! ANNOUNCEMENTS
**********************
The following announcements
are subject to the Democratic
Primary.
For Governor,
Wm. H. MURRAY.
For Register of Deeds,
.1. B. OVERTON.
I. G. DOUGLASS.
For Public Weigher,
J. H. SCRUGGS.
There is not a Republican
newspaper in the state, whose
editor is not a candidate for a
federal appointment, that does
not agree with The Times in
reference to federal appointees
and applicants running the Re-
publican party.- Oklahoma city
Times.
Evidently believing that the
house of representatives is a big
garden seed house, a Wagoner
county constituent of Congress-
man Creager of the Third Okla-
homa district, has written Mr.
Creager the following letter:
"Wagoner, Okla.
'Mr. C. E. Creager,
Dear Friend: I reseaved your
Letter and all So your seeds and
would Like to Know the price of
Onion Seed By Pound and all so
the sets. I neede a number of
them So Let me Herd from you
soon.
"Respectfully,
"p. s.—theres Lots of People
Wants to order seeds from Your
House."
Railroads and the Federal Courts.
The much fearel event has
happened. As is usually the case
the federal court has butted in-
to our local affairs ana has de
cided against Oklahoma's two-
cent passenger rate. Our consti-
tution provides that when any
railroad is unable to earn a fair
dividend on its investments at
this rate by showing such fact
to the corpoiation commission, it
•hall be exempt from the opera
tion of this law. Only five ap
plications have been made for
relief by the railuoads every one
of wnich has been granted.
It now seems that tne Santa
Feand the Katy knowing they
would be unaole to show that
they are not earning a fair divi-
dend under the present law; and
not desiring to submit a full
statement to the commission,
brought suit in tho federal
court asking that an injunction
against the corporation commis-
sion be issued, This injunction
a 2 by 4 St. Louis Judge grant-
ed The cnse will be carried to
the higher courts but, in the mean
time the peoplo will bo forced to
pay higher freight and passen-
ger rates
It is such decisions as this
handed down by appointed Judgs
who have been corporation
lawyers and who are still corpo-
ration judges, which will cause
the people to rise in their might
and administer at the polls a re
buke to the pollitical party which
stands for appointive judges.
If the people are capaole of
electing their executive and their
legislative officers, they are also
capable of electing the judiciary.
And until they obtain this right
all roform is impossible, for the
trusts still say " let us appoint
the judges and we care not who
makes the laws."
Any one can be a hog if tries
hard enough, and with some
people it requires very little
effort.
Our Washington Letter,
uncle Job's unpopularity.
It is remarkable what a plight
the Republicans are in. Phey are
afraid to fire Uncle Joe and they
are afraid to keep nim The
three Oklahoma Republicans are
now sorry they began as stand
patters and as Joe Cannonites.
Poor old Daddy Morgan of the
2nd district wants to be an in-
surgent but McGuire and Crea-
ger tens him to stay with Uncle
Joe and he stays. It's pitiful to
see him dodging and ducking
McGulreand Creager and great
standpatters. They are the
worst in Congress. It's too bad
that Oklahoma has to be misrep
resented in this way. Her best
Republicans do not indorse this
or even believe they are right.
POSTAL SAVING BANK.-1
The American Congress is
so m to vote on this Bill. They
are working on the matter in the
Senate and have the bill practic-
ally completed. If the bill con
tains a provision to keep all mon-
ey deposited in the state of the
Po&tal Banks it will probably re
ceive pretty general support and
if it arranges to carry all the
money to the preat centers, to
the empoverishment of the iura
districts, it will receive largely
the disaproval of the south and
east.
TAFT unpopular.
The President makes many
mistakes and his first one was to
line up with Joe Cannon and Al-
ricli. His largest and worst one
is to try to destroy the little
weekly publications and dimin
ish the circulation of all publica
tions and deny poor people the
right to read, to know and under-
stand. It was a sad day when
Teddy Roosevelt put nis 0. K.
on Taft ahd got the people to
elect him President.
GORE AND owen active.
They differ widely as men and
as senators but they both occupy
a prominent place with all who

Options on 25 of the best Farms
in Harmon County, Oklahoma.
We make the best 8 per cent
Farm Loan in the state and pay
you the money in Hollis just as
soon as the papers are signed.
We have buyers for these
Farms and if you want to sell, see
know them here. Owen has
grown to be an authority on bank-
ing and will be of great service
to the state < nd to the country
in tin framing of the new Postal
Saving Bank law. This is a time
when well informed men are
needed and we have one from our
own state. He has a prominent
place on this committee and the
state should be proud of him.
Gore is alwabs working and slav-
ing to do something for his state
and his people.
It will be remembered that
two years ago when Scott berris
of the fifth Oklahoui.i district be,-
gan his fight for the annihilation
of gambling in farm products
and the futher tight for an open
an 1 honest market upon which
the farmers of the country could
sell their products, many laugh-
ed and said it would never come
to pass. Today how changed.
We find a half hundred bills on
the subject and demands for the
legislation from every corner of
the country. We also and that
President Taft has promised to
send a special message to con-
gress advising the legislation.
How little do any of us know
what honest and well directed
effort will bring about. This
legislation will doubtless become
the law of the land this winter.
Scott's friends are congratula-
ting him both in Washington and
from home. Scott feels proud
and says the next thing he is go
ing to tackle is to bring about
Some kind of improvementof tft.fl
public highway, or section line
road. He has introduced a bill
on the subject and it would do
any citizen interested in the sub-
ject good to write for the bill. J t
provides how the government i
and the state can co operate and
it is a good oil!. He says ninety
per cent of tne travel is along the
section line and the government
has been appropriating money
for waterways and railroads
every since time began. He
thinks it now time to legislate
some for the man who resides on
the section line. He says he
wants the ninety per cent to
catch up with the ten per cent.
Write for a copy of his bill.
High priced living and no cor-
responding increase in wages.
The wail is abroad in the land
to-day that the manufacturer is
getting richer while the toiler is
getting poorer. This is true It
is said that the manufacturer
under the high tariff has no com
petition and he may charge what
he will for his product while he
may pay what he will for his help
I? an American^ boy or uii l cau-
not work for the wa«e his em-
ployer will advise them to quit
that lie can get oriental help for
hnlf of the price.
This is not the brand of pros-
perity that increases patriotism.

J. H, Scruggs.
We take pleasure in announc-
ing J. H. Scruggs as a candidate
for re-election to the office of
Public Weigher. Mr. Scruggs
was selected to till this office at
the last election and has already
demostrated his fitness for it.
His fair treatment of both buyer
and seller has won for him the
confidence of farmer and mer-
chant alike. He has spared n.,
pains, time nor money to keep
everything in his department in
proper condition. His books are
well kept and his yard well at
tended to-
Mr. Scruggs-h«*s been to con-
siderable expense in getting
ready Tor the work of his office.
Tho present term has been for
only a very short time and the
crop last year was very limited.
On this account he would appre
ciatea reelection. He is also
especially anxious to have the j
p *<ple of Harmon county express
their approval of his work bv
castiug a favorrble ballot at the
polls. A most Otting reward for
a public duty well preformed is
re-election to the office held.
