TACTS AJtOVT FIWSPBttlTT.
It is a fashionable featute of cam-
paign argumenc just now to talk of
Republican prosperity" although le-
gitimate prosperity ended with the
dawn of the new year.
The effects of inflation although
still -yifcSb'.c in many quarters are
gradually.sabsiding and by next Octo-
ber our Republican friends will be
ready to talk of . "Democratic advers-
ity." Daring the past month the follow-
ing labor it;tns have been noted:
The Washington Mills one of the
plants of the American .Woolen Com-
pany employing 5000 hands have
been shut nown.
' Eighteen mills of the American
Steel company have discontinued work
and in themines of the Lake' Super-
ior and Menominee region wages have
been cut 10 to 15 per cent. Outputs
have been curtailed 2500000 tons and
labor will suffer accordingly.
The rail mil) billet mill and furnac-
es composing the plant of the Lorain
Steel company at Lorain Ohio hare
closed down.
'lbe Clinton Cotton Mills of Clinton
L.. have ceased operation and the
output throughout the state has been
curtailed.
All over the country the railroads re
port decreased earnings. This shows
more plainly than anything else that
the tide of prosperity is on the ebb.
The St. Paul the Rock Island and
the Burlington showed a decrease of
2530000 in net.earnings for the montn.
The Louisville fc Nashville earnings
decreased 13l;521 and the Southern
Pacific S107.726.
When talking of prosperity for cam-
paign purposes Republicans should
not fail to mention these things as
they may find occasion to forget later
on and attribute them to the effect of
Democracy.
THE CAPITAZ TO THE XESCUE.
In a lengthy editorial pleading for
harmony and weighing the differences
between FJynn and Barnes the State
Capital the bold fearless and ag-
gressive organ of republicanism in
Oklahoma aay.s:
"Let any person who suffers from
fal ing of the) room rent pains
in the back rheumatism phys-
ical decline nervousness weak kid-
neys or Btomach or any of the evi-
dences of the loss of stiength in the
blood or nerves apply the Dr. Soakem
Electric Belt for a few tveeks and a
perfect restoration to health and
strength is assured. If you have been
violently bowled over in a political
game this belt if worn in connection
with Dr. Sox's tansey pellets will
grow hair on your stomach and de-
velop endorsements on your vermi-
form. One pill taken every minute
will make you active and energetic
and cause the eyes to glisten. Gov.
Barnes wears the Soakem Electric
belt and has experienced sev-
eral delightful shocks. Read
our testimonials. -Dear what Judge
Cunningham has to say: "Dear Doc-
tor Soakem: Have for three years used
your electric belt for heart liver and
lights now I have electric lights."
Naturally enough the above caustic
appeal for harmony from the Capital
will doubtless cause the rank and file
Republicans to get together. As the
Capital well Bays: "Let Flynn and
Barnes cut each other's throat; what
care we." That the Capital is preju-
diced in favor of both Barnes and
Flynn Is easily discernible. Neverthe-
less and notwithstanding we believe
Governor Barnes is entitled to all the
rights of the private citizen and if he
desires to enter the lists in competition
with "Constant Reader" "Veritas'
and "Vox Populi" we cantsee no rea-
son why the Capital should wish to
balk him.
Butas we have heretofore remarked
wo are truly glad that the brave
champion of Republicanism the Stite
Capital has broken its Sphinx-like
silence and can discuss issues other
than those hidden in the ''frilled
shirt" front of Bob Neff.
In his open letter Cash gets jocular.
List to this: "I have supported the
nominee of our party for delegate to
congress in every campaign we have
had by speech and by contribution
and probably would do so now if I be-
lieved the republican party in serious
danger of defeat. I have always paid
my own expenses and neer received a
doljar from any committee." "If I
believed tne republican party in seri-
ous danger of defeat" Whoa guv.
6moko up.
