The "Mew Jerusalem Plan" is another scheme of the mach;r,o bunch to get in a graft—and this to be a huge one. There will be "millions in it" for the fellows
who would buy the land and plat and sell it out. The referendum ballot says ALL public institutions of the state will be moved to" "a central location" to be
selected by a commission. Norman, Weatherford Edmond and Stillwater—all the towns with institutions-would be ruined to give a few hungry politicians a

First District Managers Expect
Democrat Editors to Give
Great Publicity to Bogus
McGuire Affidavits in
Last Week
That the managers of Henry Johnston's
campaign realize that he Is a defeated
man and are making a last desperate ef-
fort to hold the democrats In line by par-
' ■ -linpr out generous slice sof pie, Is evi-
denced by a letter made public here to-
day by a disgusted democratic editor who
whs offered* the posfofilce in his town if
lie would publish the bogus Smith affi-
davit against McGuire.
' Siitfre receiving the letter, which I
lfaw turned over to the republican Btate
heudquarters," he said: "1 have made
investigation and I have found that the
p stoffice promise "lias been held out
to every democratic editor in the first
district, and not. only to editors but to
democrats who were out of line for
Johnston.
"I was for Johnston at the beginning
of tills campaign but I am not now. 1
am thoroughly disgusted with his meth-
o11$ I am a democrat but not for Johns-
• ton. No honest democrat can afford to
endorse the Johnston political methods.
He has not appealed to the voters of the
district upon grounds of democrac y and
principles, but has attempted to obtain
sn election to congress under false pre-
tenses. His campaign has been one of do
ception.* He lias embarrased the 'honest
democratic editors and workers many
times by putting out pure falsehoods. 1
take pride in saying to my subscriber*
you may depend upon the truthfulness of
what you see in my paper. That's the
reason no more Johnston dope noes.
Johnston has promised everything in this
c ti.ipaign but h£ has been so HVal with
promises that everyone can see he is In-
sincere."
The letter he refers to .was pent hv A.
•1 Thompson in charge of the Johnston
licadquarters, with a copy of the bogus
Smith affidavit which was launched near
' the end of the campaign but Is prov.ng a
boomerang. TJie letter follows:
