The story that w. l.. Trolt voted
for the recent agreements is untrue.
He voted againstit it and talked and
worked against IT, Trot is al.
right.
Good roads and good bridges

1.-The Downing party on The
east side Of the river would put

credit to the banner district.

The progressive ticket in this
district, proposes among other
ridiculous things, to give Willie

acres Of land at lie appraised
value,
The more tickets that are placed
in the field in this district the bet.
ter it will be for the national ticket.
1t will poll the fullblood national
vote aud get a large independent
vote, beside.
1t is earnestly hoped the city
council will give the people of VII
nita a public artesian well. A
supply Of good water, available to
the general public would be a fine
thing, emu no mistake.
--------------
The election Of w. L. Trott TO a
seat in the national council from
this district is generally conceded,
and he is a safe man. He is en-
dowed with plenty of native abil.
ity and has a clean record.
The absence of the expected
rush to the lottery Offices estab-
lished in Oklahoma, 10 issue tick

seoretary's opinion.
The rain that fell Tuesday and
Tuesday night will be worth many
thousands Of dollars to Yinita. |
The farmers and stockmen will |
again take courage. The price OF
hay and corn will take a tumble 1
and the possibility Of local bus.
mess panic will disappear for the
season.
Those who make light OF the
coming Cherokee election do so
without reason or knowledge. tits
exceedingly important at this
juncture to elect an honest and !
capable legislature. 1t will per-
haps be the last election we will |
have, and the right kind of men
ought to be selected.
Vinila should be represented in
