M'KINLEY
MONUMENT
(Continued from Pag*? One).
ijovernor Huffheit delivered the
principal addrea*. He aald in part:
The memorials of a free people are
erected to commemorate public serv-
ice and the distinction of noble char-
uct r The conqueror, lustful of pow-
er. and the seeker after self-angran-
dlxemrnt are not counted ainoqg the
heroes of democracy. The people
honor those who In their service to
their fellow men, honor humanity.
Here was marked the tragic termina-
tion of <i gresl career. Her** In tin aw-
ful moment there were revealed In a
sudden lurid flash the opposing forces
whose conflict is the history of man-
kind. At a time of rare prosperity,
when men. Industry and commerce
were celebrating their triumphs with
every circumstance of proud display
I na city ofnlniost unprecedented pro-
gress, the powers of darkness moved
to their attack and In an Infernal
frenzy of hate, an abject crouture
struck down the foremost and host
loved of American dtlxens. Never
did evil commit a more dastardly
deed. The victim was the chosen rep-
resentative of the American people, no
less representative In his ideals than
in his life Tlx* assassin's blow was
aimed at American Institutions, rep-
resented In the head of the nation.
hikI McKlnley fell because he was our
president. In memory of his mar-
tyrdom, In memory of an heroic death,
in testimony to the futility of Insen-
sate envy, and the lasting supremacy
df law and order. In memory of a
worthy life crowned by Its sud sacri-
fice. this monument has been ereoted.
The vitality of democracy may bo
measured by the generosity of Its
tributes to fidelity, and Its apprecia-
tion of honorable motive anil public
spirit. Cynicism Is n destroying can-
ker. and In proportion a« we revert
those who in the past have borne the
burdens of the republic, gratefully
recognise our Indebtedness to their
service, and profit by the lessons of
their experience, shall we prove our
capacity to meet the demands and
solve the problems of h later day. An
ungrateful republic can not endure
The services of him in whose honor
we meet, are an imperishable part of
the nation's history. Having fought
galliintly lti his youth throughout the
period of extraordinary extension and
Union, it was his high privilege In his
last years to preside over the destin-
ies of the nation, when with a revived
and Intensified national consciousness,
we Hssumed the enlarged and unex-
pected responsibilities which followed
upon a war, carried to a notable vic-
tory under his leadership, and sup-
ported by the people in unselfish en-
thUHliism for the cnuse of humanity.
It wns his happy lot to be chosen the
chief executive of the nation after a
contest which vindicated the sanity of
the public judgment, and established
new confidence In the working of our
popular Institution. With restored
credit, the country under his admin-
istration. quietly recovering from the
depression of trade, entered upon a
period of extraordinary expenslon and
prosperity. Wm. McKlnley sought pa-
tiently to learn the people's will and
faithfully to execute It. Tt Is a signifi-
cant and gratifying characteristic of
the American people that more than
the particular benefit conferred by
service, they prise the virtues of char-
acter. which In the course of service
are exemplified. Fidelity to friendship,
the exquisite grace of a husband's de-
votion. the honor of manhood, the
beauty of the forbearance of unweari-
ed patience, endeared Wm. McKlnley
to the hearts of his fellow citlxens,
and In their memory eclipse the glor-
ies of nn admlntstraftin flattering to
American pride. We may see but dim-
ly Into the future. We may be confus-
ed by the perplexities of our modern
life, made the more difficult by the
very riches of our Inheritance; hut as
we see our course by the pole star of
truth and Justice, and If we conserve
the ideals of character which our
fathers have taught us to reserve, we
shall not fall.

