The Peoples Voice
VOLUME 11.
NORMAN OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, 14, 1902.
NUMBER T
THE 1902 ELECTION
IN
OKLAHOMA
THINGS
AND
Of Interest to Peoples Party
Men to be Learned
FROM THE SAME.
In the Future the Old Parties
Oklahoma Will be Forced to
Discuss Issues and Not
Expendiency.
The vote of the Socialist party in
this county shows a gain of 36 votes
over the vote of two years ago, what
the gain, if any. in the territory
will be we cannot say until the of-
ficial vote is given out. This year
was the first year the Prohibition
party had a candidate in the
field and the vote its candidate re-
ceived, promises to be about as large
as the vote received by the Socialist
candidate. It was a very bad year
in the territory for reform parties
to show up a large vote, for the
reason that the issues in the cam-
paign were of a local rather than of
a national character. The Peoples
party men early saw that such
would be the case and for this reas-
on decided not to put a Peoples
party candidate in the field trusting
that this election would forever
settle the question of fusion and
that in the future the men who
agreed on principle would also
agree on policy and should state-
hood be secured the Poeples party
would be able to make itself felt in
framing the state constitution and
electing the first legislature
state officials. In the latter cam-
paigns an opportunity would be
given for the Peoples party to push
I the ideas and demands of the Peo-
| pies party and the old party candi-
I dates, having no longer an adminis-
i tration at Washington to hide be-
J hind would be forced to meet the
reform forces in the open field and
fight a square toed battle and in
such a contest, in our opinion the
Peoples party forces in Oklahoma
need have no fears of the result.
This territory is not Republican
neither is it Democratic. The coun-
ties in this territory returning big
Democratic majorities this year were
swept by the Populist in 1894 and
the counties returning big Republi-
can majorities this year the Peoples
party tickets were elected or de-
feated by a close margin in 1894.
The men who were Peoples party
in men in Oklahoma in 1894 are Peo-
ples party men still, though they
may not have been voting with the
party in recent years but they are
ready to fall into line again as soon
as the opportunity arises to push the
reforms they believe in an^ with
them will come many thousand of new
recruits who have been converted
to Populistic ideas by the campaigns
of 1896 and 1900 and who now will
never consent to be dragged back
into the Hill, Gorman, Cleveland
camp of democracy. It makes no dif-
ference what Mr. Bryan does, the
men who followed him loyally in
1896 and again in 1900 will never con-
sent to be drifted, by any one,
towards the Cleveland camp of the
Democratic party. Bryan's influence
would be gone, should he attempt
such a thing. In the campaign of
1904 Bryan and his followers, for the
greater part, will be in the reform
army: if they remain true to their
convictions.
Fined $10.00 Each.
Last Monday the trial of the young
men who chased i*. M Vaderslice
and Mr. Gooding off of the highway
west of Norman last month was held
before Judge Botsford Will Foster
and Hugh Williams plead guilty and
on the recommendations of County
Attorney Wolf their fines were
fixed at $10.00 and cost. Several of
and i the other Chicksaw boys who were in
the crowd and arrested plead not
guilty and their trial set for next
Monday.
Their Client Gone.
Andy Hutchin and J. B. Dudley,
who were appointed by Judge Irwin
to look after the defense of Sam
Morley, charged with the murder of
old man Hartman, would like to con-
sult with their client in order to earn
their fees. They hardly think that
their client needs the services of a
lawyer at the present time but they
very much regret that he perfected
his defense without their assistance.
McCall
HAS IT FOR
LESS.
A Wild Engine.
Last Saturday night at the round
house at Purcell one of the work
hands got up into a switch engine cab
to move the engine a few feet and
pulling the throttle wide open the
engine started off with such a lurch
that the fellow jumped out of the
cab and the engine left the round
house at the speed of 58 miles an
hour. Near the depot in Purcell it
ran over a negro cutting his leg off
and came tearing along the track
north going dead about 14 miles south
of Norman.
Sam Morley Escapes.
Sam Morley, charged with the
murder of old man Hartman south of
Noble, and who has been in the Cleve-
land county jail for some time escap-
ed from Sheriff Smith at the Choctaw
depot in EIReno Thursday night of
last week. Morley was indicted for
murder by the grand jury and secur-
ed a change of- venue to Canadian
county at the last term or the dis-
trict court and his trial was to have
come up this month in the district
court of Canadian county. Sheriff
Smith received orders to take the
prisoner to the Canadian county jail
and last Thursday morning he pro-
ceeded to do so. In taking him out of
the jail here he had trouble, Morley (
knocking Deputy Sheriff Brannon j Bevredge of
down. The prisoner was
and taken to the train
Smith left with him for El Reno As
the Sheriff and prisoner stepped off
the train at the Choctaw depot in
El Reno the prisoner whirled around
striking the sheriff over the head with
his hand-cutfs and before the sheriff
could recover from the blow the pris-
oner had made good his escape in the
darkness.
j 'I he people in this county are very
t indignant and charge Sheriff Smith
with not exercising sufficient precau-
tion in taking so bad a man to jail in
El Reno. They think he should haye
taken a deputy along with him on
the trip, especially after prisoner
displayed so desperate a character
when being taken out of jail at this
place.
Senators to Visit Oklahoma.
Next Monday a sub committee of
the Senate committee on territories
will leaye St. Louis for Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona to inves-
tigate the territories named and to
report on the advisability of the
passage of the Statehood bill pend-
| ing in the U. S. Senate. Senators
Indiana, Burnham of
hand-cuffed I ^ew Hampshire, Dillingham of
and Sheriff Vermont, Nelson of Minnesota, Heit-
feldt of Idaho and Rate of Tennessee
are the members of this subcommit-
tee and they will be in Oklahoma
next week and may possibly visit
Norman.
L. P. Barker the recently elected
sheriff of the county was in Norman
last Monday and getting much advice
as to who he should appoint as jailor
and deputies and who he should not
appoint. Mr. Barker knows the
people of this county perhaps, as well
as any man in it, and what the wish-
es are of the men who elected him,
and we feel confident that when his
appointments are made that they
will give general satisfaction to Mr.
Barker's friends and supporters.
