aroused by the attempt to conceal from
the neighbors the fact of the child s
birth. They would not permit visitors
to enter. made positive denials and in

later they said they would not have the
child and had sent il to Kansas City.
Last week the neighbors took steps look

day the county attorney visited the place.

IN COMANCHE COUNTY.
Recent Rains Have Helped that Sec

Waurika. o. t, April 19.-The Waurika
News sums up the crop prospects in CO.
manche county as follows:
THE present crop outlook is very prom
Using.
The recent rains have started the
wheat and oats to growing nicely. It is
estimated by conservative farmers that
wheat will make a first class crop. pro-
vding We get another rain within three
or four weeks from now. There is a
large acreage of oats which bids fair to
make a large yield. The ground is in
fine condition. and there will be a large
acreage of cotton planted this season. The
corn is up and growing nicely
Taking all the conditions into consid-
GRAFTON the prospects are very hattering
for the farmer, and what is to the best
interests of the farmer is also to the best
interests Of the merchant"

light and when the farmer awoke the
next morning his chickens were gone.
This same trick was tried in Round Grove
township but the farmer became suspi-
cious, chained his bulldog to the box con-
tanning the chickens and about o'clock
in the morning was awakened by the furi-
Gus barking of his dog. His chickens
Were all there next morning but the buy
ers never came back for them.
The officers claim they have all the
evidence necessary to convict Plaisted.
and if this is true there will probably be
more profit in raising chickens in Kay
county, for a while at least.
Plaisted has been making his home at
Newkirk. from which point he and the
preacher have been working the country.

CRIMES FOR
CHAIRMAN
Republicans Are Already Talk
ing Campaign Methods
DEMOCRATIC PLANS LAID
Schemes of the Opposition
Would Come to Naught.

| Guthrie. o. T., April 19.-Already the
Republicans are showing great interest in
the coming congressional election. There
is feeling that never in the history of
Oklahoma has the election Of Republi-
can to congress been more demanded than
at this time.
| When the leading Republicans over tho
territory come to Guthrie they talk poll
tics, and while they generally admit
that We are going to have an interesting
campaign they invariably claim that Nc
Guire will be elected if the Republicans
make as good fight as they are capable
of making.
Nobody seems to know as yet whom
Bird S. Mcclure will select for chairman
of the Republican central committee but
it is fact that many of the wisest lead
ers of the party are suggesting William
Grimes for that position. The reasons
given for this selection will make interest
ing reading at this stage of the cam
paign whether anything comes of it or
not
The leaders who are quietly suggesting
Republicans on the north side of the ter
ritory are lined up ready for the battle
and that they will make a red hot fight
for their candidate. These men claim
that the Democrats are trying TO make a
breach between the friends Of Dennis
Flynn and Bird Mcguire and that it is
their intention TO nominate some man on
the south side. like Matthews of Greer
county or Hoffman of Lincoln county,
and make their big fight on the south
side
Now Grimes is from Kingfisher county
and the men who are suggesting him for
chairman claim that he could line up
the Republicans on the south side and
make the best fight they have ever made
since the organization of the territory.
AS yet none of the men who are max
ing this talk have gone to Mr.. Grimes
with their suggestions. They naturally
feel a delicacy in matter of that kind
when Mr. McGuires choice has not been
made known
1t is generally beloved that the Repub-
lican party is determined to form one
state of Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory. and that it is especially desirable
to have Republican delegate in congress
until that is accomplished. II is conceded
that Mr. Mcguire will be the last dele
gate the territory of oklahoma will send
to congress and that after his term Ok
lahoma, will elect her congressman by
districts, and for that reason Republicans
in other than Mr.. McGuire's district can
not feel any jealousy towards him. He |
could not hurt them, and he might be |
able to do them good deal of good
These men who are quietly suggesting /
Mr.. Grimes for chairman of the central /
committee claim that his selection would /
be practical politics and would insure the |
election Of Mr.. Mcguire beyond any
doubt, for the hope of the Democrats to I
gain advantage by division of the Re
publican forces would be forever BAN
ished.