to any >tate government In the Cnlon
and the nation prosperity.
Dennis Flynn, abused no man; he
talked upon the issues In this oam-
p.iigti. be analysed thst alleged con-
stitution. fairly, honestly, thoroughly
and that great audience—somewhat
larger than the one In the afternoon
-—listened intently until he finished,
not a soul leaving and all anxious to
hear the truth from a man In whom
they have confidence.
"Flynn delivered a masterly address
and while Secretary Taft ripped open
the rotten seams, Dennis tore It in
pieces, and. us an Oklahoma old timer,
showed how Its provisions would ef-
fect his neighbors, his friends and
himself
"This was what the people wanted
to hear and their close attention and
earnest approval of his position must
have been a source of gratification to
the speaker.
"At the close of the meeting the
band played "America" while the au-
dience stood with bared heads after
which many hundreds crowded upon
the platform to shake hands with the
man whose advice they know Is good
and there were innumerable expres-
sion-. of disapproval of the Guthrie
cow con nnd pledge* that they would
\ote solid against Its adoption and for
the republican ticket which pledges an
attempt at Its amendment,
"In this at ti> le. It has been our pur-
pose to make nn honest comparison
of tii' m- hods of the opposing parties
in this campaign and we call upon ev-
ery fair minded man to conscientious-
ly decide Which he believes is the fair,
logical and honest thing to do when
he comes to vote and who Is right In
the presentation of tho conditions of
the people.**
Captain Northupp, of Detroit, Mich.,
who, with his wife and a party of
ladles are visiting the convention, de-
clared that what Impressed him most
about Oklahomu was the true genuine
hospitality In evidence. "1 never saw
anything like It before." he declared
"The real heartfelt hospitality you
have shown Impresses nic more than
anything else. 1 am also agreuably
surprlsed at the splendid young city
you have."
lie was followed by Chief John M.
Sherwood, of Neosho. Mo., president of
the Southwestern Firemen's Associa-
tion
President Kipley of the lllnois State
Firemen's Association also spoke. The
last address was delivered by Chief
j (leorge Hales of Kansas City, the prin-
cipal of the famous Hales' fire lighters.
Chief Hales, who has traveled ex-
tensively. a lire tighter of many years
anil perhaps the best known and most
famous chief in the country, paid a
high tribute to Chief Mark Kesler, of
this city.
Chief Kesler was under him for six-
teen years at Kansas City. "No man
regrets any kind of a lc<-<s by fire more
than Kesler," he said. "I want to say
to the people of Oklahoma City that
they have a fire chief to be proud of."
Prc-hlcnt McNeill's Address.
At a fitting close of the speech mak-
ing President James D McNeill In a
very able address expressed the pleas-
ure of the firemen at being in Okla-
homa City and their lhanks for the
hospitable reception that has been ten-
dered. He also paid a very high com-
pliment to the firemen's profession.
"It is a matter of supremo satisfac-
tion to me to on behalf of the Na-
tional Firemen's convention express
the deep appreciation for the hearty
welcome and magnificent reception
that has been tendered us here today.
I was whisked In an automobile by
your reception committee yesterday
evening over the city and had the priv-
ilege of seeing your elegant street, fine
buildings and other civic Improve-
ments. It Is remarkable that only a
few short years ago, where this city
now stands, the buffalo grazed at will
and the deer unmolested browsed on
the greensward.
"You have n magnificent young cltv.
It Is metropolitan In every sense of the
word and u hi n we laat h iri ll win
be with a desire to return again at
some time In the future."
President McNeill then spoke at
some length on the life of the firemen
and the poor compensation received.
"It Is for the purpose of revolution-
ising that condition." he staled, "that
we are In session here today. That Is
what the national convention slajids
for.
"The national firemen's convention
feels a more than usual Interest In Ok-
lahoma. When you become a state,
a provision of your uoniuitudon will see
that disabled firemen are cared for.
We are trying at this time to h ive that
provision enacted Into law In every
state In the union."
No Meeting Tonight.

clares that he wants to be njW'sident.

GOGKLEBURR
BILL'S PLATFORM
Tishomingo, T T , , Aug. 31.—The
Goekleburr club held a rousing meet-
ing at this place last night nnd ndded
another straw to the campaign for
Cockleburr Bill for vice president. The
crowd that gathered at the local club
rooms Insisted on having a speech for
Colonel Buraguard Plckeet but the
Colonel insisted that some others
ought to have the opportunity to ad-
dress the club. Before the speaking
begun the club rose and while stand-
ing sang the following song:
We am a good obi rebel that thah arn
what we am
Fob this broad land of freedom we do
not cahh a damn
Now we hutes the northern eagle with
all Its noise and fuss
We hates the nothehn yankee and we

After the singing the club imme-
diately elected Colonel Plckeet the
chairman of the meeting The colonel
affirmed his all-gience to the time
honored principles of the lost cause
and assured the club that he was
heartily In favor of Cockleburr's plat-
form. Copies of the platform were
ill this Juncture received from Bill's
cockleburr ranch on the Washita and
on the motion of Judge Stewart the
platform was adopted His enuncia-
tion of the principles of democracy
that are dear to him and the ones that
he will put Into effect* If elevated to
the vice presidency, are as follows:

