Chicago, June 20.—Speaker Cannon
and his friends felt confident this morn-
ing that they had succeeded in side. ,
tracking any effort to give the Speaker
the Vice Presidestial nomination
James S. Sherman, the New York
representative, called on th • Speaker
and informed him that New York had
abandoned its tight to nominate Can-
non. Senator Depew, who had been
most active among the easterners who
were booming Cannon, smilingly said:
“Cannon has bl* wn us all out of the '
water. I have already quit.”
What Cannon and his friends did
w as to ch rge the New York delega-
tion with being more interested in
making a pluce for Sherman as
| Speaker of the House than in the suc-
! cess of the Republican national ticket.
However, with Cannon out of the way,
I the Mitt booth showed no increased
infla ion. The supposition was that
if Cannon could check the movement
for himself, Hitt would fall heir to his
strength. But the Cannon following
failed to go to Hilt. Fairbanks stock
went up several points and the indica-
tions this morning strongly point to
his nomination.
FAIRBANKS MAY SPEAK UP.
The Indiana delegation held a meet-
ing and discussed sta'e affairs. A
second meeting was called for 3 this af-
ternoon, at which time the Vice Presi-
dency will be discussed. Fairbanks
is expected to make a statement. It
is confidently expected that active
work in Fairbank’s behalf will begin
after the meeting. The Fairbanks
supporters have countered on the
friends of President Roosevelt, who
have objected to the indifference
shown by the Indiana senator, with
the retort that the nomination had to
be forced on Mr. Roosevelt in 1900
Should Senator Fairbanks author-
ize the Indiana delegation this after-
noon to say that he will accept the
nomination it will at once bring to
his support a half dozen delegations
who do not like his present attitude.
Nothing short of a confirmed report
that the president prefers Hitt to Fair-
banks will revive the Hitt boom.
There is a popular impression that
this is true, based largely on a state-
ment of Senator Lodge, who remarked
that if Illinois really wanted the Vice
Presidency and would go to work for
Hitt his nomination was a certainty.
Word from the different counties of
Oklahoma is to the effect that the ter-
ritory will raise a good deal more
wheat than people on the outside are
led to believe. Reports in the early
spring were very discouraging and a
good many people are evidently judg-
ing the wheat crop from these early
reports.
The recent rains and cool weather
have made a wonderful change in the
wheat and even in some of the sec-
tions in the western part of the terri-
tory where the crop w<,s considered a
total failure there will be half a crop.
Wheat in the northwestern counties is
simply magnificent, while to call the
splendid wheat along the North Can-
adian valley northwest of Oklahoma
City a half crop would be simply
ridiculous. Oklahoma is going to
have wheat enough to bread her own
people and feed a large portion of the
outside world.—Perkins Journal.
Liao Yang, June 20.—A general en-
gagement is proceeding near Kia
Chou The first train bearing the
wounded has passed through here go-
ing northward and the terrible roar of
artillery bears evidence that the armies
of the czar and the mikado have at
last joined issue in a desperate battle
for supremacy in the orient. Military
authorities all agree that upon the
result of this conflict of arms rests the
future of oriental supremacy between
Japan and Russia. Should the Jap-
ane e win in this sanguinary battle
the fate of Port Arthur will not longer
be a speculation but its fall will cer-
tainly be only a matter of days. Cav-
alty, artillery and infantry arj being
pressed to the front and the gallant
troops pass on to the front with deter-
mination depleted on every counte-
nance.
New Chwang, June 20.—A Russian
officer, who was wounded in the battle
at Vafango (Telissu) told an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent today that
losses on both sides were severe. He
places the Russian casualties at least
*at 7,000. He says that no soldiers in
the world could withstand the Jap-
anese as they have been fighting
lately.
Their artillery fire he claims is mar.
velously effective The Russians
fought stubbornly, desperat' ly but
were unable to withstand the enemy’s
advertised for last night. In order
not to disappoint the many Chandler
people who looked forward to his
coming he has decided to remain over
for a lecture for this evening. The
speaking will be in the open air near
the postoffice corner,and will begin at
8 o’clock sharp.
Mr. O’Hare is now on his homeward
way after a three months campaign in
the twin territories. Speaking of his
trip he says:
“I like the people of the territories;
they are cordial and open-minded. At
all points I found th'm ready to give
me an impartial hearing, despite the
long period of abuse, inisinf -itnatiou
and vituperation to which the party
to which I belong has b en subjected.
In one or two instances irresponsible
individuals, influenced probably by
those who have motives for keeping
the people from hearing the truth
about socialism, huve endeavored to
meetings but have met

