SENATOR FORAKER, Of Ohio, has
been talking vigorously Of late. In
a speech before an assembly of
negro methodist bishops. he used
language implying that he stood
ready to bolt the Republican party
in case Taft or Roosevelt were
nominated for the presidency.
Speaking of Taft delegates from
the south, he said. "They do not
belong to my party, and | will not
belong to theirs" He also spoke
of the possibility of new PARTIES
On the 18th inst. Senator For
aker made a speech in the Senate
on the Brownsville affair, in the
course of " hich he severely criti-
cised President Roosevelt and de-
Tended the negro soldiers whom
the president drummed out of the
army in disgrace without trial,
1t was great speech, and it's ef-
feet on the negro vote in the states
of the North and Middle West
may be to defeat the Republican
national ticket.
These recent utterances of For
aker show that the breach between
himself and the Roosevelt faction
is liable to be permanent, and that
he may be expected to lead
movement at the polls against any
man whom the Roosevelt faction
may force upon the Republican
party. In such case Foraker
would have among his followers,
not only most of the negroes, but
many of the old Union soldiers
and a large class of reactionaries.
In other words, he would have
with him the brains and the back
bone of the old Republican party,
and the fight between the old and
the new Republicans would be
beautiful and interesting.

The Oil Situation.

The prospect of this being the
greatest oil field ever developed be-
comes better every day. The we'll
drilled in few days ago north of
here is the largest yet struck. 1t
filled ninety barrel tank in less
that ten hours. This production
continual at same rate for one
month will sell for over sixteen
thousand dollars at the well at
present price of oil. And oil is
advancing about five cts per bar
rel each month, and has been for
some time. This advance ia due
to the failure in supply in Indiana,
w. Va. and Pa. fields.
There are now six string of tools
going down along the north line of
Marion TIP. The we'll on Schueltzer
farm is being cased this week. 1t
will be drilled in early next week.
The we'll on McCullock farm is
down 1900 TT. Drilling is pro.
crossing nicely on the Stemen farm.
The Crosseville Co. have had some
bad lu,k but expect to strike the
pay the coming week. The
Kokhensparyer well is being cased
and will be in by Tuesday next.
The owners of this we'll expect
something good in this we'll when
completed they have gone down
over 5000 IT. The Flagdale Go.
have located their No. 2 we'll on
the Blosser farm formerly the
Phoebe Shaw farm in Marion Up.
The rag is going up this week.
This we'll is less than six miles
from Logan. The rig is going up |
on the Geo. Campfeld farm. This
we'll is also but short distance
,orth Of Marion Tp, line. The

Mr.. FORAKER at present is en-
j0ying the certain knowledge that
his elimination from Ohio politics
will proceed from the Democratic
party, II at all, and not from the
Taft-Cox combination at present
exercising q temporary sway, with
the aid of Mr.. Roosevelt's ap-
pointees to office. 1t is asserted
with every Indication of truth
that he has at his disposal now
oysrtures from the Taft opponents,
who have been vociferating about
his corporate entanglements, to
abate his fight against the Taft
Cox alliance and succeed himself
Ia the Senate. He sees also the
triumph of his contest for simple
justies in the Brownsville matter.

Crochet Run Oil Co. are getting
out timber for a rig. This well
will probably be nearer Logan
than any yet located. They hold
the leases on several farms adjoin-
ing the VIM. lies farm on which
an oil we'll was struck some ten
years ago. Their first well will
probably be drilled on one Of these
farms. BY the way our old friend
Noah Blosser tells us the oil In
this old we'll has crept around the
plug that was placed in the bot
tom when the we'll was drilled and
has risen within four feet of the
top of the we'll, in other words
there is now 26OO # of oil stand
ing In this old we'll. Woods we'll
No. at Gibisonville will be in
the coming week.
1t may be that the press ure of
the gas being removed through
the great number of gas wells
drilled in the gas field west of us
the oil has been allowed to raise
to higher level of the clinton
sand. If this be the proper theory
oil will be found over every part
of the territory stretching from
the northern part of Knox Co. to
Bloomingyille in Hooking County,
and laying just east of the gas
bet.
The Standard Oil Co. have &C.
cured land of David Hendricks,
near Bremen, and will put up a
large pumping station. Their
pipe line is completed to Bremen,
and the probabilities are that it
will be extended to Logan.
The Hooking Gas and OIL Co.,
who have 0OO0 acres of land leased
south Of Logan have located
well on the Henry Hansel farm,
and are getting out their rigging.

WATTERSON
FOR BRYAN.

In lengthy letter to his paper,
the Louisville Courier-Journal,
Henry Waterson, the brilliant
journalist declares he will earnest
ly support William j. Bryan for
the presidency, adding that in his
opinion the eloquent Nebraskan
will be elected. The press of
New York City came in for a
stinging criticism in the follow
ing:
81 confess that 1 am in sym
pathy with Bryan in refusing to
be ruled off the track by a group
of New York newspapers, Whose
motives are, to say the least of
them, suspicious-which will sup
port no ticket except one framed
by themselves, and which do not
agree with one another touching
the ticket to be named"
In assigning reasons for sup
porting Bryan the big Kentucyian
says:
"But among Democrats who
know why they are Democrats
there ought to be other and
higher considerations; some arrest
of the breakneck speed on the
highway toward the Capitalization
of power; some real and not spur
ions purpose toward tariff re-.
form; some sure separation of
the politics of the country from
its partnership with high finance
and high financiers; some break
ing up groups and rings, Of wheels
inside of wheels, always involved
by change Of parties, even when
made only f1r the sake of a
change.
"My paper is Democrat, not a
Republican and, standing by the
sincerity of it's record, it will sup.
port the ticket to be headed by
Mr.. Bryan as actively and az
earnestly as if it represented its
original preference and opinion.

courteous employees, who pointed
out the machines and equipments
of most interest to the visitors.
In the evening hundreds of per-
sons visited the shops, and it was
grand sight to see the big shops
lighted up with the brilliant cleo
tricity. When we consider that
one building contains more lights
than all the city of Logan, it can
be imagined without being present,
how perfectly the plant and the
yards are lighted. The officials
were very courteous, in showing
the people around and through the
buildings and the machinery.
On Saturday some of the Com

inspected the works. The follow
