of them. Again st one of them
was assessed a judgement of
$100 for damages; agaiust the
other a judgement of $7 was
rendered and an ad ditional sum
of |50 was assessed for smart
money, because the inspector
had maliciously quarantine the
plaintiff to do him harm. Yet
both of these inspectors are still
iD the service, with the approv-
al of Gov. Frantz. I n another
case the inspectors instituted
unjust proceedings against a
farmer to make an example of
him, to intimidate the rest; they
brought suit against the farmer
for moving cattle on a verbal
order from a certain inspector,
though the verbal order had been
re enforced by a written one
from the same inspector after
the cattle had been moved.
Although the prosecution was
brought before a judge who
over-ruled nearly every bit of
evidence introduced by the
farmer in his defense, the jury
brought in a verdict against the
inspectors.
in this breach of promise.
Now we are informed that all
inspection has been withdrawn
from Payne county, and that the
county is placed below the
quarantine line. What does this
mean, and when was it done? It
means that the republicans of
Payne county in their con ven-
tion adopted a platform condem-
ning the action of the Live Stock
Sanitary Commission and the
inspectors, and debouncing as
unconstitutional the statute up-
on which they base bheir action
—the attorney who wrote the
platform found it necessary to
defend his client, the
sheriff; besides the county, ticket
needs the votes of the abused
farmers and stock raisers. This
was done Saturday afternoon,
Aug. 17, and Frantz was immedi-
ately advised of the action of the
convention. He too felt that he
needed the votes of these self-
same abused farmers, so he
called the Sanitary Commission
together as early as possible,
which was Monday, Aug. 19; and
an order was issued, removing
ispectors. an oraer was issueu, icu.u..„6

Ballard Would
Debate With him
Bird McGuire was in town yes-
terday looking after political
fences. Perry Ballard, candi-
date for representative and a
champion of the constitution,
drove in about the satno time aud
promptly expressed a willing-
ness to discuss issue with Dele-
gate McGuire then or on any
other occasion. Mr. Ballard is
a plain farmer, by his own
choice, but is qualified to con-
tend with any little old congress-
man.—Yale Record.

Must Feel Small
Judge Sam Smith must feel
mighty small running on a plat-
form which denounces tho quar-
antine law as unconstitutional
and the rules of tho inspectors
as unreasonable, iniquitous and
unjust, when ho had just gotten
through deciding them both rea-
sonable and constitutional and
had upheld the inspectors in
every respect, and having shown
so much animosity and feeling
against the farmers that they
had to take a change of judge in
order to get a square deal in the
other cases, swaring them away
from him because of his preju-
dice and bias.

Asp for the United
State Senate
How would our good friends,
the republicans, like to have
Henry Asp represent tnem in
ihe United States? That is what
a republican legislature would
mean. It is generally under-
stood among republican leaders
that Henry E. Asp and Clarence
B. Douglass will be United
States sentors form Oklahoma,
if the republicans carry the
legislature. And Henry is their
logical candidate, too.
Why not Cromwell?
Why didn't the republicans
