PRESIDENT MAKES A PUBLIC
STATEMENT TO THF AMERICAN
VOTERS.

Than Once Surprised the Policians

Favor Democrats.

ident Taft today made a public state-
ment In which he declared that "four
years of del. ression which followed
the second election of Cleveland''
was due to the promise of tariff re-

tariff that followed.
The president said that the issues
before the voters is clear. "On the
one hand is prosperity and real pro-
gress; on the other a leap in the
dark."
"The American people' he contin-
ued "have more than once surprised
those who thought the people were
being fooled and I believe a similar
surprise awaits my otonents on the
coming fifth of November.
"Except in the south where the
republicans of color are not allowed
to vote and In California and Kansas
where whites as (well as the colored
republicans for the present are dis-
franchised the ballot Is free through-
out the United states and that means
that the citizens are free to- expres
their own will at the polls."
SPEAKS HI
CONGRESSMAN WILL BE PRINCI-
PAL SPEAKER HERE NEXT
SATURDAY.
"Tell the citizens of Ardmore"
said Chairman S. A. Apple this
morning "that the campaign com-
mittee has a pleasant announcement
to make today nad it Is that our own
popular congressman the Honorable
C. D. Carter will he the principal
speaker here next Saturday at the
Wilson rally. We have had him in
mind all the while and it was only
today that we had a promise from
him that he could be here Other
places In his district have demanded
all his time and we have not had
the pleasure of an address from Mr.
Carter this year; so now as a fitting
climax to his cwn schedule and a
wind-up of the campaign we shall
hear 'our own Charlie.'
"It is understood that Representa-
tive Carter will speak in Marietta
on Friday coming home Friday
nl''ht tc spend all of Saturday in
Carter county speaking at different
places to be assigned him by the
speakers' committee. After his Ard-
more speech he will be taken in
an automobile to Woodford where
he will speak at night and on re-
turning he will speak at Springer
and one or two other places conve-
nient on the way.
"No better campaigner is on the
stump" added Mr. Apple "and it is
desired that all our people stop
from work and business long enough
to hear Mr. ' Carters' speech. He 'will
tell them that the eastern half of
Oklahoma wants and should have
more Immediate legislation at the
hands of congress just now than
any other district of the country.
The speech he will make will be an
educational treat to those unfamiliar
with five tribes affairs. Mr. Carter
Is the author cf and is now cham-
pioning several bills before the con-
gress for which he has strong ar-
guments. The Inimitable 'Charlie'
has a few brand new stories; he has
some words on socialism and he
will say something real serious about
an uncertain Bull Moose and a
certain Bull Elephant running a
race against cur Mule."

violated their oaths of office C. W.

sythe steam-rollered through a reso-
lution yesterday morning in special
session that does away with the of-
fice of water superintendent was the
direct result of Commissioner Con-
neely's decision. He charges that
the office was abolished merely for
the purpose of getting rid of Commis-
sioner Collier who is distasteful to
the "big three" because Collier was
recommended for the position by Con-
neely. Result of Long War.

missioner Conneely come as the fi-
nal result of several months' 'Iwar'l
on Conneely by the "big three." Com-
missioner Downing has either remain-
ed neutral in these squabbles or has
voted with Conneely as he did yes-
terday when the waterworks resolu-
tion was presented.
"1 have tried to get in harmony
with the bunch said Commissioner
Conneely yesterday "and 1 have fail-
ed. They have opposed me at every
turn of the road since my election

fact that I was elected at the first
election and led the democratic ticket
by men who got into office only by
narrow margins.''

Stubbs Makes Reply.
Topeka. Kan.J Oct. 28v Governor
Stubbs issued the following statement
today in reply to Taft's assertion that
ie republican of Kansas were dis
franchised:
"Taft Is entirely mistaken. The
facts are that after Taft's electors
had been defeated in a legal state-
wide ii rimary by 35000 votes aud the
Roosevelt men voluntarily withdrew
from the republican column and al-
lowed the Taft men to file under the
"Taft and Sherman" column and the
Roosevelt electors filed in the inde-
pendent column. Taft evidently fail-
ed to keep up with the political sit-
uation in Kansas."

state a light frost would materially
benefit the cotton crop at present
causing the bolls to open on the
other hand they do not want rain
