City election next Tuesday. April 5.
Taxpayers, do you know the import-
ance of a good town council?
Not a taxpayer in the town has inter-
ested himself in the city election.
The people of this town will pay dear
for their neglect in the matter of the
city election.
No president ever was so completely
under the control of Wall street as Mc-
Kinley.
We would suggest a J165 privy as the
device on Councilman Allen's ticket
for re-election.

J.J. Huston, of Perry, is slated for

Councilman Allen is no*, running this
year on a poetical platform. He is
dealiag with cold stinking facts.
There are several big steals shaping
up which will bankrupt this town next
year if the people don't watch out. A
hint to the wise is sufficient.

We do not wonder at the pops want-
ing to fuse: but why should any sane
democrat who can count from one to
ten, want to. unless he desires to run for
office, is one of the inscrutible mys-
teries which puzzles a finite mind?
About the only use a territory has
for a delegate is to distribute garden
seeds and public documents. As a
pumpkin seed disceminator we fail to
see where Callahan has any edge over
Flynn. We know of scores of demo-
crats in this county who used to get
garden seeds from Flynn by the bushel
and some few of them who can read oc-
cassionally got a pamphlet on "fe-
nance;" but now Jerry O'Rourk is the
only democrat, if be is a democrat, who
ever seee a public document or a ruta-
baga.

The populist party of this territory
seem to have a predilection for preach-
ers. Tbey sandwiched Ralph Beau-
mont with one on each side; then se-
lected another as chairman for the ter-
ritorial central committee The only
thing they now need to be in excellent
trim for proselyting is a mourners"
bench and a short crop.
Cleveland's ex-appointees had all
better emulate Ed -Nix's example and j
go to the led mines of Joplin, or better
still Galbreath's and go to Honolulu,
or Uncle Caleb's and go back to Ala-
bama. instead of offering themselves
for an elective office. They can all save
humiliation at the polls by it.
A little cross-roads' exchange asks,
what is the matter with Jerry O'Rourk,
chairman of the democratic territorial
committee—by accident, for congress?
Can't he draw a big pop vote? Xot
this year, honey! It is nominated in
the bond that Callahan is to draw on
the pops this year, and Jerry n*rt
time.
Taxpayers, what do you think of a
proposition to pay t60.#O0 for the El
Reno water-works, and to dig $">0,000
worth of sewers next year? You may-
wish that you had paid some attention
to the city election before the year is
out.
It seems to ue that it is about time
for a di vldead to be struck by the re-
ceiver of the Stock Exchange bank.
