W. H. McKenzie, son of Dr. McKen-
/.ie, departed this morning for Mem-
phis, Tenn., where he will enter the
Medical College at that city.
The republican administration at
Washington has never been friendly
to Oklahoma, unless there is a party
advantage in it. They hold the in-
terest of their party above the inter-
est of the American people.

BIG REPUBLICAN FIZZLE AT WAU-
KOMIS.
Jim Kershaw is making hay while
the sun shines. He has already given
it out cold and without reserve that
the Hon. Bose Tilton late city Mar-
shall is to be his under Sheriff in case
of election. Jim and Bose will make
a team hard to smother under the
statoots.
In his speech here yesterday Dennis j Last Saturday Flynn and Judge
Flynn dwelt at length on the record i Garber were billed to address the peo-
of Callahan in congress. He redicul-
ed Callahan and the people of Okla-
homa who sent him there. But, he
failed to tell his audience that dur-
ing Callahan's term in congress, he,

Washington and during Callahan's

and Cha.?. Moore,the merchant prince
of Waukomis, were very diligent
in having the town properly trimmed
with the national colors for the wel-
coming of the great and only Dennis.

as hard a light against free homes for
Oklahoma as ever was made. He
tramped all around the halls of con-

sentatives and senators not to let the
Callahan free home bill pass, for, said
he, "if you do Oklahoma will always
be a democratic territory; you will
korriis and put up Hags and bills an
nour.cing the coming of Dennis. Quite
a crowd of the g. o. p. faithful came
in to hear the little boss, but Dennis
failed to make his appearance; neith-
er did Garber show up for some rea-
son or other; it was reported late in
the afternoon that Garber was sick,
The Epworth League will give a
Halloween social at the home of D.
W. Eastman, one biock north of the
Methodist church. Witches, hob-
goblins and ghosts will be present and
serve you to apples, pop-corn and
pumpkin pie, but the goblins will get
you if you don't bring fifteen cents.
Everybody invited.
Dennis Flynn's speech yesterday in-
dicated that all roads lead to Home
and when a pilgrim reaches Home he
cannot get anything without the aid
of Flynn. Nobody ever did anything
for Oklahoma but Flynn. Any repub-
lican who was not for Flynn should be
read out of the republican party. He
even became so bold as to roast John
Buckles, a man that has done more
for the republican party of Garfield
county, at least, than most any
other republican in it.
Sam Cox, who lives in Jefferson
Grant County carries an accident
policy in the Fidelity Mutual Aid
Association. Last winter a horse
steped on his foot and the company
was compeled to pay him $60. Early
last spring he broke a finger which
cost the company $20. Last month he
fell from a load of hay and broke two
ribs and on Oct 10 he received a
check for $40. The company has con"
eluded to keep a body guard with Cox
all the time believing the guard will
cost them les3 than tlft losses on Cox
taking care of himself.
The voters are out, in Garfield
county, this year, strictly for busi-
ness. They have at last absorbed the
great political axiom "Eternal vigil-
ance is the price of liberty." This
great political truth has been forced
upon him and he is lead to consider
whether it is better for his hard
earned cash to go into the capacious
maw of the republican grafter or be
used to supply daily necessities for
the loved ones of his own household.
Every instinct of his better nature
calls upon him to cast his ballot in
the protection of his home, knowing
that when he is protected the whole
people are likewise protected.
A large rich commonwealth, econ-
omical government, low taxes and
anti-class legislation is guaranteed
to every voter by the democratic
party.
Judge Chas. Lorian Moore will be
elected Probate Judge this fall by
a mojority large enough to set asside
any republican chicanery to set the
verdict of the people aside. The
Wave calls him Judge Moore because
he is entitled to the honor. He was
electedtwo years ago, but was beaten
out of his office by a republican
returning board.
His opponent this year is Judge Mil-
ton Garber,a very good citizen, a fair
lawyer and a man who, if left alone,
would do about what is right, accord-
ing to his judgment, if elected, but
he ie a corporation lawyer. He has
been the local attorney of the Rock
Island railroad company at Garber.
He was identiied and interested with
saiu railroad company in the town-
ite of Garber. Heows all his pre-
ferment in politics and his nomina-
tion for Probate Judge to the in-
fluence of said railroad. Th's being
true; suppose that a farmer's calf,
horse, cow or other animal is killed
by the Rock Island railroad company
and the case comes before Garber as
Probate Judge. You would'nt get a
cent of damage and he would pro-
bably tell you in his decision that
your calf, horse or cow had no bu9i
ness fooling around the railroad
track. See'
never see me or any other republican but whether he was sick from natural
delegate here again." : or artificial spiritual causes was not
He never let up on his fight against i stated. The Enid tend boys were
the Callahan free home bill. If Den-) there and they kept the crowd happy
nis Flynn had had the best interests
of the people of Oklahoma at heart,
instead of his own selfish interests,
he would have assisted Callahan get-
ting the bill through, instead of fight
ing it. These are historical facts.
The democrats and pops stood up for
the bill, first, last and all the time
during the Callahan term in congress
and during all of Flynn's terms. The
democratic party is always the friend
of the common people. The republi-
can p:.rty is eternally legislating for
the good of the party instead of the
good of the country and tiiey openly
boast of the fact.
Dennis Flynn and the republican
party are responsible for the free
homes bill ejot passing two years be-
fore it did finally pass, which would
have been a saving to hundreds of
homesteaders who proved up and paid
the government price. Callahan was
not to blame for his failure to pass
the free homes bill; Dennis Flynn
was more to blame than any other
one man on earth. He knew that if
Callahan passed the bill, he, Flynn,
would be a back number forever.
What did Flyna do for Oklahoma in
the last session of congress? He se-
cured the passage of a bill tying the
hands of the next legislature in mak-
ing any appropriation for much need
ed public buildings or locating any
public buildings. He pulled the Om-
nibus statehood bill through the house
through the aid of the democratic
minority in the house as a majority
of his own party were against admit-
ting Oklahoma. He tied the bill up
in the senate until after the election
against the protest of every democra-
tic senator, hence, he is wholly re-
spon ible tor the carrying over of the
bill until the next session of con-
gress. If Dennis Flynn tells the
truth himself we would now be organ-
izing a state government under the
Omnibus bill. Therefore, dear read-
er, can you figure how and where the
democratic party is to blame for the
procrastination of statehood for Ok-
lahoma. Vote for honest Bill Cross
and statehood.
ON THE GROUND FLOOR.
The city council who are robbing
the city at the rate of one dollar per
year salary each have rented the old
postoffice building, which is a very
good move as it places the city gov-
ernment on the ground lloor for once,
centrally located, but the council it-
self can not be expected to do a
ground lloor business for the city.
They seem to be in office to wreak
revenue and pass out rewards. Woe
be unto the newspaper that dares
criticize that august plug hat body.
Said newspaper will be forever cast
out and "circumcized" from any of
the little stinking half pay printing
in their gift. The Wave would
rather,a thousand times rather,g rasp
the privilege of justly criticising
that great, costly and trifling body
than to have all the half price print-
ing in their sensitive gift.

