A IG. STEWART STILL
FEELING OPTOMISTiC

A few weeks ago A. G. Stewart
created a mild sensation by getting
out and leasing a large block of aere-
age. He was paying good money for
leases and playing the game strong
A lot of folks thought he was crazy,
but they have all changed their
minds.
To Democrat reporter this morn
ing Mr.. Stewart expressed the opin-
ion that conditions were most fav-
orable. 81 have a lot of good stuff, "
said Mr.. Stewart, "but l am not
anxious to sell. l will turn loose Of
a little of it if l can get enough for
it, but l have not yet come to the
point where l am ready TO back up
This is about the sentiment eX-
pressed by the oil men this morning.
The starting Of the drill in the Sc
ward County Oil & Gas company

Seward County Oil & Gas
Co. Is Now In Operation
After SHUTDOWN, During which lim M rI0p''
a. ton Was Thoroughly Financed WORK
Je AUain Started
Is Again Started

The test being drilled by the Seward County vi ana uaS
napv eight and onehaf miles north OF Liberal was again
started Wednesday and every effort Will be made 10 Sink inc
G Mahoney and associates started blocking the acreage
IN 1o15 and the first operations started August 1915
which start was necessary by the fact that the leases
would soon become due From that time until today the work
has continued
There has been many shudowns and delays which could
not be avoided the officers of the company have never
ceased their efforts to sink the test
One load of rig imbes unoaded then another then
THE derrick built and finally the machinery secured
The well spudded in just in time to save the leases
held bv the company but could not be gotten to keep
the drill going steadily.
The work was seriously handicapped owing to the fact
that the stock was slow sale People here lacked the enhus
asm of those the head of the organization and always there
was the financial problem to be solved
Then the rumor spread that well would be brought IN
west of town. Everyone wanted socbu there was no stock
for sale group bankers and business had bought all
the stock the company would SELL the books closed and stock
taken off the market
The very that the stock could not be bought caused
demand while the of producer in the Traders test
heightened the desire for shares.
One ten was first bid then dollars then three but no
once cared sell Finally five offered with no success
and we have heard several dollar offers being refused
Now that the drills again started the company financed
sufficiently to finish the hole the stock will likely go to ten OF
fifteen to one but ii doubtful if anyone would sell at those
figures.
Regardless Of the of the Traders test this well
will be drilled promised and the geological and other con-
dons are really better for producer than in the west field

PRIMARY ELECTION NEXT
WEEK WILL BE INTERESTING
Both Parties Have Several Contests
and Heavy Vote Will be
Cast in Kansas

Next Tuesday is Primary Election
day in Kansas and that there will be
a heavy vote polled is conceded by
political leaders of both parties.
Both parties have contests for the
office Of Governor, the Republicans
having two candidates; the Demo-
Gratis four.
On the Democratic ticket will be
the names of o. T. Wood of Liberal
Jonathan M. Davis of Bronson; w. S.
Hyatt of Parsons and Dempster o.
Potts of Wichita.
The Republicans have as their can
didaes Henry j, Allen of Wichita and
Geo. P. Snow of Oakland.
Seward and adjoining counties will
vote for o. T. Wood for governor,
Wood has lived in this section for so
many years that everyone knows him,
and there will be but few votes for
the other candidates in this part of
the state, although there are some
good men against him.
As to the race between Allen and
Snow we are not well informed. A
straw vote shows Snow has unusual
strength, and while it is hardly likely,
there is a possibility of his winning
the nomination.
In local politics there is no interest
as there are no real contests.
