Editor Brunswick News:
Dear Sir:-Tne answer OF Mr.. Tw
ty in this mornings News to the afTi-
dayit of Mr.. Brady sorter takes the
cake" There is a kind OF egotisucal
air about IT, To he fair about this,
just let is look al it. Brady swears
chat Twitty sent him Moseward Twit-
ty undertakes to answer Brady by an
unsworn statement wherein he says
that Brady is in error as to his hay-
ing given that direction, and there
again Mr. Twitty assumes to Judge
Brady has stated a fact, namely, that
Twitty did send him. Now let Twitty
state the facts. Did he or ID he not.
And let the people judge as to VINO is
in error, they are the trlors. Let us
take the statements as they stand,
who shall be believed Brady or Twitty?
That is the question. All things being
equal. | submit that Brady. the sworn
witness, ought to be believed as against
Twitty the unsworn witness. For one
Is backed by the sanctity Of an oath
and the other not, and the people can
Judge as to whether Mr.. Brady though
an humble citizen, is not possessed of
as good a character as Mr.. Twitty.
Wen, now, let us apply another rule
to it, Let us say. if you please, tnat
an unsworn statement is as good as a
sworn statement and that the two
men are of equal good character and
vearcity, then who shall be believed?
We submit that the witness least in.
terested should be. Who then is least
interested, or VINO is the interested
witness? Mr. Twitty rs, for he has al
stake office, If not offices, position, If
not kingdom. Not only is Brady disin-
terested. but If he had an interest it
would be oppseod to attacking the ad-
ministration in that one of his sons is
a policeman. and you may consider the
question whether mis- reelection woulo
uot be jeopardlzed by this statement
from Mr. Brady. Let us apply another
rule to 1t. Ms. Twftty occupies ths

Big One for Administration.

Unquestionably the largest meeting
of the Good Government club held dur
ing the municipal campaign was the
one at the city hall last night, and en-
shusiasm as well as numbers was man
ifest during the entire evening.
President H. IT, McAllister was in
the chair, and IN callig tho meeting
together he took occasion TO say a few
very pleasant words commendatory to
Che present administration. AS soon
as he formally announced that the
injecting was in order, calls were made
for j d. Fogler, and that gentleman
responded with few brief remarks
las to why he thought the present ad-
minisuation should be sustained.
j T. Colson was the next speaker
on the program and he made one o.
his characteristic talks, in which he
scathingly referred to the opposition
.and threw wnole clusters Of bouquets,
chrysanthemums and pinks. at the

he SAYS T is A DEFENSE
Statement Of Mr.. Brady Is Causing
Considerable Tax in Political Cir
cIes Generally-Some Plain
Questions Asked.
Communicated
The Denial Criticised.

Editor Brunswick News.
Dear Sir:-We have read Chairman
McAllster's denial Ii is a honey. 1t
is a dandy. Come let us analyze it.
Brady swears Twity sent him to Nose.
! Twitty does not swear ne did not.
Chairman McAllister was not present,
and does not claim to have been and
therefore cannot know what did oc-
cur. So Chairman McAllister contents
himself with saying that those who
know Mr. Twitty feel perfectly sure"
tho latter did not make the statement
which Mr. Brady attributes to him.
Now that is all of the dental. 1t is
hnot what the lawyers cali hearsay
even, 1t is sort of I-reckon-so. And
the question comes up, is Mr. Twitty's
mere word TO overcome the sworn af-
tidavit of an intelligent, upright citf-
zen, certainly the equal of Mr. Twitty?
n that is true then Mr.. Twitty has
become power in the land But is
not Mr.. McAllister's denial another
evidence of condition OF one-man-
power again existing in this communi-
ty? Does not it sound sorter like
the King can do no wrong" that lis
word stands above the affidavit of the
humble, respectable citizen? Doesn't
it look like this mortal has put on
immortality ty"-Goo-Goo immortality?
Is not Chairman McAllister's state
ment another evidence of ring power
and ring rule? Does it not sound a
little like this: borrowing the express
sion of Richelieu where he stands we
draw around him the awful circle Of
ithe Gea-Gon Clan7'
Mr.. Editor, your readers can think
this over for they are JAe judges, ana
it is respectfully submitted by an
humble citizen for their careful consid-
GRAFTON.
Yours very truly.

coronado Was In okIshoma.

James r. Mead thinks that Coronado
crossed the Arkansas river at the mouth
of Cow creek, rather than at Dodge
City of Great Bend as some authorities
claim. He thinks it possible that he
may have crossed the river at about
where Wichita is located. but his is not
as probably in his mind as that he cross
ed the river at Hutchinson. Mr. Meade
reasons the conclusion he has arrived at
upon a more logical basis than other
students of Coronado's journey. For in
stance. he says that the historian Of
COronado's party speaks about seeing
rock salt. There is no place along or
within hundreds of miles Of his route
where rock salt shows on the surface ex-
cept on the surface except in Woodward
county, Oklahoma. near the line OF
Clark county. Kansas. That Coronados
party was there he has no doubt; and
that being the case he followed the In
dian routes to Quiviri. which surely must
have crossed the Arkansas at more
easterly point than Great Bend. Mr..
Meade saw western Kansas while IL was
practically in the same condition that
it was when Coronado was here. and
having read much about his northward
journey his views are valuable. He
learned much from the Indians concern
ing the surface rock salt deposits men
toned. Forty-two years ago he met
party OF Pawnee Indians from Nebraska
who were carrying salt away with them.
He asked them where they got IL and
they drew a map of the country show
ing that they got it at the place now
included in Wilson Brothers pasture in
Woodward county. They showed him the
ak with which they chopped it OF The
Indians said the ak was very sick. which
meant that the edge of IL was badly

or cakes Of the salt made a good load for
an Indian pony. They were carried on

Indians told Mr.. Mead that Indians had
been going for salt 10 these deposits for
