FRANKLIN ITI'.MS
The Republicans have never been
able to regard the farmer as they do
other business men, or to treat the
farmer's business as they do other
business. The whole legislative re-
cord of the party shows this; the line
of argument used to the farmer by
their speakers and In their campaign
literature shows it.
The latest and most remarkable In-
stance of tliis is the preachment they
arc now putting out that the settle-
ment of the strige by President Wil-
son was of no value to the farmer
and that a great burden in the way
of increased freight rates will fall
upon his shoulders.
There is no basis for either asser-
tion.
Speaking of potatoes Mrs. Hoover! The strlke wouU1 "ot Iiave caused
of (he sair.e udghborhood had for tl,e farmer to ac tually suffer for rood
I or for fuel as the poor in cities would
have suffered. But his business
would have suffered.
With the railroad traffic of the na-
tion blocked the farmer's business
would have suffered alonu with all
other business in some ways more.
He would have seen his grain, his
corn, his cotton, all his staple pro-
ducts, held on the farm or running
up storage charges in warehouses, of
no present use or value, and to be
later sold in an impaired market.

CLARK l't M s IWMIWTIOX
W. R. Clark, democratic nominee
for county superintendent, whose
certificate was revoked some weeks
ago, comment upon which is un-
necessary, as every one understands
the incident, went to Custer county
last week where he passed the re-
quired examination for a first grade
certificate, which he now has in his
possession, entitling him to teach
school and to hold the office of
county superintendent.
Mr. Clark received a very hand-
some majority in the August nri-
itiary, and we predict for him a
splendid majority in the election on
November 7th. and we further pre-
dict that lie will n(St only make as
good superintendent of schools of
Cleveland county as we have been
used to, but that he will j'i e Is

TOW KAMVODA COMMITS
M ICIIM:
Anton Kaiivoda, 62 years old, shot
his wife and killed himself at their
farm near Moore Tuesday. Kaiivoda
was a Bohemian farmer and is be-
lieved to have become crazed over
brooding on the hardships caused by
the European war.
Early in the afternoon an auto
party from Oklahoma City was pas-
sing the Kaiivoda farm 2 miles east
of Moore and found Mrs. Christina
Kaiivoda lying by the road bleeding!
from a wound in her side. Unable
to speak English plainly she could I
not explain and was taken to the
house of a Bohemian nearby. There
she exclaimed, "Pap shot me and 1
thing has killed himself."
Double Means employed.
Her son. Jim, who lives a few
miles away was called and took his
mother to Oklahoma City where she
was placed in a hospital. Neighbors
went to the Kaiivoda home and found
the father with his throat cut. A
pistol had torn away half his face.
Piecing together the story told by
signs about the house, the neighbors
believe that Kaiivoda suddenly at-
tacked his wife in the house and
shot her, then turned the gun on
himself. Evidently death did not
come immediately, although Kaiivo-
da dropped to the floor. He got to
his feet and securing a razor .from a
dresser walked about a hundred
yards from the house and cut his
throat.
1(1 J'ears in Mine.
Kaiivoda and his wife came to this
country from Bohemia after he had
worked 10 years in a mine and had
risen to a minor official position.
Until the war interrupted the mails
he received a monthly pension from
a Bohemian mining company. The
elder Kalivodas have three sons, Jim,
a prosperous farmer near Moore; Ol-
drich, a farmer living south of Okla-
City, and Anton jr., a black-
nt Wheatland.
Kaiivoda is expected to sur-
Kalivoda was buried in the
cemetery.

He would have seen fruit and veg-
etables ami all perishable produce
rot for lack of transportation to
market- a dead loss to him, and a
disorganized market at the end.
Those farmers who are feeders of
live-stock and who depend in part on
purchased foodstuff would have suf-
fered extra losses.
The farmer would have suffered
inconvenience and loss as to every-
thing he ships to market and as to
everything he buys from other
points.
And in addition to this loss, he,
too, with the rest of the population,
would have suffered from the disas-

country brought about by the strike.

For two years the Intestate Coni-
j merce Commission has been having
J made a physical valuation of the
| railroad property in the United
States. Upon its actual value and
I not upon their watered stocks are
j taxes and freight rates to be compu-
ted and based. The question of ju>t
| and fair freight rates is already be-
ing carefully ^investigated by the
commission and will be investigated
by Congress when it meets in De-
cember. The railroads are going to
be allowed to charge just fr
rates and their sucee
is of so much value, s-
the well being of the
no good business man
chant, miner or manufacturer, is go-
ing to begrudge them the right.
The position and the arguments to
the Republicans exemplify and prove
f their total inability and continued
J refusal to view the farmer in his
true position in American life a
business man: that there is a pro-
ducing end to his business as to that
of the miner or manufacturer: that
there is a selling end to his business
as to others, a financial phase to his
business ' as to others; that as a
shipper and as a receiver of freight
' lie stands in the same shoes as Hie
other shippers and receivers.
And a main fundamental differ-
once now between the two parties is
that the Democrats under Wilson
have recognized the farmer's real

so far received indicate that a ma-
jority of the progressives are flock-
ing to the republican standard. The
claim, however, that 80 percent of
the progressives would vote for
Hughes is not hourne out by the
figures collected hy the Kxamiuer.
Mr. Wilson to date has apparently
coralled at least 10 percent of the

Congressman A. F. Lever, of South

evening on the issues of the cam-

Mr. Lever has been a member of
congress for the past sixteen years
end gave a splendid account of his
work during that time, also made a
Hue comparison of the great work
that had been accomplished during
the past three and a half years of a
democratic congress with a democrat-
ic president, showing that more con-
structive legislation had been enacted
during that small period of time than
for ti ft v years before, under a repub-
lican rule.
In glowing words lie praised Presi-
dent Wilson for keeping us out of war
with warring Europe and Mexico. He
also predicted the re-election of Mr.
Wilson by an overwhelming major-

In talking with Mr. Hoggs about
the political situation, he says Wil-
son was the general topic every-
where. He says practically every
man he talked to in Wiseonisn and
throughout the trip was boosting for
Wilson „and that he never met a far-

was not a supporter or Wood row Wil-

the politicians in Wisconsin and Illi-
