $4,400 on the present water
works system and tower and
tank, and also the excuses for
tapping the mains. It will re-
quire several hundred dollars to
tap the mains, and while that
amount is not relatively large, it
would be more satisfactory for
the city to complete its mains by
paying cash The cost would be
less. The conditions would be
th same 111 other expenses.
As is generally understood the
bonds to be issued would sell at
a premium. Such being the
case it would be more econom-
ical for the city to issue them.
The city is paying interest on
its warrant indebtedness any-
way. The issuing of bonds
would give the advantage of a
premium, and. placing the city
on a cash basis would enable it
to transact business along busi-
ness lines.
township, be placed on ballots as
a candidate for sheriff. Though
the petition does not so state,
this name is to take the place of
that of John Cochrane, with-
drawn. The petition asserts
that Washington is legally quali
tied to hold said office and the
subscribers one and all "desire
and are legally qualified to vote
for said candidate." They fur-
ther ask that the candidate's
name be placed on the John
Brown Rspublican ticket, and
the device thereof be a plow.
Of the subscribers who are
qualified and iuosikk to vote for
Washington for sheriff, are Jas.
Blackford, Link Barr and A. L.
Share, nominees on the citizens
ticket, also C. A. Love, brother
of the citizen's candidate for
sheriff, M. W. Judge.T.M Lewis,
J. E. Ruhl, Ben Thorne, Ed. F.
Gould, B. J. Conley, J. I. Buck-
les, and others, mostly members
of the Citizen's central commit-
tee. If the petition was signed
in good faith and stated the facts,
there would seem to be quite an
amount of bad faith towards at
least one nominee on the citi-
zen's ticket. However if these
gentlemen '(desire" to vote as
their petition states, there is no
statutory prohibition, but the ex
pression of such "desire" be-
comes part of their political rec-
ord.—Kingfisher Daily Star.
Speaking of John Leddy, the
Republican candidate for sheriff,
the Free Press aptly says:
"By reason of his long service
he is especially fitted for sheriff
and his numerous duties. He
has always been true to the
trusts imposed in him and when

Hennessey 17 fnidO
The foot ball game Saturday
was a pleasant surprise to the
spectators, as tho High school
boys made an excellent showing
in their tirst game. It was the
fourth game of the season for
Enid and with their superior ex
perience the result of the game
was very much a matter of spec-
ulation and things pointed to an
easy victory for that team. How-
ever from start to finish the home
boys outplayed the visitors in
every point of the j;aiiie. Their
work was remarkable in the pre
cision and accuracy of the
work. Their formations were a
little slow but they all got into
the play a with unison good
to see. Every point in which
they struck Enid line it parted
and the boys went through for
regular three to six yard gains.
Their work on defence was
equally good and the ball would
hardly be started by Enid till the
line was broken and the visitors
downed for a loss by some ener
getic Hennessey lad.
Not only in playing but in con-
duct on the field did the home
boys show their superiority.
The boys are to be commended
for their quiet, gentlemanly
bearing and the sports manlike
manner in which they accepted
the decisions of the officials.
The captain of the visiting team
was a pitiable example of the
direct contrast of these quali
ties and evidently expected to
win the game through a contin-
ual wronging with the officials.
However it can be said that a
majority of the players of the
visiting team were a refreshing
i contrast to this benighted captain

can rest assured that they have
the right man in the place.
"As a man and a citizen 110 one
stands higher and as a republi
can 110 man has done more val-
iant service for his party.
"He is the right kind of a man
to be trusted with the sheriff's
office and he will do his duty
fearlessly on every occasion.

The High school lads may feel
encouraged over this score of 17
to0 in their first game and by
applying themselves may hope
for a successful season. The
boys came through without a
scratch, which altogether upsets
that erroneous theory of the
foulolity of modern football.
J I Burns for County Clerk
J. E. Burns, Republican can-
didate for county clerk, was born
in West Virginia and reared in
Missouri. I111801, at the age of
eighteen, lie entered the Union
army as a private in Co. A. iMth
Indiana infantry, serving till
1HG5. After the war he returned
to Morgan county, Missouri, serv-
ing two years as deputy county
clerk. I11 IsiiH lie removed to
Allen county, Kansas, remaining
there till l*8(i. During his resi
deuce there he served as deputy
county clerk, deputy register of
deeds, and deputy treasurer
I11 lNSt! he moved to Harper coun-
ty again serving as deputy regis-
ter of deeds till he moved to
Oklahoma in 1W(I, living on a
farm till 18UH, when he was elect-
ed county clerk, which office he
has since held.
1 If is a man thoroughly compe
tent for the duties of his ottice.
Taken in connection with his
other qualifications no better
recommendation could be given
than the fact that he has been
re elected to the office.
Queer Political Alliance
A petition,signed by the twen-
ty nine legal voters of the coun
ty, was tiled with the county
clerk yesterday and presented
to the board of election commis-
sioners, asking that the name of
ti. li. Washington, of Corouado
this paper ap
headed "Queer
Political Alliance," from the
Kingfisher Star. To show that
Washington is a candidate in the
interests of the Democrats, it is
only necessary to point to the
facts recited in the Star name-
ly, that many of the petitioners
are leading Democratic workers,
some candidates on the citizen's
ticket and several members of
ttie county central committee of
that party.
The ottice of county commis-
sioner, though not high salaried,
is one of the most important in
the county. The Republican
ticket has the very best men
that could be selected for that
position namely, W. O. Cun-
ningnani, tirst district; W. P.
Griffin, second district: W. M.
Chalker. third district.
