RUSSELL BRANDS WALTON
AS A DEMAGOGUE
Stigler Sept 30 — To an audience
of Haskell county farmers and their
wives gathered in the district court
loom this afternoon Campbell Russell
chairman of the state corporation
commission and life-long democrat
declared that the democratic party in
Oklahoma this year is without a nomi-
nee for governor
Walton a Demagogue
Russell branded J C Walton as a
demagogue a socialist and a non-partisan
leaguer who is “running on An
India rubber platform’’ and “talking
bunch of wild promises he knows he
Jnever can fill
“I make these statements knowing
I am standing in front of the most
vicious steam roller Oklahoma has
ever seen” Russell explained “It is
operated by the muscle but not by the
brains of friends A set of political
anugwumps from North Dakota is
furnishing the brains
“However you never yet have seen
'Campbell Russell fight from cover or
hit below the belt I’m here today
talking about principles and I intend
to speak plainly”
“I have been advised that my res-
ignation as a democrat would be ac-
ceptable to some members of the
party There is no doubt that some
of those blood suckers would be glad
to have it However there will be a
jgood bit of fur flying before they suc-
ceed in putting me overboard from
the democratic ship
He’s a Free Man Now
nA democ-Ht advised me the other
day that I should not ruin myself by
Braking these' talks over the state He
told me I should stick dose to the
party
"I never thought a democrat had
to vote "for a ’demagogue to prove his
democracy The democratic party in
Oklahoma has no nominee for gover-
nor so my democracy cannot be pre-
destined by the way I cast my ballot
in the coming election"
"While Mayor Walton is running
around over the state making wild
promises his headquarters is winking
oae eye and saying to those who ob-
ject to such campaign methods: 'Oh
Jack doesn’t mean what he says
After we get hiss elected he ean ex
primary Ton people know this has
been done
“The Gang" Sticks Around
“You have heard that Walton is a
poor man that he sqeezes every quar
ter that comes into his hands like a
pauper Yet he never has replied to
my letter in which I asked him how
he managed to purchase $28600 worth
of building and loan stock in the past
two years” Russell declared that
“the most 'predominate element of the
present reprehensible state adminis-
tration” has flocked loyally to the
Walton standard “You’ll find that
hanging around Walton's headquart
ers all the time” he advised “and if
Walton is elected they will all be tak-
en care of
“Consider Governor Robertson him-
I self he stated on numerous occasions
I that he doesn’t care what becomes of
the rest of the ticket just so Walton
is elected The governor knows what
he is talking about he knows Walton
is the only one that can exercise the
pardoning power after he steps out
“I predict to you now that if the
I democratic party of Oklahpma doesn’t
scrape off a few barnacles from the'
ships sides and if it doesn’t oust the
reds in the party it has no future that
I anyone can be proud of”
THINGS WORTH WHILE
Don’t ask “Has the world been a
friend to me?”
But “Have I to the world been
true?”
