Section !) of our present primary election laws provides that
any political party in order to maintain its indentity must cast
at least 5 per cent of the entire vote of the state at the first el-
ection held after the said law was passed; and that at the next
election it must cast 10 per cent of the entire vote of the state.
The coming election is the first election held since the primary
law was passed, hence the Progressive Party, or any other party
that maintains its identity must cast 5 per cent of the entire
| vote of the state, which would mean that they must cast from
12,000 to 15,000 votes; and at the next election they must cast
! at least 10 per cent of the entire vote of the state, which would
probably mean from 25,000 to 30,000 votes. This vote this year
j will be measured on the vote cast for governor, and in two years
from now will be measured on the vote cast for president. Should
John P. Hickam, Progressive candidate for governor, fail to re-
ceive less than from 12,000 to 15,000 votes the Progressive party,
as an organization in Oklahoma, will pass out of existence. For
this reason, if for no other, the Progressive party will put up a
tremendous fight during the coming campaign and Ex-President
| Roosevelt, and other national speakers of the Bull Moose party,
i will be brought to Oklahoma to help prosecute the campaign.
The Progressive leaders think it possible not only to far ex-
ceed the necessary figures to maintain their identity, but believe
1 that it is possible that John Hickam may get a larger vote than
John Fields, the Republican candidate.

Oklahoma. Under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
In considering the present great war now raging in Europe
if a few things are remembered much ill feeling can be saved to
lour people. First, it must be remembered that this is a neutral
' nation and that we are friendly to each and every one of the
warring nations and nothing should ever be done by any citizen
j which could be calculated in any way to compromise us as a neu-
I tral nation. Second, it should be remembered that our citizenship
j is a cosmopolitan one and is largely made up of people from each
of the warring nations. It is reasonable to expect that the German
; portion of our people are interested in the victories of their father-
i land, and that the English people will rejoice over English vie-
! tories. But if these people, as well as American born people,
| will remember that we are all Americans, and will refrain from
saying anything that would hurt the feelings of their neighbors
I who are descendents from other nations, it will go a long way
| toward preventing embroiling the people of this country. Not
| only should our own American born citizens ever remember to
| bridle their tongues, but those of our citizens who are natural-
ized should respect the feeling and interest of other naturalized
citizens.

There was a time when the Republicans called the populists
‘‘calamity howlers.” The populist party never in its existance put
up the senseless howl that Republicans are now indulging in. John
Fields is just like a dog with a brass band, his discordant notes
are amusing but useless.

A statistician has figured that to raise a boy in the simplest
way from babyhood to 17 years of age costs $4,000. If that is
true, let the statistician figure out the problem of how a man
who earns $1.50 a day rears four boys and three girls, without
begging, borrowing or stealing. And it has been done, is being
done, and will be done.—Bennington Tribune.

The recent resale for taxes on real estate convinces us that
the law is a mistake. So long as the taxes are unpaid they remain
as a lien against the property and the property cannot be trans-
ferred till the taxes are paid. Under the resale system, the taxes
are wiped off by oftimes a pittance of the real amount. We be-
lieve the law should be abolished.

In view of the fact that several thousand Americans are
stranded in Europe, who would give many times the usual price of
a passage home, will revive interest in American resorts. Thous-
ands of people hike to Europe to see ruins of architecture and
humanity and neglect the great natural scenes of America. Clash-
ing arm, flowing blood, starving millions, will make Europe un-
popular for some time and give these rich nabobs a chance to
spend a part of their wealth at home.

