THE CHANDLEK TRIBUNE THURSDAY. OCTOBER It, lilt.
VOTE FOR WOODROW WILSON PAGE
DOES HUGHES FAVOR
WAR WITH GERMANY?
Roosevelt permitted Hughes to Run and
He says that we were cowards to Let
Germany Ravish Belgium.
Pinchot says same.
It is a well known fact, in this cam-
paign, that Mr. Hughes has the en-
dorsement of all the pro-German sym-
pathizers in the United States. No
one has ever denied that. Why should
they support him unless Mr. Hughes
stands for the best interest of the
German people in the mighty strug-
gle now taking place in Europe?
In last week’s Collier’s which is neu-
tral to Mr. Wr. Wilson like Mr.
Hughes desires to be neutral to Ger-
many, an article appeared opposite a
his heart then to do another. This is
demagogery.
Did Mr. Roosevelt mean war when
he said we should not stand by and
see Belgium invaded ? Does Mr.
Hughes mean to support Mr. Roese-
velt’s ideas when he pays for the
space to print them in oue of our
largest national weeklies.
The issue is this; if you want war,
vote for what Mr. Roosevelt says Mr.
Hughes means; if you want peace,
vote for Mr. Wilson who has given it
to you; if you want Wilson peace with

events in Europe, that she would not

three years, driven her out yet. If
Mr. Hughes means to stand for Mr.
Roosevelt’s statement, that we ought

AN OPEN LETTER
Chandler, Okla., October, 16, 1916.
Mr. Chas. B. Wilson, Sr-,
Chandler, Okla.
Dear Mr. Wilson:
I note your open letter in the last issue of the
Chandler Tribune, addressed to the various candidates
for the legislature in this, the Second District of this
county. I take it that when a man’s name is allowed
by him to go on a party ticket for a legislative office
he owes a duty to his constituents to answer any ques-
tions that may be asked of him.
I can state that I favor no repeal of the law provid-
ing separate accomodations for the white and colored
races. I am in f^vor of the present law and if elected
to the legislature I shall at all times use my best ef-
fort to see that it stays in our statutes impared in no
way. For the best interests of all concerned and to
prevent any race trouble I think that the present so-
called Jim Crow law should be continued in full force.
As to the separate school proposition there seems
to me to be but one answer and that is that Oklahoma
must prserve the right of her white children at all
costs and as we have found the present law to be ef-
fective for the last seven years of statehood and before
that for several years in territorial days, I should sure-
ly oppose any measure looking to the mixing of white
and colored children in any way in the public school
system of our state. 1 feel that the colord children of
this state are much better cared for than the taxes
they pay in would warrant and do not favor any law
having for its purpose the mixing of the races in any-
wise. At the present in this county we are spending
nearly one-seventh of all the taxs raised for county
purposes for schools for negro children. 1 his amount
is more than we are spending for any single purpose
excepting road and bridge. It is three times as much
as we are spending for the poor and insane, and six
times as much as we are spending on the widows and
orphans and over twelve times what we raise to run
the court of this county. For the reason that I do not
think it could be of any benefit to the white race I
would oppose any change in the separate school law
looking to. mixing of white and negro children in our
schools.
While you have not inquired I desire to state that I
would favor a law giving the cities of this state the
power to segregate the white and negro residents in
different parts of the city and compell them to reside
in those places. And I would favor a general state law
providing that where three fourths of the residents of
a township are of the white race, no other negro family
may move into that township-
Hoping that I have made my position clear I am,
Very truly yours,
COURTLAND M. FEUQUAY,
Democratic Nominee for .Legislature, 2nd. Dist.
FEUQUAY ANNOUNCES.
To The Voters of Lincoln County:
As I have no special interest to rep-
resent and am a candidate for your
representative in the legislature, I
deem it proper that I should give you
a few facts about myself. I have been
a resident of Lincoln county since it
was opened for settlement and have
a-ways resided, while in the county,
in Chandler.
At the expense of the people of this
city directly, and indirectly, of the
people of this county, I have been ed-
ucated in the Chandler High School
and at the expense of the people of
this state, I graduated at the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma. Afterwards I had
the pleasure of studying at the Uni-
versity of Virginia and at Yale, and
becoming an alumnus of each institu-
tion. Since 1 graduated I have been
a citizen of Chandler and a practicing
member of the bar here.
I feel that the office to which
aspire is an honorable one, if the oc-
supant expresses the desire of his con-
stituents, and I am therefore offering
myself for public service in this po
sition. As the salary is small and,
should I be elected, I would be re-
quired to be away for two or three
months from my practice it would be
a business and a financial loss to me.
While I would like to be so honored,
I do not desire the office for any other
purpose and if the people of this
county do not desire to avail them-
selves of any qualification which their
taxes may have given me, I shall not
feel offended but rather feel that 1
have offered to do my bit in the pub-
lic service as I think every good,
honest and true man should. Should
you vote and work againfet me, we
shall not quarrel, and I hope we shall
be the better friends after the elec-
tion. Should you vote and work for
me, you may be assured that I will
serve the people of this county faith-
fully and honestly.
Fellow voters, I have no “hanker-
ing’ to get to pie counter, but I am
willing to give my time and talent, if
you think I possess such talent as you
desire to use, at a financial and busi-
ness expense to myself. As I rep-
resent no one but the honest voters
of this county I do not deem it nec-
essary to say more than if it is right
and best for the majority of the peo-
ple, I am for it. And I shall be pleas-
ed to state my position upon any issue
which may be put to me.

