LAYING PARTY ASIDE.
Honest republicans in Okla-
homa who have voted your par-
ty ticket becauscd you believed
it would best conserve the public
welfare, just ask yourself one
question and alter you have an-
swered it honestly, decide
whether or not you should con-
tinue to support the republican
party.
Why diil candidate Taft select
as treasurer of the National Re-
publican committee a Wall street
banker and broker, who is a
large siockliolder in, and helped
to organize some twenty of the
largest financial combinations in
the country?
Is it possible to find any solu-
tion to this (juestion other than
the conclusion that candidate
Taft expects large campaign con-
tributions from Sheldon's asso-
ciates in Wall street? Mr. Taft
certainly knew that Wall street
is not very popular in the rest of
the country. Had he expected
that the bulk ol his campaign
fund would come from the hon-
est farmers, merchants, mechan-
ics and professional men in his
party, he surely would have
chosen a man to have charge of
that fund who was not identified
in a dozen different ways with
the predatory interests which he
admits have gained an undue in
flucnce in the affairs of the gov-
ernment during the past ten
years. Honestly, now, Mr. Re
publican, why did Taft select
Sheldon? Wasn't it because lie
expected the bulk of hiseampaign
fund to be collected in Wall
street? And if this is true, d<
you honest Oklahoma farmers
or laboring men think Wall street
is going to contribute this money
to elect a president who will safe
guard your interests? Wall
street isn't in the habit of paying
out money for patriotic or senti-
mental reasons, is it? Don't
I'ierpont Morgan, E. IF Harri-
man and that class of fellows
generally expect to get some-
thing more than gratitude out
ol the money they invest? What
do the Wall street interests ex-
pect from Mr. Taft if he i.-i elect-
ed president, in return for the
campaign fund they are contrib-
uting? Honest Republicans in
Oklahoma, answer these ques-
tions for yourselves and then de-
termine whether you will vote
for the candidate whose cam-
paign expenses are paid by Wall
street, or for the candidate whose
expenses are paid by the com-
mon people.
We understand that the stock
argument of some McAlester
boosters is that if this end of the
county goes for Krebs for the
county seat, Hartshorne won't
get any more county officers.
The thunder, you say. Same old
game, eh. That's ' McAlcster's
strongest weapon, but we don't
believe it will "take" well 011
many people. Such argument
would rather have the effect of
arousing a spirit of resentment
among voters who ha^f nny self-
respect. If a fellow ca. '1 be per-
suaded to vote for McAlester,
then the scheme is to force him
to by threats. Well, we have an
ideal that the same voters who
see fit to locate the county seat
in Krebs will take care "of the
election of the county officers,
all right, all right when we get
to that matter, and don't you
forget it.
From a list of individual ex
prcssions along the same line
coming from republicans, which
appears in the last number of
the Commoner, the following is
a fair sample:
To the Editor of the New York
World: He (Taft) remained in
the hall until after the address of
President Wyndham R. Mere-
dith. Then lie hurried to the
golf links, where Senator Bourne
of Oregon, was waiting tor him
with a club and a look of stern
determination 011 his face.—
Evening Sun, August 4.
Senator Bourne is not the only
republican who will be waiting
for Mr. Taft with a club, in the
shape of a Bryan ballot, which
will be administered with a look
of stern determination next elec-
tion day. 1 have been a repub-
lican voter and have voted for
every republican president from
Grant to Roosevelt inclusive,
but it 1 live my vote for president
next November will be cast for
Mr. Bryan. The principal issue
before the country today, in my
opinion, is tariff reform, and as
my party is side-stepping this
vital issue by indefinite promises
of reform some time in the future
by its friends, by which I sup-
pose is meant those eminent tar-
iff reformers Uncle Joe Cannon,
Sherman, Payne and others of
the same belief, I have deter-
mined to take my chances with
the democratic platform this
time. W. W. T.
Brooklyn, August f>.
Coming Here In Cans.
Money from adjoining states
continues to pour in to Okla-
homa because of our guaranty-
deposit law. It is coming in all
conceivable ways, but this re-
port from Muskogee, tc.kes
the bakery:
Murray G. Haskell, cashier of
the Guarantee State bank of
Muskogee and a son of Gover-
nor Haskell, has received the
prize winning freak deposit. It
came from a farmer in Missouri
who wanted to get his money
in a guaranteed bank. This
farmer took a baking powder
can and lining it with cloth put
$600 in it. He sealed this can
and placed it in another can
which he also sealed and wrap-
ped with barbed wire. When it
was delivered at the bank Mr.
Haskell was confident he was
up against an infernal machine
and carefully laid it away in a
tub of water to soak. The fol-
lowing day he received a letter
from the farmer telling him what
the package was. He rushed to
the tub and took the deceptive
bundle out expecting the water
had ruined the bills. Fortunate-
ly the sealed cans had been made
water proof and the money
was as dry as tinder.
Wants Pay For Martyrdom.
Following his arrest 011 the
charge of criminal libel preferred
by Governor Haskell, Oilier K.
Benedict, who is hired by the
corporation owning the Oklaho-
ma City Times, to write edi-
torials for that paper, immedi-
ately issued a proclamation to
the republicans of Oklahoma
telling them that lie is willing to
go to jail for the rest of his na-
tural life, if necessary, if the re-
publicans of Oklahoma will only
"stand by him." Benedictinthe
next paragraph proceeds to ex-
plain that the way for republi-
cans of Oklahoma to "stand by
him" is to subscribe for the
Times. Tersely put, Benedict's
proclamation means that he is
willing to libel Governor Haskell
and to go to jail lor it, if the re-
publicans of Oklahoma will only
pay him sufficiently tor doing so.
Well, what's the difference be-
tween racking your brains to
devise nasty editorials about
somebody in order to earn your
weekly pay check, and drawing
the same money for putting in
the time in a nice comfortable
cell, l'o a time-server or a meal-
ticket man the latter would
probably appeal.
(ust any time anybody don't
like this paper's views 011 any
question, that person has tnir
permission to cut out his part of
it and it won't offend us—npt
even a little bit. When you sub-
scribed for this paper you didn't
buy but one, the balance of them
go to other readers. You didn't
buy the editor's views; they are
not for sale.
The republican machine is criti-
cising the democratic legislature
for not passing several needed
laws. By the way suppose they
tell us why they did not pass
these needed laws in territorial
days. If they are needed now
they were certainly needed
during the seventeen years prior
to statehood and the republican
party had the territorial legis-
lature every session but one, and
yet they didn't pass these laws
which they say are needed .—New-
State Tribune
We learn that Ringlings circus
is coming to McAlester on some
date in September. If McAlester
could succeed in getting the big
circus there 011 September, 2G,
she would certainly very effect-
ually put the kibosh 011 Krebs
in the county seat proposition.
Ninety percent of the people
would rather go to a circus than
to eat. No body knowsthisany
better than McAlester. If the
foxy old girl don't spring some-
thing like this it will be a sur-
prise to us.
An exchange tells how to write
your name 011 the metal of your

beeswax melted over metal and
inscribed with the desired letter-
ing and the indentures then filled
with nictric acid and allowed to
stand a few minutes, will make
the signature.
