judge from the tone Of it he thinks he
is progressive. Well we have had a
good many progressives, and a few
years ago about four out of five men
seeking Office claimed to be progress
siye republicans, some few progress
sive democrats. The result was split
in the republican party and the dems
got in power. Hiram johnson claims
he is progressive and California
was so progressive she went against
Hughes and elected Wilson. Wilson
was too proud to fight until after he
was elected and we all know the re-
suit. Thousands Of lives lost and
thousands Of dollars spent because he
was proud and did not prepare a year
or two sooner.
They say McCumber belongs to the
old gang and johnson to the new.
Both have been in the state lately
blowing their own horn. Don't think
either one came in the interest of the
farmer. It's about six of one and a
half dozen Of the other 80 far as the
farmer is concerned. McCumber, they
say, is hard worker, and some say
he does legislate for the farmer.
johnson has made himself conspic-
uous by working against the league
of nations.
VIM. Lemke claims to be progress
sive republican and was progressive
enough to turn the machinery Of the
North Dakota republicanS over to the
Nonpartisans and help Townley & Co.
beat the former, and the result is the
North Dakota farmer has the largest
tax to pay he ever had and if he gets
progressive in the same ratio the next
two years he will be fleeing when it
comes tax paying time. think. there
will be sand storm. But Townley,
Brinton, Bowen, Mills, Roylance, Wa
ters, Lotus and q host of others are
doing fine.
The farmer is working his 16 hours
a day and Wilson says he ought to be
willing to make the sacrifice. If John
son and McCumber would stay in the
senate and legislate against graft,
spectators, profteering and host Of
other things we would have more re-
spect for them, but when they run
all over the country for their own sell
fish interests we don't hurrah very
loud for them.
The greatest menace to this coun-
try today is unprincipled politicians,
spectators, radical socialism, profit
eering and strikes. If had my way
l would put the country on a strictly
non-party basis, cut all parties
Townleyism, socialism, republicans,
democrats and all parties and stop ali
campaigning. Have every man who
runs for Office come out and announce
his principles and platform and file
for the Office, and neither spend OF

people. It would save Thousands Of
dollars in taxes and expenses; va

AN UN CONFIRMED RUMOR
STATES THAT A SHORT
LIVED STRIKE WAS ON
WITH O. \. N. & P. ROAD

Possibly one of the shortest rail.
way strikes on record was pulled off
in Ardmore today when the train and
engine mep of the oklahoma, New
Mexico and Pacific Railway were al.
legged to have refused to take out
their afternoon runs until their de-
mands for increased pag should be
met.
Current rumor was 10 the effect
that inasmuch as the Ringing road,
as the O. n. NJ. 4 y. railway is
known, Is an intrastate and not an
Interstate common carrier, the oper-
ating company has not thus far ex.
pressed an inclination to raise the
freight and passenger rates, in &c.
cordance with the orders of the In
terstate Commerce Commission at the
same time declining, so it is alleged,
to increase the pay Of its train and
engine crews.
Things are said to have come to a
head this afternoon, when the train
and enginemen of the west.bound pas.
senger, due out of Ardmore at 2:30
this afternoon refused to turn Il
wheel until their demands. at least
in part. were complied with
1t is understood that the company's
representatives and the trainmen al
rived at an agreement shortly after
y o'clock and the train left on it's
trip to the Garter county oil fields.
a little behind schedule.
Called up over the telephone, tho
superintendent office Of the Ring
ling road declined to give information,
stating that no one there had heard
anything about strike" Further
information from the Same source,
was to the effect that the superintend
ent was not in the city.
