According to the Star if you
don't do just as the bosses tell you
and take whatever they are a mind
to give, you are a wolf. The indi-
cations are that wolves will be pret-
ty thick in Greer county in Novem-
ber.
Non-partisan tickets seem to
be quite popular. In both Roger
Mills and Washita counties the peo-
ple are doing just what they are do-
ing here in Greer, divorcing nat-
ional party politics from local poli-
tics.
Ex-Governor Barnes acted I
very indiscretely when he aired his
factional party grievance before the
Oklahoma Day Club meeting. It ;
furnished the democratic papers a j
straw to catch on to and they have j
been grabbing at it vigorously.
The action of the Mississippi
Democrats in dropping Bryan is
followed by the announcement
that Mr. Cleveland will go fishing
in that state. Before the cam-
paign is over Grover may be in-
vited to a coon hunt in Missouri.—
Globe-Democrat.
Democratic candidates are out
early and late now beating the
bushes in the grand round up of
democratic voters for the primar-
ies on May 24. They are getting
every man possible to promise to
attend the primary whether he be
democrat, republican or populist.
Don't go to the primary "just to
help out a friend. He wouldn t
do as much for you. If you ex-

senate committee on territories un-
til the short session.
In large type Mr. Bryan asks
Democrats in his paper: "Are
you opposed to giving the control
of the party organization into the
hands of the sulkers, skulkers and
shirkers who sold out the Demo-
cracy in 1896 and 1900, and who
seek now to secure the leadership
of the party they betrayed."
Like the ghost of Banquo, Bryan
refuses to down, and although
politically dead as the proverbial
doornail his political ghost still
haunts, worries and disturbs the
democratic party.
The republican territorial con-
vention met at Guthrie last Satur-*
day aud decided that the next ter-
ritorial republican congressional
convention shall be held at Enid, 011
Wednesday, June 25. According
to the representation decided upon
there will be 479 delegates in the
convention. Greer county is given
eight delegates. Governor Fergu-
son, as chairman of the committee,
presided, and iu his opening ad-
dress he said: "I see before me
one hundred men, any one of whom,
in the race for congress, could beat
the candidate from Kansas City—
Bill Cross.'"
The Republican party has a
particularly strong incentive to as-
sail the trusts at the present time.
It is actively attacking one of them,
the beef combine, and it must move
against all the rest of them as op-
portunity offers. There is not the
slightest doubt that this is the pol-
icy which is demanded by the ma-
jority of the party, and by the ma-
jority of the American people. The
suit against the beef tru«t is being~f-|
prepared and will be pushed with
vigor. The case agaiust the rail-
road merger is pending. Whenev-
er a trust manifests any pernicious
activity it will be the pleasure of
the republican party to attack it.—
Globe-Democrat.
The bill providing statehood fbr
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari-
zona, as it passed the house, con-
tains a special provision in regard
to the constitution of Oklahoma.
It provides that the people of
Oklahoma in their constitution of
statehood shall by irrevocable ordi-
nance express their consent that the
Indian territory, in whole or in
part, may at any time be annexed
to and become part of the state of
Oklahoma. There is a difference
of opinion as to what should
eventually be done with the Indian
territory and this provision leaves
it for congress to decide in future
whether to make it a part of
Oklahoma, or not.

Call for a Citizens' Convention.
In accordance with instructions
of the Citizens' preliminary mass
convention held in Mangum on
Saturday, April 19, a Citizens' non-
partisan delegate nominating con-
vention is hereby called to meet in
Mangum 011 Saturday, June 7, at
11 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of
choosing candidates for the various
county offices to be filled at the
coming November election. Each
candidate is to be selected for his
true worth and qualifications for
that particular office and with no
regard to his National party affili-
ations, and the ticket is to be called
the Citizens' Ticket.
Precinct conventions are to be
held in each voting precinct of the
county on Saturday, May 17, for
the purpose of selecting delegates
to the county convention and elect-
ing a precinct committee of three
members, the chairman of which
shall be a member of the new coun

dear lesson and having learned
these things we should profit by
the past.
Just think for a moment how
high the taxes have been for the
last few years and more especially
last year and the question now
arises what has become of all of
that tax money.
How can we as a liberty loving
people fold our hands and let
things go from bad to worse.
But let us arouse and come to
the help and support of the Citi-
zens' ticket, and elect men regard-
less of politics who will ever be
found laboring for the good of our
county.
The democrats insist on us help-
ing them out in the primary and
after that we can vote as we please,
now is there any logic in a thing
like that, we cannot see the point.
So let us, who favor the Citizens'
ticket, stay away from the primary,
and let us all who love oyr grand
old county come together and work
for its good and we will all be
benefited thereby.
