A CONSPIRACY.
It has never been the policy of
the Tribune toimpunge any man
for voting any ticket he pleased,
but common decency dictates
that when a man aspires to the
leadership of a party, or to a
high position as an officer of the
party that his record asanadhere
ant to the party be clear and
above suspicion. In other words
a private citizen may do as le
pleases but a partisan must be
true to bis party.
We say the above to justify the
attack we now propose to make
on one who was a private citizen
but now aspires to political lead-
ership.
The facts are these: The rules
of the D.'nwr.Uc Central Com-
mittee pr ivi Io l for monthly
meeting® t • b * h *Ul *m the last
Saturday of ea h month. At the
Novemb r meeting ou account of
the December m 'cling coming
during holidays, it was unani-
mously agreed ti p >stp >ne the
Decemberni *.*:ing untid Jan *th.
On that day t! e committee met
and although i‘ was a bad day
twenty three members, more
than an average attendance, were
present.
About the only business of im-
portance to come before the com-
mittee was the r< signalion of Col
Roy Hoffman and the appoint-
ment of his sue.' ss r.
Two comni iteeuien objected to
taking up tlm business alleging
that commute onon wl o had not
attended tin !. »t me, *ing knew
vole disclosed that tne sentiment
was overwhelmingly in favor of
transacting the business and a
unanimous vote was given J. B.
A. Robertson for the place.
It had been said that G. A.
Neeley was a candidate for the
place but his name was not pre-
sented to the committee.
It now develops that Mr.
Neeley was and is a candidate
and he is-now m - n a petition
to be circulated m that he be
appointed.
Personally we are and always
have been friendly with Neeley
but personal friendship should
not keep a democrat editor from
sounding an alarm when party
safety is endangered and we con-
sider that the appointment of the
rankest republican in the county
would be no more dangerous to
democratic success than would
the oppointment of the same G.
A. Neeley.
During the last campaign
when party supremacy was
wavering in the balance; when
Democratic principles with a'l
they imply to the true Demo
crat was calling upon every royal
supporter; when the political
fate of the future state of Okla-
homa might depend upon one
constitutional district or one
voter, when men of both parties
were giving freely of their best
thought and best efforts, Mr.
Neeley who as a Democrot and
who particularly as a would be
Democratic leader, should have
been giving to Democracy his
time and talents was a traitor to
his party and openly espoused
the cause of the Republican can-
didate; his entire effort was
directed to the defeat of J. B. A.
Robertson and the fact that the
Democrats instead of the Repub-
licans are writing the constituti-
on is in no way chargable to him.
How well Mr.[Neeley succeeded \ to $500.00.
is a matter of history; His efforts j 14. Other
and the efforts of some other so
called Democrats are alone re-
sponsible for the election of a
Republican from this district.
We refrain from mentioning the
namesof theothers socalled Dem-
ocrats because as private citizens
we do not question their rights
to vote the Republican ticket but
should they attempt to dictate
Democratic policies we will he
just as free to mention them and
we lay it down as a sound doc-
trine that a man who aspires to
party leadership should have at
least voted the ticket.
Party safety impells us to say
that the action of Mr. Neeley
warrants us in saying that his
appointment is a part of a con-
spiracy to wreck the Democratic
p rty; that his treachery entitles
im to the contempt rather than
the reward of the Democratic
party.

Convention. Gentlemen: We re-
spectfully submit the following
draft of provision on highways to
be inoororated in the constitution
of the State of Oklahoma:
The legislature is empowered and
directed to established a depart-
ment of highways; and shall have
power to create improvement
districts and provide for building
and maintaining public roads,
and shall provide for the
utilization of convict and punitive
labor thereon. in making the
above suggestion we have en-
deavored to avoid legislation.
While it is merely tentative in
the hope that it may be of value
to your committee we have
avoided all legislative features,
and believe that the provision
submitted is ample and sufficient
tly full to authorize any action
the legislature many see tit to
take, and if intelligently acted
upon by tile legislature, will in-
sure to the state a complete
system of good roads. We make
no mention of the maximum and
minimum rate, for the reason
that it is a purely legislative
function.

What (In' Commissioners Done,
The board of county commission-
ers, which were in session the great-
er part of last week, outside of al-
lowing a large number of claims
transacted the following business:
S. D. Dennis was elected as chair-
man and the Chandler News made
the official paper for the ensuing
year (though the News had not
filed an application and the Chand-
ler Publicist shortly afterward filed
a bid—the only one on record—of-
fering to do the work for the county
at greatly reduced rates, better
printed and better material.)
Dr. Davis was reappointed as
member of the county board of
health.
Dr. A, J. Wolcott and Atty. S. I).
Decker were reappointed as mem-
bers of the board of insanity.
J. M. Evans was appointed over-
seer of the county farm for the next
two years.
The report of Sheriff L. E. Martin
was approved.
The resignation of W. S. Shaffer
as overseer of the county poor farm
was accepted.
The report of W. L. Sexton, treas-
urer of South Fox township was ap-
proved.
The petition of the Lincoln county
bar association for more room in
the probate court was rejected.
L. G. Hobart was appointed as
justice of the peace for Union town-
ship.
The resignation of L. G. Harper as
treasurer of Kickapoo township was
acccepted.
The report of P. J. Rohlihger,
treasurer of Chandler township was
approved.
Commissioners adjourned to Mon-
day, January 21,'1907, at which time
matters of importance to the tax-
payers of the county will come on
for hearing. As the meetings of
the board are public and many mat-
ters of vital interest to our people
are alwaos being discussed, those
who can should make it a point to
attend the meetings—one might
learn something new or might make
a valuable suggestion to the board.
A Good Showing.
The stock holders of the Stroud
Canning association held their an-
nual meeting at the City Hall last
Monday and electeii the following
directors to serve the ensuing year:
J. W. Rosengrant, G. A. Rich, Jont
Smith, J. A. Weeks and O. T. Hub-
bell. The board of directors or-
ganized by electing J. W. Rosen-
grant president, G. A. Rich vice-
president, Jont Smith treasurer and
O. T. Hubbell secretary.
The following is a partial report
read at the meeting.
Cash paid out for fruit
and vegetables $ 1,756.81

Merchandise ...................... 5,373.42
Total 9,630.73

Total 9,628.14
119,495 cans of fruit were put up,
counting 500 cases to the car, there
were 10 car loads of goods shipped
from Stroud. This speaks pretty
loud for an infant industry which
practically began business April 21,
1900, without a dollar in the treas-
ury, 4157 indebtedness in lieu there-
of; no financial standing; a few
chronic kickers. But a host of good
business men believe and have faith
in Stroud and Lincoln county and
they are always ready to help mor-
ally and financially, any enterprise
that develops the country and in-
creases tne wealth and happiness
of her people. Give all honor to
such men.—Stroud Star.
