Democrats Walk Out
El Reno, Oct. 10.—Refusing to
illy themselves with the candi-
dates of the republican, socialist
and prohibition parties, in a
movement to adopt plans which
would insure a fair election and
count on Nov. 8, the democratic
representatives at the conference
here today, headed by Lee Cruce,
rose from the meeting and left
in a body. The action of the
democrats came after the other
representatives at the con/erence
refused to adopt resolutions
which strongly endorsed the pre-
sent democratic administration
and were, in substance, an en-
dorsement of the democratic
party.
As a fitting climax of over two
hours play at politics, the demo-
cratic candidates attending the
convention of the state candi-
dates assembled here today to
adopt resolutions looking to a
fair count and honest election.
At the suggestion of Lee Cruce
they walked out of the conven-
tion.
The excuse given for the bolt
was that the socialist, prohibi-
tion and republican candidates
refused to adopt a clause which
was an endorsement of the dem-
ocratic ticket and which did not
follow the intent of the meeting.
Before leaving the spokesman for
tLe democratic candidates stated
that they would agree to the re-
solutions which the socialist,
prohibitionists and republicans
hud agreed t<v but insisted tfeat
their resolution endorsing the
democratic party be adopted.
Will Plant Cotton
Fairview, Okla,.—The farmers
of Major county are seriously
considering the matter of turn-
ing their attention to the raising
of cotton next season instead of
broom corn, and many are now
interesting themselves in the re-
pairing and operating of the cot-
ton gin at Fairview. There is a
considerable brush of good qual-
ity in the county, baled and ready
for market, and they are not only
trying to find local buyers but
have written to outside firms who
have heretofore bought through
this country, but have been un-
able to get any satisfaction from
any source and can find no sale
for their product at any price.
They believe that the big con-
cerns are not dealing fairly with
them in the matter and a6 there
is always a good market at some
price for cotton, they will grow
the crop which they believe to be
the hardest for the speculator to
control. This was the result of
the agitation of these questions
at a meeting held this week, and
it se^ms there will be a very
lighf* acreage of broom corn
planted in this county next year.
What the Orient is Doing
A roundhouse costing about
$14,000 is to be built by the
Orient railway at Altus, Okla.
It will be constructed of brick
and will contain seven stalls.
The material for the construction
of the rouudhouse is being assem-
bled and it will be completed
about Dec. 15.
The Altus roundhouse will be
the fourth facility of the kind on
the Orient. There are round-
houses at Fairview and San An-
gelo, and a ten-stall structure is
being built at Wichita.
A SUICIDE
School Teacher Fir$s Bullet
That Ends His Own Life
John Chanse, teacher of the
Gundlach school, five tfciles west
of Canton, committed suicide
Sunday morning at.8 o'clock, in
his room at Charles Gundlach's
home, where he was boarding.
The weapon used was a 38-
calibre revolver, and belonged to
one of the Gundlach boys. The
bullet entered the right temple,
ranging slightly upward, and

and arrived at 9:30,
the wound. Mr. Obanse was
conscious until about|ll o'clock,
three hours after th% tragedy,
when he became unconscious and
remained so until his death,
which occurred at 7 o'clock Mon-
day evening.
When questioned he would ans-
wer but gave no reason for his
act, and acknowledged that he
fired the shot with suicidal in-
tent. He was called for break-
fast that morning but refused to
come down stairs and shortly
after the Gundlach family heard
the fatal shot. Mr. Chanse
stated that he was sitting on the
bed when he fired the shot that
ended his earthly career. It is
supposed that ill health was what
caused him to commit the awful
deed, as he has been afflicted
with stomach trouhles the past
year and was often despondent.
His father, mother and two
brothers arrived Sunday after he
lost consciousness.
The funeral was held yester-
day at his home, west of Oak-
wood, and the body was buried in
the Trail cemetery.
Mr. Chanse was about 19 years
of age and this was his second
term of school. His present term
commenced about three weeks
ago. He was an upright, intel-
ligent young man, and his many
friends were greatly shocked to
learn of his death und the horri-
ble deed which a diseased brain
caused him to commit.
West Side
Yes, Mr. Higginbottom, we
know the war is over—but what
war do you mean—we have had
four wars in the past fifty years.
I think you mean the civil war.
In the last two wars I partici-
pated myself, and I think you
was cursing President McKinley
and the republican party about
that time, as that is what most
of the democrats were doing
about that time.
Say, Mr. Higginbottom, I see
old Champ Clark, the democratic
leader of the house of represent-
atives, said that the hope of the
country lies in the success of the
democratic party. Why, man,
just think of the hope of ninety
millions of people being cen-
tered in a party whose represent-
atives in congress elected Joe
Cannon speaker of the house, and
thus prevented the republicans
from ousting him; the party that
elected Bill Lorimer, a republi-
