county. The people in Cleveland
county know from his two years' ex-
perience in the newspaper business
here that he never tells the truth
until forced to do so, and because the
editor of this paper kept Tom's hide
in the tanyard during all of the time
| he was in the newspaper business in
Norman explains his great antipathy
towards Allan. Tom is known here
as a great bluffer and wager on elec-
tions, provided he thinks no one is
around to call his hand, and while in
Norman last week he took occasion to
try to bluff certain People's Party
men on the vote Allan would receive
in Cleveland county. He started in
on a bluff ol 2">0 votes, was called,
backed out and raised the bluff to .too!
was again called, backed out and
raised bluff to f.00. was called, backed
out and kept raising and backing out
until finally he offered to bet fifty
cents, provided he could borrow it,
that Allan would not poll more than
two-thirds of the votes cast in Cleve
land county. Tom's wind and gall are
his only remarkable features in thi..
county and they are simply wonderful.
In last week's D.-T. we notice the
announcement of John Franing as an
Independent Democratic candidate
for the Legislature in the 10th Legis-
lative District. This makes four can-
didates striving for the honor of rep-
resenting the 20th District in the next
legislative assembly. Mr. Franing
feels that he was unjustly cheated
out of the regular Democratic nomi-
nation at Burnett and rather than
suffer slaughter he withdrew at Bur-
nett before a nomination was made,
announcing that he would stand as an
Independent candidate and not abide
by what might be the result of the
Burnett convention.

The Sheriffs' Eace.
I lie way certain Democrats are
boosting the candidacy of S. B. Craig,
tlie Republican for sheriff, tfives much
ground for suspicion that it is not be-
cause they hate Craig less but Ioye
Smith more. The actionof a few Re-
publicans in Norman, who are known
to be friendly to Smith, working so
hard for Craig, should also cau.se some
Republicans to put on their thinking
caps. It is a well known fact to most
of the Republicans inthlscounty that
certain Republicans who always talk
vote the Republican ticket straight,
are strongly suspicioned of voting
very crooked on election day. Nearly
every Republican who has been a
candidate has had his suspicions
aroused that there are many IU-pub-
licans around Norman who don't vote
.is they talk. There are Re publicans
in Norman today, who to talk with
you would think them the strongest
kind of Craig men, who have told cer-
tain parties that they would spend
money to elect Geo. Smith sheriff.
They are simply Smith men in Craig
disguise.
We think, however, thai t hey have
worked the county Republicans once
too often, and this year, while the
smoothe guys are sticking their bal-
lots into tile ballot box for Smith and
chuckling to themselves because the
county Republicans are sticking their
ballots in for Craig, the county Re-
publicans will just be as smoothe this
year and stick their ballots in for L.

C. W. Miller, formerly engaged in

by being here, as Mr. Miller and one !

own and his father's family.
We notice the Democrat and Fusion
papers are figuring out handsome
majorities in nearly all the counties
in the Territory for Judge Neff. Two
j years ago they figured like majori-
ties for Judge Ifeaton. The figures,
however, were not borne out by the
| election returns. If Judge Neff car-
ries a single county in this Territory
it will be a great surprise even to his
own camnaiirn committee.
It is reported that R. LeFors has a
promise from Judge Neff of a sheriff's
office in one of the new counties to be
organized out of the Kiowa and Com-
manche country. If this report be
true it may explain the deep interest
Mr. LeFors is taking in Judge Neff's
campaign in this county. It is i
promise not worth a cent for it is de
pendent upon Bryan and Neff's elec-
tion and the country not opening to
j settlement until after Governor
! Barnes goes out of office. The country
is very likely to open early next
spring under McKinley and Barnes
and Republicans will be the first ap-
pointive officers of the new counties.

A Good Point Lost.
An amusing anecdote is told on At-
torney W. J. Jackson, of this city. It
is said that one morning, about the
time the city schools opened, Mr.
Jackson on his way down town met a
youngster of six on his way to school.
"flood morning, son," siiid the
lawyer.
"Morning,"answered the boy.
"Going to school, are yon, son?"
continued the lawyer, reach!nir down
and taking the boy's book in his own
hands and thoughtfully turning the
leaves. "Yes, primmer, nice little
book, you should study hard, son;
obey your teacher, always bring up
good lessons, get through this book and
be ready for the next one. That's
the way to become a great man; some
day you may be called upon toserve
as president—(to himself-of a Dem-
ocratic club) and then you should be a
learned man."
Small Boy—"Yep, my pa's a Dim-
mycrat, and when he seen me tnrnin'
han -springs an' summer-sets back-
erds, better n the other boys could, he
jest laffed an'said if 1 kep' on that
way 'time I was grown I'd be a per-
feck Wolf, an but the lawyer was
gone, and the small boy still wonders
what it was that broke such ii pleas-
Jiiit conversation so suddenly.
The New Country.
Speaking of the opening, Agent
Randlett said there were leases made
with the cattlemen that did not ex-
pire until Mnrch .'11 next year, and as
it is especially stated in the bill
opening the country, that these leases
are not to be abrogated, the earliest
day in which the opening could occur,
would be April 1, 1901. So that it
would simply be a waste of time and
money for people to come and stay
on the border, hoping for an earlier
opening day.
Tried to Get Away.
Walter Douglass, one of the three
that were sent to jail last week, tried
to get away.
Jailer Appleby had trusted him on
the outside to assist in doinf " some
work about the jail, and the first
time he caught the guard'n back
turned he made a break to yet away.
Newblock got a horse at once, and
caught bim about a mile from town.
He will hardly be trusted aga in'
