majority over Uncle Bill Cross
being a little over four hundred.
Cromwell's aggressive work in
the interest ot the Republican
candidates during the last two
campaigns has fully entitled him
to recog-nition from a party stand-
point. That he will make a good
attorney general need not be
doubted foran instant.

Now, personally, we like Ned
Sisson. He is a daisy jjood
fellow and understands the intri-
cacies of the Republican political
machine as well as any ot the o'd
boys and can work the inspirator.
The trouble with Ned is that he
could not forsee that the Roose-
velt administration was going
Democratic, and again be cut out
his subscription to this paper and
nearly bankrupted the concern.
Ne. quote from a Guthrie dis-
patch:
The McGuire machine is mak-
ing an effort to dislodge Ned
Sisson as clerk of the court in the
seventh distric*, but nothing
that would indicate success has
yet shown up. Their candidate,
according to a Caddo county citi-
*en, is Bill McFadyen, a school
land lessee, to whom they desire
to give the place in order to get
more votes from the lessees
throughout the territory.
The report that Cash Cade is
being shoved into the race for the
position of school land commis-
sioner is confirmed. The effort
to compel him to take the place
coming entirely from the
McSuire machine. Cade who is
national republican committee-
man, is balking, however, and
the local spokes in the machines

The president needs the sym-

corrupt, especially in Indian

appeared and said: "Is there not
an honest republican in the dis-
trict? I decided to appoint otic
man, and no sooner had it become
known than I was deluged with
telegrams charging the man with
everything frotnarson to bastardy.
I am disgusted with the republi-

tion. We begin to see sunshine
under the gloomy political cloud
which has so loug enveloped us
and which has shrouded the ma-
terial interests of Oklahoma. It
is the intention of the adminis-

become not only oppulent but
