OH.*USAY BRYAN WHO SVYOUR FAT'FRIEND?
After having flaunted his boastin ;
fliallenges to meet any representa-
tive republican in joint debate any-
where and at any time, Governor
Haskell refused to accept the chal-
lenge given him by Judge w. O.
Cromwell, last week, in which Crom-
well offered to meet him in joint de-
bate at Enid, on October 15, and con-
tent.; himself with dodging the issue
by quoting a batch of billingsgate
and abuse against certain republi-
cans.
As a matter of fact, Haskell Is
afraid to meet Cromwell in joint de-
bate. He and Cromwell had a debate
at Lawton over a year ago, in which
Cromwell peeled his epidermis in
good fashion. Cromwell is one of
the most able debaters, logirians and
platform wits in the southwest. He
masters eloquence, facts and satire,
all in one, and, with the great edge
he has over Haskell iby reason of
Haskell's record, a joint debate be-
tween the two would be bound to re-
sult in the complete skinning, trim-
ming and worsting of Haskell.
At lease he is denied the satisfac-
tion of trimming the booster in joint
debate, Judge Cromwell, and the re-
publican committee have the satisfac-
tion of compelling Haskell to draw
In his horns and acknowledge that
he has met his master and is afraid
to debate.
Hurrah for Cromwell. It does us
good to note the unafraid.
Little Millard Parker had an op-
eration performed on his throat
Wednesday.
The a'bove is the picture of J. M.
Porter, republican candidate for re-
election o the lower house of the
legislature, Mr. Porter, served with
distinction In the first legislature and
took an active part in procuring
the passage of laws that would bene-
fit the state at large, but he also
fought and voted against the many
iniquitious measures that become
laws of which the following are onl'
a few:
The State printing steal of $22,-
000 allowed the Guthrie Leader. An
appropriation of $10,000 to create a
commission of three pie hunters, who
were cut of a job to report on the
advisability of the state buying the
segregated coal and asphalt lands
o? the Chociiv. and Chickasaw na-
tions. These lands are still under
tout: -! of the U. S. government, but.
t-.' Boy- mjst be provided for ai
they did valiant service for the dem-
ocratic party.
Aiso tin- appropriation to pay the
per tilers-ami ullage of the consti-
lor.nl delegates, said appropriation
.c a direct viola ion of the const 1-
utlon of Oklahoma, the above are
only a small number of the many vic-
meas^res that Mr. Porter voted
and fought against, including the
Gobel election law, the intent of said
law being to place the political ma-
chine in the hands of the democrats
make fair Oklahoma on a par
with South Carolina and Mississippi.
Air. Porter introduced seven bills
'uring the legislative 'term, all of
these ■Mils were of merit and should
have become laws, but owing to the
prejudice the majority had for the
minority the democrats would not
permi any bill introduced by a re-
;:n to'oecomea lew. All bill::
introduced by the republicans were
smothered in the committees or re-
ported that they do not pass.
One bill in which Mr. Porter work-
ed hard to get on the statute, and
which met the hearty approval of the
farmers on he revenue and taxation
committee was mortgage indebted-
ness except. That any person being
the owner of rial estate in the state
of Oklahoma and being indebted in
any sum secured 'by mortgage upon
real estate may have the amount of
such mortgage indebtedness not ex
ceeding $1000 deducted from the as
sessed valuation of mortgage premis-
es and the amount of such valuation
remaining .after such deduction shall
have been made shall form the basis
for taxation but no deduction shall
be allowed greater than one-half of
sucii assessed valuation. This bill
had it become a law would have ben-
efited that class of persons who have
mortgages on their real estate and
who are paying double taxation. Mr.
Porter was unable to get the bill re-
ported favorably and as the author
was a republican it was smothered to
death and met the same fate as all
the bill- that were Introduced by the
republicans.
Mr. Porter was rarely absent from
•he House only being absent five days
during the entire term of 100 days.
His record in the legislature Is one
to be proud of as the journals show
■that hi- vote was always recorded on
the side of right and recorded against
the many grafts and steals that 'w?re
passed by the legislature. If re-elect-
ed he will work' and-vote to repeal
many of the freak laws that have
made fair Oklahoma the laughing

other questions, all doubt has dis-

Whereas, An attempt has in our
judgment been made and is now be-
ing made to compel the secretary of
the state federation of labor, J.
Luther Langston, to use his position
and the seal of said organization for
iniquitous partisan purposes to the
great detriment of every branch of
union labor In this state; and,
Whereas, The said secretary, J.
Luther Langston, has steadfastly re-
fused to permit his office and the
federhtlon to become the ally or

organization is founded
that it should be deemed too rideous
to be tolerated in our organization.
3. We condemn the efforts of the
executive board to try our secretary
on trumped up and groundless
charges before a body composed of
his avowed enemies where it was im-
possible for him to get fairplay, and
we further condemn the attempt of !
said board to arbitrarily expel from !
office a man elected by the labor j
unions. That action was also con-1
trary to the spirit of our oranlza- j
tion, in which power is vested in the
members alone.
4. We recommend that every
man who has been a party to this in-
famous outrage on our organization
be requested to resign from any po-
sition he may hold and to turn over
his office to men who are friends of
union labor and who desire to ad-
vance that cause and not use this
organization for personal and politi-
cal ends.

of Commerce committee, who are
looking after the stock show loca-
tion when interrogated upon the
subject Monday. He added: "We
have a great deal of work on our
hands and will take our time in or-
der to do full justice to all concern-
ed and get the best possible results.
'We have to consider railroad and
street car connections as well as the
location and It may be some time
before we can determine just what
is beEt. The proposition is too Im-
portant to be disposed off hurriedly.
We are holding meetings and getting
things in shape as rapidly as possible
and will work as fast as we can in
■handling the matter thoroughly.

location that can be secured and