We have all heard the 6tory of the
hurried man who kicked the jack rab-
bits out of hiB path in order ta get a
clear course. Well that is the way
MY.4 Poland will sro throutrh thi6 cam
paign against Carpenter. Carpenter!
will never wear the title of sheriff.
Flynn's brand ot gratitude must be
taken in broken doses.
Mr. Dk.BS waived the customary
rn?os of the game and notified himself
of his nomination.
A few more dents in the neck like
that and Flynn will decide to conduct
bis Oklahoma campaign from Wash-
ington. Let the county records be probed;
the people are anxious to know the
amount of corruption practiced by re-
publican officials.
Ike Lett can put a knife in Capt
Seeley's band and g'vs him forty-two
miles start and then land in the leg-
islature without mussing a hair.
The pen of Gov. Barnes has not lost
its acidity. He caught Flynn between
bases and evened up the score after
the gratiiuders had packed up their
bats and were retiring from the field.
Ir is said that Harper Cunningham
had the representatirenomination won
until Senator Fegan toie loose with a
speech and liberally besprinkled it
with horse metaphors. In other words
it is suspected that Fegan played horse
with Cunningham.
The late Republican county conven-
tion voted that the county records
should be investigated. Through '
ledgerdemain the resolution was kill-
ed. New the respectable Republicans
of the county join with the Democrats
in demanding an investigation.
HuNDREDsof Republicans in Guthrie
who have steadfastly championed the
cause of Flynn will vote against
Flynn this fall. These Republicans
believe that Gov. Barnes is every bit
as good a Republican as Flynn an
Flynn'fi coarse work in humiliating
Barnes needlessly has nettled them
to a degree far exceeding gratitude
and statehood.
Flynn has chad E. H. Furrow ap-
pointed an alloting agent in the
Kiowa country at S10 a day. This job
was promised to a colored man but
Flynn threw the colored voters at the
last moment. Flynn has been throw-
ing the colored voters for six years.
This fall the.negroes will probably do
a little throwing on their own hook.
Flynn gave E. H. Saddler a job in
Washington well-knowing that Sad-
dler would be unable to pass a civil
service examination. Of course the
negroes were deceived and looked on
the appointment as a stroke of grati-
tude. The negroes do not like Sad-
dler but the appointment was consid-
ered a recognition of their services.
No one doubt Capt. Seeley's honesty
but that he is erratic no one will de-
ny. As a representative in the lower
house he would be a positive menace
to Guthrie. When in committee he
would proceed to lose his temper and
flare up at the first man who refused
to agree with him. In a few days all
the legislators would ignore him and
Guthrie would be without repretenta-
tion save in the upper house. Seeley
is simply a bundle of resined nerves
and such a man is dangerous.
Three-fourths of the delegates to
the recent Republican convention voted
for the resolution demanding an in-
vestigation of the county records. The
men having charge of these records
and the men who made the records
are Republicans. Unless there was
something rotten in the county court
house such resolutions never would
have been introduced in a Republican
convention. The convention's man-
agers choked off the resolution?
What do the taxpayers of Logan coun-
ty th'nk of such ac ions? Will they
not join with the Democrats in demand
ing a complete show-down?
Mr. Adelbert Hughes the young
man who made a meteoric splash into
town politics two years ago is now
the Republican candidate for county
attorney. Mr. Hughes is docile and
bosom v. but he is not all-pervading.
With an excellent chance to make a
creditable record as city attorney he
allowed himself to be hauled and
yanked about by members of the coun
cil and fossilized outsiders and as a
result the city is in a legal snarl. Is
it not fair to presume thot he wc ulddo
the 6arae thing were he elected county
attorney? The voters are all "from
Missouri" this year. The presant
county attorney Edgar Jones has
made a good record; be has curtailed
expendituree and otherwise . shown
himself thoroughly trustworthy. As
a token of their appreciation fthe vot-
ers will re-elect Mr. Jones this Lill.
