We are extremely pleased with

the fact that under our handling Of
the moneys in the public treasury
we succeeded in the FIRST twelve
months ofour four years incumben-
cy in spending the entire one-half

cans and during the second twelve
months we were enabled to give
private citizens petitions as collec-

1t is with exceeding pleasure that
we call attention to the fact that
we have left a vacancy in the Unit

Nor do we point with less
pride to the fact that of the thir-
teen pledges we made the people

not one Of them has been redeemed

Big Crops in Oklahoma.

So far as this section is concerned, the fact that political campaign is in progress is having absolutely no detrimental effect upon business.
 Not only is this true, but, on the other hand, general business condi- tions are better in this section than they have been for number of years. The crops already matured in this State have been far beyond the aver age and the corn and cotton crops, which are now maturing and will be marketed within the next thirty days, surpass any previous record in this State, both for abundance and quality. Best of all, general, and we might say unanimous, feeling of confidence is thoroughly established. We have no doubt that the season upon which we are now entering will prove to be one of great, if not unequalled, busi- ness prosperity in this section.

Big Boom Coming.

We believe that, aside from the To- cal conditions such as unseemly Wea- ther or crop failures, the country IS in a condition to do unusually large business. From our own experience, we find that the merchants have been cleaning up their old stocks, buying only from hand to mouth, and are now ready, regardless of the political situation, to push for big retail busl- ness. Many of our customers, who have placed advance orders for later delivery, are writing to have the goods sent to them at once, and, it is With out question on our part that the next few months will see an unprecedent- ed boom, at least in the articles Tn which we manufacture, and, we De- lieye. in all other merchandise.

Absence of PessimiSm.

The general aspect of business con- ditions is extremely satisfactory. While the character of our special product is rarely affected, owing to it's staple nature, it is. very gratlfy- ing to note that the pessimism or dinarily prevalent during preslden- tial campaign is conspicuous by its absence. The realization that polltl- cal machinery is not responsible for the existing prosperous condition ol the country, but rather the splendlo crops and steady employment of ln- dustrial workers, is a great step to- words progress. We doubt whether any political party or agitation can disturb our economic equanimity.

No Doubt in Texas.
Cleveland o.

With reference to commercial con- ditions of our State during the present presidential year will say that there is practically no interest being taken in the matter as Texas is so largely one way.
 Aside from this, however, we are largely a producing country and poll tics have never cut very much figure especially in national way.
 We believe our people, as a whole have come to feel that the country will be prosperous under either ad- ministration. In other words, we are sufficiently large in our general de velopment, so that no one party would disturb our general relations.
 One slement possibly that has en- tered more largely into this condition than any other is the fact that there is less stock -iobbing, which always occupied a precarious position in leg islatiOn.

Workers Make Prosperity.

Politics has not proven the hind rance to stalle business that it usual ly succeeds in being. The presiden- tial situation is like three-ring cir GUS. The stellar performers and spec lal features escape the notice. Pink tights and no skirts fail to paralyze even to the exclusion of the pea nut vendor, who noisily demands rec ognition of the excellence of his wares Coupled with the buffoonery of harle- quins lambasting enc another " itll in- Hated bladders, the gaze will not rivet itself on any one ring.

Have Discounted Sitnaf,e:,.

We have had so much politics for the past few years that the business world has become more or less cal lous. We probably are of the opinion that our politicians are doine more talking than acting; then again, the difference between the parties at the present time is not so much one of principles as it is the way the gCV- ernment is to be conducted. In other words, the distinction today is made between the radical and the conser- vative. We have both in all parties. We are of the opinion that business men generally have discounted the political situation.
 The abundant crops this year will influence business very greatly, for all the wealth of the world comes out of the earth and the United States is certainly producing its> share of wealth this year-all of which gives confidence to business men generally.
 Another reason why business is good and will continue to be good, is the fact that for the past three or four years there has been a quiet liquidation. Stocks have been reduc- ed, building has been retarded, im- 2rovements have been checked, cor porations have squeezed out some of { the wind and water, bankers have been more conservative; the business mind in other words has changed. We have stopped, looked and listened, and there appears to be no danger we are going ahead.

\ Thing of the past

Judging from our experience this season the indications are that tho so-called business depression which formerly occurred in the presidential years is now thing of the past. The future business we regard as fair barometer on the general pros perity of the country, and as this fall season has been our best on rec ord, we consider th&a we are justified i'll ceaslng to think of the presidential year as factor controlling the mer- cantile trade conditions Of the coup- try.

We have had the heaviest sales III the history of our house last month, and we anticipate the same for the month of September. We admit to an extent this is due to our article being in fashion at the present time, but we also believe that the crops having been so good this year busl-' ness will increase and conditions will be very good-also that the presiden- tial election this year will not affect the general business of the country as it has done in the past.
