uid .emphatic upon these propossl-
ions. In fact, these are the two
hings that have brought the Colo-
nel into tlie race. As to his attack
on Haskell it might be remarked
hat Mr. Ross is shooting a little
vide of the mark? as Haskell is
,iot a candidate. However, this
might, he expected, as Mr. Ross is
n the campaign primarily, to get
i little healing balm for the wound
•aused when Haskell sat down up-
111 him so hard. We do not en-
lorse, by long odds, everything
Governor Haskell lias done, an>
more than Col. Ross, but we can
not see how Haskell’s weakness can
add to Ross’ ability. In other
.vords it takes something bigger
than a grudge against Governor
Maskel lto qualify one for govern-
or of Oklahoma, and we really
loubt whether Col. Ross has any
of those qualifications. Neither his
own record, nor, as far as we have
>een able to personally determine
•he record of others of the same
family, give the least evidence upon
which the most optimistic could
’-.ope that the Colonel could even
v hen swelled up with his well
known egotism, fill the governor s
hair. •
As we have already stated, Mr.
loss is making this campaign on
two issues, opposition to Haskellism
nnd a fight for re-submission of

•sues, a widely divergent, opinion

Registration system, the Prohibi-
tion question, the interference of
federal courts, and many other
questions of interest—vital intei-
jst—to the people of Oklahoma,
have been fearlessly discussed and
his position clearly and accurate-
ly defined. In all these questions
Mr. Murray takes the people’s side;
he has always been the champion
of the people’s rights as his record
in the constitutional convention and
the first legislature as well as his
work before that time will show.
Ilis honesty of purpose and sincer-
ity of motives can not nor has not
been questioned by his opponents.
A vote for Wm. H. Murray next
Tuesday is a vote for the biggest
man in “the race, and the only one
who lias shown himself capable of
filling the important position of
governor of Oklahoma.
Lee Cruee is the monied man’s
candidate for governor. He Is one
among the weakest candidates in
the field and but for the enormous
sum of money he has at his com-
mand, with which to buy newspaper
space and influence, he would
scarcely be in the running. One
proof of his weakness and his in-
ability to lead is his refusel to
take a stand on numerous great
questions. He takes a position on
the Torren s Land System, one of
the most needed things in Oklaho-
ma today. But what kind of a
stand? He opposes it, the most
needed reform in the state. He
will not take a stand on the usury-
law, he will not explain why he
contributed to defeat the Bank
Guarantee Law; he will not ex-
plain why he refuses to take out
a state charter. He says he is
strict prohibitionist, and favors
strict enforcement of the law, yet
says he will call an election on
resubmission of the liquor question.
He is* pandering to the prohibition
vote and the liquor vote at the
same time. lie is a straddler, a
man who Is making his big noise
in this campaign by the very liber-
al use of big barrels of money he
has somewhere accumulated.
Ross is the re-submission candi-
date. More than that, lie’s a fakir,
he’s not a loyal Democrat, he has
no principle, he haS no record, he’s
not sincere in the re-submission

Foui- Years ail Editor.
For about four years he was ed-
itor and proprietor of this paper,
86V8ring his relations at the time
of Statehood in 1907. He was al-
ways a booster for his town and
county, believing that Oklahoma
was the best place on earth.
Studies Law.
About four years ago he took
up the study of law, during his
spare time and by perseverance and
hard knocks, has graduated from
the American Correspondence School
of Law, and has passed with credit
the rigid examination now required
by the state for the practice of
law, making the full 100 points in
Pleading in Practice, one of the
most favorable showings in a class
of over 100 .applicants from the
various universities and law schools
of the country. Making a general
average in the sixteen branches of
law of fifteen per cent more than
the • requirement of the state.
Wins Case Over Santa Fe.
it will be remembered that a
few years ago the Santa Fe ar-
bitrarily changed the name of the
station at this place, calling it Ker-
mit, to the great disadvantage and
detriment of the people, the town
and the traveling public. Women
and children would sometimes be
carried by- to Kiowa or Alva, not
knowing when they had reached
Capron, and have to hire livery
rigs to drive back. The people had
remonstrated to the company by
of the public and as Gifford Pin-
cliot. President Roosevelt s chief
forester, puts it, “To do everything
the law- will let him do for the
public good and not merely what
the law- directs and compels hJm
to do.”
Will Compel Collection of Tax,
There is now delinquent tax due
the county, townships and school
districts on about $700,000.00. It
has been due and delinquent since
February. 1 908, and some of it
longer. As county attorney, if nom-
inated and elected, he will take
Immediate action to compel the col-
lection of the same for the county
ind the various municipalities.
Will Reduce Court Expenses.
•The one big burden on the tax-
payers of any county is the court
expense. The estimated expense for
this year alone is $12,000.00, to
be raised by taxes this year. He
will endeavor as nearly as possible
to make this source of revenue
return as much to the county
treasury as it takes out. Grady
county, about the size of this coun-
ty, returned to its treasury nearly
$20,000.00 the past year.
Will Guard against Excessive Tax.
The county attorney is a mem-
ber of the excise board, which
makes the levies for the county,
townships and school districts of
the county. He will favor the sub-
mission to the vote of the people
of all levies which are not the
most economical. Believing in a
reasonable liberality for the schools.
Will Utilize Another Source of Rev-
enue.
A justice of the peace has jur-
isdiction in all minor offences
where the fine is not to exceed
$200 or 30 days in jail. It is the
duty of the county attorney to ap-
pear and prosecute these cases.
