| Eagleton On School Lands.
I Hird McGuire with his usu;tl
| total disregard of th.i truth is
| telling that. W. L. Eagleton is
against ihe sale of school lands.
The reason is obvious Hird
seeks to discredit Eagleton be
fore the lessees so that he may
get their votes.
Now this stctment of Bird's is
on a parity with another he
frequently makes, to wit: that
ha (Bird) is in favoref statehood,
and both statements are made
for votes only.
Five years ago the Tribune
editor, then iu the mid>t of a
great educational campaign for
the sale of school lands, met W.
L. Eagleton op »■ train and held

v oca to o' whatever lie thinks i*
right, mid he thinks the sals of
ichml lands not only the h«*Nt for
the leasees hut the itest for our
citizenship and the best for our

Bird's attempt to discredit him
is bound to react.
lielow is the plank on thU
quest ion adopted at the Enid
convention which nominated
Eagleton and which was earnest
ly requested by him, and was
commend'd in his address of
accepts nee:
"We favor Ihe immediate sale
of nil .school, indemnity and other
public laud with preference
right of purchase to the lessee
at a fait appraised valuation,
undar such rules and regulations
as wilI protect alike the inter-
ests of the lessees and the school
fund, aud we favor the invest-
ment of the proceeds as a perm
anent school endowment undor
the terms and provisions of Art.
