Laat week «u an eventful one
for Cloud Chief; two men, each of
high standing and each an aspir-
ant for congressional honors ad-
dressed our people.
Dennis Flynn, who by his ardu-
ous labor and unswerving senae of
duty has accoiiipli hed so much
for Oklahoma, Was here on Thurs-
day, and Ralph Beaumont the
light of populism told his story
and spoke his pieoe in the dulcet
strains of oratory, on Saturday,
n, , . . . The first speaker was plain and
Blaine county where it will attempt i \ .. . . t
v unassuming in his speach, but
gave evidence that he knew the
needs of the territory.
Ralph scarsely touched upon
the territory but he was dead cer-
tain on national affairs. He can-
didly admitted that ho could not
promise free homes for our settlers
ss he knew how impossible it is
for one man to control the entire
house, but with humorous, and
well delivered, though time worn
jokes, and fluent tongue and sil
very words he tried to impress up-
on the audience that with his
election that same body could be
influenced to run the railroads,
stop tolls on bridges, extend the
ftee delivery system to the rural
districts, make plenty of money,—
in short drive the gaunt form of
want and distress and unrest from
the eutire land, and peace and
happiness and prosperity reign
toreverojore, world without end.
Amen.
The two men are as different as
it io possible for men to be; the
one, thoroughly practical, the
other full of visions and dreams;
the one, a citizen of Or lahoma,
the other, of New York; one anx-
ious to help his own, the other, to
bestride the continent; the one, an
efficient worker, the other a windy
orator.
The attorney-genera I of Kansas
has decided that the endorsement
of 8impson by the democrats is
lllagal; if the) want him on their
ticket ihey must nominate him in
tha regular way.
The Herald • Sentinel, when
edited by Frank Copk, was the
first and (or a long time the only
paper in Oklahoma to work for
free homes, and the voters of the
county should remember the work
carried oil by him in this line and
support him a: the polls.
The settler can now furnish his
dugout with a comfortable tire and
at the same time cook his sweet
potatoes and bake his corn bread
ithout the fear of being jerked up
by a deputy marshal.
tJvery republican owes a duty
himself, his family and hi*
party and hit? county t go to the
polls on election day Knd work
and vote for the success of the en
tire ticket.
The Fort Worth Gazette admits
that democracy in New York is
demoralized and week, but in the
same article thinks 44 Victory will
perch on its banuers." There is
nothing like keeping a stiff upper
lip- ____
The man nominated ugainst hie
will cannot ne said to be political-
dead. The Herald-Sentinel
has always maintained that Kill
was the consistent demoerut of the
senate and New York democrats
seem to think so too.

To Know It All.
For only 50 cents you can get
the Semi-weeky News, Galveston
or Dallas every Tuesday and Fri
day for six months. Or for$l. you
got the Herald-Sentinel added
making three papers a week.
This will take you through and
bpyond what hid* fair to be one of
.the moat exciting state campaigns
ever witnessed in Texas.
Hard or send the price to the
publisher of this paper, and get
full proceedings of the political
procession at home and in Texas
in the best general newspapers in
the southwest—twenty-four pages
a week.
Dennis Flynn is about the size of
the Territory and covers the
ground pretty well. Beaumont
may be a big man in New York,
but by tht time he spreads him-
self all over the whole country the
portion that covers Oklahoma will
be so thin it won't help us much.
Vote for Flynn.
Marshal N«x has issued orders
among the deputy U. S. Marshals
as follows; In ths future fees will
not be ailow|d any deputy for an
arrest wherein the evidence is not
sufficient to have the defendant
held to answer before the grand
jury. Prisoners must in all casef
betaken before the United Slates
commissioner having jurisdiction
nearest the place where tbs crime
was committed. Arrests must not
be made lor timber cutting until
the district attorney has been
made acquainted with ths facts
and his approval of the warrant
secured. I do not believe that the
law intends that a man should be
prosecuted for taking either down
or dead timber from government
land. Before making a complaiut
in timber cases, be sure that the
interests of the government will
he best subserved by ihe issuance
of a warrant.
It will not be many months, if
settlers contioue to pour iu this
country as at present, before every
piece of land is occupied. They
come singly aud in pairs and in
squads of half dozens and in bands
of forty b and fifty s. Not less than
one hundred home seekers have
entered our coun'y within the past
three weeks. Washita sounty is
already the best settled county in
southwest Oklahoma, and is he-
coming well advertised for her
superior agricultural resources.
The Herald-Sentinel always
likes to see a worthy man prosper-
and hold the esteem of his fellows.
\ party that selects the best
men for positions of trust; is the
party that is bound to succeed
and the republicans of Oklahoma
county seem to understand that
matter thoroughly and have nom
inated for sheriff, Capt. C. H. De
Ford, than whom no better man
for the position can be found.
With such men on their ticket,
the republicans of that county are
sure *o wiu.
The democrats got their whole
ticket from the south district with
one exception, the pops got all
theirs from the middle except one;
the republicans have Stevenaon
from the southeast, West from the
sou'h, Smith Irom the southwest,
McWhorter from the northwest,
Adrian from the north, Cook from
the northeast and Stinson from
the center. Every man of them a
claim holder, every man a sober
man, and every man has been a
resident of the comity since the
run or very soon thereafter.
The Washita country is a great
country. A farmer stated the
other day that he never saw wheat
start to grow as quickly as it does
here. What he sows one day is
up about six inches the next, and
as beautiful a green as ever was
seen.
Coxey's army may have been
obliged to keep off the grass at
Washington, but there is no law
to prevent their keeping out of the
cotton in Texas.
