School Land Isaacs CM.
To those interested in school land
lease: Your committee met at Guth-

deal on the school lands in this county.
We found fifty-seven sections still un-
applied for. According to agreement,
vour committee applied for them.
Your leases with notes accompanying
them will be forwarded to yon as soon
as possible. We ask each one inter-
ested in this matter to assist in re-leas-
ing these fifty-seven sections. Most
of these sections are near and adjoin-
ing farmers in this county. As these
■sections must be leased, we would pre-
fer our home people leasing them, and
now give you the chance. The price
is thirty-three dollars a section per
year, 2o per cent cash, lease runs for
five years. You can find blank at
County Attorney Smith's office or by
calling on me. All those wanting
these lands must apply at once, as they
have to be paid for. therefore must be
used. J. E. Love, Ch'mn.
The above communication tells
what was done in this county. Farm-
ers or stockmen desiring any of these ,
sections as yet unlaken should get a

SIlTer League Convention.
One of the most important events in
the history of Woodward county oc-
curred last Saturday in the organiz-
ation of the Woodward County 8ilver
League. The report of the Secretary
appears in another column. Good
speeches were made by a number of
gentlemen as therein noted, which
were forceful and to the point, but de-
cidedly the best of the lot was the
clean cut, decisive address by Judge
W. M. Hammock. He referred in
ringing words to the condition of our
country today, stating that gold was
the money of the rich man who was
using it to enslave the people. That
while he gave the administration cred-
it for sincerity and honesty of purpose,
he did not view the sttuaton as does
Grover Cleveland and the gentlemen
who compose his cabinet. Continuing,
he said he had always been a demo-
crat, that he hoped to die as he had
lived politically, that when the strug-
gle for party supremacy came in 1896
be wanted to see that party win that
was for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. He then uttered the follow-
ing significant language: "Fellow
Citizens, I have a statement to make
you, and I measure my words as I
speak it. When the national conven-
tions meet in 1896 to formulate
platform of principles and nominate
their candidates for president of the
United States, I hope and pray that
the democratic party will declare
for free silver. If they do not, how-
ever, I shall cast my vote for the
party that does. I have for 18 years
subordinated my individual opinions
to the aggregate wisdom of my party,
and have worn the collar loyally. I
have seen my friends betrayed and
their brightest and best hopes de-
stroyed by the voice of conventions,
and yet I have been unswerving in my
fealty to the democratic party. Today
I love that party, if possible, better
than ever, but when I look around and
see strong men willing and anxious to
work, idle and hungry, poor women
and helpless children, with their faces
pinched and pale from hunger's rav-
ages, I must., as a true American, for-
get party and party affiliations, if nec-
essary, to give them relief. If this
sentiment and declaration be treason,
deposit the indictment in the lion's
mouth, and let me be put to the sword.
I am ready for the sacrifice and will
go down without a murmur of com-
plaint, but appealing to (tod as a wit-
ness to the sincerity of my course."
The address of Mr. Hunter was also
sharply defined in character and [
proved conclusively that the speaker
recognized the importance of a move-
ment which will form an epoch in the
history of America.
The Silver League is a good move-
ment and should meet the hearty en-
dorsement of every citizen of Wood-
ward county, regardless of political
affiliation. If the party gets right oil
this question, stand by it. Otherwise,,
show that you appreciate loyalty to
country more than mere partisanship.
