SAYS OKLAHOMA IS REPUBLICAN.
"Oklahoma will go republican this
fall—mind what I tell you," said
James H. Harris of Wagoner, Okla.,
trea^uier ot the state republican com-
mit ItM-, who was one of the callers
yesteiday .at the national headquar-
ters in (he Harvest building.
"Last year," said he. "the republican
party platlofin declared agaiust the
adoption of the constitution which
had been pie pared by the constitu-
tional convention. Rejection of this
constiution would have deferred state-
hood until another constitutional con-
vention had beeu held and probably
would havod eftrred statehood for an-
other year at least.
"The remai n c platform declared
for the Kd)p(l.r of the constitution
and for Imme^islr statehood, and the
result of the elo'Cou was as follows:
The dcmorrulit Mate ticket received
s vote of 123.000, the republican, 96,-
00'!, aud t*K*ro were not voting 122,000

weeks in this nation. That the con-

he downfall of Joseph Benson For-
t | aker may have caused chagriu to the
I republican party, but he was prompt
ly repudiated by his party and by the
I people of this country. Mr. Bryan and
the democratic national committee
were not so prompt In dealing with
the case of Governor Haskell, but
they knew that they dare not retail
him as treasurer of the democratic
uational committee, in the face of the
consuming fire of public opinion that
declared him unfit to represent
great national party. The conscience
of the American people betrayed no
sign of decadence or lethargy. More
admirable evidence of good citizen-
ship was never witnessed.
There must be cause for this quick-
ness of public conscience to scour-
age from public positions, men wh
had betrayed their trust. Its great-
est factor lives today iu the person
of Theodore Roosevelt, president of
the United States. There are hon-
est men who do not' admire this or
that phase of the personality of Pres-
ident Roosevelt. They talk of the "big
stick," his haste to do battle, nnd as-
sert that his methods aire spectacu-
lar. Whatever his methods and how-
ever aggressive his personality, and
making all due allowance for his mis-
takes, the fact may not he obscured
that Inevitably his so-called big stJct

S^ft^OOOOOOOOOO
I fael that the country is Indeed to b« congratulated upon the
nomination of Mr. Taft. I have known him intimately for many years
and I have a peculiar feeling for him, because throughout that time
he worked for the same object, with the same purposes and Ideals.
I do not believe there could be found in all the country a man
ao well fitted to be President.
He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and up-
right, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs, with-
out and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens.
He would be as emphatically a President of the plain people as
Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would be freer from the least taint
•f demagogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of
any kind.
He has a peculiar and intimate knowledge of and sympathy with
the needs of all our people—of the farmer, of the wage earner, of the
business man, of the property owner.
No matter what a man's occupation or social position, no matter
what his creed, his color, or the section of the country from which he
comes, if he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty
toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that
he will have ln Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the
most fearless of champions.
Mr. Taft stands against privileges and he stands pre-eminently for
the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda-
tion of our national well being.

record square with Mr. Bryan's pol-
icies and the Denver platform's atti-
tude on stock watering and fly-by-
right speculation which in the latitude
of Nebraska is suggested when the
terms "Wall street" and "plutocracy'
are mentioned; how do they accord
with Bryan's professions and his
hatred of the plundering of the peo-
ple?
The democratic platform denounces
the republican party for neglecting to
"enftwoo the law against guilty trust
magnates"; for refusing "to protect
the people from watered stock," and
for "refusing to rescue the wealth
producing from spoliation at the hands
of the speculators and stock gamb-
lers."
Mr, Haskell's record in Ohio as a
manipulator of railroad stocks an*!
bonds was a cause of melancholy to
every person who bought the stocks
and bonds. More than $3,000,000 In
bonds was Issued on the Lima &
Northern railroad of Ohio; other large
issues of stocks and bonds were made
on other railroads, and all the rail-
roads aire now in the hands of re-

W. J. Bryan has forgotten to give
his most intimate adviser and tutor
in modern up to date politics—Gov. C
N. Haskell—a "trial by a Jury of h'.s
peers." Consequently the governor is
persistent in demanding this inalien-
able right of president Roosevelt. The
fact is the governor has been tried
before the bar of public opinion anl
found wanting and branded as a de
faulter of good citizenship upon bis
own statements aud admission®
Mr. Bryan struck the keynote In
the speech of acceptance: "Shall tho
people rule: or, shall the represents,•
tlvoG of predatory wealth prey upon
a defenseloss public?' Are the mini 5-
tratlons of Mr. Haskell through his
stock Issues to be regarded as a pre-
dacious assault upon the "defenseless"
public, or may it be assumed that be-
cause the lenders of mopey in the
first instance were only Wall street'

their family physicians, suffering, as they

and in this way they present alike to

his pills and potions. In reality, they are*
