Outlook for Whitwell Fine
in Logan and Payne
Counties
.John S. Allau arrived home Sun
day afternoon from a two ilays t rip
filling platform dates for E. <>.
Whitwell in Logan and I'aynej
counties. At Orescent about 500
people turned out mi the first da>
of a two days celebration and at
Perkins an Saturday a crowd esli-
mated at from 1500 to 2,000 people
turned out to celebrate and were
drenched by an all afternoon down-
pour of rain. The speakers were
routed but the corn crop was saved
by a 2-inch down-pour of rain and
loads of people drenched to the
skin, left in the rain for home hap-
py and really rejoicing. The at-
tendance at both places was made
up almost wholly of farmers and
their families and candidates out
for fried chicken and votes.
The sentiment among the people
on the governorship race seemed
to he strongest for Robertson in
both counties, with Herring a se-
cond choice at Orescent with West
second at Perkins. Iu the congres-
sional race, at Crescent any man
to beat Thompson, with strong be-
lief that Whitwell was the man,
and who had left on all he came in
contact, a splendid impression. In
Perkins, the sentiment was strong,
in fact practically unanimous for a
man to beat Weaver, with Whit-
well or Ross as the man to do it.
At this point a few men were found
favorable to Thompson, no doubt,
for the reason that ".loe was a big
stock holder in a National bank
and a corporation lawyer and just
naturally could not help but be
friendly towards the interests of
the farmers in congress. At both
points more men seemed to be
working for Whitwell and making
inquiry about him, than for any
of the other candidates. Both
Thompson and Weaver had some
active opposition and Ross was not
known having never visited either
section.

Combatting Poultry Pests
The approach of wann weather j
brings with it the usual increase
and annoyance of the pests of the
poultry yard—the mites. One of |
the best mixtures to use in coin- j
batting mites. One of the best
mixtures to use in combatting mit-
es is kerosene emulsion. It it made
by mixing two gallons of kerosene
oil, one-half pound of whale oil
soap, one quart home-made soft
soap, and one gallon of water. Dis-
solve the soap byboilingthe water,
then remove from the fire and add
the kerosene at once. Churn the
mixture rapidly and violently un-
til it is as smooth as beaten cream.
One part, of emulsion to several
parts of water is used to dilute the
mixture for application to buildings
dropping boards or nest boxes.
Add one or two ounces of carbolic
acid to the emulsion just before

Old Settlers Take Notice —
The old settlers of Cleveland and

time is growing close when we are
to make this selection.
Oklahoma is regarded as one of
the brightest states iu the union,
therefore let us send a man to con-
gress who will be one of Oklaho-
inn's brightest stars, a star that
will relied light over every state in
union, a man brave enough to es-
pouse the prohibition cause A
man who will shoot cannon balls
into the dens of the opposition and
shake the sandy foundation on
which they stand. A man who has
convictions for the right and cour-
age to tight for those principles
which he believes to be for the bet-
ter interest, of his fellow-man. A
man who has fought, in his own
state to emancipate the drunkard
and to abolish the incubaters of
crime. A man who contributed his
his share to help make Oklahoma
20,000 prohibition majority. A
man who communicates in prayer
to that invisible Cod who helps to
i rule the destiny of nations.

Power of a Pew Men
There is no difficulty in account-
ing for the present condition of the
country. Three groups of men
having their headquarters in New-
York have been shown, through in-
terlocking directorates and inter-
locking control, to have the direc-
tion of approximately $22,000,000,-
000 of property, and practically to
have the control over nearly every
railroad in the country and every-
one of the great industrials- Those
men can forbid the railroads to buy
rails, to buy steel cars, to buy rail-
road frogs and switches, to buy
lumber, and to buy crosstios; those
men can put out, employment thous-
ands and tens of thousands of men ;
those men who can constrict credits
in the districts of Representatives
who are to be elected in the fall
and in the States of Senators who
are to be elected in the fall; they
can by their power make hard times
in districts where they want, to
have a change and where they want
to defeat those in sympathy with
a correction of condition, whether
those candidates be Democrats or
