The election of E. L! Fulton ti
congress from the Second Oklahoni;
district, whil not a surprise is grat-
iiying to a big host of Xehrnikaus
who have known the young man
since early hoy hood and who have
watched his career with interest aud
pride.
Up heie iu Nebraska his old
friends still call him -‘Linnie", and
they are coutideut that he will make
good iu congress. Mr. Fulton
comes of a republicau family and
was raised in Pawnee county, which
is so overwhelmingly republican
that only one democrat has been
e'eeted to county office therein iu
thirty tveurs. Iu 1894 Fulton, then
only a year or two past the voting
age, thought he would get into act-
ive politics But thought best to
ask the advice of an old family
friend, who happened to be a dem-
ocrat
“All right Linnie,” said the
friend, “Every young man ought
to take an interest iu politics But
before you start out, just ask your
self, *why am 1 a republican?’ and
then seek for the answer.”
Fulton took the advice, with the
result that he couldn’t find the au
swer. But be found enough to
convince him that th party he had
affiliated with was not he party of
his mature and thoughtful choice
When 1896, with its campaign of
\fnd<ctivenoss and enthusiasm ar
rived, Fulton enlisted under the
Wanner of bimetallism aud he proved
to l>e a splendid recruit In 1898
he whs nominated by the funionists
for state senator from the district
comprising Pawnee aud Richardson
counties. He h id a majority of
about 800 to overcome, and he
came within less than forty votes of
doiug it. He carried Richardson
by a few votes and reducing the
overwhelming majority iu Pawnee
•county by nearly 95 per cent In
the meantime he had been admitted
to the Imr, and some six or seven
years later packed up his law lirary
and weut to Oklahoma, locating iu
Okrahoma City The same zeal nnd
energy, and the same ability as a
platform speaker. soon made him a
lender in the democratic array, and
when the demon ills of the Second
district looked around for congres-
sional timber they at once selected
him. The selection «as a compli
meet to Fulton, but it was more a
credit to the democrats of the
Se. o id district.— Commoner.
Considerable excitement was ere

I stood on the “smokers” platform,
Because I wanted to ride;
Twos a groundhog proposition.
There was no room inside.
And I thought of the shining sheckles,
I paid for a first class fare;
Bat my pants never kissed the cushions,
And coal cinders decked my hair.
And I thought of a proposition,
For which I don’t mean to charge;
Why don’t they make 'possum bellies; *
, Beneath the coach, roomy and large?
Then a guy with a first class ticket,
Could be shoved in the stowswsy there,
And the “con” could tip him extra,
For a pullman sleeper fare.
Once I wandered away to God's country,
Where ramshackle coaches aiut par;
Where passengers are forbidden,
To ride outside of the car.
While here all the ramshackle coaches,
Of every known make and design,
Aud every worn out locomotive,
May be fouud on the Ranluiudle line.
Then give us the 'possum bellies
80 the weary at las) niuy rest;
And another row of brass buttons,
On the old “con’s'’ cont nu<l vest.
I have rode on a bucking broncho,
Aud a storm tossed vessel at sea;
But I never saw accomodations,
As bum as the Fautu Fe.
