T. M, Noel
Anti Saljon league, endorsed Bill
Murray They torgot to refer the
matter to the boys at the forks of
the creek for their ratification.
The matter will go there however
on August 2nd and these "politi-
cal fixers" will find what responsi
bility is attached to delivering the
temperance vote of the state to
an intemperate man.
The jails and penitentiaries of
the state are not large enough to
hold the men that stand accused
of election fraud by Bill Muiray.
The accusation, if it had any
foundation at all. was mere ru-
mor told to Bill by a friend
If Bill was right, these S,000elect-
ion olficers are corrupt, the Dem-
ocratic pirty should be defeated.
If Bill was wrong, tf these men
are possessed of honesty and in-
tegrity, Bill should be defeated,
J F. McMurray, acknowledges
that he is just as anxious as ever
to dispose of his Indian clients'
segregated coal lands and inci-
dentally from one to two million
dollars fee. Bill Murray is just
as anxious }o sell the school lands
and buy these lands for the state.
(Juestion Has these harmonious
desires on the part of Murray and
McMurray any connections with
the big campaign fund at Mur
ray's headquarters at the Thread
gill Hotel?
Bill Murray started the cam-
paign by declaring himself the
father of the iniative and referen-
dum. It has been proved by the
records of the Farmers Union
that he was not the father or even
third cousin of that provisions of
our constitution, but that he bit
terly opposed its endorsement by
the first state meeting of the
Farmers Union that ever gave it
consideration, and insisted that
his vote be recorded against it.
That record laughs at Bill every
time he lands his work in behalf
of the Initiative and Referendum.
Lee Cruce not only believes
tint our guarantee bank law is
the best state law ever passed but
advo ates that it be made a part
of the National bank law.
The Democrat party must stand
or fall on the record it has made.
If it has had a wise economic ex-
ecutive management, if it has
furnished a clean, able and un
prejudiced judiciary, if it has pro
vided legislatures with advanced
ideas of reform, it is entitled to
be upheld b> every candidate
seaking nomination on the Demo
ciatic ticket. Hon Lee Cruce is
the only candidate for Governor
who upholds the administration.
Ross, has characterized his cam
pa'gn by attacking every thing
democratic, and Murray, after
satisfying his egotism, has no time
left to devote to the party.
ler, but really, laying all prejudice
I aside, will not lus banking exper-
ience be of more value to the state
j when he is Governor, than was his
farming experience'
Can the Decmocratic party af-
ford tonominite a man that is
bitterly objectionable to the State
Federation of LaborCan the
Democratic party afford to antag
oni/.e forty-five thousand laborers
who believe that they owe it to
organized labor to defeat Bill
Murray in the primary, if they
can, or the general election, if
they fail there?
A paragraph taken from the
Ardmore Resolutions passed July
29th 1908 where the State Feder-
ation wis then in session is as
follows' "Whereas his gag-ruli
as speaker of the house and
his disrespect shown ladies, has
proven him to be a man destitute
of honor and void of principals."
In re affirming the resolutions
the executive board of Labor in
session at Oklahoma City on July
17, 1910, passed a resolution con
taining the following paragraph:
"Resolved, Farther that since
it has always been the policy of
the State Feleration of Labor to
support its friends, we deem it of
even paramount importance that
we condemn the conduct of such
men as Win. H. Murray, who is
now an active candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket,
and that our influence is hereby
pledged to his defeat in the com
ing primary election, and we earn
estly solicit the co operation of
all fair-minded men who believe
in the rule of the people. We
also call esp«cial attention to the
conclusion of the said Ardmore
resolutiou which states that the
laborii.g people regard any orga
zation or party which continues
to boost Mr. Murray as an enemy
of the masses of Oklahoma, and
that we cannot render him our
support under any circumstances
The Democrat party has al
ways been the friend of the Lab-
orer. Would it be the part of
wisdom to nominate a man so
bitterly opposed by Labor.
Dj not forget that the Repub
lican press and the Republican
politicians of the state are solid
Bill Murray. Would it not be the
p irt of vrisdom for Democratic
voters to inquire why.
In casting thur votes for the
Democrat can lidate for Gover-
nor, prohibitionists should remem-
ber that Lee Cruce is the only te-
totler candidate running. He
voted for prohibition and has
never violated the law.
Democratic voters, in casting
their vote for Governjr next
Tuesday, should not forget that
there are many close counties and
legislative districts. An unsatis
factory men at the head of ticket
might loose these counties and
districts to Democracy. Can Mr.
Murray, who is at war with th
administration, who charges the
election boards with a heniouj
crime, lead these close counties
d district to victory? Let
Cruce is in harmony w tn the ad-
ministration and the workers and
his nomination will mean the
election of at least a hundred
more county and legislative of-
ficers
Bill Murray, so Conger says,
will call out the State Militia if
necessary, to stop the bootlegger.
We never heard of a bootlegger
resisting arrest and hardly see the
necessity of sending a company
of soldiers t j do the work of a
constable. It appears to be
bJill lojlish and very expensive.
Seven men, three of whom were
Republicans, in the name of ths
Some of Lee Cruce s opponents
have tried to create prejudice
against him because he has been a I
banker. Now let us see if this ex-
perience should disqualify him.

School Land Commissioners, who
