That the Hon. Bill can adapt himself
to circumstances and surroundings and
say things here and then 'somersault
somewhere else, one needs but to keep
tab on his ‘speeches’ as he Journoys on
to certain defeat at the polls. Here are
a few of his flapdoodles.
At Hobart:—“There was no nigger
smell In that convention that nomina-
ted me.”
At Blackwell:—“I am glad to see
that you have no niggers here. There
wasn’t no niggers In the convention
that nominated me.”
At Guthrie:—“I am so glad to see so
many of my negro friends here tonight.
I have more negro friends than any
man In Oklahoma." ,
At Langston, a negro town:—It Is a
pleasure for me to mingle with the
colored bretheren. 1 love them
was nursed by an old colored mamma,
and 1 want your vote.”
From the above specimens of your
Uncle Bill’s ability to tell the truth at
one place and lie at another, it is but
natural to infer that the people will
decide that his talents can best be em-
ployed in the dry goods house at Kan-
sas City.

A populist living west of town told
us a funny little story one day this
week illustrating how the democrats
stretch the truth. He said two weeks
ago when the democrats organized the

BIRD M'GUIRE AND STATE-
HOOD.
A vote for McGuire is a vote for
statehood, and a vote for Cross is a
vote against statehood. If we elect
Cress as a delegate this fall he could
not cast any vote for any political re-
form we advocate. If we elect McGuire
he could not vote for any of the meas-
ures we oppose, but his election woul<
assure the passage of the statehooc
bill.
That would enable us to elect two
congressmen and two l nited States
seuators who could vote on all the rneas-
‘ ures that would give Oklahoma the
same power in the senate that the
state of X ew Yorfc has.
This fall the populists of Oklahoma
will have no party emblem on the
ticket. We will be free to vote for
either of the other party candidates,
and as neither of them can vote in con-
gress on any partisan question we do
1 not compromise our political convic
tions by a vote for either The

-Perry Enterprise Times.
Anyone reading the industrial jour-
nals cannot fail to notice the generally
satisfactory condition of the business
of the country—great activity in man-
ufacturing and production, large bank
clearings, large savings deposits,
heavy government receipts, coupled
with a small number of failures and
light- liabilities. The continuing dem-
ocratic announcement that our pros-
perity is “only temporay” is simply
