Chairman Hunter, What has
become of that 25,000 majority
for Fran ti you were calling
through the megaphone?
Attorney General West, in the
saddle by the grace of the people,
will expose the turpitude of Crom-
well. He will lay bare things
that Cromwell would like to con-
ceal.
The fraudful Clias. Hunter de-
clares that frauds have given the
election to the Democrats and he
will contest He is playing the
baby act. He is the only fraud
1n the business.
As a lust desperate expedient,
the fraudful Charles will endeav-
or to hol^l up statehood by con-
testing the election. He could
then hold on to his job as clerk
of the United States district
court and continue to draw his
eight or ten thousand a year.
Charley Hunter <inu his boss,
Frank Frantz are preparing to
steal or throw out ten counties
which gave Haskell 8.000.
Hunter would steal anything that
is loose. He has not an honest
thought in his foul, scheming
mind. He never expected to win
anything except by trickery and
chichacery.
The Democrat has cause for
rejoicing in the large accessions
to its subscription list which came
in 'during the long and heated
campaign which has just ended.
This paper is now recognized as
the only true, stalwart champion
of our cause in the«,county and it
will continue to be so. With
statehood its circulation and in-
fluence will increase.
Talk about your balloons with
40-horse power gas reservoir; not
one of them cau compare with the
inflated little liar, Charley Hun-
ter. He is no common liar. He
lies by quantity. In the face of
an immense majority for)Haskell,
he persisted in his lie that Frantz
was elected by 25,000. When he
knew he^was lying and at the
same time planning to count the
Democrats out if he got any kind
of a show.

International Paper Co. is behind
the print paper merger which is
now being brought to a success-
ful dose. This much was given
out by a manufacturer who stand j "J" O
high in the paper trade and who
has mills which will enter the
merger. Every print paper, ma-
nila fiber and sulphate plant in
Wisconsin, Minnessota and Mich-
igan, he says, will be taken into
the gigantic company. Options
are now held on practically all of
the mills. He added that the In-
ternational Paper Co., which was
incorporated under the laws of
the state of New York in Febru-
ary, 1898, with an authorized
capitjrl of $118,000,000, will con-
trol the print paper market
of the United States. The
manulacturer says the price of
print paper will advance to 4 cents
to the jobber and 6 ccnts to the
small buyer in the near future.
A few years ago we bought
print paper for IJ4 cents per
pound and we now pay cents
per pound with this threatened
advance. For the life of us we
cannot see why the present ad-
ministration permits this outrage
when it has the machinery of
the law to break up this hoggish
and robbing trust. It is high-
way robberry and it is the plain
duty of Mr, Roosevelt to instruct
the Attorney General and his
assistants to head off this giant
robberry. It will force the pa-
pers to raise the price of sub-
scription. They are already run-
ning subscriptions practically at
at a loss.

The paper trust has advised
the Kansas editors to increase the
subscription price of their papers
with the last announcement of a
15 to 25 per cent increase in the
price of print paper which will
take effect October 1. The pros-
ecution of the paper trust has
made it more considerate at least.
Heretofore it has increased the
price of paper without any sug-
gestion as to how the editors
were to get the money to meet it.

Of couise the liquor and brew-
ing interests have met with a
great set back and will have to
quit business in Oklahoma. The
prediction that it will prove a
shock to business is perhaps true
only of the liquor and brewing
business. Other iliues will feel
it slightly for a time, but such a
slight depiession will soon pass
away. That much liquor will be
surreptitiously sold cannot be
doubted. There are men in every
county who are willing to take

go From Counties
Charged With
Pauls Valley, I. T., Sept. 25—
Feeling that the action of Char-
ley E. Hunter in attempting to
secure affidavits whereby he may
find further excuse for impeding
statehood, the citizens of Pauls
Valley and Garvin county, re-
gardless of party, arc up in arms
against the republican chairman.
Garvin county is one of the
counties in which Hunter charges
election frauds, and it is asserted
that a number of misleading fals-
ified affidavits were sent to hitn
from this county in response to
letters from him asking that such
be prepared and sent.
People of Garviu couuty all de-
clare that the election here was
absoluttly fair, and it is conceded
by the republicans that if there
is no more ground for fraud in
the other counties complained of
by Hunter than there is here,
that his action must be taken
purely for the purpose of delay-
ing or defeating statehood.
•'I am not surprised that the
cry of fraud has been raised by
the carpetbag element," said
Judge W. B. Mitchell of Pauls
Valley, today.
•'I think it was a part of the
republican plan. I had a conver-
sation on election day with J. M.
Dorchester, postmaster of Pauls
Valley, which convinced me in
this belief. About two o'clock
on the evening of the election I
met Mr. Dorchester at the court
house, and he then told me that
the election in progress didn't
amount to anything; that it was
going to be declared illegal. I
told him I had seen nothing
wrong, but he reiterated his de-
claration that the election would
not count and declared that he
had been instructed by Hunter to
get up charges alleging fraud in
the election and that be meant to
do it. I understand that Hunter
now has affidavits alleging fraud
in the conduct of the election in
Indian territory. I am familiar
with elections and have partici-
pated in many, but I never saw
an election held that was so ord-
erly and quiet, or where there
was so little attempt on either
side to register illegal votes, as
was the election here Tuesday.
The voting places here and in
every other county of Indian ter-
ritory were guarded by armed
deputy United States marshals
They are the only peace officers
of Indian territory, and from
each of the four districts, liun
dreds of special deputies were ap
pointed to attend the election.

A vigorous effort is to bs made
when Congress meets to secure
the enactment of the Littlefield-
Dolliver bill, which would pre-
vent the shipment ot liquor into
a prohibition state from outside
territory and would prohibit the
issuance of federal license in ter-
ritory having prohibitory laws.
Manifestly the federal govern-
ment should respect local laws by
consistent co-operation, since the
issuance of government license
and the permission to ship illicit
liquors into prohibition states
make it difficult to give the pro-
hibitory doctrine even a fair trial,
much less to make it absolutaly
effective. Hitherto the liquor

to believe that the fraud and in-

about could have been carried on
by the democrats while a half

There has been some talk, so
we are informed, of a contest in
this county by the Republicans.

election officials and a number of
reliable citizens are true, it will
