J G Lewis of Oklahoma City Is hereby I
announced as a Camlhlate for Public Weigh-
er of Oklahoma County subject to the action
of the Democratic Nominating Convention
A candidate must endorse every
portion of his platform and It Is evi-
dent that every republican candidate
from congressman to constable must
favor the IJarncs administration
Public sentiment has now woke up
to the point of demanding the select-

Oklahoma City will be the railroad as
well as the commercial center of the
two territories — Tecumseh Republi-
can Tuk curbing and gutters on Main
street give the thoroughfare a very
citified air The next move should
be to require the sidewalks to be ce-
ment brick or stone The wood
walks are unsightly noisy and dan-
gerous to the crowd of pedestrians
that daily rush along that street
The republican party is somewhat
short of things to take pride in The
Barnes administration don’t suit
the rough riders are pretty fair but
the colored cavalry captured the
whole procession Including the band
wagon At the colored hoys they
can resolutely point with pride so
long as the cavalry stays in Cuba
where they cannot resent such abuse

A CAMP INSPECTED
Secretary of War Alger Pays a
Visit to Camp Wikoff
INTERVIEWED AS TO IIS CONDITION
Denies That Troops Havo 8 offered Any Un-
necessary Privation— The Spanish Pris-
oners Who Hava Arrived In 8pnln
Complain of Their Treatment
New York Aug 27— Secretary Alger
arrived In this city last night mod wit
at the Fifth Avenue hotel la an in-
terview he said:
1 did not And the conditio of Camp Wikoff
nearly aa bad as I had expeoted I cannot aea
that there ta any Justification In the talk thnt
neither the 111 nor well soldiers are properly
treated I think there are splendid accommo-
dations for all soldiers that will go to Camp
Wikoff and especially now that so many there
have been given furloughs Thursday I re-
ceived offers from New York and Brooklyn
hospitals to take at least 800 sick from the
camp
Secretary Alger waa asked: "How
do you account for the confusion an
lack of facilities at Camp Wikoff?
To this Oen Alger replied:
Did you ever go Into camp with 100 or even 89
men? If so you know there la much confusion
with that number of men What do you sup-
pose It must be than with thousands who know
but little about soldiering? There may appear
to be much eonfuslon and privation but It I
only wbnt Is to he expected In roughing It On
many occasions I myself have been In camp
and have encountered these things I found
many soldier lying with nothing but a
blanket between tbem and the ground Still
there were thousands of bags in camp 1
asked the men why they did not nil the bag
with straw of which there was a large Quan-
tity in camp and so make beds for themselves
They said they had not thought of such
thing
Then” the secretary was asked
again "you cannot see that there la
justification in the complaints which
have been made?” He replied:
Nons If there was any lack of medicines or
necessary supplies tha blame would be on
ttaoae whose duty It was to order these things
The first day I went through the detention hos-
pital and later the general hospital and I
talked with nearly every man who was awake
I said to them all: "Boys Is there anything you
want?" They nil answered: "Nothing we are
quite eomf ortabla " A few of the men had no
eota but this was soon remedied There are
some few sick men but there la no yellow
fever There Is some tvpbotd I saw some
men there aa yellow as any paint you ever eaw
and nothing remained of them but eklu and
bones
la the general hospital at Camp Wi-
koff there are 1080 patients There
are 150 typhoid patients In the hospl
tel which is a decrease The number
of men in the detention eamp was 936
and this Is also a lower record than
yesterday
