FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1908.
OUR CHOICE FOR 1908,
For President,
W. J. BRYAN.
The question that is foremost in
the minds of some people now is, will
Taft be as good a bear hunter as
Teddy was?
Teddy helped to nominate Bill
Taft, but it appears that the cor-
porations wrote the platform on
which lie is to make his race.
all the way from Washington to ad-
vise the people of Oklahoma to vote
down tho Oklahoma constitution
(because the Democrats wrote it)
made his first bid for the negro vote
on June 20th. On that date, as sec-
retary of war, he directed the quarter-
master general of the army to reserve
a suitable plot of ground at the
Arlington cemetery as a site for a
monument in special honor of negro
soldiers who lost their lives in the
civil war. It has beet#' a long
time since the civil war—about 43
years—and it is very strange that no
secretary of war ever thought of
throwing such a bouquet to the negro
until just after this Secretary Taft
was nominated for president. O,
well, the people’s money had just as
well be partly spent in booming Taft
for president as in any other mis-
managed way that the Republican
powers down at Washington might
spend it. Taft might win, but it
will not be by the help of Oklahoma.
Teddy helped to nominate Bill
Taft, but it appears that the corpora'
tions wrote the platform on which he
is to make his race.
A man by the name of J.S. Sher-
man, unknown in the western
country and perhaps outside the state
of New York, where he lives, was
placed on the ticket with Mr. Taft as
the nominee for vice-president. But
as a vice-president is but a figurehead
it makes little difference who lie
is so long as the head of the ticket is
alive and well.
“The third time is the charm.” W.
J. Bryan will be the Democratic
nominee for president again this year,
which will make his third race for
the highest office in the gift of the
people. The Democratic party knows
that there is no other man in the
Union, in or out of the Democratic
party who is the equal of Mr. Bryan,
and that’s the reason they are deter-
mined that lie shall make the third
race for the presidency. If he is
beaten, then the old adage will stand
for naught.
The Medford Patriot speaks of its
love for the negroes in almost every
issue of that paper now, and appears
to condone the fact that there are no
negroes in that town. Well, Palmer,
when Medford gets to be a city of
Manchester’s importance then, and
not until then, will she be able to
boast of having negroes in her vicinity.
But so far as the Journal and ninety-
nine hundredths of the people of Man-
chester are concerned, Medford can
have her share of the negroes, and
Manchester’s too. Our folks are not
yet altogether disgusted with the
white race.
The tight in Kansas for the Repub-
lican primary nomination for United
States senator, between Chester I
Long and Joe Bristow, is waxing hot
ter and hotter every day. One promi-
nent and trustworthy Republican at
Anthony informed us Monday that
Bristow has far the best of the race
there and that a reasonably close poll
of the town reveals the fact that
Chester I , the railroad senator from
that state, has but twelve followers
in the whole town of Anthony. This
is just an even dozen more than he de-
serves. There is no sane reason why
any man in Kansas, unless he is holder
of stocks in a railroad, should vote for
Long for senator.
TnEODOKB Roosevelt was the
choice of the Republican national con-
vention for president of the United
States. This is evidenced from the
fact that on the day before the
nomination was made, and while the
convention was assembled, the simple
reference to Roosevelt’s name in the
convention brought forth an applause
that lasted for forty-five minutes—
think of it—forty-five minutes! But
the next day. when the arrangement
was to name Bill Taft for their
standard bearer, Teddy’s name was
The Manchester Journal has opened
its mud batteries on Bird McGuire,
the man of all others who has done so
much for Oklahoma.—Medford Pa-
triot.
Call it “mud” if you want to, Mr.
Palmer. We simply mentioned the
fact that Bird McGuire, who has been
misrepresenting the people of Okla-
homa in congress before statehood, by
his opposition to the measure for con-
gress to appropriate funds with which
to pay the deficiency caused by the
constitutional convention, attempted,
and did succeed in saddling that debt
onto the shoulders of the people of
Oklahoma, merely from the fact that
the state is Democratic and'that the
Democrats wrote the constitution.
