PROM GOV. HASKELL’S KEYNOTE
8PEECH BEFORE THE DEMO-
CRATIC STATE CONVENTION,
TULSA, SEPTEMBER 1, 1908.
Insurance Department.
The able Commlsioner of Insurance
has already given Oklahoma a high
standing among the other states, and
has dilligently sought to exclude un-
safe fake insurance companies, and
has carefully collected every dollar of
revenue from the different companies
to the state for transacting business
here.
To show you that Democracy is en-
titled to be proud of Its new laws, and
the work of Its Commissioner, Mr
McComb. the first seven and one-half
months of statehood, the Commis-
seventy thousand four hundred and
sixty-nine dollars and twenty-three
cents, as compared with twenty-one
thousand nine hundred and sixty dol-
lars and fifty cents collected by the
Territorial Commissioner for the same
seven and one-half months of the pre-
vious year under a carpet-bag gov-
ernment and an Oklahoma Territory
law. and this also goes to save the
lax-payers that amount.

An outsider, a stranger in Oklahoma,
leading the Republican papers would
think from all the furious denuncia-
tions of him as a man and as an of-
ficial that Charles N. Haskell was the
issue in this campaign, that the sole
thing to be settled 1s whether Haskell
is a patriot or a Alachiavelli, whether
he really deserves the confidence and
the esteem of the people of the state
or whether he is the devil from hell
masquerading in the clothes of a man
He would think «tat the destinies of *'m"Sph<'r,‘ <* *u*ptrlnn. the constant
the state ar.d the people are wrapped
up in the determination of the per-
sonal merits and demerits of Charles
N. Haskell. Sanity has been thrown
to the winds. Argument has been for-
saken and forgotten The sewers .»f
abuse and vilification have been
thrown wide open and the stream aug-
mented by Tra>. Blanche and Sweet-
heart and all the rest of the pack
which hangs on Republican favor and
which derives sustenance from the Re-
publican pot.
Haskell is not an issue. Haskell Is
governor of Oklahoma and he will con.
tinue to be governor of Oklahoma f-'r
more than three years yet unless im-
peached. which is a remote possibility.
Oklahoma can elect all five Republi-
can congressmen, Oklahoma can give
the Taft electors a tremendous major-
ity. Oklahoma can elect every candi-
date on the Republican ticket this >ear
and Haskell will still be governor for
three years and more And as gov-
ernor. according to the decision of the
supreme court, he Is the highest execu-
tive authority In the state. You can’t
dodge or evade that fact. You can’t get
away from It.
Then what is this row all about'
What’s the purpose of it? What’s to
be gained? Simply this: The Repub-
licans and the people of the United
States recognise In Haskell a national
character, a man who. by the mere
personality
friends, the geneaology ,>f every one of
the company is carefully tabulated
Nothing is k»ft unwatched He lives
In an atmosphere of espionage and
spies
Ik) you wonder that Haskell some-
times loses hls head and breaks out in
Intemperate language at these things?
Do you wonder that at times he does
things which appear reckless and out
of place? Do you wonder that the
constant cloud of spies, the constant
bully-ragging and abuse do not get
on his nerves? Put yourself In his
place What would you do” Suppose
the gang of coyotes and Jackals which
is now howling at the heels of Haskell,
and it is the history of the coyote and
the Jatkal that they never attack a
man in the open, were u|><»n your trail
would you not he tempted to use
stronger and more forcible methods
than Haskell has used?
They charge that Haskell is mixed
up in a graft In the sale of s< h*K)l
books Do they nfW a syllable of
proof for this assertion? Not a one
They charge that Haskell Is mixed up
in some kind of a graft Involving the
sale of the school lands Do they of-
fer a single document In proof of this
or give the name of a single man who
will stand for the charge** Not <.n
your life They charge that Haskell
has sold out t” ttoe Standard OH Co.
Do they offer a scintilla of proof in
support of this assertion, one letter or
one telegram, or one man who will
come forward and say he knows ft Is
true? Not if the court knows Itself
They charge that Haskell Is manipu-
lating the funds of the state to prove
the guaranty of deposits law a suc-
cess Do they offer a single Instance
where the funds of the state have been
•o used* Not one They charge that
Hask/dl does not pay hls debts, that
he Is a speculator, repudiated at home
Haskell will demand an investigation
and that every one of the Jackals will
be summoned and have a chance to
testify and the testimony at the hear-
Jng will be given in the open and the
bars let down. Then yon will see an
exodus from the state »r you will .*«•«

