matter Of record, as we will bo « be-
low:
Section 3"> of Article 21 Cori itit-j-
tion of Oklahoma says:

tutional convention of lh> proposed
State of Oklahoma and all < <■

ed. that the debts and indebtedness
the payment of which Is hereby as-
sumed by the State fchall not Include
any debt or expend- aa a salary or
comi ensation of the delegat'-a of t!.<
constitutional convention."
Chapter 5, Article 9, Seasion laws
of the State of Oklahoma says:
"An act appropriating funds to
pay mileage and per diem of dele-
gates to comtitulioiial convention re-
maining unpaid after appropriation
made by congre-s was exhausted.
''Section 1. There Is hereby ap-
propriated out of the funds of the
state treasury not otherwise appro-
priated the sum of $31,991.00 or so
much thereof a- is n*< <•• -ary for the
purpoae of paying mileage and per
diem of delegates to the constitu-
tional convention remaining unpaid
after the appropriation of congress
was exhausted according to the cer-
tificate Issued to each member by
the president of the constitutional
convention as follow*:
''Albert H. Ellis, Orlando, Mileage
and per diem Voucher No. 1792,
1250.00.
"Henry S. Johnston, Perry, Mile-
age and per diem. Voucher No. 17'j'i,
1292.00."
Now—Wben Kills and Johnston
voted to pay themselves, or any one
else, deficit salary as delegates to the
constitutional convention, did they,
or did they not, violate their oath of
office, stultifying them-'-lv- - viola-
tors of the constitution and defraud-
ers of taxpayers. In law and in fact,
so far as constitutional provision Is
concerned? And. in no' th'- taking

He did just what he said he would

Now—what more do the people

If not—why make a change? Why
i displace him with Johnston.—with a
Iman who has never done anything
but bow the knee to Charley Haskell
an.I Bill Murray—never done any-
thing except take orders from bosses
and serve them lik<- a simple slave.
What did Johnston ever do for the
people of Oklahoma?
What did Johnston ever do for
anything or anybody except him
self.
What did Johnston ever perform
that even warrants congressional
pretensions?
If Johnston was anybody or bad
ever done anything except be Has-
kell's ''little toy", people might be
justified In considering him from a
congressional standpoint.
Yet.—the voters of this district are
asked to displace a big. brainy, hard
working representative—a congress-
man who has fulfilled every pledge
he ever made—who passed every
bill be ever said he would pass, and,
more—who attended to the business
of the other four members of con-
gress, helped them with their meas-
ures—and, had he not done so they
would have passed none)—and at all
times was in the front ranks when
it came to advancing the interests of
his state.
In this connection the Illustration
given by Senator Beveridge, in hi*
spcech here, aptly fits the case of
McGtalre and Is as follows:
"Suppose, as has often occurred
under republican administration, a
farmer Is so prosperous that he owns
enough land to come to town and
enjoy himself himself and live for
the rest of his life. Suppose he puts

For nearly twelve years, Mr. Bry-

the dictator—of the Democratic par-
ty of the United States. With but
one exception its polltlces have been
your policies, its principles your

After twelve year* of *uch domina-

has gone down to three successive na-
tional defeats, piling disaster upon
disaster and ruin upon ruin, your

the most available candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomination
In 1908, but that you are the only
available candidate, and you yourself

Senator Champlln suggests that
it would be a splendid thing if the
next legislature became busy and
provided for the propogation of the
pheasant for open season hunting.
The pheasant is a very gamey bird
and the Senators suggestion should
be followed.
The Tulsa World believes that Jim
Davenport, the democratic nominee
for congress in the third district,
ought to have something more to
commend him to tbe suffrage of the
people than his ability to cuss the
nigger. P'raps so!
Mr. Bryan shows what an uncon-
scious humorist he Is when he tells
Judge Taft, after the latter has been
so long in the public service, to go
and make a record for himself.
And this man Hesrst. who is say-
ing such mean thing* about Bryan. Is
