"Jhe Democratic party in Oklahoma
has chosen Its paramount iasue for the
coming state campaign 1 It haa committ-
ed Itself irrevocably and unconditionally
to Haskellism and from that issue It can
not recede The Democratic atate com-
mittee hhs delegated Governor Haskell to
buckle on his armor and go forth as the
champion of the Oklahoma Democracy
He has responded and is going over the
state exploiting the glory of Haskellism
and telling the people that the present ad-
ministration Is the best and most econ-
' omical In this history - of Oklahoma
‘ With bis Excellency is a large horde of
Democratic aspirants for atate offices
Every one of them Is a defender of his
administration and every one of them bow
humbly at his ' shrine' as a devout
worshipper He will dictate the nomina-
tion of the Democratic state ticket The
Democratic 'state committee has com-
pletely surrendered Its Identity as a factor
and raised the standard of Haskellism
and said by it’s act "By this sign shall
' we conquer" That committee by sur-
rendering has committed the party to
Haskellism ' Every csndldate nominated
on the Democratic state ticket has been
committed to Haskellism even be tors his
nomination by his party organisation or
the power behind It which Is the govern-
or” "Oklahoma Democracy la Haskellism
The Democrat In Oklahoma who is not
Haskell la not a Democrat according to
the decree that hat gone forth Ho
difference whether they like It or not
every one of them who would be regular
mutt meekly hew his head come undkr
1 1
She yoke and "Uck salt" from the govern
j er’s hand The Democratic Insurgents
who have been disposed to rebel agalnot
Haskellism extravgance mismanagement
and general misrule and to follow the
banner of Col Leslie Ross add his insur-
gent knights are to be excommunicated
killed politically and damned after death
The king must have royal subjects In
Oklahoma Democracy Haskell la still
king His subjects still shout “Long live
the king" They cannot get away from
the issue which they made The Haskell
administration has been put forward by
the Democratic leaders as their slogan for
the coming conflict They have chosen
it as their issue and along that line will
will the coming campaign be managed
By sending him out to defend his admin-
issrrtion "In the interests of Democracy"
they have defined their position and com-
mitted themselves to an issue which the
Republicans cheerfully accept”

LISTENS LIKE “ED"
Hair-raising Blood-curdling Sensational
Special Sent Out From Aline Last W?ak
The following weird dispatch was sent
from Aline last week to the Oklahoma
City Times- It "listens" suspioiously like
Ed Merchant who ia known to in be tid-
ing near the Big tree at that place It is
supposed that the chimerical and fanciful
brain of the noted dopester was suffering
from accute enertia and that he re-
lieved the inactivity by unwinding the
story - Following ia the harrowing atory
not a word of which is true as a matter
of course "
Aline Okla May 20— Jane Warfield
a 16-year-old girl rescued' from a band
of religious fanatics twenty-five miles
southwest of Aline' when ebe waa about
to be offered up as a sacrifice to make
blood atonement that the sins of the
world might be forgiven has been brought
here for safe keeping
‘ The sheriff of Dewey county had been
informed that the band of religious en-
thusiasts know aa the Select Followers
had given out that their leader Henry
Heinman had received a revelation from
God that the world would end and the
heavens would be rolled up like a scroll
following the contact of the tail of-the
comet that the only thing that would
avert the disaster was a blood sacrifice
that in order to save the world a sacrifice
had been planned and the lot had fallen
to Jane Warfield
Sheriff Hughes had kept trace of ( their
movements closely and finally determined
that he should be on the scene With a
posse of tlx men he reached the deU in
the Gloss mountains just as the sacrifice
was being prepared and only in time to
rescue the young woman who waa offered
to save the world
The Warfield girl waa clad in' spotless
white with a wreath of white roses about
her head Her hands ' were bound (and
Heinman was standing in front of her
with a long keen hunting knife in his
hand About him were groups of his
followers about forty in all
The Select' Followers believe thpt sin
haa passed from them end that thhCan
handle serpents and drink poison without
evil effects For some time Heinman haa
been telling them in his sermons that the
world would end on the 18th day of May
and the comet now in the sky would
sweep with pestilential gasea across the
earth eliminating all animal lifi
Heinman is a religious fanatic and the
girl who was to be offered as a sacrifice
is his stepdaughter He gave out that he
bad received a revelation that he was to
sacrifice the girl and thus avert the world
calamity Sheriff Hughes has placed the
girl in the hands of safe parties and
Hehnan will be held to await action of
investigating officers 1
The sect of Select Folioweis came into
the neighborhood of their present resid-
ence two years ago led by Heiman who
is said to be from near Leesburg and a
graduate of some Ohio university' At
one time he was a disciple of Harmon
the Free Thinker and it is rumored that
many of Harmon’s ideas have been
carried out in the form of worship of the
band headed by Heinman Heretofore
they had been looked upon as harmless
the wildnes of their religious utterances
only being held against them
- It has been lqarned that many of them
had several weeks ago burned much of
their personal belongings because the
world waa to end with the contact of the
comet's tall