For seventeen years from the day
Oklahoma was opened to settlement
the railroad companies and the coal
operators extorted an arbitrary and
exhorhitant tribute of money from
citizens which the latter were power-
less to refuse. Later came the trust
controlling cotton seed products, and
even cotton Itself, a trust as merci-
less and rnpacious as the Standard
Oil Company.
There were Just two classes, the
producer and the consumer, that bore
these burdens. No Intermediate class
helped to lighten the load. When
freight rates were advanced at the
caprice of railroad companies, when
the price of coal was pushed skyward
because the operators had a "cinch**
and were In league with railroads,
and when cotton went up or down ut
the will of the trust, the wholesaler
and the retailer merely adjusted their
schedule of prices and protected
themselves.
Both the officials and the people of
Oklahotnn seemed so appalled at their
misfortune that year after year passed
without relief. Failure to stop this
commercial brigandage gave rise to
the mythical story that Oklahoma had
no laws that could reach these abuses.
One day President Roosevelt made
Frank Frantz governor of Oklahoma
Territory. Frantz was appointed be-
cause he believed In the public ser-
vice policies of President Roosevelt.
Frantz was quick to see the predica-
ment of the people. He realized that
Oklahoma was and could always be
nn agricultural state; that the farmer
was the very foundation of the com-
mon wealth nnd that he was being
ground to dust under the heel of the
irporatlons. With his keen eye
Frantz saw that the producing farmer
was not the only victim. Beside him
lay the consumer, representing that
indispensable army of citizens who
work for wages, and whose Industry
builds cities and shakes them with the
due of factories.
Frantz told his friends privately
that he purposed prosecuting the rail-
road companies and other violators of
the square doal.i Th^o friends laugh-
ed at him. and said that be dare not
do It: that he would make enemies
would drive him from office and
destroy htm politic! Uy. Frantz re
plied that he believed he had a friend
!n Washington iwho would back hiin
to the limit in this kind of undertak-
ing. The new governor of Oklahoma
could not be swerved from his pur-
pose Tt was natural for Frank Frantz
to take this stand. Born on a farm,
and engaged constantly In its work
until he was a grown man. his sym-
pathies were with the men who till
the soil.
The staff unon which Frantz as
governor would have to lean most for
for support wns the attorney general
of the territory. For this place be
chose a man whom he bad known for
years as a loyal friend, a capable law-
yer and who was deeply In sympathy
with lb" policies of President Roose-
velt This man was W. O. Cromwell
of Fnid Cromwell Is a descendcnt
of that hard-beaded, fight-loving old
English warrior. Oliver Cromwell,
who beheaded a king to win his
cause. Results have shown how well
Frantx's confidence was placed.
The first move against the offending
railroad companies, and this included
all the companies In Oklahoma, was
begun within thirty days after the
amended Interstate commerce act be-
came effective. August 3ft. 1 ftfi.
It would be tedious and technical lo
relate In detail what Governor Frank
Frantz has done In bettering the con-
dition of the producing farmer nnd
the consuming wage-earner in Okla-
homa. What he has done Is a matter
of record In the courts nnd before
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Tie has w irked quietly nnd with no
effort to gain notoriety.
As the republican nominee for gov-
ernor of the new 'state, however, he
points to his record in asking for the
support of every citizen who believes
In a square deal for everybody. He
discards the clap-trap phrases of the
demagogue nolltician who orates of
what he will do for the "poor labor-
ing man and the honest farmer." but
never does It.
Frantz hss been standing In the
open for a year to lie shot at by the
railroads and the trusts, but they have
never touched him. And he has deeds
to show for his promises.
Tf It be true, as claimed by some
• t.i'i.-M ' mi that the export rate on
grain f^-os It* >ri e at home, in a
•ilnst th
ilroads. (

te on grain
of the local rates was a horizontal
reduction of about eleven cents a hun-
dred pounds and a great saving to
shippers.
To compel the Rock Island rail-
road company to place heavy steel on
its system In Oklahoma and to ballast
the same, build steel bridges and en-
large Its switches and aide tracks and
to furnish cars for the transportation
of grain, live stock and other commo-
dities upon demand by shippers and
consumers. This was an alternative
writ of mandamus, and In reply the
Rock Island has alleged that since
January 1, 1907, the company has ex-
pended more than $1,600,000 and has
substituted 85 pound rails laid on Its
main line in Oklahoma, pluced new
ties thereon and ballasted the same.
To reduce the rate on grain from
Guthrie and other Oklahoma points
to Oainesville and Fort Worth, Tex-
as. The rate to Oainesville was cut
to twenty cents, and twenty-two cents
to Fort Worth and Dallas.
Complaint Is pending against the
O.. It T. & P. railway company on
coal rates from Indian Territory coal
fields to all points in Oklahoma.
Complaints are pending before the
commission against the Santa Fe rail-
way on the coal rate from Colorado
coal fields to Oklahoma Santa Fe
destinations.
Complaint is pending before the
commission against the Santa Fe on
coal rates from Kansas fields to Ok-
lahoma Santa Fe destinations.
Complaint Is pending before the
commission against the Santa Fe on
the grain rate from Santa Fe Okla-
homa points In the northwestern part
of the territory to Kansas City. Mo.
Complaints are pending before the
commission against the railway com-
panies doing business out of Kansas
City, Missouri and Kansas oil produc-
ing points to Oklahoma common
points on the rate of crude petroleum
and refined oils, and there is no doubt
of the ultimate success of this suit.
The railroad companies, after the
commencement of these coal suits,
filed a new coal rate, which reduced
the rate from ninety cents a ton to
destinations in the Indian Territory to
eighty cents a ton to destinations in
I Oklahoma, making a mean average I
| reduction to Oklahoma desti/iations of j
I thirty-six and four-tenths cents per i
I ton. These suits have "not been finally
determined by the courts.
! The territory filed an Informal com-
j plaint against the coal operators of
the McAlester district In the Choctaw
Nation. Indian Territory, alleging
combinations by the principal opera-
tors therein for the"1 purpose of con-
trolling not only the output of coal,
but the selling price to the public
thereof, and also combining against
the proposed selling to any persons or
dealers excent those who are mem-
bers In good standing of the retail
dealers' association. Commissioner
Prouty held an Investigation at Mc-
Alester, Indian Territory. February
fith, i']i an J 8th. <it which Investiga-
tion it was clearly proved that all of
the allegations of the informal com-
plaint were true and were proved to
be. This procedure Is the extent of
the jurisdiction of the territory in the
coal premises.
In conjunction with John Emhry.
I". S. district attorney, to catch the
offenders in both the federal and ter-
ritorial courts, should they attempt to
dodge. Attorney General Cromwell has
begun an Investigation of the combi-
nation existing in the territory among
cotton seed oil mills, and indepen-
i dently of any other Jurisdiction, of
j the question of the refusal by rail-
! way companies to furnish cars to
farmers and producers of cotton seed
I for purposes of transporting cotton
seed to markets other than local. As
soon as the fall terms of court are
convened prosecutions will begin
The prosecutions will be along two
lines and for violation of the anti-
trust act and the other the Institution
of suits lo annul the charters of guilty
companies.
The Waters-Pierce OH Company
and the Frisco railroad company were
indicted for rate discriminations In
favor of the oil company, as against
independent dealers Following the
mistake of a court Judge to enter an
order In his' records for the trial of
the cases by another judge, these in-
dictments probably will be quashed
The abuses complained of. however,
have been corrected
The Farmer's Union got caught in
the tentacles of the trust octopus and
was speedily released by Governor
Frantz. The manager of the Farm-
er's Union co-operative store at Nor-
man complained that Oklahoma City
wholesale merchants refused to sell
them goods. After a visit by Attorney
General Cromwell to Oklahoma City,
this letter, dated June 27. was re-
ceived from the manager at Norman:
"Will write In regard to the whole-
sale grocery companies of Oklahoma
City; would have written sooner but
we were waiting to see what the
wholesalers were going to do. I guess
we can get the goods we want up
there now. Th inking you for your
favors, we remain."

ARTIST EARLE'S
METHOD NOT
APPROVED
(Continued from Paje One).
was thrown Into the muddy road. He
picked himself up but made no fur-
ther move. Whether he simply did
not know what to do, or whether he
welcomed the opportunity to pose as
u martyr for his ideas, he made a
strong picture as he stood bareheaded
in the rain, facing an everwidening
circle of people around him. Several
men ran out of the circle and struck
at him. Then Earle used his whip.
Three of the attackers went down but
one managed to seize the whip and
slashed the artist across the face. This
seemed to satisfy the crowd for there
were cries of "That's enough." Vil-
lage President Pulleford and several
officers here appeared upon the scene
and Earle was told to get into his
buggy, which had been righted and
drive away. "I am willing to explain
my position," called out the artist, but
the officers Insisted that he drive on
and Earle who had shown splendid
courage throughout the trying ordeal,
finally did so, going slowly. Tho
crowd broke up Into small groups aft-
er that and stood about the streets
for a long while discussing the inci-
dents of the night and the artist's
strange domestic story.
