FRIDAY JULY C. 1907.
Guthrie celebrated gloriously.
The Fourth has passed
count noses now.
Time to
Guthrie was pleased with Its visit-
ors and the visitors say they were
pleased witch the city.
The nauseating fling made at Presi-
dent Murray and the convention by
Greer. Hamon and the otihers of the
committee belongs to the realm of'
such small politics that it excites only
contempt
In the absenco of any facts to sup-
port their charges of "outrageous"
gerrymander Hamon nnd Greer shout
'deceit' 'at President Murray's call
for the facts. They completely col-
lapsed at the mention of tho word
"facts."
That garbled mess of figures pro-
duced from the hot air passages of the
State Capital could never stand the
IIht of day. Therefore its editor
Joins with tho chairman of tho Repub-
lican committee la a disgusting tirade
when they are called to a show down.
The greatest outrage ever perpe-
trated would be consumated by the
administration shduld any troublo be
made for Mr Bryco on account of his
complimentary words for Oklahoma
and her future prosppecta. The out-
come of tho matter will be anxiously
observed Mr. Bryce Is rnoro than a
match for the whole anti-statehood
conspiracy.
OKLAHOMA LEADS IN
CONDITION OF COTTON.
Tho report of .the condition of tho
cotton crop Issued by the bureau of
statistics puts Oklahoma in tho lead
on that point in the Southwest.
Tho following tablo Hhows the con-
dition Jtmo 25 of -this year and of the
preceedlug year with tho respective
ten year average also tho average con-
dition on May 25. 1907:
States June 25 May 25. June 25. 10-yr.
1907 1907 1906 Av.
Texas ... 72 70 82 83
Ark. C7 C5 8C 84
Okla. 74 SO 90 85
1. T 73 78 84 87
It will be noted that Oklahoma
stands 74 which Is tihe highest In the
group. Wherever Oklahoma comes
at ajl alio comes out on top and cs-
peclnly on cotton points. That lend
is maintained whether It be In quan-
tity quality or condition.
The remarkablo thing about Okla-
Bioma territory Is the way It has been
forging ahead on cotton production in
the last five years having more than
doubled tho crop In that time.
NO FACTS; THEREFORE MAD.
President Murray has made a
gentlemanly and reasonable request
that the antl-constltutlon anti-state-ihood
crowd'verlfy by tacts and figures
tliel charges of an "outrageous"
gerrymander and appointed a commit-
tee to meet July 5th to recelvo any
Information they may have to give.
Briefly he has called tho gerryman-
der bluff.
Jake Hamon and Frank Greer are
wad. They never looked for such a
thing. They thought their barefaced
brazen statements would go. Their
manufactured campaign figures con-
cocted with a view to deceiving somo
of their devoted followers were never
meant for careful Inspection. There
fore aro they mad. Mad to tho core
tj be called on for the proof which
they Jiave not.
They answer back with tho same
eort of spleen that characterizes tho
speech of a burgllar when tho man of
tho house demands an explanation of
his presenco there.
This was ttii natural and to be ex-
pected. It comports perfectly with
the attitude of the Repupbllcan ma-
thine and Us mouthpieces tihe Repub-
lican press bureau and Its chief organ.
Wie Stall-fed State Capital. It is In
perfect harmony with tho campaign
of vindication and abuse that was
opened with the opening of toe Repub-
lican press bureaw. Immediately upon
the opening of tho convention and
which has continued to belch Its vilo
utterances upon the public regardless
equally of facts or consequences.
Mad? "Why of course but it will
tako something more than madnoss
to meet the sltuattou which now con
fronts them. It is show up and sus-
tain the facts or shut up. But is Jp
Jlkely they will do neither. There Is
this however about which they can-
not escape: Their deluded followers
will have a chance to u-ake up and
disown the whole miserable okitflt bo-
foro thoy completely wreck their
party
Thoso mad gentlemen responsible
for the reckless eneavor to Bldotrack
tho constitution and defeat statehood
will find something doing when they
nro called oh tho carpet boforo thoir
own party. Republicans are not all
fools uolthor can they always bo
fooled.
How tho Republican pnrty will es-
cape tho Just condemnation of tho
people for permitting for seven
months auch a campaign of senile
abuse instead of facts figures and
logic 1a not apparent. In fact. It can
not bo done. These clubs tihrown at
th constitution thavo proven boomer-
angs. If there are any others who have
any Information of Inequalities In tlio
apportionment thoir gonteel presen-
tation of them will have consideration
wfliolly regardless of the attitude or
expression of any mad men or ruffians.
CENSUS TOO LATE FOR
USE OF CONVENTION.
There Is no objection to tho census
as such. It will make a line showing
for tihe territory. If thoroughly nnd
completely taken It will show that
Oklahoma Is entitled to three addi-
tional congressmen. It will give Ok-
lahoma a standing far In advance of
what could have otherwise been ob-
tained. If however as claimed by the antl-
constltiutlon anti-statuhood bunch of
Republican politicians It Is a mere
mess of campaign medicine mixing
