Ren Key of Kiowa, is here this
w«*ek taking a hand in the loca-
tion of the depot.
For the first time we are one
lay late this weolt, on account
of the political meetings held
here on the dav before publica-
t'on.
—We have in our oft1"0 nard
r v-i.j.. made by J. B.
Jenkins on his homestead one
and a half miles east of Wood-
ward, that can't be beat in any
country. Come and see them.
—We acknowledge the receipt
of au invitation to a grand ball
to be given at the Hammock
building Monday night Oct. 8th.
Music will consist of violin,
harp, cornet and guitar. Noth-
ing hat been left undouo to make
it the grandest ball ever gi\t n in
Woodward. Success is guaran-
teed by the selection of a No. 1
committee. To-wit.

Robert Oats,
— A week or ten days ago Joe
Hunter moved hisshoe shop from
east to west Woodward. To-day
ho moved it back on the lot join
ing Dr. Workman's residence.
Mr. Rhodes. Supt. of the Pan-
handle division of the A. T. A S.
P. rail road, was here a day or
two this week, presumably for
the purpose of selecting a loca-
tion to move the dej>ot to.
SPEAKING.
Hon. J. W. Johnson. Oklaho-
ma's favorite speaker delivered a
very eloquent speech in behalf
of the administration and Demo-
cratic principles. He labored
harrl to make himself and the
audience believe that the presi-
deut was carrying out Jefferson
ian principles when he vetoed
the silver bill, approved the tax
on sugar, etc.. and his success on
that line was not marked by ap
plause from the audieuce.
Mr. Flynn, our present dele
gate to congress and a candidate
for re-election scarcely touched
on national pontics. His speech
from beginning to end, was for
dennis!
He showed where Denuis had
dono all in his power for the
people of this Territory, and
backed it up by congressional
records. As an all around good
fellow, thoroughly imbued with
western principles, he made a
good impression. Now the people
want to near from Joe Wisby in
— The hottest race of this cam-
paign will be between two bulls

Odem and Bob Benn are both|a^ainst
gentlemen in every respect, who
have hosts of warm friends all
over the county, but Bob carries
to much surplus flesh to ever out-
run old Tobe.
—Mr. Jackson, candidate for
Probate Judge on the Republi-
can ticket, is a gentleman whoom
all his neighbors love to respect,
and if it was possible to elect him
Judge N county would have an
upright conciencious man on the
bench.
r'pcittes amieted with
love of office are telling the j^o-
pie that th«; Independent party
is a myth composed of one man
only, who takes down and puts
up candidates regardless of the
wishes of the Independent voters
of N county, which is not only
foolish and false, but a direct in-
sult to every independent voter
in N county. To prove this as-
sertion. we invite skeptics to ex-
amine the petition placing the In
dependent ticket in the field ac-
cording to the law.
These same men sought and
begged our support and offered
to put up money to get it, failing
in ihis they, like the scared boy
passing by a grave yard whist
ling down his fears, are blowing
their little tin horns to make be
lievo thev are in no a<mgn uf de-
feat.

could only lay aside their politi-
cal prejudices iong enough to ex-
amine the merits and demerits of
—Yesterday was a big day for
Woodward, long before night a
large American flag was suspend
ed over the middle of the street
on a cord stretched from the
Race Track to Joe Masons saloon
with large lettered attachment,
•'Welcome Dennis." The Demo-
crats were not to be outdone,
they sent to Ft. Supply, borrow-
ed one very large banner and
two smaller ones and strung
them on a cord stretched from
the Light hotel to the Mercan-
tile establishment of York-Key
A Co. At 4 o'clock P. M. when
the train arrived there was a
large crowd met the distinguish
ed spou Iters at the depot and es
corted them to comfortable qwav
ters.
So far so good, but when the
sjieakers stand was erected a dis-
pute arose between the Demo
cratic and Republican committ-
ees as to how time was to be di-
vided between the speakers.
With sorrow and shame, wo say
no satisfactory agreement could
be nude, both wanted the advan
tagc, one was afraid and ihe
other dare not give the opponent
a chance to close, hence two
stands wore orected within hear-
ing distance of each other and
the grand farce was commenced,
Flynn having the largest crowd
from start to finish.
The people looked at it as we
did, that it was Mr. Flynns ap-
pointment, and it was discour-
tious for any other party to die
tate how his own meetings should
be conducted.

—At a meeting held at the of-
fice of Probate Judge Wednesday
night a committee of seven was
appointed from each of the four
parties in N county, to maVe the
noecessary arrangements for a
grand nonpartizan barbacue to
be held at Woodward. Tuesday
October 16th, 1894 everybody
should be there and lake part in
proceedings that will result in
harmony and good feelings
amongst the people. We failed
to get the names of committee-
men and other proceedings in

Wiggins would have little, or no
opposition for county treasurer.
He is capable, honest and trust-
worthy; he is a heavy tax payer,
a prominent citizen of your coun-
ty where he has invested every
dollar he could control. Public
spirited and free hearted to a
fault. A short time ago he sold
me building material for a school
house in the Rutman district on
nifteen months time, taking
the notes of the people, and sav
ing the district from a bonded in-
debtedness. What has either of
the other candidates for treasur
er done to build up your county
or educate your children' Mr.
Longdon, a nice young gentle-
man, has no property that we
know of. except a small residence
in Woodward, is working on a
salary loi a banking institution,
that will undoubtedly handle the
peoples money if he is elected.
Mr. Emmerson stands behind
another bank counter just across
the street where your money is
now kept, and where they would
like to have it remain. A good
businessman, smooth and gen-
teel. but we have nover heard of
his doing anything to build up
the county, or educate her chil-
dren. On the contrary, he openly
says, the salary as fixed by law
for treasurer is entirely too low
to support good oeficers, and
is walking up to the rack where
he gets more than double salary,
each and every quarter. These
are facts that every good citizen
should know, and ponder over,
before voting against such a
noble man as E. S. Wiggins.