interrupt my
with a decided rebuke from the citizen-
ship. On the whole the indications
are that the masses are getting their
eyes open and are prepared to revolt
from the misrule of organized selfish-
ness. This revolt is being hastened
by the hard times which exist in the
locality. I am surprised at the poverty
of the producing classes here. Their
condition seems to be far inferior to
the eastern workers in spite of the
great natural wealth of the locality
and the immense shipments of pro-
ducts.”
After leaving Chandler Mr. O’Hare
will complete his tour of the twin ter-
ritories as follows:

Independence Day to be Observ
ed with Ceremonies Befitting
the Occasion.
The Fourth of July in Chandler this
year will certainly be a hummer.
Those in charge of arrangements, etc.,
are working hard that the event may
pass off without a flaw. The use of
the court house square has been do-
nated and large tents will be erected
thereon for the use of the crowd. The
city will turn over the right of conces-
sions which insures plenty of money
to guarantee a fine celebration. The
parade is to be one of the features of
the day. Following is the line of
march:
Form at court house square at 9:45
a. m. in following order:
Militia, Co. B. O. N. G
Band.

tories on Horseback.

IS “SPUD KING.”
Oklahoma City, June 20.—Stephen
Heal has figured out that he is the
“spud king” of Pottawatomie county,
the countv of Oklahoma where are
raised the finest potatoes in the entire
southwest. Mr. Heal had out this year
sevem,y-two acres of potatoes from
which he gathered 10,000 bushels of
the earthy apples or 137 1-2 bushels to
the acre. He sold his crop for 70 cents
per bushel, thereby adding $7,000 to
his bank account, or if he had none
this will be a good starter. Mr. Heal’s
experience in this one crop is signifi-
cant in that it shows what can be ac-
complished by a tew months work and
a very small expen-e. Such a erop
dug out of the ground is more valua-
ble than mineral—i’ don’t need to b3

LET IT BE DUNN.
Startling Evidence.
Fresh testimony in great quantity is
constantly coming in declaring Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consump-
tion Coughs and Colds to be unequal-
ed. A recent expression from T. J.
McFarland, Bentorville, Va., serves
as example. He writes: “I had bron-
chitis for three years and doctored all
the time without being benefited. Then
I began taking Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery, and a few bottles wholly cured
me.” ' Equally effective in curing all
lung and throat troubles, consump-
tion, pneumonia and grip. Guaran-
teed by A. D. YVright, druggist. Trial
bottles free, regular sizes 50c and $1.
Alva, June 20.—There is no ques-
tion but what the name of Jesse J.
Dunn of this place will be presented
to the democratic convention at Okla-
homa City as a candidate for delegate
to congress. Mr. Dunn’s friends
among the populists claim that under
the fusion deal it is their turn to name
the candidate for delegate amt they
insist that he shall be Dun . Mr,
Dunn said this morning that person-
ally he was pledged to Edgar Jones of
Guthrie and would do all in his power
for him, but that if Mr. ioDes could
not land and should the nomination
be tendered him he would not refuse
John H. Cotterall of Oklahoma wants
the convention to adopt a statehood
resolution. Congressman Murdock is
helping him and he hopes to line up
the Kansas delegation for the pro-
posed resolution. New Mexico has a
delegation here pulling for statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona
