HUGHES SULKS
IN TENT?

Washington, July 2S.-Why has
Governor Charles Evans Hughes, the
New York executive been unrepre-
sented in the harmony conferences be-
tween Judge Taft and the late lamen-
ted allies" at Hot Springs.
That's what politicians Of the first
magnitude are asking in Washington
today. Is the governor grouchy over
something or don't the Taftites want
him to play in their back yard?
The smoke of battle had hardly
cleared away before Speaker Cannon
was smoking his cigar under Judge
Taft's vine and fig tree and expressing
his humble desire to serve Buckeye
Bill in whatsoever capacity he might
will Senator Beveridge, Senator Hem
enway and Representative Watson
blocked the door in their eagerness to
get into Judge Taft's room first to
tell him how loyal the Fairbanks men
would be to the Ohio nominee. Be
ing the loudest tall1er Senator Beve-
ridge got Judge Taft's ear first.
Rep. Burk, Of Pennsylvania, hot
footed it across the country from Sen
ator Knox's country home to tell th'
new Big Chief how much the sena
tor loved his conquerer. He had hard
ly got to Hot Springs before Rep
Cooper of Wisconsin came in to pledg
the vote of the LaFollette crowd O
Ohio strutted around as the represer
tative Of Senator Foraker to displa

But where was he who bore the in
sigma of G overnor Hughes? Not ii
Hot Springs. And Judge Taft has seei
no one of the stripe since he wa
nominated The politicians are wor

Responding TO the above appeal Of
William J. Bryan. the Express today
announces that is It ready to receive
dollar donations for the democratic
campaign fund.
OF course if any one feels disposed
to give more than a dollar, It will be
entirely acceptable. There is nothing
in the election law to prevent one
from giving s100 if he wants to.
Donations win not be limited to the
city of Chckasha but will be accepted
from all parts OF the earth from
Cape Horn to the great wall of China
and back again. Every democrat Of
Grady county is especially invited to
contribute his mite to the fund that Is
needed to insure democratic victory
It is conceded that the republicans
will have almost unlimited funds at
! their disposal this year-the trusts
and milionaires will dig It up. Dem
ocraey must rely for its sinews Of
war upon the free win offerings Of the
plain people
A strict account Of every dollar vii
be kept with the names Of the donors
and all will be forwarded to the prop
en- custodians.
Grady county, the stronghold Of de
mocracy must do her part. Let ever!

DOLLAR DONATIONS


4 wish every democratic
newspaper would commence the
collection of a fund from its
own subscribers. There are very
few democrats who could not af-
ford TO make a small subscrip-
lion. and the people will never
be able to control the govern
ment until they take upon them
selves tne burden OF supplying
campaign funds AS long as a
few men furnish the money to
finance a compaign those men
will exert and undue influence
upon -e government.
= seems that we have reach.
ed the end OF corporate contribu-
tlons, and that is a step in ad-
vance, but the individuals who
control these favor-seeking cor
porations may still dominate poll
tics by furnishing the sinews OF
war. The democratic party has
struck at this system by limit
ing contributions to $4,000 and
providing for publicity before
election. The Republican party
has SO far refused to join with
US on this proposition, but public
sentiment may yet compel II to
do so. have no doubt that the
democratic party will receive
contributions from more indiyid-
uals than ever contributed TO
any campaign. and there is no
reason why the entire amount
should not be contributed By the
masses,
eIf every democratic paper
will take the matter up and lend
a helping hand we will soon
have money enough in the treas
ury to provide for legitimate
campaign work, and that is all
we want. William J. Bryan.

QUEEN OF THE WASHITA
(By cad AlIard)

The world and all mankind is look
ing toward Chickasha and the Indian
Territory portion of Oklahoma just
now because Of the opening Of the
way by purchase to the most fertile
lands OF earth through Uncle Sans
removal Of restrictions.
On the 27th. day OF July the bars
will be thrown down and the hungry
hordes OF eager buyers win begin to
swarm to this part of Oklahoma like
flies around a lasses bunghole. 1t is
good thing for US that these lands
will not be thrown upon the market
in heap for we wouldn't know what
TO do with the crowds that would pre-
cipitate upon us The run for the
strip" wouldn't be a circumstance
Hence, praise we the powers that be,
the lands will be doled out by peace
meal-Indian fashion.

less, the property Of the Indians and
they are at liberty to trade for money,

Ten million acres. That's some
earth, and don't you forget 1t. We'd
like to see the color of the Fellows

nabuluos ertence upon the tympanum
of the ear takes in the enormity OF
the proposition. Really the thought
when deeply rooted is one calculated
to take ones breath. There is enough
land in that body to make a strip one
half mile wide that would reach ar
ound the world and then leave enough
of terra frma to make a two mile

the hundred, and fiftieth jubilee OF the
First Dragons
According TO papers submitted by
Schmidt, he was born In the town OF
Schaulen. Sept. s. l772. OF German emil
grant parents who had joined the
Orthodox church. He entered upon
military service Aug. 6. 1896. His mill
tary papers show that two years later,
in July. he crossed the Alps under the
command OF Field Marshal Suworoff.
During the war carried into Russia by
the Emperor Napoleon Schmidt earned
the Cross OF st. George for exceptional
bravery.
During the Persian campaign OF
1927 he captured a Turkish standard

In 1881 he was one OF the first To
