1 hereby announce myself as a candidate
for delegate to the Constitutional Conven-
tion for the Fifty-seventh Delegate District,
subject to the action of the Republican
Convention to be held In Bartlesville. Oc-

WHAT IS TO HK DOS E.
It is easy to ask brilliant and
convincing questions, if the pro-
pounder is not obliged to answer
them himself. The Pittsburg Post
comes along with this interesting
list of interrogatories: "With a
negro problem within American
boundaries, why .import another,
ami one worse!"' Why exploit
criminal aggression none the less
flagitious because postponed some
years? Why fexpose this nation
to the taunts of the land-grabbing
British\V hy saddle a heavier
expense for military protection of
an outlying dependency than even
the Philippines have cost? Why
blindly play into I he hands of
sugar and tobacco land owners?''
VY hy didn't the Post speak earl-
We can
It is not often that the truth
finds its way into the editorial
columns of a Republican news-
paper, but recenly the editor of
the Concordia (Kan.) Empire was
sufficiently conscience stricken
moment gave vent to the follow-
ing: "We have been invited to
send a dollar contribution to the
Republican campaign fund. . . .
We recently have completed build
iug a house at a cost of something
over $4,000 and for every foot of
lumber, every pane of glass, every
sack of cement, every pound of
nails, and, in fact for nearly every
bit of material that went into it
we made a good, liberal contribu-
tion through the trusts that con-
trol them, and we guess wo have
done our share. It may be trea-
son for a Republican newspaper
to talk this way, but facts are
facts and it sort of relieves our
conscience to tell the truth about
the trusts once in a while. We'll
just let the trusts, to which we
have had to pay unwilling tribute
in the past year, pay our dollar
for us. We need it and they
don't."
thorough test could nob be made, al
though the engineer huoeeeded in mak-
ing the regular runninsr time without
much difficulty, and on the return
trip, with a larger engine, they beat
the regular time by twenty minutes.
To make the round trip in the regular
way requires about eight or nine tons
of coal, which costs the company
about two dollars a tou at the mines,
but the expense of handling it at the
chutes, etc.. makes the fuel cost about
twenty-five dollars for the round trip.
The amount of oil consumed on the
round trip was about ItiOO gallons,
which at current prices for crude
would make the fuel expense wit oil
burners but 814. In addition to this
it saves the expense of handling the
coal at the chutes and dispensed with
the need of fire cleaners. The com-
fort of the passengers is added to
greatly by the fact that the smoke and
cinder nuisance is wholly done away
with. The test was made with Neode-
sha oil. but Sapulpa oil will be used
hereafter.

Bryan entered Indian Territory
Wednesday evening. When the spe

greeted by an immense crowd which
had gathered at the depot. He was
escorted from his car by a committee
of prominent Democrats to a platform
which had been erected in front of the
Elks hall.
Mr. Bryan paid a glowing tribute to
the new state and expressed great
pleasure at the way the Democratic
party is going about its work to win
the constitutional convention. He
urged the Democrats to stand shoul-
der to shoulder and make the new
dtate Democratic from center to cir-
cumference. He told of the glories of
the Democratic party and urged the
first voters to get "

