Every man likes to believe
that the men who run for or
bold office in this county, elute
or nation are men of honor, hon-
esty, capapility and with an a
bundanee of energy to give the
people full value for the salary
they are to receive, and to add
strength to their party.
In Oklahoma we have recent-
ly passed through a campaign of
those seeking county and state
nominations for the many (too
many) offices within the voting
(if the election boards are honest,
enough to count right) gift of
the voters.
In that campaign every man
with a sense of decency has been
puttoshame by the continuous
volumes of criminal charges
made by the competing candi-
dates for state offices in the ranks
of the Democratic party.
A mess of slush so vile that
the name of Oklahoma needs fu-
migating before going beyond
, the state lines.
Every mother’s son of the
Democratic candidates for gov
ernor, if one-half of the charges
made against them in public, by
their Party Competitors, is true
(and the law of slander is broad
and powerful) should be in the
Penitentiary for a Jong term of
years.
Fellow Citizens, can you vote
for men for your higest offices
who are publically and repealed
ly charged with all the crimes
and moral offences within the
bounds of extensive vocahula
lies? You have a moral force
to wield as an upright, conscien-
cious citizen as a shield to the
growingyouth.of your state, and
you must, if you are true to those
duties, so vote that no future
campaign will be as foul as the
j®gin stables. If you don’t vote
to silence this villainous work
the two past campaigns will not
make even a shadow for their
next, and their growth, as in
the two past, will be geometric-
ally multiplied as campaigns suc-
ceed each other.
You haven’t heard any one
charge John Fields with even a
suspicion of immorality, crime
incompetence, political ambi.
tion or lack of £ride in the great
Suite of Oklahoma that every
citizen should feel aud exeinply
in his daily life.
Force an Honest
Election in (November.
Votres generally do not know
that section 25 of the election
law enacted at the extraordi a-
ry session in 1913, if enforced,
would practically prevent a
caooked election. About the on
ly additional requirements would
be care on the part of the elec-
tion watchers to see that the cal
lers correctly call t he vote for
each candidate This having
been done, five certificates of the
vote shall be made and signed
Otto certificate ol the vote shall
(»e kept by the precinct inspector,
t wo shall be placed in the ballot
box, one shall be posted outside
the polls at once lor public m-
BlHJCtion, and the other shall be
filed with the comity clerk at the j That power is in
a pen no nent record. This would
endanger manipulation of bal-
lots after the boxes were locked
by precinct i fticers, and enable
the public to detect any changes
Failure to make and deliver these
certificates is a fellony. The
fact that the certificates are pi i-
ma facie evidence of the correct-
ness of the precinct vote, makes
easy and certain the prosecution
of election crook, as heretofore
a prime facie case depended lip
on whatever evidence could he
gathered at random, making
convictions almost; impossible.
Vigilance would largely insure
an honest election in November.
State Superintendent R. H Wil-
son is wholly responsible for the
muddled condition of our schools
last year. By carrying his fight
fur the 1912 adoption into the
courts lie made it impossible for
any one to know what hooks to
buy and the result was that man-
y parenis bought no hooks at all,
waiting for the courts to settle
t he controversy. No new course
of study was made because no
one knew whether to base them
on the old books or on the new
ones. The result was that our
schools were in a demoralized
condition: no course of study,
some wit h old books, some with
new books and some of the cliil
dren without any books at all.
Who brought about these con-
ditions? No one hut K. H. Wil-
son.

Stryker Talking Out.
Tulsa Editor Says Every laidy
Will he Glad to See the Crucc
Administration Go Out.
Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 29.—Editoi
William Stryker of the Tulsa
Democrat., one of the most hide-
bound Democratic mewspapers
in Oklahoma, has announced
that he will support Bob Will-
iams for governor, bur. other-
wise seems greatly displeased
with the record of the machine
in Oklahoma. In his issue of
August 24. he said editorally:
“The Democrat will bid Fields
a God speed in showing up the
rottenness of the Cruce admin-
istration. Cruce and most of
his closest advisers—his kitchen
cabinet—are a lot of crooks that,
if they had their just deserts,
would probably land in the pen-
itentiary. Republicans will be
no better pleased than Demo-
crats generally to see Governor
Cruce, Brother A. C. and the
rest of the kiiil < n < thinel that
have disgraced the State, walk
out January 15.”

Will Slate Superintendent R.
H. Wilson please let the people
know why he was so anxious to
put through the midnight adop-
tion of books of 1912? The gov
ernor has removed three mein
hers of the state board of educa
tion because they had been found
guilty of Mowing political influ-
ences to govern in their appoint-
ments; had given places in the
state schools to their personal
friends, had removed state teach
ers of unquestioned reputations
without any charges against
them and without giving them
a chance to be heard. Wilson
voted with these three ousted
membeas on practically every
thing they weie guilty of. The
only thing that saved Wilson
from the same fate that met his
fellow conspirators was the fact
that the governor had no power
to remove an elective officer.

BIS MARK STORIES
The ha tide of Koenigsgratz oi
Sodowa in vvlucli the Prussians
defeated the Austrians and gain-
d the ascendency in Germany,
was fought July 4th, 1866.
Three Prussian armies, uudei
Prince Frederick
We may add that the Crown
Prince’s army arrived shortly af-
ter and the Austrians defeated.
Here it another story, this is
of Bismark, and “General Louis
der Grosse” is our authority for
me same.
When the representatives of
Franco & German) met to make
he treaty of peace at the close
of the Fiance German War,Bis-
mark made up his mind that the
negociat ions should not he coil
ducted in French which had long
been the diplomatic language of
the world, so, when all wasread-
y to begin, Bismark arose and
with all the haughtiness that
ids proud spirit could command,
and said: “The negotiations
will be conducted in German, if
you can’t understand the lan-
guage, get an interpreter.”
Wonder in what language the
negotiations will he conducted
at the close of the present war!
