REQUIsITIoN is ISSUED.

Governor Crawford has granted
reqnisition on the governor Of Mon
tana FOR Margaret Bowman. Accord
ing to the Black Hills papers, which
have discussed the case, it appears
that Mrs. Bowman secured divorce
and that in the decree nothing was
said in regard to the custody of the
little daughter. The father kept pos
session of the child, and short time
ago the mother appeared and took The
child away with her. The father
charged child stealing, and asked for
reqnlsltlon with which to go to
Montana and secure possession Of the
woman and child to prosecute the
charge which he has brought.

BLANKET SIZE BALLOT
All Petition Candidates To Be Given
Separate Columns.

When the petitions were presented
to the secretary Of state for the good
government nominees to fill the
democratic ticket which they had ne
elected at the primaries, and for tho
scales OF Justice" or Hearst nomi-
nees, each came to the office on a
group petition as a. ticket. Attor-
ney General Clark was called upon
for an opinion as to this, and held
that while each should be looked upon
as an independent candidate he did
not think it necessary for each indi-
yidual candidate to present petition
for himself, but that all could come
in as a collective petition under one
motto AS independent candidates.
The question was then raised as Co
the question of giving these lists a
position in column to itself with
circle over the head of suck ticket,
On this proposition the attorney gem
eral held that the law provides that
all independent candidates names
shall be placed in column to them
selves, and not treated as a ticket, =
and that the only way to get a ticket
upon the ballot is through the pro-
visions of the primary. This holding
means that the names presented by
the democrats as good government
and by the Hearst party as scales Of
justice" must go upon the ballot in a
single column, each with the motto
over the name, and that the voter
who desires to vote for any of these
candidates must do so by placing
cross at the left of the particular
name he desires to cast his vote for.

REAL BATTLE is ON.

Washington Post: Twenty eight
days remain OF the campaign.-a very
brief period in which to accomplish
great feat in winning presidential
election, but plenty of time in which
to lose the fight through blunders, ex-
posures, or mis- magsment 1t be-
heoyes the party managers to use eau
tlon as we'll as energy in these last days.
Neither party has sucn q lead as
to justify it in relaxing vigilance or
effort.
The American people are not only
tickle in political matters, but at times
they are emotional Any serious mis-
take on either side might upset all its
work and throw the election to it's ad-
versary. A single foolish speech, vio-
lent declaration, the production of a
few more billet doux might work des-
tructon. A single phrase cost Blaine
the presidency. Another phrase might
work similar havoc in this close con-
test.
The skirmishing has been done in
this campaign. The positions of the
opposing forces have been defined
The rickets have been driven in, and
the armies are face to face From
this time on only the big guns should
take part in the fight. The weaklings
the raw recruits, and the small bores
should be sent to the rear to make
room for the long toms and the veter-
ans. II is battle from now on-a
battle royal between alert commanders
and stubborn brigades.
Let us hear from the big guns. Let
the toughened veterans 60 to the front
flight it out hand to hand! The people
are tired of the pretty side alarums and
RABBIT skirmishes They want The real
fighters to the front 80 that the battle
will be fought to finish and the best
man wins his victory in the open.

FOR COUNTY DIVISION
Some Strong Reasons Advanced for The
Division of Butte County.

The advocates of division of Butte
county are setting forth their parti-
cnlar reasons why the county should
be divided, and among them one is
that the size Of the county discour-
ages matrimony. That when a mar
rage license is required by any of the
northern part of the county, they are
compelled to go to Belle Fourche.
over one hundred miles away. at an
expense OF time and money which
would equal $780, and very few 90.
Another OF their strong arguments is
The heavy expense OF court officials
and witnesses in the way of mileage,
when some of them must travel fully
$50 miles to reach the county seat.
That this additional expense would
alone pay the running expenses Of a
new and smaller county. Yet another
proposition is that the school condi-
tions are such that even if a county
superintendent cared to look after
local school matters it would be i'm
possible to get over the ground within
the time which the weather and length
OF the school year would permit. That
while there has been a heavy settle
ment in the northern part of the coun-
ty the past years some of the school
districts are yet larger than eastern
counties. Cave Hills district cover
ing a72 square miles, and Seim dis
trlct 1872 square miles. That with such
conditions it is impossible to arrange
for the education of the children of
settlers.
We are at last working round to
some conception of what the land is
or ought to be in the scheme of ma
tional well-being. We are at last be-
ginning to see that there is hardly
any great social question, however
urban it may seem at first, that is not
ultimately to be traced back to this
problem or that of the open country.

