Bob Nsf Says
Mathews is a Winner Exit the
Pie-eating Brigade.

"The next delegate to congress
from Oklahoma will be demo-
crat."
The above remark was addressed
to representative Of the EXPRESS,
this afternoon, by Judge Robert A.
Nef, who was in the city between
trains, and who is campaigning
Oklahoma in the interest of Hon.
Frank Mathews. democratic candi-
date for delegate to congress.
1t is now a foregone conclusion
that Mathews will be elected, "
continued Judge Neff, "it now be
ing simply question as to how
large his majority will be. Some
place his majority over Mcclure
as high as ten thousand, but l be-
lieve that is little too strong how
ever / think it will undoubtedly be
between four thousand and FIVE
thousand.
Heretofore the republicans
have deceived a large number of
democrats into supporting the re-
publicsn candidate for delegate to
congress. with their statehood
promises, but having failed to full
fill those promises the democrats
who have heretofore supported
the republican candidate, now
realize the error Of their ways and
are lined up like a stone wall for
Mathews. He will get every dem
ocratic vote in Oklahoma, together
with many republican votes. Re
publicans who are desirous of state
hood and that includes every re-
publican aside from the federal ap-
pointees. now realize that Mcclure
has betrayed them, and that instead
of working for statehood he has
been working against it. Instead
of representing the masses he has
been simply representing the fed
eral appointees and the pie-counter
brigade. This will cause MIN TO
lose hundreds Of republican votes
in this campaign, and he will be
one OF the worst defeated candi-
dates that ever aspired to Office in
Oklahoma.
Il have been over the greater
portion Of Oklahoma in this cam
paign, and being so we'll acquaint-
ed with the situation, | assure you
that the next delegate te represent
Oklahoma in congress will be Hon.
Frank Mathews, and his election
will result in a speedy passage Of a
statehood bill that will unite the
two territories into one state, there
by forming state that, in natural
resources, will be the grandest aud
richest commonwealth in the
union.
Judge Nef left on the afternoon
train for Hennessey. 0. T., where
he is billed to deliver an address.
Four years ago he was the democra-
cratic candidate for congress,
against Dennis Flynn, at which
election there was over ?, 900 of his
ballots thrown out, thus counting
him out and seating Dennis Flynn.

Good Trade in the West.

CHICAGO. Jan. 21.-The general
wholesale trade in the west is solid
and of the promising sort In many
lines the activity thus far in 1904 has
exceeded the expectations. This is
especially true of the grocery and dry
goods trades. In the general grocery
trade the present business is very
nOticeably above the normal. and in
staples the activity is pronounced.
In the iron and steel branches the
years beginning is very prOpitious,
and scarcely any part of the industry
reports other than most encouraging
prospects for at least six months to
come. Producers of agricultural i'm
plements, wire and nails also report
the situation and outlook as highly
satisfactory.
The general lumber business is like
wise reported much improved. and the
dealers are expecting much better
things i'm the near future. Receipts
in Chicago at present are barely suffi-
cient to meet the immediate require
mentS of the trade.

blown open. The treasure box was
picked up and it was found that dia-

N asserting that the loss was COM

$40, 900. but as the express officials are
the only persons who know the full
