appeared upon oar table. It to a four
page, four column paper and makes up
in pugnacity and venom towards all
existing political condition* what it
lacks in eiis. The paper was former-
ly printed at Alva, from whence it
came to Grant county, doubtless bop
Ing that "a change of pasture would

Medford. It to thoroughly Socialistic
and don't care who knowt it.
Frank Matthewe is and always has
been an anti-Bryan man. He i« •
Cleveland Democrat of the old school.
Perhaps he is not entirely to blame for
this, as environments make men, and
he is formerly a Texas Democrat, a
regular southerner. No doubt h* will
give the people "nigger talk," as did
Hill Cross, aud, warm tbem up on "nig-
ger" equality. It will be natural as he
was raised that way. Down in Greer
county "nleger" talk takes. Iu Grant
i county the people are not Interested in
"uigger" abuse. Matthews may be
shrewder than Cross was and have two
speeches, one for the north, the other
for the south. He may even attempt
to placate the Bryan Democrats and
Pops.

Fok County Tisfa*vbeb—
The Republicans of Grant county
will please consider my candidacy for
the ollice of county treasurer, subject
to the d- cisiou • f the Republican coun
ty c nvention. Respectfully,
Dow Anderson
Let's see. It Parker and Davis
should be elected David 11 Hill would
most likely be in..de secretary of state.
If Parker should die, the succession
would lirst to D^vis, who is 81 years
old, then to Hill. How the Hry.tn
Deinoa.tts and Populists wouid reject?
over Hill as President of the United
States.
The candidates for President •>( the
United .States are not only numerous
but varied in their personalities The
candidate of the Personal Liberty par-
ty is io jail for conducting a disorderly
saloon at East St. Louis. His name is
W. T. Scott. A meeting of the execu-
tive committee has been called to re-
move him from the ticket and put
another person on. This is a case wherp
personal liberty does not prevail. Not
only has the law interfered to prevent
it but it seems his own party who make
the term a fundamental principle, are
themselves about to trespass upon its
vitality by removing him. He should
be retained as evidence of their belief
in what they advocate. His nomina-
tion is also evidence of the fact that
any man may be eligible to a nomina-
tion for the highest office in the gift of
the citizens of the United States.

The Republican county central com
mittee met as per notice at Pond
Creek last Thursday and made the nec-
essary arrangements for holding the
county convention. Medford waB se-
lected as the place and the date ilxed
w as Sept. 12, at 10 a. m. The date set
for holding the primaries was Sept. 9,
and It was recommended that tbe pri-
mary be held opeu not less than an
hour to elect delegates. The commis-
sioners conventions were set as fol-
lows; 1st district at Wakita, Sept. 19;
2nd district at Renfrow, Sept. 20; 3rd
district at I'ond Creek, Sept. 21. Dele-
gates to tbe commissioner conventions
to be elected the same time of those to
the county convention. Tbe appor-
tionment of delegates is placed at one
at large for each voting precinct and
one for each 15 votes or mlnbr fraction
thereof cast for B. S. McGuire in 1902.
The meeting was a very harmonious
one and all renewed their allegiance to
the party that has principles to pro-
mulgate and maintain. Several can>
didates were present.
The next regular date of tbe

The Watonga Hepubltcau, Governor
Ferguson's paper, In a lengthy editorial
wrltteu. or at least inspired by the gov-
ernor, replies to the statement going
tbe rounds of the Dem 'crfttlc l,re8B
that the territory would lose tbe f uUiis
which were deposited in the Capitol
National Bank when it failed. The
Republican very clearly states that
Gov. Ferguson had no greater knowl
edge of the condition of the bank than
other depositors; that whether be did
or not would have made uo difference
with the liability o' the bonding com-
panies who bad gone the batik's secur-
ity for the deposit. Tbe Republican
says that what the bank fails to pay-
when its affairs are adjusted the com-
panies will pay; the territory will Dot
lose a dollar. These companies could
not afford to refuse payment; and if
they did would be compelled to do so
by the courts.
Tbe action of the Democratic terri-
torial convention in condemning tbe
Hamilton statehood bill, which has
passed tbe House and awaits tbe con-
currence of the Senate, will cost Mat-
thews, their candidate several hundred
votes. The people of Oklahoma want
statehood in aome form. They are
tired of being out in the cold every
presidential election, sittiug on tbe
fence and watching the procession pass
by. The right of franchise to a dear
one to Americans, they like to vote,
whether it profits tbem or not. They
are tired of being wards of the Interior
department. If Matthews should per-
chance be elected on that platform be
would be in duty bound to oppose the
passage and approval of tbe statehood
bill now pending. Hut as Judge Bier-
erand Temple Houston assured the
convention that a refusal to endorse
tbe statehood bill would defeat the
candidate, there Is not much need of
worrying about it.

The assassination of the prime min-
ister of Russia while greatly to be re-
gretted becaube of the meanB used by
the people to secure relief from oppres-
sion, is no more than has been expect-
ed for some time, as other attempts
have been made upon his life. Yet
though there may have been grounds
for the action that brought about bis
death, we, io the most liberal govern-
ment on earth, have little to say about
this horrible means of subverting gov-
ernment. Three of our most beloved,
most honored presidents have been
slain by the assassin. There never liv-
ed an officer of tbe law more devoted
to tbe people than Lincoln or McKin-
ley. The assassination of the former
was the outgrowth of the civil war.
•*. the assassination of Wm. McKin-
• j was tbe result of Anarchistic and
- ocialistic propaganda, prejudice cre-
ited by presa and speeches against the
government of which be was the bead.
i'he death of Minister Plebve will not

itical evils. Though In Ruaala tbe

The Democratic press has been In-
dustriously circulating the report that
there were feelings of enmity between
Governor Ferguson and Delegate Mc-
Guire; that the governor had little or
no Interest in the election of Mr. Me-
Guire. The following clipping from
the Watonga Republican, Gov. Fergu-
son's paper on "The Outlook" should
put at rest all such silly stories. Gov.
Ferguson is and will do all he can to
secure Mr. McGuire's election:
"The congressional tickets are now
In the Held. The campaign is at the
door. The people will be called upon
to express a choice for congressional
delegate. There can be no reason for
hesitation as to that choice. Bird Mc-
Guire, the Republican nominee, should
receive the support of the people. He
will receive their support and be elect-
ed by a good majority. Why ? Because
the people know that he represents
something. They know that in him
there will be results, while with his op-
ponents no results are possible. His
opponents, anyone of them, would go
to congress, "not in sympathy" with
tbem. McGuire will return to a con
gress controlled bv his party. He can
do things and get things done In such
a congress. His opponents could not.
McGuire has been honest in his work,
He went to congress commissioned by
bis party to do a certain thing He
went there to try to get statehood for
Oklahoma alone. The party had so in-
structed bim. He stood up against all
opposition, battling hard and trying to
make good bis party pledge and carry
out his party's instructions, it could
not be done. Tbe Republicans In con-
gress would not have it so. The Re
publicans in Oklahoma, finding that
congress would not grant statehood sep
arate from the Indian Territory, au-
thorized Mr. McGuire at their last con-
vention to return to Washington and
work for any kind of statehood that
be can get or that congress will grant.
Mr. McGulie will go back to a Repub-
lican ooQgress, and in spite of Demo
cratic opposition will get statehood for
Oklahoma. The duty of the voter to
