ROUGH RIDERS REUNION.
Oklahoma City Making Great
Preparations.

The Rough Riders reunion at
Oklahoma City is occupying the
whole attention of 0klahoma at
present. Never before has such
great affair been undertaken in the
southwest and it will probably be
years before the dwellers in the
territories will have such an op-
portunily of witnessing such a
gathering so near home.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt will be
the center Of attraction. He will
bring with him a large party Of
prominent men from the east
among whom will be Paul Morton,
Of the Santa Fe road, and Editor
Kohlsaat, Of the Chicago Times
Herald, and il is whispered that
there will be two or three Of the
more distinguished senators with
him. Col. Roosevelps speech or
July 3rd will probably be the most
notable Of the year and will be well
worth going hundreds of miles TO
hear. He will also officiaie in a
grand military review and will
confer the degree in the X. OF p.
installation OF the order OF D.0.K.K.
Besides Col. Roosevelt and his
Rough Riders, many other noted
militrry figures will be present,
General Irving Hale will be there
with the 1st Colorado, and General
Metcalf with the Goth Kansas. The
let Tennessee will also be there.
Other distinguished visitors will
be Gen. Joe Wheeler, Gen. Cabell,
Gen. Black, and Col. Brodie.
The cowboy tournament will be
an especially western feature and
will be the largest ever seen. II
has created great excitement in
Texas aud New Mexico and the
Indian Territory is sure 10 be
heard from. Over one hundred
cowboys will contest and il is pre-
dicted the worlds record for quick
ying and suoc sssful" bronko bust
lng"will be beaten. The Indian ball
game between Greek and Ohociaw
teams will divide attention with
the cowboys. It's not likely that
there will be any hair raising but
the game is sure to 30 otherwise
exciting.
On the nights Of the I'd, 8rd, and
4th Of July, Pains great pyFolech.
mic spectacle Of the battle Of San
Juan will be given. This will be
thrilling and realistic in the ex.
treme. Our townsman, Billy
Sinus, once assisted Pain in pro-
ducing a naval battle and he says
the reproduction will be complete
in every detail.

A PREMATURE BOLT.

Ifthe Ardmore convention was
in the future instead Of the past,
there would be no bolt. There
was corrupt practices enough on
buth sides, no doubt, but it is
nearly always a mistake to bolt a
regularly constituted convention,
and those who participate in a
bolt take their political liyes in
their hands Besides, Inc time
had not arrived in the Ardmore
convention when a bolt could be
made consistently. The Marcum
men claim that many OF their dele
gates were going TO be shut out,
but ehould have waited till II had
been fact The Marcum people
we're so sure that they were going
10 lie mistreated and beaten un-
fairly that they did not stay to see
it out, but Under the leadership OF
III lichings bsat hasly retreat.
The time spent IN the viIlification
OF The innocent people Of Ardmore
is worse than wasted The case is
now up to Kansas City, and all
parties should be prepared to
acquiesce in the final decision OF
the national body.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1900-06-21

To the Chieitain the prosperity
Of Vinita and the success of her
enterprises are above and beyond
all political considerations. 1t
wants to see the town move grand
ly to the front along all lines. 1t
is more profitable, and shows a
better spirit to encourage every
legitimate undertaking than to
dwell on the bitterness, and stir
up the strife of personal animosi-
ties. The man who, like the blind
snake, is continually striking
wildly at everything around him
ought to be avoided and left to his
own meditations that he may see
the error Of his way and reform.
The quality Of every mans work
speaks for itself, whether IL be
good or evil.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1900-06-21

The followers Of Col. Marcum
in the Ardmore convention COM
mitted most unfortunate error in
boiling the convention. With the
strength they had their case was
not entirely hopeless had they
stayed, aud they would have saved
themselves the opprobrium OF be-
ing boilers. II is far better for
the man with political aspirations
10 suffer defeat than bolt a con-
vention of his party. The provo
cation may be very great and the
chances OF fair deal may be hope
lees, but it is seldom wise to join
a bolt. The reports of the con-
vsntion printed in all the metro
politan newspapers are headed
"Marcum men bolt" and the
leaders in that welk out can never
quite shake of the stigma of being
boilers. 1t is a most unfortunate
occurrence to the democracy Of the
Indian Territory, and will have
tendency TO weaken it for years
to come.

There is food Tor thought in the
recent political disturbance at the
convention at Ardmore. Man lie a
spectacular being. He is fond Of
politics because the enthusiasm
OF heated partisanism feeds his
love of excitement. The masses
are at such times driven hither
and lhither by the impulse Of the
hour. The leaders in such crises
are not necessarily men of great
personality, or of overmastering
intellect, but on the contrary, may
be the commonest mediocre.
The dull speechless idol is worship
ed with all the vehemence mans
nature is capable Of. Aaron car
ried the Children of Israel from
the very presence Of Jehovah and
set them worshipping a golden
calf. Americans we're hoarse
with shouting for Dewey one day
and in another had turned from
him in disgust. Tallyrand, the
consummate French politician,
looked from his window at mob
running through the streets OF
Paris and exclaimed in ecstacy
.See, there goes a mob, and Pam

To the generality of men there
is nothing made out of politics, but
there are men in the Cherokee
nation who have lived off what
they could get out Of Cherokee
politics and some of them have
done reasonably well. To depend
on public office is a precarious ex-
istence, and in course of time
every man must expect to be beat.

A vinita delegate TO the demo-
cratic convention had rather
ludicrous experience at Ardmore.
While at the dinner table, two
gentlemen Of opposing opinions
became involved in a quarrel and
one struck the other over toe head
with a syrup pitcher, and the VI
nita man, who sat near by him,
received the benefit Of most Of the
oontents., This formed a very
desirable place for tiies to feast,
and for time he was well sup
piled. While passing down the
street to secure clean clothing two
or three persons we're heard to re-
mark, "ihere goes a democrat you
can't say there's no flies on"

the matter may be settled.

The Marcum boilers are too light
to go against anything bigger than
democratic club. Their meth
ode don't count for much in ter
ritorial convention. The trouble
down at Ardmore was the boys
were outclassed, and they will
meet the same fate at Kansas City.

About the wisest thing the Mar
cum boilers did at the Ardmore
convention was to select a suitable
place to 90 to when they walked
out. The United States court
house was not an afterthought. 1t
were well to pick good place to
fall.
