I I'reasurer Have- with issu'nga check
• lie cmnty funds in the hands of
the American State Bank for the
sum of $1,700
I'h. item reached this office from
toe outride .is campaign matter, eini-
n.aing from the Democratic cam-
paun committee and veiilied to the
editor, in person, by responsible
people who agreed to substantiate
the same in any court if necessary.
No* comes Oscar Hayes, to the
vvk. i>iiu-c !■'« Tn'trniu"-, in a 4'eace-
ab e m inner declaring that there was
no tiuih in the allegation and he
a oil that the Wave retract the
.->; iteioe t as published, as itdidhim
a*i inj-.stice as well as a great injury
in his campaign for re-election.
The Wave, not wishing to let the
allegation stand against Mr. Hayes
if not true, promised to investigate
tie matter thoroughly at the Am-
erican State Bank upon which the
alleged check for 51,700 was given
upon the county funds.
We find that Mr. Hayes had a
personal account with the Bank
amounting to about $500, and that
the $1,i00 check issued by Grimes
c ""oat; Mr. Hayes's deputy, to pay
note given to the Citizen's Batik,
which was protested, was either a
check on the county funds in said
Bank or an overdraft.
Mr. John Cook, the cashier of the
Bank, very kindly allowed the Wave
man and one of the Democratic
campaign commitree to examine the
Bank record 011 this matter. The
record shows that Mr. Hayes was car
rying a personal account with the
Hank with his personal note, but at
the time the $1,700 check was given
the Bank held only $500 on deposit
from Hayes.
The check given by Sproat in be-
half of Hayes, during his absence in
Kansas h.d been destroyed. The Bank
turned it over to Mr. Hayes in bal-
anceing up his Bank account, and Mr.
Hayes says he kept it a little while
somewhere, but it was destroyed.
Grimes Sproat declared that the
check was not signed by Grimes
Sproat "Deputy," which would indi-
cate its correctness as a regnlar
check from the county treasurer's
office, but simply : Oscar Hayes, per
Sproat.
Those from whom the accusation
in the Wave originated are
just as sure that it
was signed: Grimes Sproat Deputy,
The destruction of the check shuts
out positive evidence in the case as
presented in the Wave, However,
as Mr. Hayes and his bankers show a
elear sheet, the issuing of the check
bv Grimes Sproat was probably an
error which misled the Wave's
vouchers in thiscase. We are willing
to give Mr. Hayes the benefit of the
doubt.

ANOTHER FIRE.
Saturday night last about 10 o'clock
tho fire bell sounded once more,
Prompting a rapid stampede.
The light of the flames appeared in
the northeast in^the rear of Randolph
& Mehew's barn again. It proved to
be a little old pioneer shack on lot 9,
block 28, Jonesville audition. The
firemen soon knocked the Jflre out of
tkel little old shack, but It made a big
light while It was burning. No one
know* how the Are caught,-but It
•ecms to be generally believed to be
the work of a Are bug.
The republican board of county
cnnmis-ooiH rs have failed ' vp'aii
why they rebated the taxes for thi
year 1904 on the Enid Opera House,
owned by a ptivate coi peratioi; l< r
private gain. This Opera House,
Co. during the year of 19o:i and part
of 1904 rented this same property to
the Enid school district for $300. anr
the district was compeled to do plumb
ing work at a cost of $115 and when
the commencement execises came
along the bo. rd was taxed $35 for
two nights making a grand total of
*510, the Enid school district was
compeled to pay this soleless cor
poration, whose building was ex-
empted from taxa'ion for the year
1903 The Wave, and some
democratic speakers, have
charged the board with fraud in re-
mitting the taxes 011 this building,
without authority of law, for the
last month, bnt not a republican
speaker, republican newspaper, 01
the county commissioners have come
forward witn any excuse whatever
of this high handed discrimination
in taxation. If the Enid Opera House
i-ex-mpt from taxation, so is any
and every farm and cottage house in
the County. The Wave, or no one
outside of Hodgden, Epley, Davis and
the management of the Enid Clu ,
the Corporation owning the property
knows why the taxes were remitted
The Wave don't know. Neither does
any one explain. The county records
show much that is mysterious, view-
ed from both a legal and business
light
It is quite evident tbat the coun.y
expenses must be cut down. If the
present board is re-elected their
policy in conducting the affairs of
the County will have been sustained
and no economy can be expected.

