The Post Is authorized to announce
that I;edm Guthrie Is a candidate tor
congressman from the Second Con-
gressional district of Oklahoma sub-
ject to the action of the republican
nominating conventions.
We are authorized to announce the
candidacy of Mr. O. A. Mitseher for
congressman from the Second district,
subject to the decision of the repub-
lican nominating convention.
to retain all the seats they have In
the house, hut -we will remain In con-
trol of the sixtieth congress. This we
are sure of. At the last election we
had President Roosevelt on the ticket,
and no real democrat against him.
Por this reason we carried a number
of strictly democratic districts that we
had no more right to than some one
beside the president to Sagamore Hill.
While we expect to lose some of these
districts, the republican members who
hold them now feel confident In every
Instance of re-election."
This is a fair estimate of the reptile
llcan outlook In the campaign of 11)0(1.

BETTER ROADS.
Nothing will add more to the Im-
mediate wealth of a new country than
, « system of good roatls. It Is unnoces
eary to argue tho point, the fact, being
generally conceded, yet all new coun-
tries and many old ones aro cursed
with the most wretched roads Imagin-
able. The loss to the farmers and
merchants, the ruination of stock and
vehicles and the money wasted in con
stantly putting up for temporary re
■pairs would annually construct a score
of miles of perfect turnpikes. But
there can be no good roads without
good road-builders to make them. One
trouble has been that when the weath-
er was good the roads did not need Im
provement and when the bad weather
came It was Impossible to get to them.
It Is the story or the "Arkansas Trav-
eler" over again. In the new state
every precaution should be taken that
the matter of good roads be given a
fnrpmost place In the consideration
of the commonwealth's most pressing
needs. There should be a state road
commission and the roads of the state
Improved systematically and scientif-
ically. ThlB will require the supervis-
ion of an experienced road engineer,
surveys, estimates, etc., to be made
and contracts let under his direction.
The obsolete poll tax or road tax
should 1>e done away with and this
most Important matter put into the
hands of competent persons. Napo-
leon Bonaparte, one of the world's
greatest engineers, thought enough of
pood roads to give them his personal
attention, with the result that Prance
today has the finest system of high-
■wayB of any country. Oklahoma bus-
iness and agricultural interests will
►utter If. the question is neglected as
It has been In most states.
OUR SCHOOL LANDS.
Believing that the lands are for the
people The Post insists that steps be
taken to proporly dispose of the school
lands ot the state. Oklahoma has
something like J,050,875 acres of
school college and public lands ami
. the handling of such an estate not
only requires ability and expense but
-opens the way to mismanagement or
graft. Further than tills, as first
stated, the lands are for the people
and the people should not be deprived
these mid-presidential term
slonal eelctlons that the opposite | as
party ls placed In power during the
second half or the president's term.
The republicans were hit like this In
the middle of 1he Garfield-Arthur term
In 1R82 and In tho middle ot Harri-
son's service In IR8". Through the
sweeping republican victory In 1K94
Cleveland had a hostile house and sen-
ate during the last half of his second
term. The same thing happened to
the republicans in 1874, mid-way In
Grant's second term. In tile years
prior to the rebellion both whig and
democratic presidents had serious set-
backs of this sort after being two
years In oftlce. Chairman Sherman's
committee keeps this possibility In
mind, even though It does not expect
anything or the sort.
On the tarirr as well as on all other
issues the party will maintain lis old
ground. "The campaign textbook,"
says Chairman Sherman, "will be a
stand-pat document, with word pic-
tures or the record of the republican
parly, and reasons why the party
should be kept In powor." The reasons
are so obvious that the man or the
committee that has been detailed to
set them forth will have an easy and
pleasant task. This has in an emphatic
degree, been a business congress. No
previous congress since reconstruc-
tion days did so much work of vital
consequence to the country In a single
session as was transacted between
the first Monday of December, 1905,
and the last day of June, 1906. This
ls the testimony of democrats and re-
publicans alike. Most of the great
measures which were enacted in that
session were so urgently demanded

farms at a low rate of interest, thus
making the fund do a double service.
