MEAL TICKET PATRIOTS
(By Luther Harrison)
Ton years in Oklahoma politics .n<l several campaigns in st.iti
political |ica<Icpiartcis I rave given nu a line >>n meal ticket patriot- of
Oklahoma. It is not easy to ^et the nann - «> i* all of these for their!
name is legion, hut in ten vear time I have become ac(|ttainteil will
?n entire battalion of pnMic :;>irite<l citizens who will support an\
candidate or any ticket for a cash consideration. It may he said
that a campaign is formalh. open when the meal ticket brigade he-
pins t< knoel, at the door « i political headquarters. All of diem
have an exalted idea of their own importance. Ml of them i an deliver •
the solid vote of a to.vnship, a county or a congressional district.
If the organization is interested in a township, the meal ticket patriot '
is ready to convince von that the township in question i> hi*- pet
stock in trade. If a congressional district is deemed doubtful, the I
meal ticket man is ready to carry that district horse, foot and dra-
goon.
The rapidity with which tlu- meal ticket man can chance his pol-
itics and align himself with another party is a real marvel. I remem-
ber an aggravated case in 1V12. A ver\ ambit ions prospect i\e work-'
cr who specialized iti forensi- appeal to the ''honest farmer" and in
working on the spiritual nature of religious camp tueetings . as,
having a state itinerary prepared Lv the democratic speaker-.' bureau
when the bureau aforesaid was chagrined to learn that the ambitious
worker had changed his politics in the twinkling of an eve and had
accepted employment as a spellbinder with the hull M- . organ-
ization.
The present campaign 'v '•> • exception to the general rule. The
meal ticket man is *-tii1 working at the same old stand. Several
"inilucntial 'democrats and sprinkling of noted socialist* have heard j
the jingle oi" tin guinea and are publicly prav ing for republican vic ,
tory in great agoiu of soul. Men who have sought employment at
so much per from the democratic organization have salv ed their i
gi ii*f at being rejected by accepting a meal ticket from the republican
organization and lor a few badly needed dollars have convinced j
themselves that as there is no balms in the democratic gilead the;,
hav e thf undoubted right to look for manna in the desert < i repnb- thr
licanism. Some of thc*«- are billed to propound the gospc
ing ami llarreld from the political stump < T < >kla 1:• >nia.
scheduled to "make" the various towns and spread lb
democratic disaffrtftio i far and wide. Some have accepted positions
oil the payroll of republican newspapers and are specializing in pla j
ing up the imaginary discord in the democratic organization Some
hav e made a goodlv '\aise" from a prominent oil man and • re ;
preparing to publish ;it tin state capitol a "democratic"' newspaper
advo cating the acceptance of republican principles and urging the
election of republican candidate^ One of the most vociferous
these newspaper promoters is a polished democrat who wears near
his heart a personal letter from the chamberlain of the former kaiser
expressing the kaiser's appreciation of the serv ice rendered the <!er
man cause by the vociferous nev. ^paper promoter.
The political gyrations of these* meal ticket patriots ftinii-In > th'-
comedy of every political struggle. The ease with which thev recon-
cile their ability t< deliver a th nisand votes with their urgent need
of a dollar and a-quarter is more comic than anything that cvci ■
came from the peir of the world's greatest comedian. flic recon
mendations thev give themselves and the eulogies they pronounce
oil their own oratorical ahilitv would be 'Stoiinding n oru didn't
know the-chief characteristic o ft he meal ticket men. \nd thus it is j
that campaigns come and go. i-sues are agitated hut rarelv settle*!.'
the great game of \merican politics is played to its ira i d close, i
but the meal ticket patriot, like a certain famous brooklet, goes n
and on forever. In these humid autumn day- he is still going g"od
and before the ides of November come you will have seen him in
your own bailiwick preaching a gospel altogether new and strange
to him but a gospel that placed money in his purse and a meal ticket
in bis pocket, and for that reason he is more than satisfied.

THE JUDGE'S LITTLE JOKE
The joke is on Jack Johnson.
I'or years he has been dou^iu- I nited Slates officials, living in
Mexico and other outlandish places, enduring all the hardships of
being away Irom bi~ \merii in admirers, white and black a:id mixed,
and missing the association of tile gentry oi 1^- iik in the light
centers.
Xow that he has i nail, given himself up and has been scutciu.:<!
to serve but a year anil a day at 1 :i veil worth and pa\ onl\ S1.01X)
fine, how he must feel his 1 itlierv n.'ck and scratch his vvoolh bead.
I'or had he staved here and taken his punishment when the charge
against him was first tiled, he would have been through with it long
ago, to say nothing of the fight money he might live been pill I in
down.
loo bad it i- that the court had not had both the power and the
inclination to have tied a can to his black carcass and run him back
among the grea.ers.
