Do the white people of Oklahoma
want to return to the conditions that
existed during the time in which we
wero a territory, whon a burly "nig
gor" occupicd tbe position of deputy
territorial auditor, and could be seen
at any time in Guthrie dictating let-
ters to his white girl stenograph*™
This is only au illustration of what
tbe conditions will be if the republi-
cans should succeed in getting con-
trol of tbe reins of state government
To the above question a democrat
could have but one answer, No! a
'thousand times, no; that such condi-
tions should exist.
There is absolutoly no fear that!
there is a chance of an occurrence of
this kind if the democrats will do
their duty Go to the polls and vote.

New York Herald.
The great V est is big Every year
the Kuat hears a new < rop of stories
about the bigne * of tbe West that
makes it marvel. Here is a portion
of this lost season's crop of big
stories of the things of tbe West:
During the corn growing times a
Kansas newspaper printed a startling
dispatch from the southern part of
the state saying that a uoy climbed
a corstau to see how th* clouds
looked and that the stalk was grow-
ing faster than tbe boy could climb
down
At the date of the dispatch the boy
was clear out of sight Three men
were engaged to cut dowu tbe corn-
stalk with axes to aa>e the boy from
starvation, but tbe stalk grew so
rapidly that they could not hit twice
in the same place. The boy was liv-
ing on green corn alone and had al-
ready thrown down more than four
bushels of corn.
The late fate of tbe boy is not
known. That is o fun nor importance,
anyway The great and burning
question is: Does cora really grow
that fast in Kansas.
A man whoso word has never been
disputed with any degree of success
went East with this story from South-
western Kansas: His two brothers
were working clearing out tho weeds
in a desterted pasture lot After

brothers returned to find tbe other
missing.
"Whore are you, Kb," be shouted.
"Here I am," he beard the answer-
before statehood, and we feel that no , volce of Rb coml from
honest, conscientious democrat can
bo contented to stay at home or de-
sert the grand old democratic princi-
pals. Keep this admonition well in
mind, and althought the election is
still some time off, when that day
rolls around don't be the one that has
failed to do his duty, but cast your
ballot for that brand of politics that
where near the fence.
"Well, shake a weed, 60 I can tell
where youe are." commanded th
brother.
