That Enid Caucus.
The Enid Events gives a detailed
J account of tly; personnel of the Gar-
ber caucus recently held in Enid,
from which Ave quote:
The caucus was a duplication of
the Hainer caucus of a year and a
half ago. Like the Ilainer caucus
it was the results of the work of our
friend Matt Disney, of Billings.
Prior to the recent meeting, Matt
made a trip over the district, held
conferences with the malcontetns,
arranged with them to come oyer
to Enid and set the date. Then he
invited such men in Enid and over
Garfield county that he wanted, told
them when and where the meeting
was to be held and the great "spon-
taneous gathering" was pulled off.
Matt makes no,secret of his gclev
ance against McGuire. He had the
same grievance two years ago. Matt
wanted a certain person appointed
postmaster at Billings. McGuire
appointed somebody else—therefore
Matt is out for revenge. He was
out for revenge last time and, not-
withstanding Matt's opposition,
McGuire increased bis majority 17
in Billings over the time before.
Kay county was represented by
Young Head ley and Frank LamuurL,
Head ley is the son of the Ponca ( ity
Courier and Lambert is the son-in-
law oi the Courier. Mrs. Baker, a
cultured and rafined woman, is post-
master at Ponca City. Their idea
I of politics was that Mrs. Baker be
fired ,and that they be given the
post office, but the Postmaster Gen-
eral thought that so long as Mrs.
Baker was giving satisfaction it
would be contrary to policy to fire
her. So the Hcadleys and the
Lamberts are ribbing up a factional
fight against McGaire.
Spencer, of Kaw City, was an-
other representative of Kaw County
to attend the meeting. Spencer runs

nd 27 other cities, is here with every modern
lethod for performing Painless and up-to-date

WIsST
iotel Riley, Foraker, Okla.
which he says is an "independent
paper," He supported lfainer against
McGuire last campaign and so ef-
fective was his work that Hainer
secured one vote in Kaw City, all
of which exhibits that Spencer was
indeed able to control his own vote,
in spite of the contrary apprehen-
sions of those who know him best.
After MoGuire's nomination Spencer
bolted the nominee and supported
Johnson, the democratic candidate,
in the election. He also supported
the entire democratic^ticket—and so
powerful was his influence that Mc-
Clure and the republican ticket re-
ceived a largeiy .increased vote in
that vicinity.
A. II. Bole3 of Guthrie was the
only Logan county man who attend-
ed the causus, and he is against Mc-
Guire because McGuire displaced
his brother as register of the Guth-
rie land office.
Johnny Ilinkle was the only man
who attended the caucus from
Payne county. Johnny berates
McGuire because he was unable to
land the Stillwater postofiice. And
it was not McGuire's fauty either
that Johnny did not land. McGuire
was for him, but certain affidavits
were filed against Johnny alleging
coriain facts that he probably does
not desire us to here recite.
Senator Browntee was the only
representative from Kingfisher eoun-
ty. And Emory was ashamed that
he attended, going back to Kingfish-
er and denying that he took any
part in the meetiug. Browntee
boosts that he always was agaiust
McGuire, and says if he can't beat
McGuiie, any other way, he will
tlirow in with the democrats and
legislate him out of office.
O. J. Brad field of Lamont, was
the only man who attended the cau-
cus from Grant county and he made
a speech at the caucus stating that
it wotfld be a mistake for Garber
to announce for congress and that he
j would not support him and he re-
j turned home and has been support-
; ing McGuire in his paper.ever since.
There was no representative at
| the caucus from Lincoln county.
There was no representative at
flic caucus from Pawnee county.
There was no representative at
the caucus from Noble county.
There was 110 • representative at
the cancus from Osage countv.
And the Grant county representa
tive was against the proposed can-
didacy.
Thus we have five counties out of
the ten in the district in which even
the diligent searching of Mr. Dis-
ney was unable to discover any
malcontent who was sore euougl
to accept the invitation extended to
attend.
Thtre were 42 men in the caucus
all told, all except a very few resid
ing in Garfield county.
It is therefore evident that the
much heralded popular meeting,
instead of being an "uprising of
the people," was merely a star
chamber proceeding participated in
mainly by malcontents and insur-
gents who desired to undermine
McGuire and foment a big faction-
al fight in the republican party.
And in becoming a candidate for
the nomination as an "Insurgent,"
and as an enemy of "Cannon, Ald-
I rich and the governmental trust" as
•Judge Garber defines it—reallv
I meaning the republican national
j organlation as at present constitut-
ed, Jqdge Garber made a decided
and unqualified mistake. If his
position represents his principles
the duty of ali republicans is clearly
outlined.
As a matter of fact Judge Garber
hasn't even a fighting chance of car-
rying a single county in the district
with the possible exception of Gar-
field county and McGuire would
beat him two to one on the issues in
this county were it not for the fact
that hundreds of republicans will be
influenced here on the "home man"
proposition. Judge Garber has sim-
ply been the victim of bad advisors
He has listened to juvenile enthusi-
asts ami to the quackings of disap-
pointed office-seekers from ovtr the
district. lie has mistaken the wail
ef political hatred and despair for
a call from the people. He has
>een led into opposing republican-
policies by the ping-wbinging of
clap-trap.
And if he persists in the race and
attempts to maintain the issues that
he has raised he will find himself
fighting outside the republican party
and not inside. President Taft and
Chairman Hitchcock have both
made this point decidedly clear.
Kay County in Line.
The Kdy county Republican com-
mittee met Saturday and passed a
strong set of resolutions, that have
the true republican ring.
Ater' endorsing President Taft
and his administration, and the
new tariff bill; the republican con-
gressmen from Oklahoma forsuport-
ting the Payne tariff bill; endors-
ng Dennis Flynn for governor, and
commending the state eonimittee
for its vigorous fight against the
vicious Taylor election law, tbe
committee ondorsed Congressman
McGuire by unanimously passing
the following strong resolution:
"We most heartily commend the
action of our able representative in
congress, the Hon. Bird McGuire,
for his efforts in b«half of the con-
stituency, and not only of his own I
district, but of the entire state, llis
passage of the bill removing re '
strictions from some 16,000,000)
acres of Indian lands has saved the I
taxpayers of this state thousands I
of dollars that would have had to I
j come out of the pockets of the cit-
izenship of the western half of Ok-
lahoma. His advocacy of special
legislation affecting the various
parts of the first district meets with
our hearty approval. His untiring
efforts in behalf of the old soldier
constituency is commendable to an
extreme degree. In his able advo-
cacy of the educational institutions
of the state he has won the thanks
of all the people. Our preparatory
school at Tonkawa has been especi-
ally benefitted by his securing the
appropriation of 150,000 acres of
land for its use, the securing of an
entire section of land adjoining the
city of Tonkawa, to be sold and
the proceeds appled to the further-
ance of that institution, and the re-
moval by special legislation of re-
strictions preventing the building
of said institution."
