lgret that the president feels that he
cannot accept another term, we wish
II were otherwise. AS this cannot be
we unhesitatingly endorse the candi
dacy Of our great secretary Of war
Honorable William Fl. Taft, of Ohio,
and we request our delegates. both to
the Shawnee convention and TO the.
state convention to do all in their pow
er to get an instructed delegation for
him
In this connection We endorse the
candidacy Of our friend, and neighbor
and fellow citizen, Senator Short. for
delegate to the national convention
and we instruct our delegates to do
all in their power to secure his selec-
tion. We commend him to the people
Of this district as a most excellent
citizen and republican who has al.
ways been in the front ranks OF the
fight, End who is a believer in the adj
yanced thought Of the republican party
as now organized.
We commend to the people Of this
county the present herd law Tor the
favorable consideration Of the people
OF Grady county, and we pledge the
republican party to support this law.
We believe this to be an agricultural
country, with small amount Of public
domain, all Of the lands having been
allotted and owned, and we believe this
law should not be interfered with. but
that we shall have q healthier agricul-
tural country by each man taking care
Of his own stock, thus letting the small
farmer farm his land with small ex
pense and thus making the soil more
productive for the entire community.
We trust and hope the republican
party will select leaders at the state
convention that will carefully obey the
instructions given them and will man
age the party SO as to represent the
majority Of the people of this state,
and that our leaders will not be led
into error, that to be selected as lead
ers of their party means that 1t shall
not be managed in the interest of such
leaders, or that such representatives
SO selected shall not consider the re-
publican party as their personal prop.

The democratic party is beginning to
show some signs Of life. The cause Of
this taking on Of action seems to be
the recent financial furry. which il |
with great solemnity declares to be
caused by the republican party. In the
same breath it commends the action Of
Theodore Roosevelt, claiming that he
has simply been the exemplification OF
democratic principles. We point with
pride to the fact that there never was
more unexampled prosperity. in which
the producer, farmer and laboring man
has received a greater wealth per capi.
ia than in our country from the day
Cleveland left the White House until
this good hour; that when our presi-
dent was attacking with all his energy
high crimes and misdemeanors the at
Tempt Of Wall street to create a panic
has met with dismal failure. With
corn selling at fifty cent per bushel
ma cotton selling at from eleven to
Twelve cents per pound, horses at
'l25.00 per head, mules at three or
our hundred dollars a team, wheat
{ sl.O0 per bushel. oats at fifty cents
ier bushel, and every other article
Produced by the farmer, the real bro
ucers OF wealth, at a good profit. that
this be panic then LEI the paule
and we especially call your
tention 70 a comparison Of these pric.
s with the prices during the real gen.
inc panics Of the only two democrat.
administrations during the last forty !

the laws Of our state. and with the
xtenaion Of the rural route service
lacing the daily mail in every farmers
Duse, the diffusion Of Intelligence is
'und to bring about continued repub
can victory and continued republican
'osperity.
