proves that he is not a good Republi-

A Little and Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish—A Remedy
For AH Hair Troubles.
ln a long, carefully woriled and pa-
triotic letter to the Star, W. L. Hus-
ton announces that he has withdrawn
from the race for nomination as com-
missioner from the Third district of
Logan county. In his letter Mr. Hus-
ton takes a broad, pra.ctical view of
the conditions and dc.elaros that he
is at all times ready and willing to do
whatever seems for the good of the
county, the city of Guthrie and for t)u
success of the party, and that he has
carefully considered >and icansulted
regarding the entire situation before
taking this step.
The following are two paragraphs;
of Mr. Huston's letter:
"Any one who will not lay aside]
his 'political ambitions for the good
of his party and for the welfare of
Guthrie Is not worthy of an office.
"Guthrie has been wronged. Not
by her own people, but by 'he land
grafters of Oklahoma City, but she
will by the vote8 of the honest peo-
ple of the state come into her own.
She Is the natural, logical seat of the
state government and after Novem-
ber the people will have no other."