SEND IN DOLLARS
FOR DEMOCRACY

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 500 if he wants to.
Donations win not be limited to the
city Of Chickasha but viii be accepted
from an 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
ocracy must rely for it's sinews Of
war upon the free win offerings OF the
plain people.
A strict account of every dollar will
be kept with the names of the donors,
and all win be forwarded to the prop
er custodians.
Grady county, the stronghold of de-
mocraey must do her part. Let every
loyal democrat respond to the call.

q wish every democratic
newspaper would commence tie
collection Of a fund from its
own subscribers. There are very
few democrats who could not af-
ford to make a small subscrip-

es he end of corporate contribu-
iuUns, and that is a step in adj
vance, but the individuals who
control these favor-seeking cor

tics by furnishing the sinews Of

struck at this system by limit
ing contributions to $4,000 and
providing for publicity before

has so far refused to join with
us on this proposition, but public
sentiment may yet compel It to
do so. have no doubt that the

we want. William J. Bryan.

station to wish the voyagers god
speed. In the throng that pressed

from every commercial body of the

station contained an immense con-

ton no less enthusiastic than the one
accorded the party upon it's arrival.

mel W. F. fuckers side of the matri-
monial discord which has been ex-
plotted so much in the press of the
country was told for the first time by
his attorney, Leo J. Doyle.
Mr.. Doyle charged that the activity
of Mrs. Tucker in the courts was due
to a desire to force her husband to
give her money or it's equivalent. He
said that he spoke for publication
with sincere regret, but that since so
many and such wry accounts of the
matrimonial differences of the Tuck
ers had been published he felt called
upon to bold a brief for the other
side.
Ho affirmed fatty that the suits
against Colonel Tucker in the munic-
ipal court were not dismissed by Mrs
fuckers attorney because Of any
scruples against prosecuting sick
man, but that, on the contrary, the
action was prompted by unwillingness
to face certain revelations He said
further that during the time that the
colonel's duties had kept him in Chi
cago Mrs. Tucker had continued to
live in Washington and that, there
fore, the charge of desertion, which
she is setting up, is absurd on it's
face.

Bryan was greeted by immense, cheer
ing crowds. Previous to entering the
state he spoke at Wilmington, DEL,
and West Philadelphia. At the latter
place he referred to the fact that he
was in fine physical condition and
that his voice was holding out better
than those of the Republican speakers
because he was not putting any
ragged arguments through his throat.
Following the Delaware river into
Northern New Jersey the Democratic
candidate got much amusement out of
President Roosevelt's letter on the
labor question by telling the people
that the president has :'butted into the
campaign again" and deposed Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers as head of the
American Federation of Labor and
substituted for him Senator Knox Of
Pennsylvania.
At Frenchtown he talked to farm
er audience and, discussing the trust
question, said that in view of the
claims Of the Republican: party for the
prosperity of the farmer he expected
they would NOW have trust on the
sun and meter on the clouds, with
charge of so much for each shower"

Coffeyville, Kan, Oct. 24.-The
, flood situation in Southern Kansas is
not improved. North of Coffeyville
the Verdigris river continues to rise
and lacks only foot of the high mark
of 1890, which was the highest known
for twenty-five years. Many persons
have been compelled to leave their
homes in the north, east and south
eastern parts of Coffeyville, where the
land is low Forest park is covered
with two feet of water.
All the way from Neodeslka and In
dependence south to Coffeyville the
Verdigris has spread out until it cov-
ers thousands of acres Of farm lands,
doing vast damage to corn in the
fields.
The Missouri Pacific was the only
railroad that was able to bring a train
into Coffeyville. The Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas tracks northeast of this
city and the Santa Fe tracks between
here and Liberty are both so deep
under water that no trains can get
through.
