The'recent floods which wrought ruin and
desolation to the cotton growing districts of Mis-
sissippi Louisiana and other Southern States
have it is authoritively stated brought about a
tremendous shortage — estimated at 2000000 bale

State after state is getting into ihe Champ

The Nashville Tennesseean notes that the

expected to follow the receding of the waters

can ied by flies and mosquitoes that will breed in

Marse Henri Watterson in the Louisville
Courier-Journal sums up the political situation
in the Republican camp in the following caustic
language:
“The result in Ohio makes it certain that the
voters of the United States will have to reckon
with Theodore Roosevelt next November at the
polls
“It will matter not whether he appears under
the emblem of a regular-party noininat’on or as
an insurrecto appealing to all parties unless he
breaks down under the strain and is taken to t
lunatic asylum he will be a candidate for presi
dent
“There can be in bis name and person but one
issue: Life-tenure in the executive office and a
civil fabric imperial in everything except its
nomenclature
“Thus our system of representative govern-
ment laid in constitutional checks and balances
having achieved the battle for independence exis-
tence and survived the severe ordeal of foreign
invasion and internal conflict the disputed sue
cession and the strife of sections and factions
must face the final and yet greater peril of mad
ambition supported by corrupt and corrupting
millions playing upon the restless the unknow
ing and unthinking tiie purchasable the brutal
and the vile ”
LO THK POOR WHITE MAN
It seems the American Indian has decided
not to die out a decision that amounts to almost
a breach of faith with our white civilization
We supposed of course that the “Red man”
was going but in 1900 there were 248263 of him
and in 1910 b’gosb be turns up with 266683
says the Muskogee Times Democrat After we
have kindly relieved him of his ancient hunting
grounds and even of the graves of his ancestors
and enforced a “move-on ordinance” for about
two centuries
It’s another instance of the pernicious influ-
ence of Teddy Roosevelt Those Indians have
been reading his speeches about race suicide As
they have 609 per cent of males to 491 per cent
of females they are likely to keep right on mul
tiplying
In a few thousand years they may be moving
their white benefactors back to Europe
The office of County Judge is withoutdoubt
one of the most important county offices to be
tilled this fall as it includes the Probate business
—that of the widows and orphans— and voters
should think twice before stamping their ballot
lor this important office We are pleased tostate
however that we are authorized this week to an-
nounce a candidate for County Judge who com-
bines all the qualities — probity efficiency expe-
i n nee and diligence which should be qualifica-
I mu of a county judge who is a staunch Demo-
nil and well known to the people because of
Ins loMilence in Wagoner and the activity he has
l iken in promoting the welfaieof his party and
county That man is Judge W T Hunt of
Wagoner When you stamp your ballot on
August Gtli see that Judge Hunt’s name is not
overlooked
In the proper column this week will be found
the announcement of John O Baker as a candi-
date for Representative of Wagoner county in the
state legislature subject to the August primaries
Mr Baker is one of the most widely known and
prominent planters of the county having resided
in Oklahoma for the past eight years and has at
all tin es worked diligently for the success of the
Democratic party He is thoroughly familiar
with local agricultural conditions and if elected
will represent the farmers’ interests as well as
that of others appealing to him as worthy He
believes that the laws should be simplified so that
an ordinarily well educated man can grasp their
meaning and first and foremost he will be found
working for the principles of good government
To his hundreds of loyal friends throughout the
county this announcement will be received with
pleasure and his nomination will add strength to
the entire ticket -
Among the other new onnouncements in this
paver this week will be found that of Harris
Blake who is a candidate for re-election to the
office of Clerk of the District Court of Wagoner
county If any public official has ever prove
courteous painstaking efficient and diligent in
the discharge of his duties that man is Harrie
Blake and his announcement ought and doubt-
less will be hailed with no small degree of grati-
fication by the Democrats of Wagoner county
He is an official whose probity and record reflects
honor upon his county his party and himself
and in voting for Harrie Blake a man will like-
wise honor himself and keep the office in the
hands of a tried and faithful public servant
By reason of his having served the people of
Wagoner county faithfully and with distinguish-
ed ability for his first term now drawing to a
close and at the solicitation of many friends
Judge Leon B Fant authorizes us this week
to announce his candidacy for re-election to the
office of County Judge subject to the wishes of
the the Democratic party as expressed in the
primary August 6th No man can fill this office
without engendering adverse criticism from dis-
appointed ligitants and selfish guardians and
while Judge Fant has not been an exception to
this rule lie has made a fair and impaitial judge
- ourteous yet firm and by the rules of ffairness
deserves a second term
Monday’s Daily Waganer Sayings came to
us in mourning — the column rules inverted— and
we realized at once that its editor J C B Lind
tey who had been in fa ling health for some
time past had at last ended his labors and passed
over the river into the unfathonable mysteries
beyond from whence no wanderer ever returns
and which each one of us must sooner or later
explore He died Saturday and was buried Sun
day with marked honors To his sorrowiu wife
and children we extend warmest sympathy in
this hour of their great bereavement

Under the proper heading will be found the
announcement of C E Trumbo who is a candi-
date for re-election to the office of County Treas-
urer Mr Trumbo has filled the office for the
first term with marked ability— in fact in a man-
ner which defies criticism for it can not be im-
proved upon He is courteous kind and obliging
painstaking and accurate— combining all the
qualities which go to make an ideal public ser
vant Faithful and efficient service speak for
him Give heed