CHILDHOOD i vh THK SONG BIBDS.
A prominent physician of the
Pacific coast, well advanced in years
recently thrilled to the call of tha
land of his birth and responded bv
taking a trip over to Ireland for
the purpose, principally, of bring-
ing back some of the song birds of
his childood's home. A Denver
newspaper caught him the other
day in his return journey with
cages containing two hundred of
the birds of Ireland, such as he
had been familiar with in earlier
days; such as he had listened to
with delight on awakening from
the binding and refreshing sleep
of childhood; such as had warbled
to him as he roamed the woods and
fields of the Emerald Isle. lie had
not desired to return to the "old
country" permanently to pass his
remaining days, but he had
yearned intensely for the songs of
its birds. In his early youth he
had loved and studied birds, and
in his advanced years his imagin-
ation caught again the melodies of
fullthroated thrush, lark, linnet
and nightingale, and he longed to
hear again, by day and by night,
the glorious music of their voices.
And so it happens to many of us,
with the advance of our years be-
yond middle life, but before the
coming of that senility that takes
us back to mere childishness, that
we listen to the call of our child-
hood, with its association of per-
sons, places and things; that we
yield pleased attention to the sum-
mons to the scenes of our youth.
We may not think to rest from
the turmoils of life in the midst of
associations of early days after ob-
serving time's rude changes of
scene and character that inclined
to shock one who may have a
A COM UI SK ATIOX.
The threat of William John-
stone's paper, the Enterprise, to
read certain Republicans out of
the party last spring, was resisted
by the organization of a "Roose-
velt Republican Club," which club
has since shown its power by both
capturing the old club and organ-
izing the District central commit-
tee, and for a time it was supposed
that a better sense of justice and
practical politics would prevail,
but now comes Territorial Com-
mitteeman William Johnstone, and
disrobes the District central com-
mittee, taking from it all its right-
ful powers, and mounts the throne
and proclaims in no uncertain
tones, "Gentlemen, you now be-
hold your master, and you are in-
deed read out of the party!"
Traverse the Union over, and in
no place at no time can a prece-
dent for this autocratic rule be
found.
It is of course sweet music to
the Democrats from a political
view point, but morally the pre-
cedent is and should be deplored
by all political parties alike. It is
a bold and unblushing step toward
tyranny and is arrogance too
shameless to be indulged in by
the most brazened egotist.
If the independent voters will
for one moment submit to this
gag rule, then may we begin to
realize that not vet are the people
of this community ready to ser-
iously consider real reform.—A
Straightout Republican.
OIL TESTS SATISFACTORY.
Frit
Kxperiment* with Crude Oil llurn-
«ri with (iood IInsulin.
The Frisco officials are said to be
very well impressed with the results
of the tests that have been made with
crude oil on the run between Sapulpa
and Monett during the past two weeks.
The Initial run was made by Engineer
George Harmon, who was accompa-
nied by J. Ft. Scott, road foreman of
equipment of the Sauta Fe. They left
Sapulpa at 4:45 on the morning of
September 14, getting back at 12:20 the
following morning. One of the en-
gines used was a small affair and a
portance of winning the first battle in
the great new state.
1 rusts, tariff and the government
ownership problem received his atten-
tion but.he bore more lightly on the
latter. His remarks with reference to
government ownership were in line
with his recent speeches. He told of
the importance of making a constitu-
tion for the people and keeping the
trusts in abeyance. He told of the
great disasters that would happen if
the Republicans carried the coming
elections in the new state.
The train was late in leaving McAl-
ester and instead of reaching' Musko-
gee at 9:30 as originally scheduled it
was 12:45 in the morning when the
special train bearing Mr. Iirvan and
the principal chiefs of the five civil-
ized tribes finally pulled into the de-
pot. While the crowd awaited the be-
ated train, addresses were made by
ex-Mayor James A. Reed of Kansas
City and Senator T. P. Gore, of Law-
ton. Mr. Bryan was greeted upon his
arrival by the several Democratic
clubs of Muskogee and escorted to a
platform which bed been erected in the
street. Notwithstanding the lateness
of the hour, a big crowd hadcemained
to hear Mr. Bryan and he was cheered
continuously.

The (jlenna Vindicated.
Bob and Mike Glenn, who were ar-
rested on a charge of being implicated
in the murder of Charles E. Harper, in
the Glenn oil pool on August 21,
were discharged from custodv af„er a
preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Hyman-< at Tul-
sa, Monday. Harper was killed du-
ring a dispute which aron- over a
poker game, the fatal shot having, it
is alleged, been fired bv Joe Morris,
who made his escape and has not yet
been arrested. There was little idea
on the part of the Glenns' friends that
tbev were sruilty of anything worse
than a choice of bad company, and
their wide acquaintanceship is rejoic-
ing over the result of the trial. Har-
per was well known in the oil fields as
a professional gambler and went un-
der the sobriqut of "Texas."
Hallway Officials Kxpected.
A number of officials of the Okla-
homa Western Railway company are
expected to visit Bartlesville today
In the party will be W. A. Graham,

terprise, J. a. Hartshorn and E. E.
Colly, respective general manager and
chief engineer, and Major G. W.
Angle, of New York. Major Angle is
a consulting engineer of the eastern
capitalists who are expected to finance
the new railway. The party will visit
Nowata, Pawhuska, Bartlesville and
other towns as far as Alva which want
the line. The trip Is merelv one of In-
spection, but it will form the basis of
the reuort made by Major Angle to his
New York principals.