Had there been anything to prove th*
fine tooth comb would have found l»
Thus the Honorable James Rudolph
Garfield is to Marne for the whole
shooting match if there is any blame
attaching to anybody. If he had not
issued the permit with the necessary
modifications the pipe could not have
been laid across the lands of full-
bloods and the Standard would have
been forced to continue going along
Just as it has been going along for
more than a year If Mr Garfield had
not listened to the unanimous request
of the suffering oil producers of the
Shallow Pool and revoked the regu-
lations of his predecessor. Mr Hitch-
cock, there never would base been all
this tr uble. But have you heard of
any Republican orator **r any Republi-
can newspaper in Oklahoma intimating
that James Rudolph Garfield was cor-
rupt and that he accepted a bribe be-
cause he grunted the request of the oil
producers? Not a one Yet Haskell,
who merely followed the lines ot the
tenns of the permit Issued by the sec-
retary is a crook and a bribe taker and
has sold the state to the Standard Oil
Co.
It is Just such miserable attempts to
befuddle the public mind as this which
disgusts all decent men Every tran-
saction connected with the laying of
the pipe line was in the open. Haskell
was not bril>ed and Garfield was not
bribed It was a business trunsai .r»n,
but the Republican papers in their at
tempt to make Haskell the scape -g< at
for all the sins of all the politician?-
from the beginning till now have
charged him with corruption without
«ven mentioning the name of Oarfieid
IF HASKELL IS GUILTY GARFIELD
IS ALSO.
If Governor Haskell sold out to the
Standaid Oil Co. in the matter of the
laying of pipe lines in Ok.uhoma so did
Hon. James Rudolph Garfield, secre-
tary o fthe Interior, the bosom friend
of the president and the man respon-
sible for the prosecution of Standard
DH In the United States courts. If
Haskell has done anything repreutu-
»ible Mr Garfield is equally guilty. If.
on the face of It as the Republican or-
gans contend. Haskell accepted a bribe
from the Standard, by the same token
the honorable secretary of *he interior
may be convicted of having accepted a
bribe.

A WORD OF WARNING.
That the telephone company U look-
ln^ for trouble or that the local man-
agement has gone wrong seems v* i .
apt*arent. ln face of an order of the
court not to Interfere with the old
rule they have demanded a higher
than contract rate and upon refusal to
pay have removed the telephones from
the school buildings There could not
be a more positive and open declara-
tion of war not only against the city,
but against the authority of the state
If the telephone company th.nks it is
big enough to defy public opinion and
the laws of the state It will certainly
find its mistake
Its managers. Dennis Flynn Pliny
Roper and some others who have be* n
In the habit through the corporation?
they represent of dictating terms t*
the public, are evidently drunk with
power on the theory of “the people b*
d-d." and ’what are you going to
do about it,” propose to give the cltl-
jv*ns of Tulsu a taste of what a pub-
lic service corporation can do to th*-
public
It Is indeed unfortunate that the
management of the telephone company
should b«- in such hands The demand
for a raise in rates was made as n
counter proposition to a general de
mand f*»r a reduction as has been mad*
in railroad, express and other rates *»f
other public service corporations. A?

A w rd of warning If the m.inmc
they will find to the! rsorrow that they
are dealing with free American citi-
zens In a state where **the people
rule.’* They will find themselves put
out of the city of Tulsa for good and
all even If when ft comes to going
they should repent and make it to the
Advantage of the people for them to
stay Better hack up before it Is to

The Democrat haa always opposed

other system coming In as long as the
present system Is a law abiding cltlien
but when It refuses to he It Is time t1'
move this one out and put another In
One thing should not be forgotten
The corporation commission will give
the people of Tulsa as low a telephone
rate as Justice will permit The only
r.-*ason for considering another system
Is the possible necessity of doing so
!*ecause this one fails to give good ser-
vice and to obey the law. lt Is hoped
that wiser councils will prevail, that
the school phones will be replaced and
the Pioneer company will again be-
come a law-abiding citizen without
the necessity of further court proceed-
ings

“Oklahoma is the home of the anar-
chist," "Oklahoma is the abode of the
political as well as the physical cy-
clone," "Oklahoma Is opposed to the
coming of capital." "Oklahoma Is op-
posed to the building of railroads and
telegraph lines.'' “Oklahoma Is the
birthplace of Isms and schisms and
atclysms." ’’Oklahoma had nnother
freak piece of legislature," “Oklahoma
Is opposed to the development of her
natural resources." These and other
things you see in the eastern papers
Why? Because the Republican organs
•f this state have continually and are
continually libelling the state. There
Is a bureuu at Guthrie sending out lit -
• *arture assuring the timid capitalists
of the east that the state will go for
Taft this fall and all will be well
What do you think of that? The bu-
reau forgets to state that Haskell will
be governor for three years longer and
that lf nearly every Republican can-
didate for the legislature Is elected
there will still be a nine-foot sheet
majority. But wouldn’t It scald you?

Nevertheless and notwithstanding
the Republican papers, each and every
one of them, supported strenuously and
vigorously Attorney General West’s
attack on the oil industry of Oklahoma
and severally and Individually they
are still bidding the attorney general
to go ahead with th* fin- works The
only trouble Is that the fireworks of
the attorney general got caught In^a
rainstorm and won’t go off. But the
oil people remember who it was that
put the hose on ibe pyrotechnics