Late in the evening a local auction-
eer who knew jiU of Dennis Flynn's
speaches arose and repeated one of
them. Waukomis is to small a town
for such renowned men as Flynn and
Garber.
AL LINCOLN THE NEXT TREASURER.
The Wavk has listened to much
conversation on the city streets
touching the candidacy of A1 Lincoln
for County Treasurer and it is very
nearly all favorable to Mr. Lincoln..
The popularity he holds among his
neighbors has spread all over the
county since he began his canvas.
The geniality of his courteous dis-
position appears on the surface of all
his coversation besides his inteligence
and fitness for the place he seeks is
marked. Albert L. Lincoln van born
in Prebble County Ohio in 1855. In
his infancy his parents moved to
Iowa. In 1870 he started out in the
world for himself and settled
Cherokee County, Kansas, where he
accumulated a real good farm which
he sold and moved west to Clark Co.
Kansas in 1886. He made the run in-
to the strip in 1893 and secured a tine
farm 5i miles west of Kremliu where
he has since resided and he has one of
the best improved farms in the
county. He is the head of a large
and well respected family.
He has been a very succesful hard
working farmer. He has never been a
candidate for any office in the gift of
his fellow citizens until he received
the democratic nomination for
County Treasurer.
Mr. Al. L. Lincoln is just such tinr
ber as the farmers need in the treas-
urer's office. He knows the troubles
and vexations of his brother farmers;
he will be courteous and kind to them
in the collection of taxas. Lincoln's
majority will be away up about the
400 line.

A Republican Tribute to Porter.
El Meno, Oct. 27, 1902
To the Editor of the Wave:
I have been informed that there is
for some reason a strong tight being
put up on C. V. Porter for sheriff in
your county. I wish to say that it is
a great surprise to his friends all
over the territory for we feel that an
officer like Charlie Porter should hold
his office just as long as he wants it
for he is recognized all over the ter-
ritory as one of the very best officers
that we have. He is a tireless work-
er and devotes his entire time to the
work with the best success, I think,
of any sheriff in the territory. I have
been associated with him a great deal
recognizing him as the leader of the
Sheriff's Association of the territory
made him president two years ago
and re-elected him one year ago and
I will assure the people of your coun-
ty that if re-elected he will maintain
his position at the head of the list.
The only fault I have had with Mr.
Porter is his politics; I am a republi-
can but I think that if there is an of-
fice in the county where politics
should be laid aside and the man sup-
ported; it is this office, for the duties
of this office are not all written in
books, nothing but practical exper-
ience can ever make a good officer
and in C. V. Porter, Garfield Co. has
a man that the entire territory is
proud of and I assure the people of
Garfield Co. that every sheriff of the
territory, regardless of politics is in-
terested in his election.
Yours Respectfully,
A. A. Cosby,
Sheriff Canadian Co.
The Wave reporter is frequently
asked "when is the Frisco going to
give us the division and shops they
have promised"? The people must
have patience at the present time
as the Frisco line extends only to
Okeene,hence,there is only one divis-
ion between Beaumont and Okeene,
but when the Frisco people become
the owners of the Bess line between
Okeene apd Vernon Texas they will
establish the division point in Enid
as promised and the shops will soon
follow. It takes time to build rail
roads and carry out projects.

ple of Oklahoma most of the time but
he cannot fool the people of Enid at
