appointment is merely because there
were no appointments he could Sc
cure.
Yes, the Republican party is the
minority party in Oklahoma!
And is 1t any wonder?
We should have carried this state
this year We would have cut the
Democratic majority in half at least,
had We had management and organi-
zation. Now that statement may seem
absurd hv some. But let's look at the
past.
MajOritics Decreased.
The first statehood election went ap-
proxmately thirty thousand Demo-
cratic. Above is explained where
many of the votes came from. In that
election 1T is estimated $1,000 negroes
voted, which just about offset the
votes of the disgruntled Republicans
who wanted statehood at any price.
The next election Bryan carried the
state by less than fourteen thousand
with no negroes voting. Cruce was
elected governor by less than twelve
thousand. and two years thereafter the
Republicans showed more gains; and
Williams, the present governor beat
Fields less than five thousand, with
4,500 Progressive votes.
Then what was the matter with the
1915 election?
Why did the state go practically
fifty thousand Democratic. in the face
of fact that the $1,000 negroes were
restored the right of franchise?
Counting the negro vote and the
increased Democrat majority In two
years the Democrats gained almost
ninety thousand votes in the state, or
the Republican party lost them, as you
like 1t.
Outside of the First congressional
district there was no effort whatever
made to elect members of the leSisla-
ture. In this district, where the Re-
puhlicans were organized among

$50, 900 year before statehood. he
served out the uneXpired term of
Hunter. and had himself appointed TO
IN Indian inspectorship at $500 a
year and left the state forever. turn-
ing the reins of party government
over to his assistant chairman
James A. Harris, for the reason. ds
Norris stated. Jim has always been
II large contributor to the campaign
fund, and could always get next TO
the hanlIroll Of Judge Raymond.
Record Well Known.
The history of Jim Harris is we'll
known. lie used the office of chair
nanship to have himself elected state
committeeman, and allowed his enemy
Dennis I. FLYNN to put in the present
chairman. Arthur II. Geissler. with
whom he has since split.
The record of the secretaries is just
about the same. Without taking up
space to enumeratc them, all have re-
ceivei appointments of some kind and
then lost All interest in the welfaro
Of the party.
Arthur Gelssler can he summed UP
in a very few words. The job of CHAIR
marship is too big for him. He has
not in past campaigns, did not in the
last campaign, and could not in fu-
turc campaigns. rise to the import
nnce of the office. He has never been
able to grasp the situation. He has
conducted a sissYfied campaign, and
instead of working for the party has
used MS entire efforts to make a
czardom out of the chairmanship,
with himself weak'ing on the throne.
rho Republican party could have run

last campaign than 1t could with hirh

April she would have been rs years
of age. The funeral services were
held yesterday from the Tuttle home
In West Athens, Rev. T. B. HIATT of
Bingham officiating and the remains
were placed in the receiving tomb at
Athens.
Mrs. Tuttle was the WIDOW of the
late Silas Tuttle, who died in 1906 and
was the daughter of Anthony and
Sarah (Lair) DeCoster. Her birth
place was Washington, Lincoln Coun-
ty and her marriage to Mr.. Tuttle oc-
CURED in 1871. Soon after her mar
riage the couple moved to Brighten,
where they resided for several years,
afterwards moving to Athens or Eel
lows Mills as it was then called. The
deceased was the mother of six chill
dren One son Wilbur served his
country in the war of the Rebellion
and is no longer living; neither are
three of her daughters, Phylena, who
married Zachariah Corson, Almira
Jane and Emily F. The fourth re-
naming daughter is Mrs. Susan L..
Devol and she with tie son Fred Tut
tie have cared for their aged parent
In her declining years. Mrs. Tuttle
preserved her mental faculties to a
wonderful degree and has been a
most interesting companion to those
about her even in these last days of
her life on earth. She was probably
the oldest woman in Athens and was
highly respected by the residents of
that community.

Appropriation by Con-

1t is Evident that the Long Ago Dream

Realized

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 20

Skowhegan public building. This will
become law shortly.
ed. but none the less pleasant, sur
prise. December 7th, it was an
nounced that $4,000 had been asked
for by the Secretary of the Treasury
to be available July 1st, for the
Skowhegan Postoflice work. What
led to the increased appropriation, or
just what its sigifincance may be as to
date the work will actually begin, is
not known here 1t is fair to pre-
sumo, however, that plans for earlier
and more rapid construction, than at
first proposed have been formed.
1t will be recalled that the govern
ment has already paid $4,000 for the
lot and that $4,000 in addition to the
$4,000 now to become available, was
appropriated for the building. 1t is
evident that the long ago dream of q
handsome government structure foI
the Skowhegan Postoflice. is about tc
be speedily realized.

vious fire losses, this one being esti-
mated at $4,000.
