Thin Is the comparative fitness of

the v. tors of Logan county for Its
most Important office. One has
every qualification to render excep-

but one requisite—that of honesty.

where the neglect of any responsibil-
ity would not affect his Individual
\ dl-helng.
The Slate Cnpltnl makes this per-
son;?! crltictHni. not with a motive to
harm Mr. Poland, but simply that the
people of Logan county may know
the relative worth of the two candi-
dates. It tdkes into consideration only
those qualities which make or dlsba.-
the man from being valuable to the
public as an off clal.

POLITICAL PRIMS KOTEH.
Arapahoe Bee: The voter will not
be slow to forget his vote for Flynn
in 1898. It came the nearest being a
paying Inceatment all along the lino
the average voter ever paw in poli-
tics, and the average voter is grateful.
Cushing Herald: Dennis "Flynn will
roll up a greater majority In Cushing
and Union township than he got two
years a*o. Union was the banner
township of Payne county and will
be again. The name Union Is appro-
priate because it stands for Flynn,
Oklahoma and the Union.
Tecumseh Republican! The fusion
press is resorting to every means to
defeat Hon. D. T. Flynn for congress.
A lost cause Is the only thing that
would tempt them to make an appeal
to voters against Mr. Flynn and Hon.
J. <C. Pringey by misrepresenting what
these two gentlemen have said In re-
gard to mixed schools. Honorable
democrats and populists as well as
republicans, cannot be made to listen
to such rash statements as these or-
gans are now crediting either these
gentlemen with uttrelng. Fairness and
honesty in politics commands the
same respect ss It does in business,
and honest voters will repudiate a
falsehood at the polls.

In these two Instances the fuslon-

Colonel Forrest was introduced by F.
M. Jaji the chairman of tho Neff coun-
ty central committee. The colonel de-
voted all his tline to national Issues,
shunning local and territorial affairs en-
tirely. His principal topic was tho ' Sub-
jugation or tho Philippine Islanders by
Tyrant McKlnley."
"The islanders aro capable of self-gov-
ernment," said tho colonel, but added,
"I do not want them brought Into th •**
United States as citizens, for they are a
know-nothing class of people."
He defended Jefferson's purchase of
Louisiana by saying that at that tlmo
nobody lived on the land purchased.
When reminded that It was tho home of
many Indlilns, he crawfished by answer-
Ing—"well, who ever knew an Indian
tliat amounted to anything?"
"Tho republican party," continued th
colonel, "Is composed of tyrants who aro
seeking to control the Philippine as
In the dark ages people were controlled
by tyrant kings." But ho said nothing
