The writer would suggest that wrong doers -cut out their raw work; and, if they have a stand in with the proper officials and escape prosecution, that the ofnV cials get busy and do their duty. There bas been a great deal done in Winfield and Arkansas City that in a larger city would certainly have been published, -and will be in the future here, if the parties interested manifest by their -conduct a desire for such publication.

The Republican County Central Com mittee pulled off one of the rawest stunts in the annals of politics. It was all right; (with the insurgents) when -Jackson county showed us bow, but when the circumstances changed and the other fellows tried it, then, it be- came a monstrosity. The editor of the Dispatch has often said that the insurgents were either insincere or ignorant. Recent developments point to the accuracy of this assertion. Insincerity, however, is the most prominent and glaring.

The breaking up of the insurgent faction in Cowley county is due to the Dispatch more than anything else. Its editorials holding that either stand pat Republicanism or Socialism was the only consistent positions, and that there was nothing in the propositions advanced by the insurgents and democrats, were logical and to the point. True the Dispatch aimed at promoting socialism; but in so doing, it placed the Stand Pat Republicans under lasting obligation to it. What the stand pat editors never could have accomplished in Cowley county, the -Dispatch accomplished with little or no effort The new Socialist councilman of Win-field is beginning to make his presence felt. He has been going over things in ward, and also familiarizing himself with the system of affairs in the City Clerk's office.

He is not officious but is preparing himself to give hisconstit- uents the best possible service. The Winfield Secialjst Local still continues to publish their paper, the Leader. The one comment we hear on the street is, "Why didn't they put up a little money, and add a Winfield pige to the Dispatch?" Glad to learn that Dexter has revived her band. Dexter has the material for -a band all right. Tell Dr.

Cooper that he is rightabout what the Republican party can do when it gets its hand in. But in regard to Roosevelt the Doctor is certainly The Socialists predict the election of a congressmen in the third district this jearj If that fyent, cjcson ipSW the Winfield postoffice.