BOUGHT IT PIECE AT A TIME.
Guthrie Alderman Get Wjgo.i anJ Git
Around $509 Limit.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct.31.—City Attor-
ney James Hepburn and the city
council are at war over the recent
purchase of a lire wagon, By the
conditions of an old franchise the
council is prohibited from buying
anything to cost more than $500 with-
out advertising for bids. Recently,
however, the city fathers took a fan-
cy to a fire wagon valued at ti.000.
They began to lay schemes and finally
decided to buy It a piece at a time so
as to not violate the ordinance. The
tongue, wheels, and finnally the
main part of the vehicle were pur-
chased separately each for less than
1500. This was about two weeksago.
Yesterday a runaway occured and
the tine wagon was almost totally
demolished. Notr the city attorney,
who from the first prouounced the
transaction Illegal, Is making life
unpleasant for the members of Jthe
council.
A UNITED OEM0CRAGY.
The Democrats are united as they
u.-.vo not been before for ten years, and
Parker and Davis will receive the
normal vote of the party with a good
many recruits from their opponents.
The Republicans are split into fac-
tions on several issues. Nearly all the
old Hanna machine men are dis-
gruntled as they see a young element
of their party in the saddle, and they
will not pull hard on the traces unless
they are paid for their work either in
money or promises. In West Virginia,
Delaware, New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts and Wisconsin the rival
Republican factions are intent on de-
feating each other, and one or the
other faction have no faith in or love
for candidate Roosevelt, though most
of them declare publicly they will vote
for him, but many will secretly knife
him. In these and other States tliera
are minor factions, and important Re-
publicans who, while keeping within
party lines, are opposed to their candi-
date for President and do not mind
saying so in private conversation, i He
glamor of the Rough Rider lias worn
oft, and the business interests of the
country have more weight in politics
than the imperialistic element.
That Is the great danger to the
Rough Rider. The farmers have dis-
covered that the trusts are bleeding
them and that the high price of wheat
Is more than offset by the increased cost
of what they buy. The workingmen
are organizing politically for their pro-
tection, for the Republican majority in
Congress refused to listen to their
prayer for legislation for the Eight
Hour bill, the anit-injunction bill and
the other lesser laws labor thinks nec-
essary for its salvation. All the Re-
publican leaders favor the open shop,
and most of them are openly In
syfhpathy with the parry organization
of protected trusts and manufacturers.
Wages are being reduced and strikes
are numerous, and the cost of living
is still advancing, which does not in-
spire confidence in the economic poli-
cies of the Republican party of those
who are suffering from loss of wages
and increased cost of food.
The trusts have decreased the profits
of the small storekeepers, while rents
and household expenses are higher
than ever before, and the opportunities
for increased business are monopolized
by the great department stores, who
can purchase of the trusts at much less
man the small storekeeper has to pay,
People with limited incomes find
their expenses have increased while
the'r revenues arc stationary. All these
people are inquiring why the trust*
should be protected by the tariff In
selling their products at the highest
possible price here and a much lower
price in foreign countries. Many of
the voters have discovered that the
tariff prevents competition and fosters
monopoly, and that the increased cost
for their products that the monopolies
charge Is a much greater tax than the
Government receives.
The revenues of the United States
are declining and the expenses are
greater than ever before in time of
peace. Not only have the expenses of
the Government increased much (aster
in proportion than the population, but
neither President Roosevelt, his Cab-
inet, nor the Republican majority in
Congress have offered any solution of
the problem, but are all intent on
"letting well enough alone" and hare
paralyzed the Industries of the coun-
try with a do-nothing policy by fighting
all proposals for reform.
The uovernment departments are ex-
travagant and filled with graftera
which the Republican party has re-
fused to Investigate, although evidence
was plentiful that but a beginning had
been made In exposing the frauds
through a partisan Investigation of but
two bureaus of the Post Office Depart-
ment.
Knowledge of all these sins of the
Rtpubllcan Party Is finding lodgment
in the hearts of many voters, and they
have determined on a charge. Upon
tke surface of the political field all la
still and Berene, but there are mutter-
Ings in the homes of the farmers, the
cottages of the artisan and the tene-
ments of the laboring men thai bodes
111 for the Republican candidates. The
still small voice of reason is working
more changes of sentiment than the
hired and blatant notes of the trust
apologist can overcome, blare he never
(o loudly, and there la a quiet deter-
mination to "turn the rascals out."
Mr. Bryan spoke to ten acres of

THF OLD GANG AT WORK
TRYING TO PULL THINGS
THEIR OLD TINE WAY.
It is quite apparent from talk,
numerous signs and actual evidence
that Bcauchamp. Denton, Iienshaw,
Linden, Watkins, Kennedy &
Co., the Citizen Hank wrecker* are
trying to get their own choice of men
or men they think they can control,
In the management of county affairs,
more particularly the courts, where
they will soon be compelled to answer
to many deeds done in the body. Strict
party lines dont cut so much tigurc
with this crowd as the safety of one
anothers liberty, or interests.
The democratic party should cut
loose from this gang entirely. The
management and democratic candi-
dates should call la meeting, fome-
timf|th\« week,and tell the people t hat
the movements of this crowd, In any
direction, Is not,or cannot be sustain-
ed by the party or Its candidates, cut-
ting loose from It entirely by a public
outspoken declaration.
Democrats are quite scarce la the
gang and their work In the Interest

dates is dangerous to the whole ticker
as it smack- of trade and vlllinous
political protection and traffic foi
