THE INDIAN CREATION LEGEND.

The earliest source for the religion of
India is the hymns of the Rig Veda, the
date of which is now fixed at about 1000
r. c., says Morris Jastrow, Jr in Harper s
Magazine for June. In one of these hymns
we encounter as the creator Purusha Hno
is simply "magnifed man" A pantheis-
tic turn, however, Is given to this concep-
ton under the influence of which Purusha
becames the "al in all" and is identified
with the universe. with what has been and
what shall be. All gods. animals. and
castles are parts of him. The moon il his
mind. the sun his eye, from his mouth
sprang Indra and Agni, and from his
breath Vayu; space from his navel, hoa
ven from his head, and the earth from his
feet. This emanation theory, when freed
from It's primitive elements, becomes pan
theism. pure and simple. In accord with
this view the source of creative activity
is carried back In other hymns to desire "

THE G0VERNORSHIP
A Man who Believes In Fair Play
in Politics Some Suggestions
Regarding Political Work.
To the Editor of The Free Press:

Some of the Proctor newspapers have of
late ben vociferously charging McCul-
Tough with the use of improper methods
in the present campaign.
In the interest of fair play the voters of
the State should know what Is being done
by the other candidates.
For instance, In Georgia and Springfield
Proctor clubs have been organized and
maintained. Does any one believe 1t has
been done without expense. In addition to
this there is positive evidence that Proc
tor or his friends are using money
to further his interests in near
ly every county In the State and
moro than one instance is report
ed where the Proctor managers have
set professional politicians at work after
they have sought employment from Glenn
ent or Mccullough and were turned
down.
Again Is there no expense connected
with Clements free lunch club room in
Bristol and his club rooms in other places.
Why not be fair about this We gentle
men of the other side and admit as your
followers are now often saying ut Is any
thing to beat Mccullough, and never mind
the expense"

TIE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.
(From the Mortified News.)

The preconvention republican campaign
Is now on its last month. Already caucu-
SEES are beginning to be held and thus far
for the most part they are favorable to
Gen. McCulloughs candidacy.
Such towns as Richmond. Charlotte,
Huntington, Jericho and Bolton are repre-
sentative farming communities and these
have all unanimously chosen Mccullough
delegates with the exception of the lat
ter town, where there Is to be a contested
delegation. as 1t is claimed, with appar-
cnt good reason that the caucus was pack
ed for Proctor. There were more votes
than names on the check list and it has
been shown that men were brought i'll and
voted for Proctor who had no legal resi-
dence in the town. 1t is practically con-
coded that a large majority OF the sub
stantial citizens of ESSEX are for McCul-
lough
7 he fact Is the republican voters consider
Gen. Mccullough the logical candidate for
governor this year. for these reasons
among many others:
He Is the ablest man of the three caudi-
dates. AS governor he would give Yer
ment an administration equalled only by
the most distinguished of his long line of
prede ccsscrs.
He has ably represented his county IN the
general assembly and as president pro-
TEN of the senate has rendered efficient
service.
He has given literally of his wealth and
his time in the public interests of the
state since he became a resident. nearly
thirty years ago.
He ranks among the best men of tho
country in executive ability. and because
of that he is one of the most successful
business men; yet he is genial and APP
proaohable and in full sympathy with his
fellow citizens of every rank.
fe withdrew from the governorship con
test four years ago in the interests Of har-
mony In the party at An important period
in the life of the nation; he asked for no
pledges and scorned the idea of making
any deals which might advance his future
political interests.
He was early urged by his friends and
admirers into the campaign this yelr and
SO heartily was he received by the voters
that another man who had been in train
ing by a ring of politicians for the COVER
norship for sometime was withdrawn.
lie comes from a loyal republican county
which for years has been aiding other

Not one good reason has been advanced
why Gen. Mccullough should not receive
the republican nomination for governor
why Bennington county should not now be
recognized and the honor conferred upor
him. 1t would be for the best interests
of the State and for the party of which he
has long been a tried and loyal worker

Inc scneme devised Dy Dennis
Flynn, to defeat the Oklahoma
statehood measure, while appsr-
emily working for it. is alleged to
be, in his opposition to an al
lance of interests with the Indian
territory.
1t il charged that be knew that
congress would not grant Oklaho-
ma statehood without the territory
before the introduction of his bill.
While the provisions OF his bin
are accepted as having killed Ok
lahoma's chances for statehood, it
has turned the attention of con-
gress to the necessity Of enacting
legislation for the relief Of the ter
ritory.
OF the several measures propos-
ed the Moon bill meets with the
most favor and stands a strong
chance of passage.
As the first fight for relief was
made by the advocates of single
statehood, it would be but a logi-
cal sequence TO find them in line
for this territorial measure, which
is but the first step toward ulti-
mate statehood.
Some, however, are opposed to
il, as they fear that it will prevent
the final obtaining OF single state
hood.
This fallacy is well answered, in
the following from the pen OF an
Indian citizen who has been fol-
lowing closely the trend OF pro-
posed legislation affecting the
territory:
"Instead of making it more dif-
ficult TO secure single statehood,
the Moon bill will be the greatest
means of securing IL. 1t will, In
giving an opportunity to establish
counties and county seats, to elect
a delegate to congress, to provide
for county schools, territorial
legis lature, judiciary and many
other important changes, hasten
the time for congress to bestow
upon us the rights of statehood
along with Oklahoma. There is
no necessity for the Indian terri
tory to refuse The benefits which
the Moon bill offers in order to be
absolutely certain of statehood
with Oklahoma in three or tour
years from now.
Many who are fighting the bill
are doing so for the reason that 1t
contains a provision for the terri
torisl Legislature. Their objections
are rather queer, in the face ofthe
fact that they are working in the
interest Of a statehood bill which
embraces a legislative feature.
Why q legislature under q terri
torial form Of government is OBJ
iected to and a legislature under a
state form Of government is favor
ed. I an at q loss to understand.
