politics. After Governor Barnes ap-
pointment, the marshalShip fight came
on, and after a great deal of maneuver-
ing Governor Barnes indorsed Harry
Thompson, who is connected with the
Rock Island railroad and is, besides, a
close friend and admirer of Mr.. Low.
Mr.. Thompson secured the appointment
of United States marshal Since then
he has drifted away from Governor
Barnes and has formed an alliance
with Secretary Jenkins.
When the census supervisor matter
reached the point that the president
ordered Flynn Barnes and jenkins to
confer on a man, Mr.. Thompson, the
Rock Island influence thought of Mr..
Conklin, and his name was suggested
by Mr.. Jenkins for census supervisor
Mr.. Barnes and Mr. Flynn agreed on
Mr.. OutceIt. Jenkins refused to con-
form to the majority decision and stuck
out for ConElin. The Rock Island, and
through it the Iowa influence, is said to
have landed Conklin in the place.
The politicians believe that this ap-
pointment will be the Introduction of
Mr. Low into Oklahoma politics. He is
| considered one of the shreWdest men in
| the west, and with fund of fine cour-
| age, noted for staying by his friends to
| a finish, and of being watchful for their
/ interest

surprised to see how healthy they are,
the percentage of sick seldom exceeding
five, the trouble being mostly malaria
Of a mild type. He continues:
..The men in camps are doing well,
especially in view of the moral and mil
itary relaxation which prevails in this
enervating climate Our soldiers are
usually well cared for. They are kept
away from the sun, do no fatigue work,
drill but little, drink boiled water, more
or less beer and very little whisky or
rum The question of taking care of
American troops in this climate viii al
ways be a serious one and difficult of
solution. I believe we should reduce
our troops to the minimum number pos
sible and organize native regiments,
partly oficered by Americans. My
knowledge of the CubanS leads me to
think this would be very successful.
