Sapulpa, Okla, Sept. 15-Coneressman
jim Davenport arrived in Sapulpa yes
terday for a conference at his headquar-
ters here with his campaign manager,
Mr.. Gordon and an informal meeting with
several of the congressional committee
men. Plans we're made for various fea-
lures Of the campaign, and arrangements
made for calling the congressional COM
mitteemen Of the Third District together
sometime this week.
Congressman Davenport has the last
three weeks been making a series Of
speeches through the northern part of the
district with few trips south. Every
where he has met with large and enthusi-
astic crowds who gave him every assur-
ance that they would stand by him.
His last speech before coming to Sa-
pulpa was near Southwest City where he
spoke to more than four thousand listen
ers The occasion was great Blue and
Gray reunion, and from the way in which
Honest jim" was greeted by the big
crowd he has steadily gained in popular
ity in that section Of the district.

man Davenport, "WeIl think not If

Congressman Davenport win speak the

not be given on account of the delay of
Mr. Creager's MANAGERS to accept or re-
ject Mr.Davenport's proposals for joint
debates, which Mr.. Creager was clamor-
ing for so noisily few weeks ago. Con-
gressman Jim wants one, at least, and if
possible two joint debates in each county
Creager will not come to any agreement
and since he failed to meet Mr.. Daven-
port at Wan, Sept 4th, has been evading
all attempts to get dates for the Joint de-

will require generous expenditures Of
money for enlareing and increasing your
company's facilities, but Of equal, if not
more importance is the necessity Of in
vesting large sums in such Improvements
as will make possible material reduction
in operating expenses. The remarkable
growth and prosperity of your property in
the past has been due chiefly to its inde-
pendence of control by other railway sys-
TENS, its exceptional location in fertile
and swiftly developing region, and the
measures taken to occupy its territory and
to provide timely facilities foT handling
its business. It's future solvency and pros
perity depend not only upon these leading
factors but also upon the ability of your
company to furnish a superior service at
minimum cost. This will require the
outlay, in various directions, ofmany mil
lions Of dollars. much of which it would
be unwise, if not improper, to capitalize,
and it follows, therefore, that the surplus
revenues of the company must be devoted
to this purpose This policy is vital to
the weIl-being of the property, and doubt
less will commend itself to the sharehold-
ers, who are, of course, the ultimate
beneficiaries.

The annval report TO the stockholders OF
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railroad for
the year 1908 is out and on the whole is
quite optimistic. After recounting how
the courts deprived the company Of valu-
able lands in what was formerly the In
dian Territory. the report as submitted by
President Joline continues:
"On November is. 1907, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory was admitted into the
Union as the state of Oklahoma, the total
population of the new state, as reported
by the Census Bureau. being l,4l4,O42.
During the year the United States govern
ment removed all restrictions from the
sale of approximately 100000 acres Of
the most fertile Indian lands in Oklahoma
Much Of this acreage is contiguous to your
companys lines, and your property will
benefit greatly through settlement OF the
lands by progressive immigrants who will

your company's industrial department
has been very active in promoting the
establishment of new industries along
the system. and. although somewhat
hampered in'its efforts by the prevailing
monetary troubles, has met with gratity-

ment has also accomplished satisfactory
results in the development Of the fruit and

IN sections where formerly nothing was

Present indications point to large vol

There are signs of a revival of activity in

agricultural conditions along your system
are at this time excellent Crop special
lists predict that the cotton crop in Texas
will be one of the largest in the history Of
the state. while Oklahoma is expected to
produce an average crop Of that staple in

whole, the prospects for next seasons

In concluding this report your MANAGE

NORMAL PLURALITY CUT TO
LESS THAN 10000.
REPUBLICANS ON DEFENSIVE
Democratic Argument Based Upon
ReSubmission Of Prohibition
Law and Taxation Of
Wild Land.

Portland, Me-. Sept. 15--Ahhough the.
republicans came off victorious in the
state election yesterday. Bert M. Fernald,
of Poland being chosen governor over
Obedia Gardner, Of Rock Island, the demo-
Gratis had the satisfaction of seeing the
normal republican plurality cut 10 less
than ten thousand votes for the first time
in a presidential year for more than a
quarter Of century.
All four republican candidates for con-
gress were elected. Late returns for gov
ernor from all cities and 400 towns and
plantations out Of 499. gave Fernald,
(republican) 68.300: Gardner (demo-
craft 61.6l6. Same places in 1904 gave
Cobb (republican) 70,S82; Davis (demo-
craft 46.712. This shows a republican
loss of four per cent and democratic gain
of 32 per cent On this basis the repub-
lican plurality is estimated at about g.
600.
The republicans were on the defensive
throughout the campaign, seeking 70 hold
the state by the usual plurality by ans
wering various democratic arguments
which were mainly for resuhmission Of
the prohibitory law the taxation Of wild
lands and a reform in administrative
methods.
But little was said of the national
issues.
