lb" white peo|ilo of Guthrie and
Logan county S'ored a signal victory
in yesterday's election by the "tall"
run made bv the white candidates.
That the Lea!«r was right in its con-
tention that ring rule and negro of-
ficialism were harmful to the town
and nou.'ity 3 interests was easily
proven by the big vote piled up by the
white candidates.
The morning paper has sought to
discredit the good intentions of the
people of Cuthrle by saying that negro
officialism In Guthrie was a myth.
The morning paper was given the lie
direct by ihe people, a glance at tho
vote cast for the white ticket easily
proves that the white leiple of Logan
conntv, regardless of party affiliations,
demand a change
Two yoar3 ago. Foster carried Logan
county strong by 464 majority. Tax
payers, irrespective of party, indorse
tha courbt, of the Leader. Never In
the history of Guthrie has a Demo-
crat scored n victory in Guthrie city
Yesterday Nlblaclc carried the city by
a majority of 267. Levy also scored
hard with a majority of 38 against
Merten.
The election yesterday can not be
looked upon a Democratic. It was
n white election, wdth voters of all
parties voting for the upbuilding of
the capital city.
