in the district court room on the is-

as the greatest governor of the mo-t

The governor began by saying thai
a few people object to holding so
many electi< ns but he had never

made in Russia The governor's re-
marks were on the line of giving an
account of hi- administrate n and de-
fending Ins policies. The picture he
drew of tin knockers and grafters in
( )klahoma carried conviction to every
thinking person in the vast audience.

The govern' r made it plain that
Joe Mc.Veal, republican nominee for
governor and his followers were the
<nil's who have attempted by fair and
f ul means to give ()klahoma a bad

The Ten Cent Oleomargarine Tax.
Why did the congress of the Unit
ed States enact the present oleomar
garine law which provides for an in
ternal revenue tax of ten cents per
pound on artificially colored oleo
margarine? Was it to permit the but
ter producers of the country to exact
a high price for butter as has been
claimed? To make such a claim is
a pretty serious indictment of our
federal law making bod\ Of course
butter is'higher in price than it wa
ten years ago but so are ther nec<
sities of life. The percentage of oleo
margarine now being put upon tli
market bears a higher ratio to th
amount of butter consumed than it
did ten years ago This o upled with
the fact that less than thre« per cent
of the oleomargarine sold is taxed at
ten cents per pound prove that tli
oleomargarine law has absoluteh
nothing to do with the price of butt
Conirress enacted this law to pre
vent fraud in the sale of oleomaiu
ine. The law was never intended
prevent the honest sale of oleomai
garine or to enhance the interests oi
the butter producers of the country,
but rather to protect the one against
fraud in the purchase of butter or
oleomargarine and tlv other against
fradulent competrion.
Congress intended to compel tin
sale of oleotn irgarine in it s natural
color (which o white or nearly so)
instead of i.: :he natura1 c -lor ot
butter (which i- > • I v. - ('• tigress at
the same time reduced the former
tax of two cents per p >und on oleo
margarine to oiie-tourth of a nt
a pound when the produ- 1 is n> t ai
t;! h ' l,'. 11 \ i ' ! IK- I M ;! • t l
Congress used its taxing power t
prevent fraud in the sale of ole
margarine because it had no eftecti\
means of accomplishing that result
When oleomargarine i> put upon ti
market in its natural color, thu* maK
ing it impossblei to commit frard.l
the tax is one and three-fourths cent
less per pound than under any pu I
vious oleomargarine law
The butter producers of the conn- |
try are benefitted by oleomargarin
legislation only in so far as the ir
tegrity of the dairy industry i- sm
tained—a benefit which is shared by
every other citizen It is a most im-
portant branch of agriculture ami
is quite as essentail to prevent tli
destruction of an agricultural iudu-
try by fraud as it is to prevent th
destruction of our banking industry
or any of the other industries in
which every good citizen is interest-

The Republican party demands a return to the election machinery In forci
prior to statehood.
A boyhood recollection is the outrage of 1876, wherein a eovereipn natioi
was ruthlessly overturned by a republican election board and a mr who hai
been overwhelmingly defeated by the people was given the highest office In thi
gift of the nation.
To permit illegal and disqualified voters to participate In our elections I
juat as fatal to honest elections and good government as It is to make fall
count and return of legal ballots.—LEE CRUCE.
In securing an honest election It is not sufficient that each voter "be per
mitted to vote lust as his conscience dictates, and have hla vote counted am
declared just at It was cast." but it la equally Important to provide that noni
but legally qualified voters shall be permitted to vote. To permit illegal am
disqualified voters to participate in our elections is just as fatal to hones'
elections and good government as it is to make false count anjj-etu-n of bal
;0t . On the 2nd day of August, 1910. by a very decisive majaM, the peopli
Ot this State amended our constitution, whereby certain qualifications havi
been prescribed as prerequisite to the right to cast a ballot. This amendmem
, popularly known as the "Grandfather Clause" in the constitution. Havinj
become a part of our organic law It Is the duty of every citizen who bellevei
,n upholding the laws of the state to see that this provision of our constitu
tion la carried Into effect.
At our meeting I shall propose that we take steps to see that this amend
ment to the constitution Is strictly enforced at the coming election, to th<
end that no Illegal or disqualified voter under our laws be permitted to vote ii
this state. From the interest you have manifested in regard to fair electioni
I am warranted In concluding that you will heartily join In the effort to en
force the "Grandfather Clause" a lendment In this election. Will you do sol
let us all unite In seeing that none but legal voters under our constitutlor
ar.d laws are permitted to vote that each voter be permitted to vote as h<
aesires and that his ballot be counted and returned as cast. With these thingi
accomplished "Sunshine and Prosperity" will be the portion of the people el