From an article by Rich-
ard Olney in The New York
World.
Everyone knows that Germany is
not going to leave Belgium until she

i3 forced out and the alles have a lot 0, miuions for moving the crops
The democratic administration pro-
tected the farmers of the country and
the business men of the country by ad-
vancing treasury funds to the extent
of putting to do yet, to get her bacK
into Belgium from France, much less
out of it. Mr. Hughes must either re-
pudiate Mr. Roosevelt or he must ^
make WAR on Germany. He has not
repudiated Mr. Roosevelt.
Mr. Wilson has followed the ex-
ample of every other president who
ever guided the destiny of this coun-
try, in settling disputes by writing
notes and not by war. Mr. Hughes
admits now that he would write notes
but he does not like the style of the
notes the Democratic party sends and
would like to have the personal pleas-
ure of merely doing a little of the
writing himself.
If his suporters tell you he does not
mean war; they convict him of mean-
1913 and 1914, when the New York
banks pretended they could not do it.
“The democratic administraton pro-
tected Americans in Europe when the
war broke out by sending money and
ships to bring them home.
“The democratic administration
safegarded our commerce to Europe
by establishing a war insurance bu-
reau under the treasury department
which insured American commerce
when private companies dared not do
so. The treasury made $2,000,000 by
this insurance.
“The democratic administration, by
ihe ship purchase act, will stabilize
ocean freight rates and put an end to
the grossly outrageous freight rates
ereced by the supporters of the re-
established
mean war; uiey ...... — ~
inp to tell the people of the United j pelican party, who have ^
States one thing with the intent in |a monopoly of ocean-carrying freight.”
For the last fifty years the farmer*
of the country have been told every
year that the Re-
publican party was
the friend of ths
farmer and if kept
in power would
make his lot hap-
pier and better. So
have the Democrats
and finally after
fifty years in prom-
ises by the Repub-
lican, which they
never fufilled the
farmers of this na-
tion took a notion that they would
try the promises of the Demoratic
party and so we went into power with
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey at the
helm.
Since that day the democratic party
has done the following things in the
national congress for the farmers:
Rural Credits Act.
Extension of Parcel Post.
Federal Aid to Post Roads.
Agricultural Extension Act.
Office of Market and Rural Organ-
ization.
Grain Grading Act.
Cotton Warehouse and Futures Act.
Federal Reserve Act.
In the face of that list of accomp-
lishments of a Democratic Congress
and President and the record of the
Republican party of the last fifty
years Republican party platform does
not mention the word farmer in its
whole broad side of words.
The. Democrats have made good.
They have said we are for the farm-
ers and ha,ve given them rural credits,
long time loans at low rates of inter-
est, grain grading and cotton ware-
houses and do pledge them further ef-
fort during the next four years and
the Republican party meets and does
not even mention the people upon
whom the prosperity of this nation
depends, the farmers.
In the republican convention at
Chicago, the farmers were not present
and the politicians were so busy try-
ing to find someone who had been
silent for the last four years to run
and soft-soap both factions, that they
fergot the usual pledges to the farm-
ers. Farmers vote for Woodrow Wil-
son, the “Man of the Hour”, who in
three and one-half years has done
more for you than the Republican
pledges of half a century.
You can’t look the price of cotton
in the face without realizing that the
Republicans told you that the price
of cotton went off because of the war,
when it was low, and now they are
telling you that it is now high because
of the war. It it made the price low
and then high the only explanation Is
the fact that a Democratic Congress
gave you a shipping and insurance
bill which enabled you to carry your
cotton to the markets of the world
where they were willing to pay high
for it and that fifty years of Republi-
canism had not done this for you.
If the cotton price suit and your
best interests means anything to you,
vote for WOODROW WILSON.

In an interview the other day Thos.
Edison, the greatest inventor in
the world came out and advocated the
election of Woodrow Wilson, saying
that he and the Democratic party had
made good in the last three years
such as the Republican party did not
in fifty years.
Mr. Edison praised the prepared-
ness ideas of President Wilson and
said that with the present program,
America would be fully prepared me-
chanically as she should be in a short
time.
As big a man and genius as Thos.
A. Edison could only be influenced by
the highest motives and for the good
of his country only and any thinking
American can well afford to give the
words of Edison great weight in de-
ciding whether or not to turn down
the party that has made good for a
l arty that has not made good with
progressive ideas in fifty years of
trial.
