nnote OF the presence Of Amos A.
wing in Guthrie this week and his
freauent ana close consultations with
Cash Register Cade, chairman of the
Republican campaign committee
some ar these conferences, or sittings,
we're prolonged affairs. far into the
silent watches Of the mysterious night
Whereat the usually compfacent Ewing
would next day complain Of being
troubled with granuated eyelids.
IL appears. moreover, that these
two manipulators in the game Of pol
itics-cade and Ewing incubat-
ing plan to ward of the impending
success Of Democracy in that hither-
TO stronghold Of Republicanism-
Kinghsher county and this plan agreed
upon rrfolss itsylt in the announce
ment thaf R. Emmett Stewart and w. G.
P. Brown. two colored spellbinders Of
Logan county fame. viii next week
precipitate an oratorical assault upon
the colored citizens Of Kinghsher
county in an endeavor to whip them
back into line and continue TO do the
bidding OF their white Republican
masters as they have done during the
past forty yea S.
For. be Il known the situation in
Kingfsher county il indeed alarming
from the Republican viewpoint. The
muiterings of discomfort and rebel
lion which have brought terror into
the hearts of the white political ring
sters OF Logan county, have grown in
to open mutiny in our neighboriag
county, Kinghsher where The colored
brothers, tired of their continued
abassment in the distribution of the
fruits OF victory and conscious too,
that in their vote lies the balance of
power, have placed a fun tioket in the
field, under the name Of the John
Brown Ticket Truly. historic
name to bring support to the colored
ticket And it is gaining strength,
too. IN spite Of the frantic efforts Of
Ewing to stem the growing tide Of
open mutlny and revolt He has TAX
en- advantage Of woodmens picnic
to make It an occasion for a political
barbecue that he might nll the stom
achs OF the colored voter with roast
ed beef. He has scattered among
them with lavish hand the glittering
coin wrested from The ilLgotlen wealth
Of the Standard Oil company he has
coddled them and nodded them-all
to the end that ne and his ilk may
continue to ride into office and power
on the groaning backs Of The hitherto
faithful colored ass
But Ewing and his fellows have
sinned away their day of grace Their
political pitcher has gone to the well
once 100 often. The colored voter Is
onto thei. parabolic curves and are
going 10 smash them in Kinghsher
county and Logan county on the
fourth day OF next month- Ewing
realize in spite Of his assumed
bravado that ne Is up against the real
thing, hence his engagement of sew
art and Brown 70 perform TN otatori-
cal stunt IN Kinghsher county.
And who is this Ewing that would
have people call him great?
Memory Wander back through tho
vista OF brief six years and recalls
a poor and struggling figure with un-
seated trousers clamoring for place
at the pie counter His opportunities
are rewarded with an oil inspecjorship
and To- within an incredibly short
space Of time doe. this once stricken
figure bloom 10 IN even as a rose In
the desert His figure becomes opu
lent fine raiment htted his person
and costly jewels hedeeked his flag
ers solomon would have hanged
himself from consuming envy could he
have bu. seen This doughty buccansel
OF the Baume gauge
And at The end Of four years. wher
a succeeding administration gently
yet firmly, dropped him rom the OF
fetal rolls, it is found that with bricl
blocks IN Wasonga and Kinghsher,
sixty acre farm in Ohio and a thirc
interest in 2i0 acre addition 70 th'
city Of Guthrie. ,he worries of the pol
iiiclan are not without reconpense.
And such is Amos Ewing caairmal
OF the Kiugdsher county central com
mittee WHO seeks bs eaiolery and fai
promises 70 win colored support @
desperate cause.
