Candidate for county clerk, is
claimed by Alma people. He was
born on section 80, Pine River, and
in 1883 his parents moved to Alma,
when he entered the employ of Ii.
w. Ellison and remained there
about six years. In 1880 he took
charge Of the Alma Mercantile Gro =
Gerry department and remained there
until elected to the position he now

clerk Of this village four years and
made q most efficient officer in this
capacity which was a stepping stone
to his position now. But few
counties have enjoyed better clerks

has ever excelled him. He is noted

the systematic order in which he
conducts his office. lie takes pride
in keeping his Office neat and de
lights in being of service to all who
desire information.

only not asking that this country
he opened up, but they are oppos-
ed 10 il and they as we'll do desire
that the interests of monopoly he
not nolest,d by any change in our
government Of whatsoever kind.
II Is true we have some so called
friends who advise us to allot, but
they don't derstand the si,ua-
ton or else they are friends to the
common people. II ought TO APP
peal to the patriotic pride of mon-
opoly everywhere to allow the
Territory to remain just as IL j.
in tho hands OF monopoly, all of
which you are bound to admit is
best. The inborn spirit of unfair.
ness in monopoly everywhere
should appreciate our Efforts in
opposition to allotment and should
help us to defeat these enemies.
Ii Is charged that those of us who
constitute monopoly are using a
great deal more of the public do
main than would be our pro rata
share. We admit it TO be a fact
but our laws authorize it and mon.
opoly, instead of the nations or
the people, gets the benefit of it.
Can there be anything wrong
about it2
In speaking of the leases Of the
different kinds in the Territory
they are mostly in the hands OF
those of us who constitute monop.
oily. they are legitimate, if not
satisfactory with the common peo.
Pile. Then if our laws authorize
these things, why the need OF
bringing the interests Of the poor
of the Territory to bear on Con
gress as evidence in favor of allot-
ment. 1t is claimed by some that
the law authorizing these leases
can, at any time, be repealed
That, we must confess in private,
if not in public, is all bosh so long
as the United States government
will keep her hands off. An hon
est investigation Of the situation
VIII show up the same state OF al
fairs here that you will find every
where where monopoly rules
Then doesn't our defense seem
reasonable? A change in our land
tenure and form of government,
we must admit in private, if not in
public, would greatly increase the
opportunities of the masses of our
people. But it is the interests OF
monopoly we are looking after
now. In closing our defense we
will state. il the United States gov
ernment does force a change in
our form OF government, it will be
in the eyes Of monopoly every
where, common robbery.

THE GREAT DAY HAS GOMEZ
THE cHERoKEEs HAPPY-THE
MERCHANTS HAPPY.
Vinita Now P esents the Sight Of
A Lifetime.

The long looked-for payment is
here at last. and with il the big
gest and the jolliest crowd that
was ever in Vinita. Every shade
of human character is represented
on our streets to-day, and the city
is indeed cosmopolitan in appear
ance. From present indications
there will be a much larger crowd
yet,as every train brings throng
Even the freight trains are loaded
with people coming to the pay
ment, and the wagon roads are
lined with people, in wagons and
buggies, on horse. back and on foot,
all eager to get to the pay house.
The number and character of fakirs
on the ground is simply remarka-
BILE. Some of the most novel
schemes for making money are in
operation on the streets. A num-
Der Of blind beggars with hand or
gans are grinding away from morn
ing till night. Lemonade stands
are to be found anywhere and
everywhere; a barrel of Cabin Greek
wlter, chunk of ice, hall a dozen
lemons cut in half with a quantity
of tartaric acid, is about the aver.
age stock of this refreshing bever-
age. The presence of so large a
crowd, the playing of bands and
the shouts of refreshment venders
is suggestive of an immense and
continuous picnic. A delay OF
half DAY was caused by moving
the pay house from the vest side
to the east. as the law required
Delaware to be paid in that dis
trict. This suited the business
men very well as the present ar
rangement takes the throng out OF
the street. The brokers are get.
ting in their work in great shape.
This business is probably no in
fraction of the law, but it may
mean disaster to some of the mer-
chants and others who have sold
largely on Strip credit.

We have demonstrated with the
authorities against turning Vinita
into a gambling hell during the
payment, and have been told that
it just can't be helped, and that il
is a source of great revenue to the
city. Shame on such argument.

friends of monopoly of the Indian
Territory, beg leave to submit to
the Honorable Dawes Commission
through the columns of the Phoen
tx the following as our wishes in re-
gard 10 the proposed changes in
the Territory:
First. We admit in private, if
not in public, that She act Of Con
gress Of March 3, 1893, would be
best for the common people OF the
Territory, but would work ruin to
the monopoly of the country. We
believe Congress has been lnisled
by the enemies of monopoly friends
of tho common people. II is all
mistake and il might just as well be
understood one time as another
that the good white men in the Ter
ritory(we mean those Of them that
belong TO monopoly OF the Terrific