Bird was fighting the adoption of the
constitution then—the same as Bill
Taft was—and of course he couldn’t
consistently fight the adoption of the
constitution and at the same time
sanction the payment by congress of
the deficiency caused by the holding
of the Democratic constitutional con-
vention. The convention was Demo-
cratic because the people made it so.
The people of Oklahoma, because a
majority of them are Democrats,
must be taxed to pay that deficiency
because Bird McGuire helped to de-
feat the appropriation in congress
before Teddy sat down so hard on the
Republican pie hunters in the great
new state. What the people want is
facts, and Bird having used his influ-
ence to tax the people of Oklahoma to
pay that debt, it is but right that
they should know it, even if Bird is a
Republican and wants to be re-elected
to congress.
REO AUTOMOBILES
Reo Automobiles are made in three
styles-Touring Car. Roadster and
Runabout. The cut above shows the
Roadster, one of the swiftest, most
durable, easiest riding and cheapest
machines, all things considered, that
is on the market today. The Roadster
lias an emergency seat behind, a
pretty box when doubled up, but it
opens up a cushioned seat and four
people can ride as well as two.
In the Reo Touring Car, where
you want to take the whole family,
there is nothing that beats them.
There are five of these cars in daily
use in Manchester, and they do their
work to perfection.
Again, these cars are within the
reach of most people in this part of
the country. It is a mistakeu idea
ttiat people must be rich to own and
operate an automobile. You brought
no wealth with you when you came to
this world, and you cannot take any
away. When it comes to operating
and caring for one of these machines,
I would rather have the skill of an
experienced farmer, as a general rule,
than that of the business man in town,
and there is no reason whatever why
many our farmers should own automo-
biles. A large per cent of • hem could
own autos if they only thought so,
and their heads are level enough to
run them. To get the best results
and the longest life, they require the
same care that any other machine re-
quires, and properly cared for and
properly used they will last for years.
I have taken the agency at Manch-
ester for these, and other makes of
cars (though 1 consider the Reo super-
ior to any other make) and will make
the closest possible price to any and all
who contemplate buying.

MARKET LETTER.
Special to the Journal.
Kansas City, Mo., June 22, 1008.
Small receipts of live stock began to
arrive here last Thursday, and there
was a pretty good run on Friday.
Rains west of us late last week kept
the rivers here in a threatening state,
and above the danger line. This has
held down the run today, which
amounts to 3000 cattle, 5500 hogs and
3000 sheep. There was a big bieak in
cattle prices at all the markets last
week, account of liberal supplies,
especially of quarantine cattle. The
daily newspapers in the big cities all
over the country have exploited the
high price of beef lately to such an
extent that consumption has been
greatly curtained, which, together
with the heavy runs, put buyers in a
position to hammer the market
successrully. Prices are steady to 10
lower today, and whereas a top of 800
or better would have been possible a
week ago for fancy steers, $7.00 would
be about the limit today. Sales of
steers ranged from 5.25 to 6.90 here
today. Cows and heifers are also
lower today, at 3.00 to 6.50. The hog
market opened five higher, but im-
proved up to the close, when sales
averaged 15 higher, top 5.90, bulk 5.70
to 5.85. Quality of sheep is not very
good today, market slow, choice
spring lambs worth 6.50, muttons 4.00
to 5.25. The stock yards, with the
exception of the quarantine cattle
yards, are in as good condition as be-
fore the late flood, and all the
facilities for handling stock are in
use. The quarantine cattle yards
will be in operation in a few days, if
the river continue to fall. With the
exception of the Morris plant, all the
packing houses are in operation and
will be able to produce their usual
output within a day or two. Morris
& Co., are buying live stock for ship-
ment to their plants at other points.
All the railroads out of Kansas City
are open and outside order buyers are
in the market the same as before the
flood.

TO SCHOOL BOARDS.
The current report that the term of
office of all the members of the school
board expires this year, and that the
present boards are prohibited from
employing teachers for the ensuing
year is incorrect. The Williams bill
as finally passed and approved mere-
ly postpones the date of the annual
meeting.
