it is essential to elect a gavernor and

Mr. Doyle urged the people to
vote for the constitution, to accept
the only chance we have ever had to
• :cure self government. He said:
'The proposed constitution for
Oklahoma is the best constitution ev-
er written for a common people, hut
if it was the worst constitution ever
written, if it had been written by ne-
groes, I would vote for it in order to
gain statehood and self government
and then amend it afterwords as is
our right."
He spoke words of praise of our
fellow citizen, Arthur Sullins, who
is democratic candidate for Register
of Deeds. He also praised T. XI.
Bildeiback, for what he did when
he was county Commissioner. Mr.
McGuire said the tax rate was now
just double what it was when Tom
Bilderbeck held the reins.
IN DEFENCE OF R. E. BA6BY
Morrison,Okla.,Sept 101I1,1997
We, the citizens of Morrison, Au-
trey township, irrespective of politi-
cal aftiliatxn, have seen a scurrilous
statement reflecting upon the char-
acter of our fellow citizen, R. E.
Bagby. Believing such methods in~
defensible and a reflection upon the
citizenship of our people, we wish to
express our emphatic disapproval
thereof. We wish to state that we
wish to bear testimony to the high
character,business and social stand-
ing of our friend and neighbor. Mr.
R. E. Bagby has been a resident of
this community for the past six years
and it is our pleasure to state that
his charactehas been above reproach. #
He and his family are among our
most estimable citizens. And such
tactics as the above named scurrilous
statement is despicable in the ex-
treme ami should be condemned by
all respectable people.
