KNITTING IS
THEIR RULE
When a Democrat Seems lin
Favor He Is Stabbed.
CONDITIONS PROVE IT
Even Judge Maxey Has a Fight
at Home.

Guthrie, o. T.. May 1s.-The Demo
Gratis Of Oklahoma ought to be reminded

reviewing the slavery agitation just pre-
against itself cannot stand and stor
| their scrapping. The Democratic party
In this territory seems to be breaking
into fragments
When Matthews, of Greer county. be-
| gan to show strength as candidate fol-
the Democratic nominee for delegate 70
congress and many OF the ablest Dem
| ocrats Of the territory showed a dispo-
sition to hitch their car to his boom
the Democrats in his own county got UP
a fire in the rear and enlisted some of
| the surrounding counties in the fight
! against the Greer county man.
Then. when il was discovered that
| Cross, of Oklahoma City, was a second
choice of a good many counties, and that
he might make big showing in the con-
| vention, Oklahoma county began 10 throw
bricks at him. One of the regular vitri-
fed variety was to the effect that he
did not have the ability to make a cred
liable congressman, and they are now
threatening TO turn the Oklahoma county
delegation over to William r. Taylor.
It would of course, ruin Colonel Cross
prospects when once the people are made
to believe that he cannot carry his own
county.
Edgar Jones, of this city, was strong
enough to down all opposition in Logan
county, but this does not remove the
fact that q very strong element of the
party in this city are hurting his candi-
dacy by their constant talk that he has
no chance of securing the nomination.
and htat if nominated he could not be
elected. That is a very mean and ef-
fective way of disposing of a candidate.
Finally, the Democratic leaders who do
things became desperate and they turned
to Judge Maxey. Of Shawnee. With the
exception Of being Democrat, Maxey is
a nice man and the leaders concluded,
with the contribution he would be able
to make to the campaign fund. he would
make a winner. They got behind Judge
Maxey and the Maxey boom threatened
to sweep the territory. but all of sud
den up pops ]. r. Jacobs. who aspires
to be national committeeman, and COM
menced a fight on Maxey.
Maxey won out in the county conven-
ton, but he has bitter fight on his
hands in his own county. and Mr.. Jacobs
promises to carry his fight against Maxey
to the territorial Democratic convention.
The fight has become so bitter that the
Shawnee Quill accuses Maxey of being
a Cleveland Democrat. There are just
two things that will everlastingly Kill
man with the Democracy of Oklahoma
one is to be a negro, and the other is to
be Cleveland Democrat.
This was a terrible thing to charge
Judge Maxey with being a Cleveland
Democrat He served in the state of
Missouri as judge Of the district court
and was member of the constitutional
and it may be that his rep
utation will enable him to live down
the charge of being a Cleveland Demo

party seems to be breaking to pieces.