Flyns's campaign committee will
re6ortto the old system of double-
teaming this campaign. Flynn will
carefully note Neff's speaking points
and endeavor to work in ahead of him
especially in the western counties.
Then about ten days before election
day be w. 11 made another quick whirl
about the circle and try to offset Neff's
arguments with bogus rot. But the
voters cannot be fooled this year.
Gov. Barnes says: 'It 1b a curious
plattorm upon which to p ace a great
political party before the people and
ask their suffrage. It mentions Mr.
Flynn's name SEVEN times and fails
to mention the name of the president
or of aDy other Republican even
once." Why should the governor re-
call these unpleasant facts. Has not
the Leader repeatedly stated that
Flynn was the "living issue?" We
only wonder that Flynn'6 name waB
not mentioned seven times seventy
times in his own p'atform.
The Republican candidate for gov-
ernor of New York will be Mr. Odell.
This is settled. Mr. Odell has been
the man nearest to Mr.'Platt in poll
tics for the past few years and he is
not only dear to Mr. Piatt but to the
corporations which Mr. Piatt serves
Mr. Odell would be a corporat'on gov-
ernor. The onlyi hope of the people
for emancipation from the rule of this
moneyed oligarchy in New York state
during the next two years is Mr. Coler
whom Croker that other agent of the
corporations is trying desperately to
beat out of the Democratic nomina-
tion. Let County Records be Shown.
Whereas There was intro-
duced in the late Republican
county convention which met
in Guthrie and nominated a
ticket to ba voted for this fall
by the people of this county
a resolution demanding an in-
vestigation of the records of
this county and pledging the
county commissioners to order
such investigation; and
Whereas Such resolution was
by such convention DENIED
both by the resolutions com-
mittee and by the convention
itself; and
Whereas We believe the
people of this county have the
right "to be shown" the con-
dition of the county records
and that such demand was
just. Now therefore be it
Resolved in the very lan-
guage of the Republican reso-
lution itself "That the county
commissioners nominated by
this convention -by the ac-
ceptance of said nominations
pledge themselves individually
and collectively if elee'ed to
cause a thorough investigation
by competent persons to bs
made of the bookB and records
of Logan county to the end
that the taxpayers may know
what has become of the public
moneys and the manner in
which the records have been
kept and that if any defalca-
tions have occurred and ex-
cessive and fraudulent charges
have been made and allowed
the same may be recovered to
the county from the office-
holder and his bondsmen."
Adopted unanimously August 25th
by the Logan county Democratic cen-
tral committee. T. S. Pulliam.

Hinckley supervisor of surveys for
the Chickasaw towneite commission is
here with a corps of surveyors running-
out the boundary lines of the town..
As soon as the boundary lines are es-
tablished the town will have a plat
made and a special appraising board
will bo oppointed to praise the lots of
the town. The commission will proceed-
as rapidly aa possible to settle town-
site matters for all towns on the Rock
Island road in the Chickasaw nation
since under the present condition the
growth of the towns incident to the
opening of the Comanche country
would be greatly retarded. There is
now a great demand for vacant lots.
for buildingepurposes and with the
uncertainty of title removed there
will be a repetition of the phenom-
enal growth of Oklahome towne in all
the towns on the Comanche boHe.
Since Judge Grigsby county judge
of Canadian county has granted an

mancbe country many miners have
resumed work. They do not want to
be intruders or pooners but are good-law-abiding
citizens who believe the
law protects them in prospecting and
working claims. During the time
they were kept from work by the or-
der of the secretary of the interior
several have had assays made of ores
taken from claims located in the
Wichita mountains which assay from
S20 to S3C0 a ton. One man who re-
sides here has located a paying placer
mine. It is thought that the country
will be opened by March 1 so that
those who locate on the farm lands
can make a crop on them in 1901. Hun-
dreds of prospectors and bomeseekers
are coming and going all the time.
