Key is Sweeping the State
- Geo D’ Key is sweeping tbe
state for the office of Attorney
General subject to the will of
democrats August 2 Oklahoma
has a chance to get a man of
courage ability and Judicial
balance in that office by voting
for Mr Key on August 2
The state has been put to
enormous expense and not only
lost heavy court costs but her
people will pay heavy tribute
possibly for years running into
the millions to the railroads in
increased passeoger and freight
charges because the present At-
torney General had not the
energy courage and ability to
gather the evidence available
against the corporations show-
ing thdir earuings and actual
valuations It is not so much
- Judge Hook’s bias in favor of
the railroads as West’s failure to
make his case in court If the
Standard Oil was wrong 75000
worth it was wrong in toto and
should have been held fully re-
sponsible fined and dissolved as
lias been dope in Missouri Ten-
nessee and Texas during West’s
term of office in Oklahoma
Graham is no better He is
one of the old hangers on who
met behind closed doors in
Guthrie and apportioned out the
offices among themselves thus
introducing the rotary system of
office contrary o the letter and
spirit of the constitution
Key is a manly democrat of
ability and integrity who will
forget himself in tbe interest of
all the people and the good of
the public service A vote for
him is a vote for good govern-
ment good citizenship good
politics and pure democracy —

THE OKLAHOMA BOOK
COMPANY PLAYING
SAFE
Oklahoma City July 20 — Oue
thing is evident in the present
race for State Superintendent
— and that is the fact thatyhe
Oklahoma Book Company is
playing safe by doing all in its
power to nominatqjboth-a demo-
crat and a republican candidate
for the office — Rev Cameron and
J E Dyche J B Mosely who
owes the controlling interest in
the Oklahoma Book Company
was Rev Cameron’s manager
and financial backer in his first
race for State Superintendent
and in return for these services
the Oklahoma Book Company
has been given the exclusive
right of all' sales for all text-
books used iu thepublio schools
of the state The more books
the children have to buy the
more books the Book’ Company
will sell The present course of
study which compels thouseof
an unheard number of text-
books was made by Rev Camer-
on He should be held absolute-
ly responsible for it Now Mr
Mosely is said to bear similar
relation to Mr Cameron in this
race and if Rev Cameron is
elected do you believe that his
manager Mr Mosely will per-
mit him to reduce tbe number
of text-books used in the state
and thus cut tbe profit of the
Oklahoma Book Company? Cer-
tainly not j '
’While Mr Mosely is manipu-
lating Uamerou on the Demo-
cratic ticket another of its
stockholders J E Dyche is be-
ing’ pushed as a candidate for
State Superintendent on the Re-
publican ticket
Does any oue believe that the
Oklahoma Book Company will
uot be cared for in the election
of either Rev Cameron or Mr
Dyche? ' J'
The pat ience of the people of
Oklahoma has been tried to the
utmost aud they will place their
stamp of disapproval upon this
business by voting for R H
