I. T.
Hon. J. D. Benedict is the
most popular man in the new
state for Governor. ' We can
elect him hy a splendid ma-
jority. There is not an aspi-
rant in Oklahoma Territory
or Indian Territory in our par-
ty who can make the race and
unite the party except Prof.
Benedict.
Please lr. SJix Shooter Gang
dont scare any more of our
force to resign. Wo will he as
good ia we can. But we still
want tq see the resignations of
Sopor and Victor sent in.
You cant stop the Cimeter
until you can get the old man
to swear he does not write and
is not responsible for the mat-
ters written therein and that
will be after the regions of Plu
to haye been congealed and
present the appearance of ice.
Murruy the Chairman of the
Gonfatitntional Convention is
the Tillman of the Indian Terri-
tory and on every occasion he
flaunts insults in the face of the
iegro. Is there any ISegro so
low that he can vote lor the
supporters of the Demagogue.
The hell with the law yells of
Tilliman the blatant demagouge
of the U. $. Senate. And yut
this same cuss was" invited by
sqmo SQ:called Christian Or-
ganization to visit MusUogeo
and' deliver a harangue.
A Man that stands for right
a nil justice will receive many
scars but when the battle is
over victorv will be his.
When white men speak out
in praiso of their race thy are
applauded and called patriots.;
but when a black man speaks
in defense of his he is called a
the level of others and then the
white man gives him a few $3
and the title GOOD "NIGER."
Let the Negro respect Ills
wife and children and see to it
that others do the same.
A man that loves his race can
not hold peace while they are
being abused and maltreated.
What do you think of a set
of- black men that will try to
injure the standing of one
their race in order to gain fa-
vor with a white man You
know he is a traitor If we dis-
agree let our differences be
from a stand point of principles
and not prejudice let our dis-
agreeing be among ourselves
that's the white man's way ex-
actly and he does not give a
snap of his finger for a tatling
"nigger."
demagouge.
Tillman Vardaman and
Dixon are doing the race no
more injury than tho white
man's "pimp" who is anxious
to make a dishonest dollar by
saying mean things about his
race of course tho "pimp" al-
ways placos his people bplow
To the Public-This is to
certify that my connection
with the Cimeter as assistant
Editor was more honorary than
actual. Some two years ago
or more I was City Collectr for
the Cimeter 1 then wrote some
articles for publication and so-
licted subscription also. 1 have
never written any editoral for
for the paper nor am I in any
way responsible for any edito-
rials either by suggestion or ref-
erenc. The J&lilor has often
stated in the columns of his pa
per that he was the individual
writer of all editorials in his
paper.
R. Wood.
The above is absolutely correct
The enemy seem to have scared
Woods and of .course we .don't
wantanyone to sutler for our
sins. We sayto allt the (fusses'
who takeonVnse at' our course
that only one man stands re-
sponablo for the "hot stuff"

We wonder who the cuss
is who makes tlio charges n-
gainst Mr. Woods? We want
all the credit and all the cussing

Red bird red bird. singing so gay
In the Creek nation not far away:
Colored man colored man do not
delay.
Haetem to the territory right away.
Chorus.
That jsong sounds so loud and clear
Wake up wake up! why linger here?
Make up your mind this very day
Hasten away no longer stay!
Rd Bird is the only town
Where our 'people can ho found
Ready to build and ready to live
Nothing to loan and nothing to give
Manhood and womanhood are at par
Liberty's door is still ajar.
Colored man colored man como
alon
Wnlle that red -bird sings his song.
The whole world I've traveled round
But that red bird havo just found.
There I'll go help build that town
Bo a man to wear a crown.
