TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons Of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

perhaps more.
Ol.dom is shocked at this big strike IN
what was thought 20 lie tri.d cut lie. r.
tory. When the drill was five feet IN the
sand the OIL began TO flow, and in halt
an hour IL became gusner, throwing oil
to the bp of the derrick. a large guam
tity of the nuid was lost before the well
could be smut in. Even now the flow is b.
Ing Ietai ded purp SLY owing 10 lack OF
facilities TO handle the stun. When the
Two new pipe In s are completed the
well is expected 10 reach the 4,cOJ mark,
which would surpass The output of the
famous big Injun' wei which in III
made $500 barrels q day.
Mr.. Rapp is almost overcome AZ his
good fortune. He is fifty years old He mas
been an oil producer in a small way Tor
many years. Like most small operators,
he has had hard work making his produc-
ticn provide a living for himself and fam
ily. But he bids fair now TO become a
very wealthy man. for the WELL even II II
has touched only a pool, will be good for
many months to come.
Sharing in his good fortune is VIII am
Witherup, an aged farmer, and his wife
who own the farm on which the well is
located. Their one-eighth royalty now
amounts to S14 an hour.
The well viii not open any new field
for everything around the witherup fain
has been dii led. a peculiar fact IN coz.
nection with the strike is that the com.
bned production Of twelve other WeIi
on the farm is only two barrels day.
