CANNON ANO THE MET4oolsrs

AIethodists all over the state are
Indignant over the treatment that rep
resentatiyes OF their church received
last winter from Joseph @ Cannon,
the czar Of the lower house. Almost
every day some good Methodist 10
heard to declare that although a re-
publican. he wouldn't hesitate to vote
against Cannon we're he resident Of
Cannon's congressional district
There are two ways for Methodists
to aid ia eliminating Speaker Cannon.
One is to lend their voice and vote
toward his defeat for reelection to
congress. and the other is TO lend
their voice and vote for the defeat OF
any ather candidate for congress whe
is not known to be against the re-
election Of Cannon as speaker OF the
house
Nor is it proper 70 assume that tho
ahrOnt offered the representatives. Of
the Methodist church arose from any
dislike for that denomination alone on
the part OF the speaker He sneered
at these men and insultcd hcm. not
because they were Mcthodists. but be.
cause they were Christians, and We're
there asking him for legislation that
would aid IN supprcssing immortality.
In Oklahoma vote for Horny 8.
Johnston in the first district ElmeR
=. Fulton in the second district. Jas.
S. Davenport in the third district,
Charles D. Carter in the fourth dis
trict and Scott Ferris in the fifth dis
trict. means a vote against Cannon
for speaker OF tho house
On the other hand, vote for Bird
Mcclure IN tho first district means a
vote for Joe Cannon for speaker. A
vote for Dick r. Morgan in the second
district means 3 vote for Joe Cannon
for speaker A vote for c e CreageY
in the third district means . vote for
| Joe Cannon for speaker a vote for
TB. r. fackett in the fourth district
means vote for Joe Cannoa for
speaker.
II the Methodists OF Oklahoma who
resent the treatment of the bishops OF
their church by the Car from Dan
vile, are sincere in their hope that
ne may never again be speaker, they
will aid in making It impossible by
voting for democratic candidates for
congress. A republican congressman

STRONG FOR
STATE AGENCY

y. :. Malone. president of the Alex.
ander Drug Co, OF Oklahoma City, the
largest wholesale drug concern in the
state, came out this morning with q
statement declaring in favor OF the
adoption Of the state agencies. lie
gives the following reasons:
Although | am not in sympathy
with the prohibition movement,
heartily endorse the state agency sys-
TEN Of dispensing liquors under the
present administration for the follow
ing reasons
First. A large majority Of the peo-
pie Of this state voted for constitu-
tional prohibition. thus making it a
constitutional law
Second. The state dispensary system
is the most liberal construction Of this
law that could possibly have been en-
acted.
Third The state dispensary Law pro
yides fully for the distribution Of
liquors for ali legitimate purposes such
as medicinal. scientific and mechanical
uses.
Fourth Under the present arrange
ment a legitimate pharmacist or man
ufacturer can secure his supply Of al.
cohol or other liquors al as low price
and as conveniently as formerly. the
only difference being the requirement
Of bond to the effect that he will not
violate the law
Fifth. : most heartily commend the
liberal policy adopted by SuperintenG-
ent Lozier in meeting every legitimate
demand promptly
~. II
port the present system as ii is the
only method by which he can secure
a supply OF alcohol or liquor legally
for legitimate uses within the state,
and in the event the present dispen-
sary system is voted out, absolute con
stituuonal prohibition will prevail and
this would mean that every iointist, in
order to legtimatize his business. as
far as the public is concerned, would
open up drug store

SOME FAcTs.

There are a few facts the voter
should not forget Men now very act
i've candidates for place are not often
more than ten years before the pun
lie. The issues and policies are for
the ages. and the devotion To the is
sues should be more steadfast than
for men. Had the Democrats Of the
United States stood loyal to their
cause in 1876 we would not now be
tryinF to dieiodge predatory wealth
and alleviate the sufferings Of the un-
employed millions OF the East.
The money question split the party
like in 1860 when imperial Douglas
fell before scythes OF prejudice. Ami
how weak all were! There was no
change in the money policies when
Mckinley took charge and the Alarich
bill was the first change OF impor-
tance since 1888.
Seldom does Il pay a man 10 vote
against that policy OF government
which he believes right, and the re-
turning hosts 10 Democratic camps
show conclusively that al are getting
around to that same notion.
Let us present 2 Democratic party
that Is Democratic from principle, as
we haze done here in Oklahoma, and
because we are right and deserve sue
cess, Il will come and abide with us.

PLAN ALPINE CANAL
WATERWAY TO ASCEND NOUN
TAlNs BY SYSTEM OF LOCKS.
Latter Transformed Into Long Chain
of Tubes Through Which sarges
Are Elevated-When Descend
ing Boats Glide Rapidly.

BeTlin.-It is a common belief that
water Will not run uphill. That this
principle is not quite true, or only
conditionalIy true, is proved by The
fact that an eminent Italian canal
engineer, Sig Pietro Caminada, has
worked out the plan of a canal over
the Alps
The Alps are not to be bored by a
tunnel. The canal is to be carried up
to the summit and down the other
side. This sounds at first incredible,
but the science of waterway construc-
tton has made such progress that
canal engineers fear no problems. This
was proved by the speech made in
Berlin a few days ago by Prince Lud-
wig of Bavaria, who is one of the
most enthusiastic partisans of Sig.
Caminada's scheme
Sig Caminada has just been re-
ceived by the king of Italy and has
placed a model of his canal. which will
go from Genoa to Zurich, on view in
the rooms of the Academic del Lincei,
the most important scientific and
technical society in Italy.
The fashion in which Sig. Caminada
will cross the higher SUBMITS of the
Alps is no longer quite new. He
makes use of locks lying one above
the other such as have already been
constructed at the Trollhatta falls,
and combines them with double locks,
such as are to be seen on the TeltOn
canal at Klein Machow
Original and decidedly novel is the
extension of these locks to a long
chain, which mount up the face of the
Alps. and which are built to fit all the
incidence of the upward ascent. For
this reason Sig. Caminada transforms
them into tubes. In the interior of
this tube is d large number of sep
