CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE
John J. Davis of Chandler was
here Tuesday looking after his
political interests. Mr. Davis is
asking the democrats of the first
congressional district to give him
a chance to beat Bird McGuire or
John Hickam as the case may be.
He is solidly backed by the dem-
ocrats of his own county and be-
lieves he has a splendid show for
the nomination. The first dis-
trict is tired of misrepresenta-
tion and has a chance to elect a
democrat this year regardless of
who the republicans put up.
BRYAN TO BE AT WINFIELD
TAXI AND JUDGE FOR INDIAN WED-
DING NOW
William Jennings Bryan will
be at the Winfield Chautauqua
next Monday to tell all about the
Baltimore convention and the
fight to wrest the democratic
party from the control of preda-
tory wealth and what is termed
“Big Business” interests. In
this contest Mr. Bryan made the
most brilliant fight of his life
anji winning out as he did places
him at the head of political gen-
erals.
1:30 o’clock.
Mr. Trunbly was one of the
older Osage citizens. Until a
few months since he resided in
this city but moved to his farm
to better care for his business.
Mr. Trumbly was one of the
useful men of the tribe and stood
high in the councils of his peo-
ple who had repeatedly re-elect-
ed him to positions of honor.
His older brother Julian was
buried only a few weeks ago. It
is said J. B. was taken sick at the
funeral and had gradually grown
worse until the end came. Mr.
Trumbly leaves a wife and sev-
eral children.

MOVE UF PROGRESSIVES
The last move of the self-styled
Roosevelt Progressives is the ef*
fort to get President Taft to
pull off the republican ticket.
Roosevelt regardless of his loud
clamor for progressive principles
is willing to accept the nomina-
tion on the Chicago platform
which denounces all the ideas of
the progressives which he claims
to hold so dear.
The evolutions of Roosevelt’s
mind would be interesting in u
moving picture show.
Years ago, the Osages of Okla-
homa chose their life partners in
the filmy maze of the green corn
dance, to the hollow beat of the
tom-tom and the raucous chant
of the medicine man, all under
the yellow Summer moon.
Today the descendants of those
same Osages with a chaperon,
board a train for Wichita, take a
taxi at the station, ride to the
home of the probate judge, call
him out at midnight and get
hitched in the fashion of truly
modern elopers.
Thus H E Moncravie and Mamie
•Bellmard of Arkansas City, were
made one at the hands of Judge
McCandless, Saturday night, at
12:30 o’clock. Both are Osages,
and own large tracts of land in
Osage county in Oklahoma. They
were accompanied to Wichita by
Mrs. E. M. Bruce, who witness-
ed the ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Moncravie will
leave tonight for Oklahoma City,

SOME WILSON APOTHEGMS
q
A progressive Republican
is only a Republican in a
way to become a Democrat.
An orthodox Republican
is a man who really believes
that the government of the
country ought to be a sort
of trusteeship; that those
who have the biggest ma-
terial stake in its industrial
affairs should be the trustees
and that all policy should be
made to conform to their
judgment and interest, in
the expectation that, as
trustees, they will hand on
to those whom their enter-
prise controls a fair and
reasonable share of the pros-
paiity of business.
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT DE-
FINED
Now, a progressive Demo-
crat is a man who sees,
what ought to be patent to
everybody, that these self
constituted trustees have
been both blind and selfish;
that a dangerous and in-
equitable system of business
has been built up and that
changes must be effected
which will square the com-
mercial and industrial meth-
ods of the country with the
general interest, the interest
of the people at large, as
understood by the people
themselves and not by spe-
cial coteries.
What policies characterize
progressive Democracy? All
those policies whose object
is to wrest government
from the control of special
groups of men and restore
it to the control of the gen-
eral opinion of the country.
All the policies that re-es-
tablish the connection be-
tween representatives and
the poeple. All well con-
sidered measures that will
tend to re-establish general
opportunity and freedom of
enterprise.

qua where all the needs may be
satisfied at once. It is useless
to again go over the list of at-
tractions. Every person in the
county has read it and the one
statement that each more than
met the expectations is sufficient.
The program contained no weak
numbers. Every person in at-
tendance was well pleased and
wiil be early buyers of season
tickets next year.
The attendance from other
towns in the county as well as
people from the country was
much larger-this year than last
and it is presumable that it will
be still larger next year as the
Chautauqua becomes better
known.
Those attending this year from
| outside include Hon. Prentiss
j Price and wife, John Freeman,
; Wiley Haines and daughter of
| Hominy, Banker Williams and
daughter of Wynona, I. T. Gib-
json, Mr. and Mrs. Moore Wil-
' liams, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Phenis,
! Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cornett, Miss
Cornett, T. E. Gibson, Hugh
Little, Roscoe Field of Bigheart,
Dr. and Mrs. W H. Todd, Dr.
i and Mrs. Bagby and J. J. Quar-
I les of Fairfax, Hon. T. M. Fin-
i ney and wife of Grayhorse, W.
! M. Burk of Fairfax and many
| others whose names were not
I learned. Much larger delega-
I tions will come from those towns
i next year.
The appreciation Pawhuska
j holds for the Chautauqua is at-
! tested by the attendance every
j afternoon and evening and by
the prompt response when the |

MAKES OVERLAND TRIP TO MOUNTAINS
E. B. Payne of the St. Louis
store left with his wife and boy |
on an automobile trip to the
mountains last week. They ex-
pect to be gone a couple of
montf s or perhaps longer if the
trip proves beneficial to Mrs.
Payne’s health.
BANDITS HOLD UP KATY TRAIN
Bandits held up the south
bound M. K. & T. passenger
between Coffeyville and Bartles-
ville yesterd&y morning between
twelve and one o’clock. A spec-
ial shipment of silver amounting
to several thousands of dollars is
supposed to have been the object
of the holdup.
After several unsuccessful at-
tempts to blow the safe in the
express car the robbers rode
away in the darkness.
