S. M. RUTHERFORD
Of MuskOgee Is Making an
Interesting Race for the
U. S. SentOrship

Hon. s. Nj. Rutherford, candidate
for the United States senate for this
side Of the state, appears to be easily
leading his opponent and his election
even now seems very probable. The
people of Indian Territory fully real
ize that with the most Of their vast
resources vested in the Indians, they
need men in congress who are not
only capable, persevering, and fami-
lar with the conditions, but men who
are known to be incurruptable and
whose honor has never been impugn-
ed. Rutherford is lawyer Of the
highest ability and has made mark
ed success In his profession He Is
known in every section Of the terri
tory and wherever he Is known his
rugged honesty has endeared him to
the great mass OF the people, He has
never lobbied or grated, and this fact
coupled with thy SPLENDID ability
makes him an ideal man for the high
Office TO which he aspires. The senti-
ment expressed in the following edi-
torial from the Sunday Ledger, OF
Muskogee, where both Mr.. Ruther-
ford and his opponent, Colonel Owen,
reside, are those OF the people and the
press generally throughout Indian
Territory:
The only candidate from Muskogee
who has any show VIII ever to win is
Rutherford for U. 81 ytor
Mr.. Owen is brillas~ aan, but he
has been SO long In the politics Of In
dian Territory and been so mixed up
with the different settlements be-
tween the tribes, that lie is not fitted
TO repres ent the new state Of Okla
homa as cne Of the y. s. senators.
On the other hand, S. M. Ruther-
ford has remained at home and con-
tended for the rights Of the people
and the better enforcement OF the

GOVERNOR FRANTz.
Fears to Face the Future
Said to be Opposed to the
Constitution

Guthrie, o. T., April 16-Governor
Frank Frantz in his effort to retain
his official job is becoming desperate.
The present chief executive Of the
territory of Oklahoma is flooding the
country with personal appeals to Re-
publican leaders for the support Of his
candidacy, which he but recently de-
cided to announce, after many stern
refusals to allow his name to be men,
toned.
Gov. Frantz is using up official sta
tionery by the wholesale in an effort
to save his official scalp.
The present governor of Oklahoma
is opposed to the ratification Of the
constitution, although he has not
openly SO announced. BY inuendo he
will try to block the adoption of the
organic law, and he is being backed up
by Henry e. ASP, Frank II. Greer and
other G. o. p. politicians who have
great cause to fear statehood.
Frantz has consulted the oracle and
has been told that there is no way in
which to stop the tide that has set in
in favor of the constitution.
1t is declared by those in position
to know, that Frantz hopes to get con-
troll Of the convention, and that at the
proper time he and his friends will
oppose the placing in the field Of Re-
publican candidates for state and
county offices and that he will openly
declare against the ratification Of the
constitution.
Frantz is backed by the railroads,
whom he>has benefited, and railroad
men are strong in their assertion that
the constitution will be defeated. A
large ''slush" fund is said to have been
raised by the railroads and other cor
porations to oppose statehood.
AS chairman of the territorial equal
ization board, Governor Frantz assessed
the Oklahoma railroads $3,2O0 to S4,-
600 per mile, when the same roads
turned their valuations into the inter
state commerce commission at from
$35, 900 to $40, 600 mile.
The West exposure has seriously
crippled the chances of Gov. Frantz
for election, if his name were presented
to the people. He prefers to remain
as governor Of the territory Of Okla

Cotton for the biggest crop in his

A Checotah man, Dow Sears, caught
752 pounds Of fish last Tuesday and

place. The largest fish in the catch
weighed 81 pounds.
Some farmers that have settled near
Chickasha, who are natives of Cuba,
say that the soil in the Chickasaw ma
tion is an ideal place to raise tobacco
as good as can be found in Cuba.
The Clarion at Arapaho tells of
rural citizen, Frank Wier, who brought
''few eggs" into town the other day,
using a wagon because the load was
little heavy for the buggy. He had
three hundred dozen. The hens must
have been eating those green bugs.
Cows in McAlester are to be scrub

In the State Legislatures.

This is likely to be a year of
unusually important Legislative
work in the majority of states. At
the first session of the present
congress laws were passed that re-
late to interstate commerce, but
each state within it's own bound
aries must second them or leave
the questions open as state issues.
Under the new national law i'm
pure or adulterated food may not
be shipped out OF a state, and no
railroad pass is legal in interstate
traffic. But a state must handle
these matters for itself except in
interstate relations. Railroad reg
ulation is a large subject in each
separate state, and will have a
prominent place in the new gen
eral assemblies about to meet.
1t would pay the people of Mis-
souri,, and of every state, to follow
closely the reports of their legis-
latures. They have often neglected
to do so in the past, and greatly to
their disadvantage. Much crook
edness has been perpetrated by
legislative rings and Hobbies, es-
pecially when public attention
was turned some other way. Per-
haps the record of proceedings
may seem dry at times, but behind
it are purposes and influence that
deeply affect the welfare of a
state. Within the next few
months much legislative history
of a novel kind will be made. The
people should scrutinize it care
fully and grasp it's objects in good
time to make their approval or
protests felt.-Globe-D Democrat

Let us profit by the errors of the

prove ourselves equal to every

the highest ambition one can have

The New Year.

The old year is gone. 1906 with
its pleasures is a thing of the past
and the New Year with it's usual
greeting and good cheer has
dawned upon us. What a forcible
reminder of the flight of time.
One by one the years have passed
along, n upon another they
stand untouched before us. We
have all no doubt lost %opportuni-
ties for usefulness, and have
missed many hours of joy and
gladness by procrastinating and

should make that the most good
might be accomplished each one

undersigned having purchased the
TRIBUNE printing plant, together
with the subscription list and good
will, from Mr.. r. ri. Bailey. All

to the undersigned.
1t is the intention OF the pub
Usher to conduct the paper in flu
ture pretty much along the same
line as has marked its success in
the past. The paper will continue
Republican in politics but will al
ways be open TO the expression of
truth without the faint of partisan
bias. We will give the party a
square deal, and hereby invite the
hearty cooperation OF the Repub-
licans OF Montgomery county to
make this a strong party paper.
Montgomery City has never had
what might be called a boom, but
its growth has been a good, steady
one, and it is located in the he art of
o. good an agricultural section as
can be found anywhere in the
state of Missouri. There is no
reason therefore, SO Jar as we can
see, why there shouldn't be a good

given to making rash promises,
we feel that there is a good future
for US in Montgomery City. We
will join in with the citizens and
business men in advertising the
merits of the city both as a good
place to live and a good place to
trade. Soliciting a liberal share

Quite a pleasant surprise awaited
the officials of the Treasury De-
partment when it came to casting
up accounts this week for the re-
ceipts covering the first half of the
fiscal year. There has been an
immense bulge, both in customs
and the internal revenue receipts,
amounting Ito 1922, 0OO, 900 for the
first six months of the calandar
year. This is the more surprising
as there was dire prophecy last
year of an absolute deficit and
that lent much weight to the talk
of the necessity for tariff revision
and possibly for introducing new
taxes. If the present rate of in
crease in the customs receipts
keeps up the record will be broken
for any preceding year by about
SD, 000, 900. This is joyous news,
not onty to the stand-pat element
which welcolns any excuse for not
revising the tariff but to the even
larger elements, including the
stand-patters who scent revolu-
ton and the dislocation of all So
cial order in the Presidents sug-
gestion for the imposition of an
inheritance and income tax.