One of the encouraging things for Oklahoma is the fact
that we are just entering an era of high prices for farm products,
and the farmers of Oklahoma are going to reap a harvest such as
has never fallen to their opportunity before. It is true that
prices have been good for some time but they are destined to be
even better. This is particularly true of meat products. It is
doubtful if we will ever see the time when meat will be cheaper
than it is at the present time, and it must be admitted that there
is good money in raising hogs and cattle at present prices. The
great cattle ranges of America have about disappeared and the
meat of the future must be raised on the small farm instead of
great prairies. The present war in Europe is destroying the ag-
ricultural, as well as the commercial interests of that country,
and as soon as the war is ended, and as often before that time as
possible, American granaries and American smokehouses will be
heavily drawn upon for supplies. Just at the present time the
war is hurting the price of cotton but it is temporary. Europe
is living in tents at the present time and tents soon become
weather beaten and must be replaced. There is as much clothing
being worn out as ever before and the demand for both raw and
manufactured material will be as great as ever. Not only will
we furnish more raw material but during the present war Am-
erican manufacturies are liable to be builded faster than ever
before and American shops will be called upon to carry these pro-
ducts. Thus, not only will our agriculture but our commerce
flourish. An opportunity is being presented to each and every
farmer to make money and the efforts of every farmer should
be redoubled during the coming year.

Any Man Can Buy A Farm
I have a widow client who owns 400 acres of wild
land in Northwest Wisconsin which is bringing her

terms to suit the purchaser. Will divide tract if
desired. Purchaser can rent partly improved farm

REPUBLICAN IDEA OF ELECTION PURITY.
I 3 — -<• —
There is a difference between the Republican and Democrat
method of keeping house. When things get dirty the Democrats
“clean house” and all the world knows there has been a Democratic
scrap. But the point is, after it is over the house is clean. The
Republican quietly “whitewash” but never “clean” for fear that
cleansing process will hurt the party.

A pitiful spectacle has been presented during the past two
or three weeks in Lincoln County. Members of the Republican
Committee and candidates on the county ticket have literally
crawled on their knees to the candidates of the Progressive party
begging them to come off the ticket. It does not appear to have
become impressed upon the minds of Republicans that the Pro-
gressives are thoroughly in earnest and that they* have just as
much chance begging the Democratic candidates to come off the
ticket as they have the Progressives. The poor old Republican
party is indeed in hard straits. Its members have deserted to the
Democratic party, to the Progressive, and to the Socialist party
and only a remnant of that once powerful party in Oklahoma now
remains intact. If the Progressives are as aggressive as the Re-
publicans in the coming campaign and voters vote their senti-
ments, the chances are their candidates will poll as large a vote
Its the Republicans,
Oklahoma is still infested by a remnant of the old Republican
carpetbag machine which so ruthlessly exploited this territory
before statehood. It is almost amusing to see the efforts being
made by this old machine to get back into power and they are now
using the candidacy of one John Fields as an entering wedge.
This old gang has developed a wonderful sentiment for purity
of the ballot and are now busily engaged in circulating all sorts
of untruthful reports regarding the late primary election. Every
candidate who failed to be nominated on the Democratic ticket,
according to this gang, was counted out. They do not stop to ex-
plain how it would be possible to count seven or eight men in
when there were that many candidates running,, but arbitrarily
assumed that the one fellow who was elected was the crook who
is now a Democratic candidate by virtue of a corrupt election
board. Our present primary system is hedged with the most safe-
guards ever thrown about a primary election.
Every step of the procedure from the time the counters finish
counting the ballots to the time they are compiled by the State
Election Board is open to inspection. A copy must be posted out-
side each precinct and a copy sent to the county clerk, and a copy
retained by each member of the board. It is absolutely impossible
for the state board or county board to count anybody out or any-
body in.
The only fraud committed during the primary election just
ended was that instigated by the old Republican gang who sought
to weaken the Democratic party by having Republicans and
Socialists take part in the Democratic primary for the purpose
of voting for a candidate whom they considered, if nominated,
would weaken the Democratic ticket. It is hardly the part of
consistency for this old gang to be holding up their hands in
horror of election frauds when the only fraud was that instigated
by themselves.
This gang has a long record behind them and people well
remember the time when our election laws were not hedged by as
many safeguards, and when the Republican State Election Board
arbitrarily counted Bill Cross out for congress and Bird McGuire
in. They well remember the time when Bill Cross received 5000
more votes than Bird McGuire. Bill Cross was the nominee of
the Democratic party and the Free Silver party and his name
was on the ballot twice. Many voters in casting their ballots voted
for Bill Cross on the Democratic ticket and also on the Free Silver
ticket. Word was passed down the Republican line to declare all
of these ballots mutiliated when in fact, the voter had shown his
