QUITS THE
INSURGENTS
EDITOR OF PONCA CITY COU-
RIER SEES TREND OF
THINGS POLITICAL.
FALLS INTO LINE
Has Watched Carefully the Contin-
uous and Venomous Hostilities
Carried on by So-called Insur-
gents and Democrats Against
Taft's Administration.
Ponca City, April 17—The Daily
Courier of this city, a former insur-
gent organ, in its issue of Saturday
comes out in support of regular re-
publicanism and annuoroces that it
"will support Bind McGuire far con-
gress in the future. Its announce-
ment reads as follows:
"For Congress—Hird McWulre."
The above announcement may be
received with surprise by those who
'have noticed that the editor of this
paper has shown, during the pact
few weeks a depreciatory altitude to-
■wa.rd ou<r present congressman, Hon.
Bird S. McGuire, and a tendancy to
uphold the candidacy of Judge Gar-
ber. Bui the tacit endorsement by
(democracy of the candidacy of the
latter, and the consistency where-
with Mr. McGuire has stood by right
republican principles has caused
this paper to canvas the situation
in a 'fair and1 impartial manner', with
the inevita'ble conclusion that the
prosperity of the nation and the tri-
umph of the principles of the repub-
lican party so vital to the interests
of the people, tan only be perpetuat-
ed through united action.
For nearly huilf a century the edi-
tor of tlhls paper has consistently and
vigorously fought democrats, popu-
lists and mugwumps, whether their
methods were in the open or under
cover, whether they fought fairly or
with the usual weapons of chicanery
For vindication of this stand, he
points with pride to the ihatchless
achievements of the republican party
in the 'past and' its promise for the
future. Any movement Intended to
hamper or distress the party in its
work must, therefore, appear to him
as unjust and sacrillgious.
There seems to be no question hut
that there 1s 'a deep laid plan, origi-
nated in the fertile brain of Haskell
and hiis lieutenants and a few so-
called republicans of the First Dis-
trict, having for its ultimate object
the defeat of the republican plinci-
the defeat of the republican prlnci-
representative.
Khe Courier has watched carefully
since the inauguration oif President
Taft, the continuous and venomous
hostilities carried on by the so-called
"insurgents" and democrats against
his couragous able an<t honest ad-
ministration of public affairs.
We therefore desire to go on re-
cord as condemning the tactics of
the league 'between the democrats
and so-called republicans who are
oppositionists to the present national
ad'mlniletratlon.
No sane man can mistake the drift
of Insurgency. It has come to 'be the
asset of the democratic party, nation,
ally. To prove this, if proof is nec-
essary to an already enlightened pub-
lic, listen to the boastful words of
Thomas R. Marshall, democratic gov-
ernor of 'Indiana and 'considered an
asset of the democratic a prospective
candidate for the presidency, In an
'nterview in the Chicago Tribune of
last Sunday, In which he said: "I
have, however, a great regret thjrt
' — - - - I
over tihe fence and go in to help the
great democratic party in getting rid
of parishes who believe in protec-
tion. Aside from the educational
value of the movement the attitude
which/ they now assume can he of
no permanent value to the repub-
lican party."
As we believe with Governor Mar-
shall land his fellow democrats, that
the attitude of the insurgents can be
of no value to the .republican party,
we must decline to lend comfort to
the cause any further and to this end
will advocate the re-election of Bird
S. McGuire to congress from this
district so long as his work shall
conform to the best traditions of the
republican party.

WANT A COMPLETE U0UNTI
ELECTED GRAND AUDITOR.
Dr. McKenzie, of This City, Is Hon.
ored by II. A. Y. of America.
Dr. Walten H. McKenzie returned
Monday night from Des Moines, Iowa,
where he went upon call of the
Grand Officers of the Brotherhood of
America Yeomen. When he arrived
at Des Moines he found that he had
been selected as Grand Auditor for
the B. A. Y. of America and entered
immediately upon his duties of check-
ing up the records of the Grand
Officers. Dr. McKenzie 19 one of
three Grand Auditors, hence, it is
perceived that both Enid and Dr. Mc-
Kenzie have been quite honored.
Dr. McKenzie reports that the rec-
ords of the home office showed that
$325,000 had been received since Jan-
uary 1st, last, and that 6400 applica-
tions for membership had been re-
ceived during the month of February.
This is indeed a splendid showing.
The duties of Dr. McKenzie as
Grand Auditor will be to check up
the Grand Officers every three
months, and the audit consists of a
Kansas CWv Journal contest and is|d 'ubIe cheek of a11 receipts and ex-
nnw rpcptviT.tr nr w Penditures. The next audit will be

"In order that the Enid federal
building may be made fire proof
throughout, the treasury department
has recommended that the limit ot
cost of that building be increased
$75,000, making a total of $175,000.
Representative McGuire sought to
have the cost Increased to$250,000,
but this did not meet with the ap-
proval of the department.''

FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS.
The announcement of Charles B.
Longcor for a renomination as the
republican candidate for Register of
Deeds appears in another column and
no doubt wiii be received with favor
by all residents of Garfield county
who have had business dealings at the
register of deeds office. It is not
necessary to dwell upon the qualifi-
cations of Mr. Longcor, as he is a
proved qaulity in that respect. His
record during the present term is as
an open book which all men may
read. That he has made good there
is no sort of doubt and if it follows
that the public official who makes
good one term should have another,
certainly does it appear that Mr.
Longcor will have no opposition at
the primary and little at the election
to follow.
Charles Longcor is not only a good
citizen and a satisfactory official, but
he is an enthusiastic, hard working
republican, one who believes in the
principles and high destiny of his
party and is not lax in putting his
shoulder to the wheel and doing the
:roper amount of work for the party.
Longcor is not one who pretends non-
partisanship and deals in platitudes
which he doesn't feel. He is clear
cut, sincere, worthy in every partic-
ular—a faithful public servant and a
conscientious party wheel horse.

by entitled to ai second term, repub-

TEMPI E WINS TWO SUITS.
DIG REALTY DEAL.
J. B. Ferguson Purchases Chamber
<i,f Commerce Buildinir.
J. B. Ferguson, better known as
Old 'Money Baeu" drew out $60,000
change Tuesday of this week and
purohiaaed therewith the north half
of the Chatnlbe.r of Commence build-
ing, thenettofore owned by the Loe-
wen Real Estate and Investment
.company.
It will 'be remembered that Albert'
Loewen built the hotel, theatre and
office building all in. erne hunk. This
ile eaves him with the hotel and
theatre properties only.
Colonel Ferguson considers that

X.a ...... . — - -— he secured the property cheap, as
all thete innu.-gents don't get clear llndeed he did.
A verdict for $140, the full amount
asked for, was 'rendered 'this morn-
ing 'by the Jury In the case of D. C.
TeimjplLe versus C. E. Gannon, tried
to the district court.
Thle case grew out of tirttnsacticns
reiaitdng to the granting of a fran-
chise for a street railway in Enid
to Temple and some associates about
three yeans ago Two thousand dol-
lars ted' been deposited by Temple
in the Enid National Bank as a
guarantee of good faith, and aUter
the street car proposition fell
through, the city counctfl voted to re-
turn the money. Tor was done
through Albert Laewen as agent for
Temple, wh paid Gannon the amount
named In the suit -for alleged ser-
vices. Temple asserted tWat Loewcn
had no right to pay the money to
Gnnmoni, and that Gannon had no
right to It.
Another suit of a similar nature,
resulting from the stenie transaction,
was tried. Inl this case Temple sued
to recover $125 from O. J. Fleming
of the En!d National Bank, who held
out that amount when turning the
money ove- to Loe-wen, in order to
protect the bank agtadns.t claims by
Gannon. The verdict was quickly
rendered, and waft for $147.37, Into
est <at 7 per cent having been in-
cluded.
When you go to the polls to vote
for a representative in congress, re-
member these facts, then vote for
your own interest, advises Jesse G.
Curd, in his Poteau Sun.
When the republican party took
o\er the reins of government, out of
the hands of Cleveland and democra-
cy, you were receiving in Oklahoma
48 cents a bushel for wheat; today
you get a dollar.
When Cleveland went out you were
receiving 16 cents a bushel for corn;
today you get 60 cents.
At that time you were receiving 31
cents a bushel for oats; today you
aregrtting 4S and 50 cents.
And these are but an illustration
of the difference in price of all pro-
ducts you have to sell.
It is true that the things you have
to buy have advanced, but not mate-
rially with the price you receive for
what you raise on the farm.
And to the laborer:
You are receiving double the wages
you did when Cleveland 'let go the
ropes of government.
Think seriously before you vote
for a democrat for congress, for a
change of 26 congressional districts
in the United States this year will
give the democrats a majority in
congress and perhaps a return to
Clevelandism and free trade.
If you want prosperity continued
help to elect a republican to con-
gress from all het Oklahoma dis-
tricts.
Chamber of Commerce Taking Actlve
Interest in Enid's Census.
Secretary Cunningham, of the
Chamber of Commerce will make a
diligent effort to have a correct enu-
meration of the population of Enid
taken during the present census.
The importance of the enumeration
is realized when it is understood
that the .result of the census will
form the basis for the population of
the city over the country generally
for the next five years at least.
It is pointed out that much de-
pends upon the women of the city
as to whether a correct enumeration
of the population make an effort to
have each person residing in their
houses fill out one of the required
blanks. All persons living on April
15 should be counted; and if any
person is overlooked the women will
confer a favor by calling the head-
quarters of the bureau and inform.
Ing the enumerator so that the per-
son missed may be counted. The
names of absentees should be given
to the enumerator.

NEW MAIL CARRIER.
Baby Knupp Is guiding the work
on City Route No. 4 for the present-
The youngster was born to Mr.
and Mrs. Bob Knupp on last Mon-
day, weighing the fat figure of tea
ar.d a half pounds, and since that
time Daddy Knupp has been perceiv-
ing the baby just ahead while oa
his rounds >of the route.
Admiring friends fear that perhaps
Hob may be completely dazzled, like
the fellow who tries to stare the sun
out of countenance, and suggest that
perhaps Bob had not best look at the
baby so much when he Is at home.
The Knupp family is all well.

Indianapolis, Ind.,—An excursion
train running as the "Hoosler Spec-
ial" starts May 17 on a tour of 2,100
miles througih Oklahoma. Out of
Indianapolis it will be in charge of
the Big Four; at St. Louis the Frisco
lines will take charge.
The commercial clubs will enter-
tain the visitors in Western style.
This speclail idea originated with
Frank D. Fuller of this city as a
return compliment to the "Tulsa
Boosters," who brought a special
through the middle west and eastern
states last year.
It is not Intended by Mr. Fuller
that this excursion shall 'be used to

particular industry. He says nothing

seekers and those who wish to t.ik
