The Republicans of Mayes county
failed to vote in the primary elec-
tion as they should have done, but
they will get out in No .ember.
Henry Ford certainly doesn’t be-
lieve in war. While every thiny
esle is going higher on the accoum
of the war, Ford cars continue to go
down in price.
We have about come to think it
would be wise to move the weather
bureau from Washington to Medi-
cine Hat where all of those blizzard
come from.
Yes, Bro. Grunt, Oklahoma will
remain a while man’s state and an
honest man’s state. You can’t vote
the boys from the sticks, even to
disfranchise the "niger.”
Party prejudice is fast disappear-
ing in county affairs in Mayes coun-
ty. A man will be compelled to run
on bis efficiency this fall rather than
the stripes of his political coat.
'Colonel Roosevelt has put his
stamp of approval on the speech of
acceptance of Chas. E. Hughes, and
is going up to Maine to carry the
state for the Republicans in next
month's election.
The Democratic bovs who were
defeated in the primary are through
with their political troubles. The
boys who won will have to make
another campaign aod in severe
cases go down to defeat in Novem
ber. The political road is a hard
one,
That a man must keep up his po-
litical fences if he intends to run
against a strong business man, was
proved by the defeat of L. C. Harri-
son by North Lindsey in this com
missionerB district Tuesday. Mr.
Harrison was a fast runner for sev-
eral years after statehood.
Mayes county gave Bert Chandler
of Vinita, a handsome majority in
his race for congress and of course
the voters are pleased that he won
in the district by a majority of 1340.
Mr. Chandler has again proven his
ability to do things by capturmg this
nomination over strong opposition
and he will put Donothing Jim on
the shelf in November.
The speech of acceptance of Chas.
E. Hughes proves that the party
made no mistake in giving him the
nomination. The speech is a mas-
terpiece and goes to show that the
Republican nominee not only knows
what is needed to right the affairs
of our national government, but that
he has the determination to carry
out the principles of the Grand
Old Party.
A short time ago, Bro, J. Grunt
remarked that he was not acquaint-
ed with North Lindsey of Choteau.
But we will bet a cancelled postage
stamp that Grunt will not be long in
making the acquaintance of the
geotleman who captnred the Demo-
cratic nomination for county com-
missioner io the Second district.
Who wants the bet?
This paper wishes to congratulate

expect to exist if it upholds such
damnable methods as that resortet

Hughes Scores Administra-
tion in Acceptance
POINTS IN HUGHES SPEECH
All American rights on land and
sea must be unflinchingly maintain-
ed.
National defense must be adequate
for thorough protection on both
coasts.
Use of American soil for hatching
of plots and intrigues for benefits o
any alien nation must ever be con-
demned.
Diplomatic appointments und
intercourse must be such as to com
mand respect of foreign nations.
This bars filling of places with part-
isans, regardless of fitness.
Administration's dealings with
Mexico are characterized as long
series of blunders and vacillations
without any tangible results for
United States or benefit to Mexico.
NEW YORK, July 31.- Charles
E. Hughes tonight outlined in his
speech of acceptance the issue upon
which be will conduct his campaign
for the presidency.
Mr. Hughes assailed the adminis-
tration for the course it has pursued
with reference toiMexico, mainten-
ance of American rights during the
European wsr, preparedness and
other great question of tbe day.
He declared for a new policy of
“firmness and consistency" toward
Mexico for“the unflinching mainten-
ance of all American rights on land
and sea." and for “adequate nation-
al defense, adequate protection on
both our eastern and western coasts.
“We denounce all plots and con-
spiracies in the interest of any for-
eign nation," Mr. Hughes said.
“Utterly intolerable is the use of
our soil for alien intrigues. Every
Americon must unreservedly con-
demn them and support every effort
for their suppression”.
The nominee assailed the admin
stration for its "direction and dip-
lomatic intercourse" from the be-
ginning. declaring that where there
should have been conspicious
strength and expertness there has
been weakness and inexpertness.
He cited San Domingo as an instance
where appointments had gone to
“ deserving Democrats" and to the
failure to continue Ambassador
Herrick at his post in Paris after
the war started as a “lamentable
sacrifice of international repute."
“ I indorse the declaration in the
platform in favor of woman's suf-
frage." Mr. Hughes declared,
he added:
“Opposition may delay, but in my
-
one question—it must be the biggest
and most exhaustive collection of
westerners ever assembled—suffici-
ent prizes and inducements must
be offered to attract more partici-
pants than had ever been assembled
on any similar occasion.
After tbe above idea had become
a fact, a number of the leading citi-
zens wanted to the affair an artistic
as well as championship “epoch"
and the spectacles “The Birth and
Passing of the West" and the pres-
ent period subject “Pjeparduess"
ware added. In addition to those
participating io the Round Up more
than one tbousaud men, women, In-
dians and horses will be used in the
spectacles—the ' scenic equipment
will consist of "Runs," "Relays," and
“Backings" to the summit of a
mountain peak, in actual height
more than fifty feet and a length of
more than nine hundred. Only out
of doors could such a vast expanse
be constructed. The well known New
York Hippodrome stage would be
lost in one of the ravines, or bidden
from view by any of the many
miniature mountains.
Talks On Thrift.
CLEAN UP.
The home and Us surroundings is
an outward expression of the char
acter of its inhabitants. Tbe back
yard is a good iudication of what
you will find iu the bed room. No
matter how humble tbe home, if it
is clean and neat, it is attractive,!
for the same reason that no matter
how poor a man’s clothes may be, if1
he is neat with all his poverty, he!
will not be unbecoming.
As you go around the city you j
will find little homes that typify all
that is desirable in home life. It
may be only a cottage, with its walks,,
its flower beds, and its garden, the■
vines carefully traiued, the trees;
pruned, the bouse painted, the fence j
in good repair, the gate with a latch
and you conclude that this man is a
man of thrift, and lie is. You would
naturally expect to find a bank book!
somewhere in the house, and the]
house as clean as the yard. And
you would, for bank books cornel
out of well kept housei.
On the contrary if you find an air;
of neglect and decay, the fence fall-i
ing down, the walks full of weeds, I
the garden unplanted, chickens run-1
ning around loose, and a general air
don't care about the place, you con-
clude that this is a home without j
thrift, And it is. Inside such a,
house you will find dirt aud disord-1
•it holding forth from cellar to gar
ret, and you don’t expect to ftn I a
And' bank book therein, and the chances
| ire you won't.