It at once becomes a disgraceful Fed-
eral Interference with local affairs.
Played up in that light it would
amount to almost proof positive of
the connection of the administration
with the conspiracy to defeat state-
hood. But the local gang and the
congressional combine havo to face
the President's positive statement
made to the Democratic committee
that he had made no statements nor
authorized any and that ho had taken
no position in the matter.
It must be apparent to anyone tihat
it would be grossly amjust to Judge
the work of tho convention done
without the aid of any official census
or the means of obtaining one. In tho
light of such a census made between
tho passage of an election ordinance
and the certificate of election to tihe
President. The President will no
doubt take notice of his square deal
policy long enough to recognize that
facL However there Is nothing at
present to Indicate that tw conven-
tion did not duly consider the situa-
tion In tihe light of all the evidence
beforo It at that time.
The only thing tho convention can
do is to proceed regardless of the
census and secure statehood for Okla-
homa by the shortest possible route.
Tho President will never turn down
Wio constitution indorsed by a rousing
majority of tho people of the new
eta to. Mark that!
THE REPUBLICAN DILEMMA.
The Republican hosts nro milling.
Tho bosseu havo about run tho length
of their rope. Blind as to conse.
quences they began a vicious fight on
the constitution long beforo It ihad
been framed That blind fight has
now wrought both confusion and con-
tention In tho Republican ranks. Er-
roneous positions always do that.
Groundless kicks don't pay.
The difficulties In tho Republican
position nro not merely personal
tihough theso aro grievous neither aro
they the exclusive product of delay
and do-nothlnglsm but nrlso out of
tho very logic of tho situation. They
nro tho legitimate fruits of a seven
month's campaign on tho wrong trail.
No parly can live on mero opposition
and obstruction. It is the back trail
nud support of tho constitution and
statehood or ruin for the party for
many years to como that confronts
them n w. Which shall It oi? Ayo
thero u tho real question.
If tho party turns to support the
constitution thero is the open con-
fession of seven months of unjusti-
fiable abuse of an Instrument which
they would then ask tho peoplo to
supporL
If tho campaign of abuse opposi-
tion to the constitution and statohopd
and general obstruction Is continued
tfiero Is only certain defeat ahead.
This defeat would result from active
causes. Thero aro largo numbers of
Republicans who 'simply will not
stand for any further obstructive tac-
tics and an overwhelming numbor of
tho peoplo demand lmmcdluto state-
hood nnd settlement of further In-
ternal and partisan disputes after-
wards. Tho preceding paragraph does not
tako into consideration tho Democratic
contention that Oklahoma Is simply
Democratic and In that column to
stay.
The question of "ticket or no
ticket" Is secondary to the great Issue
prescribed by the onabllng act which
Is "for or against" the constitution.
There is no dodging that. The Repub-
licans may beat about the bush and
kick because the Democrats wroto
tho constitution but then after all the
kicking there ts tho bare bold Issue.
Because tho question of ticket or
no ticket is secondary. It must not be
Inferred that It is not a real source
of troublo among Republicans. It Is
as full of thorns as a horned toad and
sticks every time it is touched.
It tho machine does not put out a
ticket then a ticket will como any-
how and the machine dies.
It it does not put out a ticket then
thore are nearly 1200 candidates who
are not at all likely to spend tiiolr
money and time asking the people
to vote for thom and kill the consti
tution that creates tho office. What-
ever else he may be. the average Re-
publican offlceseeker Is not a fool.
So there you are. Tho only way
out eeeuiB to be to back track on jiie
campaign of abuse and obstruction
come out for tho constitution nnd
statehood and put a ticket in the field
and fight it out and tako defeat like
bravo soldiers. It It comes.
Tho trouble about this last sug-
gestion Is that that is the position
the Democrats havo long takon. It
has constantly been their position
rand It would nover occur to a Repub
lican politician to do anything that
a Democrat had done or oven indorse
'any -action' taken by a Democratic
body.
Therefore aro they milling. They
march up tiao hill to tho trio of tho
Tulsa. Wbrid Muskogeo Phoenix and
Oklahoma Post and straightway

cases of rheumatism much pain may

Mr. F. A. McCluro a travelling

had muscuiar; rheumatism for ten
yes.rs. often so severely that I could
notitnvo my bed. None of the sever-

"My wife said she hnd heard that
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wore grod for
rheumatism nnd It was upon her nd
vice that I tried thorn. After taking
them for three or four days tho pain
began to leave me and In a short time
I was on my feet ngnln feeling as

Dr. WilllamB' Pink Pills have also
cured such blood dlsoases as anaemia
