All the fine intricate maneuvering
in the Enid Republican convention
"was "directed by Assistant Secretary
Jim Huston yet Thompson and Grimes
manage to fake the credit.
The primary system for nominating
candidates for county offices has never
been ajsuccess. Such methods have
caused friction and factional strife and
the very harmony Bought for is smash-
ed to Btnithercens. It is not wise to
try primary experiments in Logan
county. Tho chances for fraud ae
too many. Wise Democrats will not
take kindly to primary proceedings.
The Hon. Billy Mason has discover-
ed a striking similarity between him-
self and tho late Daniel Webster. In
1S1M the deceased offered a resolution
sympathizing with Greece which na
lion was then engaged in a rebellion
against Turkey and the same was
quickly transferred to the senate
graveyard. It appears to be a sena-
torial hubit of long standing.
It is time to do away with jarring
and contention Many counties in the
territory are stirred up over the ques-
tion of fusion in county affairs. Rath-
er than have dissontion It were better
to. follow tho methods of the Democra-
tic and Populist parties nationally-
let each party proceed In the regular
order of nominating candidates and
let the party names remain intact.
Two sets of the Barae nominees would
caude no inconvenience.

JHtttE HOMES QUESTIOX IX DAKOTA
Here is the way the free homes mat-
ter is treated in South Dakota. The
Daily Press.'of Sijux Falls says:
No more striking illustration of the
value of perseverance pluck and leg-
islative skill in securing legislation
helpful to tho common people has ev-
er been made than in the case of the
free homes bill which has juBt passed
congress. This bill is of immense
benefit to South Dakota and particu-
larly to the settlers of the new lands
in tho central and western part of the
state and those who may settle there
in tho future. Its pfBage will add
many thousand fanner to our Btate.
It will make possible the settlement
of thousands of acres of land which
would otherwise remain for many
years unused And the bill was got
through congress only after a long
Btrugglo.
Let us recall some facts. This bill
was originally put through the senate
some five or six years ago by Senator
Pettlgrow. It met with opposition
from the Republican leaders. Senator
Pettigrew Becured the insertion of a
plank in the St. Louis platform of the
Republican party favoring the bill. It
baa then only begun to attract atten-
tion. But the senator brought up the
bill again and passed it through the
senate. It went to tho house a Re-
publican house in full control df the
friends of President McKinley. There
the bill was opposed by the spokes-
man for the Republican administra-
tion. Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio. In a
speech discussing this bill Grosvenor
said:
" Now I call your attention those
of you who are sought to be driven off
your feet by this talk about platforms
to that little plank of the St. Louis
platform which bears on its face the
evidence that it was promoted for some
special purpose. Whoever heard of a
great political party before that time
singling out a little bill that carried
with a prov'sion of relief for a few
settlers upon a few acres of the public
domain and making that a great plank
in a great political platform? It went
in there under circumstances that I
will not refer to and it went in there
under circumstances that were limited
and expected to bo limited in their
operations in tho presidential cam-
paign then just about to come."
These were the contemptuous terms
in which the spokesman for the admin-
istration on the floor of the house re-
ferred to tho plank for free homes in
the St Louis platform. His declara-
tion that the plank was put in there
merely to catch votes and not as a
pledge to be fulfilled defeated the
bill. Not a Republican member o'
congress at that time save alone the
aged Mr. Grow father of the home-
stead law.had a word for the bill. On
the voto 120 Republicans voted against
the bill and only 20 for it.
A less resolute and determined man
than Senator Pettigrew would have
given up an unequal contest after such
a defect. But he did not. He had
brought to his assistance the aid of
Mr.Eddy of Minnesota who stood out
against his party on this question and
declared that tfce pledge of his party
should be kept eyen if it was made
merely to catch votes. Senator Petti-
grew persisted and again passed the
bill through the senate. Again it
failed in the house but as tho national
campaign of 1900 approached the bill
gained friends even among the Repub-
licans who had hitherto treated it
with contempt finally it was passed
through tho house a republ'can house
when it was seen that to defeat it
agaiu would fasten forever upon the
Republican party the atigma Republi-
can politicians feared.
But for Senator Pettigrew's persist-
ence in spite of enormous odds the bill
never wduld have gone to the presi-
dent. The administration leaders dis-
tinctly repudiated tho free homes
plank of the St. Louis platform. They
claimed that it was placed thereun-
der circumstances that were peculiar"
and that its operation was intended to
be limited to tho "the presidential
campaign then just about to come."
But Senator Pettigrew forced them to
do simple justice to the western home-
steaders. It was a great triumph.

An Association "Will bo Formed Hero Next
Saturday.
Guy Reynolds the local agent of
the Wells-Fargo Express Company is
making an earnest endeavor to have
formed an association of the fruit
growers and melon raisers of Logan
county. Among those assisting him
are Frank Householder fruit raiser;
John Massey strawberry king W. U
Merten commission man and several
other big orchardists aud melon rais-
ers. Mr. Reynolds had arranged for a
meeting last Saturday but it devel-
oped not a great deal and adjourned
to next Saturday when a permanent
organization will be mude.
Mr Reynolds has much confidence in
the effectiveness of such an associa-
tion to raise the price of fine fruit and
melons and to create a market else-
where for the immense crop annually
raised in Logan county. He says there
is no need of fruit or melons rotting
in tho orchard and field when there
are people from 150 to 100 miles away
willing to pay fancy prices for first-
class products. He thinks satisfactory
shipping rates can be arranged for by
the Wells-Fargo Express Company and
all first-class fruit shipped to good
quick markets. He wants all raisers
interested in disposing of the great
crop to identify themselves with the
! association and aid in bringing tbout
these conditions which will be a source
of greit revenue from what has here-
tofore oeen one of almost total loss.
Stole Shoes.
Last Saturday the police arrested
Nute Nollies for stealing a pair of
Bhoes from a farmer. He is a negro
and had a hearing this morning before
Judge Mock who fined him 815 and
coBts. The Bhoes were returned to the
owner.
Marriage Licenses.
Today Judge Foster granted mars
riage licenses to two couples: Emil
Christian age 25 and Jennie Nagh
age 19 both of Colombia O. T. He
married them right on the Bpot.
A negro couple were given license:
Max M. YVlliamB age 25 and Sarah
Rector age 2G os Guthrie.

A man named Mason who lives in
Washita county nearSeeger Is in the
city looking for his runaway wife Ida
Mason who left her home on the 19tb
of AprL. The story ho tells is a most
peculiar one and indicates a surprising-
lack of interest in the matters leading
up to the final disappearance of the
wife. On the 19th of February Mason
says his wife left her homo to go to
Day county with a man named Phil-
lips his brother and brothel's wife.
She remained in Day county a month
and then Btaited home in a waeon
with Phillips a dibtanco of 150 miles.
That was tho last ever heard of the
couple Mason says his wife seemed
to be inlatuated with Phillips before
they left but he does not believe their
relations were at all improper and he
thinks the trip to Day county was all
square. r
