We give elsewhere in this issue the
Somerset county vote in tabulated form.
By this it will appear that Republicans
have carried the county by 1890 plural
ity on the Governors vote, and elected
senator's and every county fficer by
about this same plurality. They have
also elected every representative to the
legislature. Somerset may not have
made as large gain as some ether coun-
ties, but it must be remembered that 1t
was one of the three counties In the
State "spotted" to be carried by the
Democracy and in which special effort
was made. Somerset is all right has
made a good fight and will do II again
The next time.

State election and State fairs are over
and now county and town cattle shows
and fairs are in order. To be sure these
are not the mammoth aggregations of
the State events but they are enjoyable
for exhibitors and spectators. The
officers and managers are apt to get
about all the work they bargain for in
the day or two days they are 10 session
but they have tie satisfaction of know
ing that they are helping along the
society and encouraging agriculture and
business. They can afford to put in
some work of this kind once a year. 1t
is not labor lost by any means. Ii may
not show in dollars and cents immedi-
ately but it will In time make for the
good of our farms, our homes and
business. A good representative fair
that brings together the stock and other
products OF the farm and of our mills,
factories, work chops and the handiwork
OF the women In our homes cannot well
avoid having a stimulating effect upon
all interested. Therefore we hold that
our advice, given heretofore as well as at
this time, for our people to sustain the
cattle shows and fairs, lie sound and
sensible. We hope 1t will be needed.

strength in Arkansas at the recent State
election fell off $4,000 votes, but we
haven't heard that Mr.. Hanna or any of

that they figured out that by the same

The death of Hon. Arthur Sewall of
Bath was a great loss to Maine. Among
the business men of the State of Maine,
as we'll as the owners and officials OF
railways, merchants, manufacturers and
other shipbuilders, Mr.. Sewall was
highly esteemed; by the people of his
native city he was held in honor and
regarded with affectionate pride. Any
city would greatly miss and sincerely
mourn such man of public spirit and
great worth as a man and citizen.

plurality. They have all sorts of ways

voters at the partial and Intellectual en-
forcement of the Prohibitory law and at

to see laws enforced, the Prohibitory as

Democrats in regard to loss or gain of

WAR ON THE san JOSE SCALE.

A. Mcpherson, the state fruit pest in

The San Jose scale is found to be distrib-

in all the orchards near the city limits.
Many of TIE old trees in the city are pro

by the ravages of this pest that they

Mcpherson says that heroic measures are
Just now demanded to save not only the
fruit trees, but the ornamental trees and
shrubs of this city. He says nothing less
than a wholesale destruction of the old
trees will rescue the city FROM threat
ened loss of many of our most ornamen-
tai and useful trees and shrubs.
1t is necessary that the people should
wake up to this fact. The trees which
are so far gone as to be past redemption
must be cut down and burned. Then
| the young fruit trees and the ornamental
trees can be saved by the spray pumps.
The lime, sulphur, salt and lye compound
is sure and practical remedy. The pes,

Idaho. The fight for the orchards is in
augurated everywhere. Idaho is in the
lead in this fight. The Lewiston valley
is one of the finest fruit districts in the
United States. 1t is fitting that we should
lead in the fight against this imported
pest. Because we have so much at stake
we should apply heroic remedies; we
should cut this disease out root and
branch.
The fruitgrower with young orchard
not infested has the remedies at hand
that will insure him against the pest.
The menace to outside orchards is incon-
siderable compared to the danger to the
useful and beautiful trees in the city from
the old trees that breed millions OF scale
every summer. Our lovely groves and
arbors are already attacked. When the
fruit trees can no longer feed the insects
they spread to other sources of mainte-
nance. Only the destruction of the scale
will spare the city from blight that Will
denude our trees and shrubs.
All owners of lots will receive notice
to cut down trees pronounced incurable,
and to clean out all willows and other
brush that may harbor the scale. The
inspector has full power under the law to
enforce the measures he may prescribe.
The willows along the rivers and sloughs
are badly infected. Orders have been
issued to have all the infested willows
along the railroad, river, sloughs and
fences cut down and burned.

THE Marcum boilers talk about
the assaults that were made upon
them. They forget to tell the
causes of the fights that occurred.
Take one, for instance: The chief
bulldozer of the boilers was sweet
ened by having a molasses pitcher
broken in his face in the dining
room of the Wilmington hotel.
The man who threw the molasses
pitcher was a Wolverton delegate
from the Choctaw nation. He
threw the pitcher because the chief
bulldozer from South McAlestel
was denouncing all Wolverton men
as scoundrels. By the way, the man
hit with the pitcher was the same
nice, quiet. peaceable bolter who
cursed and swore in the convention
because the ladies were present.
Oh, these boilers were nice men.
They did not do or say anything
They were child like, lamb like, tc
hear them tell it.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1900-06-17

DID the Marcum boltercrats bolt
because they feared an investiga
ton of the charges made that
many of their club rolls contained
the names of republicans and of
negroes both dead and alivel or
did they refuse to allow the inves-
tigatiou in order that they might
have an excuse to bolti Instea ad
of abusing the convention and the
people of Ardmore they had better
answer this question. The howl
which they are making will not be
taken as an answer to the charges
against the rolls of many os their
clubs, especially in view, of the
fact that the regular democrats
were anxious for an investigation,
and it was only prevented by the
bolt. If they were in a majority
and if their club rolls were all
right why should they have feared
an investigation This is the ex-
planation the people want to hear.

ABDMoRE, SUNDAY, JUNE II.

THE Marcumites came to Ard
more with the following prearrang-
ed plan: First, They were to capt
ure the organization of the conven-
tion by bulldozing methods. Sec
Ond, if they failed to capture the
organization of the convention then
they were TO break it up in row
Third, if they failed TO capture the
organization of the convention
and failed to break it up in a row,
then they were to bolt. This was
their plan of campaign and this
explains the bolt.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1900-06-17

SEVERAL of the Marcum dele
gates who refused to bolt the con-
vention stated that the bolt had
been advised by Col. Marcum and
his leaders for a number of days
before the convention met, in the
event that they failed to control
the temporary organization. So it
is seen that the claim that they
bolted on account of the treatment
which they received at the hands
of the convention is a subterfuge,
1t was all agreed upon before, as
is proven by the testimony Of dele
gates who were original Marcum
men. The abuse which they are
now heaping upon the majority of
the convention for refusing to SUBJ
NIT to their dictation is only re-
sorted to for the purpose of cover
ing up their own methods. They
are initiating the plan of the flee
ing robber who cried stop thief''
in order to attract attention from
himself and make others believe
that he was pursuing a thief, when
in reality he was himself the trans
gressor.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1900-06-17

Col MARcUM started, conducted
and finished his canvass upon the
idea that DIR. Wolverton was hyp-
oerite. 1t is true that he did not
use this exact language, but every
speech he made was based upon
this idea. 4 favorite expression Of
his was: DIR. Wolverton says he
is in favor of free coinage of sill
yer, but how do we know what the
Doctor thinksi" By ridicule and
insinuation he assailed the integ-
rity of DIR. Wolverton. Col. Mar
cum made direct appeal to the
passions and prejudices of his au-
diences. The passion manifested
at the Ardmore convention grew
directly out of the course pursued
by Col. Marcum. His speeches
had inflamed the minds of his sup
porters and had aroused the resent
ment of the friends of DR.. VOL
verton. No one but Col. Marcum
is to blame. The responsibility
for the bolt rests upon his head
and his head alone. He is fire.
brand and disorganizer.
