HIGHEST IN HISTORY

Tuesday morning Of this week :,
l.. ID. PetrossS, owner of the 10
cal roller mills. announced that ne
was paying Sl.60 for wheat. and
81 for corn. the highest price
that had been paid in the history
of the gull, and by some il IS
prrdicted, that the high mark has
not yet been reached
This will bring directly home
to the farmers of this section the
era Of prosperity now sweeping
the United States. regardless OF
the fact that we are somewhat
distant from the industrial cen
tiers. the fact that our own local
mill is paying such high price
for the products of the farm
should convince the farmer that
the present prosperity is their
gain.

Seventy people gathered at

their candidacy. This was the
first Republican meeting held
here during the present cam
paign, and the light attendance
was the only draw back to the oe-
easion. as all the takers mad

spactiye lines. Of the seventy
present, five were ladies; fifteen
were Democrats, and SIX We're

All speeches made by the talk

plea for votes respective Of party
utilization, and to vote for the
best interests Of the affairs Of the

He said that in his campaign
over the county he had found
much dissatisfaction among the
taxpayers of the county over
the manner in which the sheriff S
office had been conducted: and
that he had found many voters
who were going to support HIM

he said that he thought he had
found enough dissatisfaction over
the county to elect him. provid-

he referred as neighbors. He
stated that if elected no set of

TILLMAN HERE
FRIDAY NIGHT
John N. Tillman
at the Majestic Theatre Friday
Night-Will Discuss National
and State Issues-Has Been
Greeted by Large Crowds Dur
ing Entire Campaign.

Congressman John y. Till
man speaks N Springddale at the
Majestic Theatre Friday night
Of his week at seven o clock.
This brief announcement should
be enough to completely fill the
theatre. Congressman Tillman
has been engaged in a strenuous
campaign throughout this dis
triet. also through kentucky and
oklahoma, IN the former state he
has made nine speeches, and in
the latter twelve.
He spoke IN Muskogee Satur-
day night Of last week and the
enthusiasm with which he was re-
ceved is best told ii the news
pap" reports from the city. The
Muskogee Phoenix, a Republican
neWspaper,. in speaking Of his
speech says
Congressman Tillman made a
pleasing speech, full Of aneedote,
wit and hrmor, and entertained
his audience for an hour and
half. One Of the most appreciat
ed parts Of his argument was his
ironical handling of Col. Fheo
dore Roosevelt. who lis now eat
ing salt cut Of the hand of
Boise Penrose and singing
:, Where You lead me | will
follow. "
One striking feature Of the
speech was the congressman $
statement about the Lusitania. He
refreshed the memories Of his au
Iditors with the advertisements the
Germans had published in Amer
lean and English newspapers a
few days before the ship was
torpedoed and said the Americans
who boarded her should have
taken the warnings and stayed
Off the vessel. While ordinarily
a man has a right to place him
self in jeopardy if he is fool
hardy enough to do it, the
Americans on the Lusitania had
no right to endanger their lives
when it might mean plunging
their country into war, and as
for himself he would not have
severed diplomatic relations or
gone to war with Germany about
them.
The Muskogee Times-Democrat,
a Democratic paper, says the fol
lowing of Congressman Tillman
= He is one of the biggest men
that has visited Muskogee IN this
campaign He is a bright, origi-
nal orator, unique political cam
paigner. He presents the achieve.
ments Of the Wilson administra-
/ ton in a most convincing way.
4 He eloquenIy reasons out the
necessity for Wilson 5 election
and tells why he will be re-elect-
ed His speeches are original,
unique and pleasing, and are en-
tirely different from the ordn
airy political talk. He is a highly
cultivated old-school soutilerner
and appeals nightly to the wo-
men whom he says should vote
for President Wilson because of
his p ace policies.

The people are eager for better high
ways, and the only question that CON
fronts us, in this relation, is how best
to build them. This involves large
problem of co-ordinating state and To-
cal forces and resources to the best
advantage for the attainment OF the
best results; and but little progress
can be made in this direction under
the prevailing constitutional restrlc-
tions which vest all authority over
roads, bridges and ferries in the coun-
ty board Of supervisors. Under such
a condition, it is not possible to formu-
late any coherent system or plan OF
road building, of general state or in
ter-county value. and benefit. and 1T
seems to me that this is most impor-
tant matter for our consideration.
Millions are being spent today by the
several counties in road building, each
county acting independently of its
neighbor, without reference to any in
-ter-county or state relation whatever
and with total disregard of the value
