ing Of every democratic ONCE holder
from the highest to the lowest In the
state He will by comparison show
that republican government In old Ok
lahoma was a government Of graft
and greed, as at least two instances,
yet fresh in the minds of the people,
prove. These are the mix-up at the
Norman state insane asylum and the
Capitol National bank failure.
The democratic administration OF
state affairs will, and probably should
be- a campaign issue. The personal
affairs of no member Of the demo-
cratic party can be made a political
issue.
The cry OF fraud IN the primary cleo
tlon Is one that can not be attributed
TO either party as the ones most guilty
in Oklahoma county, where a recount
Is being held, have been republicans.
The Daily Oklahoman. strong
|Cruce supporter and democratic paper
leads the fight against these frauds
with money and the free use OF It's
columns to convict those guilty Of
crimes against the elective franchise.
The so-ealled Gore investigation
will assist John Il. Williams In the
conduct of the democratic state cam.
paIgn by showing the corruption Of
the republicans in the conduct Of In
dian affairs, past and present.
That the republicans are up In the
air Is shown by Vice President Sher-
mans talk at Enid He stole Hon
Lee Cruces sunshine and prosperity
slogan on his arrival at that place,
when he preixed his opening remarks
by saying: Il have come into your
new and great state to preach republl-
can sunshine and prosperity when
In fact, he should have shown IL to be
the direct result of democratic rule
In the state that we have sunshine
and prosperity.
Mr.. Williams has Just returned from
a vacation spent In Colorado, having
arrived In Oklahoma City yesterday
Mr.. Cruee viii return within few
days. Their coming signals the ap-
proaeh Of political activity throughout
tie state, and soon the air win be
fnll Of politics, as the dope Is MIXED
which will turn out magnificent ma
iorlty for democracy on November

THE NEXT CONGRESS

The exact balance OF party rep
resentation in the next Congress-
to assemble thirteen months hence
unless the President calls spec
ial session after March 4 and prior
to December 4, 1911,-is not yet
certain, but the appropriations are
doubtless close. It is estimated
that the Democrats will gain at
least eigh. seats in the Senate
and have majority OF 90 in he
House. The fact is 20 be consid-
cred, however, tina. radical Dem
ocrats in the House are in closer
sympathy with the progressive
Republicans than with the reac-
tionary members OF their own par
ty, and on the other hand progress
sive Republicans are in closer
sympathy with radical Democrats
than with Republican standpatters.
What effect this will have upon
party lines in the House no one
can guess, for it will depend upon
the character OF issues that arise
and the intensity OF feeling they
generate. II some question that
cuts across party lines were to
arise in the House, the radical
Democrats and the progressive re-
publicans might be thrown togeth-
er in an alliance against the re-
dictionaries OF both parties; and if
this were to occur, party ralign-
ments would not be likely to stop
with members Of Congress. 1t is
out OF such situations that NEW
parties spring into politics.-The

SOUTHERN GRAIN AT i:
THE BIG EXPOSITION
AgIlCulturlSts Alive to Its Great
Opportunities. ,

Cincinnati, o. Especially South

portunities which the Ohio Valley
exposition, to be held in, THIS CIV

holding out to them. From aiY a.
lions of Dixieland come reports Of
county fairs and other industrial ppor
ijects at which are shown AleY hroX
ucts of various sections OF thesdiffer
ent states, and I'M every sinstanfd
there is decided desire on the part
of the management of these enter
prises to secure specimens of grains
and other agricultural products TO I'D
submitted to the Committea,f on
Southern Resources of the Ohio Val
ley Exposition, having in charge the
assembling of exhibits for the big
Southern display. Only a few DAVIS
ago there were exhibited at tho
Statewide Immigration Conventioh at
Jackson, Miss, some extraordinary
samples of wheat and other grains
grown in Covington county.s TnssSs
and other sections of the state how
devoted largely to the cultivatfon,-of
grain. These samples came ia the
shape Of threshod grain and also in
the way Of grain in the sheaf. giving
an idea of the general growth of agri-
cultural products. Immediately after
the convention these samples were
submitted to the Southern Resources
Committee which will have hundreds
of these specimens from which to
select the classiest samples for the
Ohio Valley Exposition.
Yazoo county, Miss. is another
section of that state which has been
sending extraordinary example of
grain crops to the various state con.
ventions.
Meanwhile Ohio Valley farmers
are slow to see the advantages of
exhibiting their crops at the Exposi.
ton. fact which will give additional
prominence to the Southern exhibit
