THE MODERN MArIA.

There can no longer be any doubt

formed among the scar.faces and
pluR-uglies of Oklahoma Town to force

for support and encouragement upon
the Republican Organization, as Is
shown by the mounting of the Capital

nized liars have heretofore held the
law at arms length and terrorized the
community TO their own ends There
are as good people in the town as any
where in the world, and they doubt
less predominate, but through unwil-
lingness to mix In local broils, they
have quietly got along with as little
trouble as possible. allowing bloats
and buns to rule the roost and estab-
lish the reputation of the town. There
has never been a man OF respectability
or of talents who popped his head up

the gang has indicated time and again
that they would scruple at no means
of putting him out of the way. He
has been maligned aud misunderstood,
but he faces the fire of misrepresenta-

at threats of personal violence. There
Is a trace of bad blood underneath IL

deter him in his purpose to break up

Pluck in the race for success has
long since distanced luck. Enterprise
goes forward. with steady tread, and
reaches the goal while timidly stands
covering before every adverse
wind. To appreciate what
pluck, energy and enter
prise has accomplished, visit to THE
LEADER book bindery will disclose.
Starting not yet year ago, with no
plant, it has gone steadily forward,
and overcoming all obstacles it, to-day,
invites competition There is, in the
cities, no more complete plant, or one
that does better or finer work. 1t is a
Richmond in the field, who has come
to stay, and to conquer too, though an
hundred Richards may contend.
The indery is presided over by a
foreman, who is an expert, and who
gives it his closest personal attention.
In The LEADER plant an actual
working force of twenty-seven is kept
continually busy, and this force repre-
sents a weekly pay roll of $500. The
bindery is supplied with the most inn
proved machinery. and is capable, and
does turn out, as fine specimens of
work as any bindery in the United
States. One of the great points scored
by it, is that owing to its completeness
and the systematic clock work with
which it is carried On, it can afford to
bid as low as the lowest The motto
of its proprietors being to make liv-
ing profit from it's patrons and not a
killing loss to them.
The field of operations of the bind
cry have continually increased, and it
not only bids for work IN Oklahoma
Territory r(and it always bids the
lowest, too,) but its trade extends to
several of the Southern Kansas coun-
ties The travelling repre- sentative,
Mr.. ii. A. Platt, is on the road all the
while, and, owing to strict business
methods, he has been more than sue
cessful. The enter prise is only
the nucleus of what its proprie.
tors intend making it. The
nelu 10 u IdTRe one ana they
intend covering it fully. Their enter
prise warrants them in hoping for the
best results. There is no reason for
St Louis and Kansas City houses
doing the work that home enterprise
can do just as well, and possibly bet
ter. The country is increasing every
day In. population and wealth, and the
demand must perforce keep pace with
| the country's growth.
THE LEADER bndery is ready to un-
dertalSe any character of work, and to
guarantee that it will do the work in
such a manner as to please the most
| fastidious.

from Virginia who has been studying

certainly elect l29 Democratic mem
