vinita Man Has Best
Horses at Missouri
State Fair

The Chieftain this morning receiy-
ed the following telegram:
State Fair Grounds. Sedalia, Mo-,
October 4, l0:30 am,
l. b. Crouch wins herd ring at
state fair for saddle horses over all
competitors. Vinita is it,
A. l.. Churchill.
Mr.. Crouch as everyone knows, is
proprietor of the Meadow Brook stock
farm east of town, where he has bred
and raised some of the finest horses
in the southwest. That his saddle
horses were able to wrest the first
place from the best horses of Missouri
shows their quality. Mr.. Crouch
came here from Kentucky, but even
the old Blue Grass state has not been
able to raise better horses than those
on his farm here at Vinita.

MURDERER
Brought to the Federal Jail
Here Last Night From
Near SaIIisaW.

Fon West, a negro charged with
murder, was brought to the federal
jail here last night by Deputy Sol
Sizemore Of Sallsaw The crime
for which West is wanted was COM
mitted near Fort Smith in the Chero-
kee nation in May, and the negro has
been scouting since then. A few days
ago ne went to Fort Smith, where he
was recognized and locked up.
West and three other negroes we're
in crap game at the time Of the
killing. West and another one Of the
negroes exchanged charges Of cheating
as a result of which West killed the
other man. A peculiar feature is
that West does not know the name
of the man he killed. The dead man
was a newcomer, whom West had
never seen before, and whom none Of
the negroes of the vicinity knew, save
by a nickname.

A careful reading of the circular which
mas recently been sent out to the voters
In iowa for the purpose of discrediting
the republican governor of Iowa will d.s-
close Its utter dishonesty. The false re-
port or his speech as printed in the DEM
ocrauc organ of 1891 is quoted, and the
statement Is made that ''he was at this
time candidate himself for the legis-
lature as an independent" when as a
matter OF fact he was not then a can
dldate for the legislature. The circular
undertakes to give further history by
asserting that when Cumming was a
member or the legislature there were but
three party questions before the repub-
hcan legislative caucus, that he stood
with the party upon one question, that he
opposed the party on prohibition, and "the
other was redistricting measure framed
with view to the reelection OF Sena-
tor Allison to the United States senate,
against which democratic bill was Of
fered tending with fully equal discrim-
nation to the election to the senate of
Governor Boies. Mr.. Cummins voted for
and threw all Of his great Influence for
the latter bill, and in doing so, utterly
forgot his pledge to the caucus that he
would stand with the republican party
on all party measures not connected with
prohibition"
This is a sample Of the so-called facts
presented In this disreputable circular
Its character may be better understood
when one recalls the fact that when Cum
Minis was in the legislature he voted for
the reelection of James F. Wilson to the
senate, and the political fortunes of Sen
ator Allison were not in any way con-
cerned; and when one further fact is re-
called that at that time Horace Boies
was private citizen of Waterloo known
In politics only as a Blaine republican.
He was not then Governor Boies, nor
had his name ever been mentioned in
connection with the governorship; hence,
1t is not true that a democratic bill was
offered having for it's purpose the cleo
ton to the senate Of Governor Boies, and
Mr.. Cummins did not therefore support
any such bill.
An effort Is made to show that Gov
ernor Cummins was a democrat by pre-
senting what purports to be copy OF an
official democratic ticket for 1887. AS
matter of fact. Mr.. Cummins name was
upon the republican citket but at that
time there was no law to prevent the
placing of his name upon one and all
tickets, nor for that matter to prevent
the placing of the names Of any candi-
dates upon all tickets. It was then, as
every one remembers, the custom to
have many kinds of tickets furnished.
Mr.. Cummins did not run for the legis-
lature as a democrat, and was not elect
ed as a democrat.
Mr. Cummins made the race for SEN
ator in 1900 and was beaten only by
narrow majority in the republican eau
Gus He was elected governor in 1901 by
$4,000 majority and renominaated at a
republican state convention in 1903 unan-
imously and elected by $1,000 majority.

HEPBURN TO REPUBLICANS
ON VOTING THE TICKET
Distinguished Congressman Urges
Election of cummins and Entire
Republican Ticket.

Congressman w. p. Hepburn: And now.
fellow citizens, / want to say a word
about our candidates. Our ticket, state
and county, is a good one. Even with
our state ticket. where there is some
criticism of the head of the ticket be-
cause of his real or supposed views upon
the tariff, yet no one questions the man
ner in which our distinguished governor
has administered his office, and you who
are familiar with his utterances and have
read his speeches realize his adhesion and
devotion to the great underlying princi-
pies of the republican party. Over and
over again he has declared himself a
protectionist-to the full extent protec-
ZIONIST If he differs with any members
of his party it is upon those matters of
secondary Importance, the schedules of
a tariff bill. He thinks that changed
conditions since the enactment of the
Dingley law have forced a necessity for
changes in some of the schedules, and
that the time to make them Is now. There
are but few republicans who do not agree
with him that some changes in the sched-
ules would make the law better, and
that the time will come and that speed
lily, perhaps, when those changes will be
made. 1t Is simply a question of time
and details 1t is true that the republic

Wise Legislation.

In describing the wise and benefcient
legislation for which the republican party
has been responsible during the last fifty
years. Senator Beveridge enumerated the
abolition of slavery, the reconstruction,
the homestead acts, the resumption Of
specie payments, the establishment of an
Industrial system, the creation of home
market, the creation of a greater foreign
trade than that Of Great Britain-some
OF the marvellous things done through the
republican party.
"And during this period of glorious
achievement what law did the democrat
&c party writer asked the speaker. mot
one! Yes. one-the Wilson-G German tariff
law. that historic statute Of disaster"
Relative to foreign affairs he said:
The republican party as the agent of
the American people have managed their
foreign affairs as well as their domestic
affairs, better than ever before In our
history.

enemies Of the protective principle. All
the tariff changes that are necessary will
be made by the republican party earlier
them. And republican changes will be
beneflcient. Opposition changes would be
ruinous. We republicans believe in two
great modes of public conduct-fidelity to
ideals and the application of common
sense. And II Is merely common sense
OF the situation to meet the conditions as
they arise and not to wait until accumu-
lating conditions unmet break down the
dam and sweep all before 1t in q general
and disastrous change.

A REPUBLICAN POLICY.

CONGRESSMAN G. N. Haugen: Tariff
laws are made to meet existing condi-
tons. Hence republicans believe that
where a tariff is no longer needed for
protection or revenue 1t should be re-
adjusted. The republican party has in
the mast revised tariff laws. 1t will re-
wise the present one whenever conditions
demand; whenever II becomes certain
that such revision is advisable, practical,
for the best interests OF this country.

Governor Cummins:
Let US see how the Des Mofnes
Union Railway company has Jared at
the hands of the executive council
during the last five years. First, It
Has four mics of main track, and, un-
der the law, 1t is main track only that
can be assessed. In 1901, the assess
ment of the Des Moines Union Rail-
way company was sl85,000. In 1906
it is 100000 The assessed value is
one-fourth of the amount which Ii de-
termined upon as its actual value:
therefore the actual value of the four
miles of Des Moines Union railway
track, with the accompanying side
tracks, is s1.200.000. He asks II the
property be not worth more than dou-
BILE $225,o0o. l reply that the execu-
tive council has found II to be worth