’Tis not what you get but what you
give
That makes life worth while to you
’Jis the kind word spoken to the little
child
As you wiped its tears away 1
And the smile you brought to some
careworn face
That really lights your day
I Tis the hand you clasp with an hon-
est grasp
That gives you a hearty thrill
’Tis the good you pour into other lives
That comes back your own to fill
’Tis the dregs you drain from anoth-
er’s cup
That makes your own seem sweet
And the hours you give to your broth-
er man
That makes your life complete
’Tis the burdens you help another bear
That makes your own seem light
’Tis the danger seen for another’s feet
That shows you the path to right
’Tis the good you do each passing day
With a heart sincere an5 true
For throw the world your very best —
Its best will return to you
— Mabel Brown Denison
STATS HEALTH NOTES
Dr A R Lewis Commissioner
At the present time Diptheria is
quite prevalent in different parts of
the state and it is my desire to im-
press oq the people "the pecessity of
watching with great care all cases of
sore throat among the children '
' Death from Diptheria usually indi-
cates a neglect on somebody’ part
If promptly recognized or suspected
and antitoxin is given at once in suf-
ficiently large doses it can be success-
fully treated and cured This is the
only dependable method we have for
treating diptheria and no other should
be submitted
Because antitoxin is not adminis-
tered soon enough or parents do not
consult a physician oon enough or
the physician does not recognize or
suspect diptheria early enough and
consequently does not administer to
the patient antitoxin at once are the
main causes of the great mortality of
diptheria patients
Diptheria antitoxin neutralized dip-
theria toxin (the poison excreted by
the diptheria bacillus) as acid neu-
tralizes alkali' However after the
toxin has had an opportunity to dam-
age the body tissues it is as useless to
inject antitoxin as it ia to pour water
on the ashes of a burned house
The following pronounced symp-
toms should lead parents to suspect
diptheria in a child
A severe sore throat with small or
large grey or white patches These
patches may appear not only on the
tonsils but also on the uvula the
small rounded end of the palate which
hangs down on the tonsils When
there is a membrane on the uvula the
disease is almost certain to be dip-
theria The glands in the neck may
be quite large and feel painful when
touched the patient may also be fev-
erish and delirious
Diptheria is usually more prevalent
in the late fall and winter months
however an epidemic once started may
continue regardless of the season
Before antitoxin was used one out
of every three children who had the
disease died Now if antitoxin is
used at once that is to say the first
or second day ninety-eight out of
every hundred cases recover There-
fore my advice is to use antitoxin as
soon as possible
SOCIALISTS WORKING
AMONG NEGROES AT BEGGS
S M Gibson tinsmith and candi-
date for congress on the socialist
ticket in the second district and J
S Roper another Okmulgee county
socialist held a secret meeting be-
hind closed doors in the A R Reed
hall in Beggs Monday night which
was attended by about foity negroes
according to report of one of those
present' and who asked that his name
be held In confidence
According to report Roper stated
that it was the purpose of him and his
socialist colleague in conjunction
with the state socialistic organization
to form clubs among the “colored
voters” for the purpose of electing
Jcak Walton the democratic nominee
Such clubs he saidwere being form-
ed all over Okmulgee county Each
club would also be pledged to support
S M Gibson Okmulgee socialist for
congress
In substance Roper told the negroes
assembled that the election of Jack
Walton would mean a socialist victory
and that by his election the democrat-
ic party in Oklahoma could be over-
thrown and the Socialists eventually
gain control of the state The negro
republican voters present were given
to understand they could further their
own ends by voting the democratic
ticket for Jack Walton that by so do-
ing the socialists would gain control
and socialistic control would mean the
social equality of the black and white
a repeal of the Jim Crow law in Okla-
homa free text books in the negro
schools and that the only difference
between the whites and blacks in Ok-
lahoma would be the color once the
socialists were in power i
A few of the negroes who had been
huddled into the secret meeting resent
ed the socialist line-up as pictured by
Gibson and Roper and a heated dis-
cussion took place which resulted in
two negroes one the owner of a pros-
perous mercantile business the other
a minister in Beggs leaving the hall
and who stated today that they had in-
tended to vote for Walton but since
being acquainted with the activity of
the socialists in furthering Walton’s
campaign they would now cast their
ballot for Fields — Beggs Independent

Healthy Breathing
We are about to enter upon a very
dangerous season of the year We
shall gather in groups and assemblies
with the windows and doors closed
and there if wo do not watch out
we shall stew and sneeze and cough
into each other enough germs of colds
and grippe and tonsilitis and - dip-
theria and tuberculosis tq fill a grave-
yard We can avoid all this if we know
enough and care enough for each other
and the good of the community A
healthy person is not safe inside of
ten feet of any one snuffing and sneez-
ing and coughing with s cold The
person who has a cpld should realize
what a danger he is to his neighbors
and should keep away from them at
least when he coughs or i sneezes
He really ought to wear a badge of
red to warn the neighbors
Disease germs are thrown off in
the spray which spreads about in the
air when one coughs or sneezes They
float for quite a distance and carry
disease to any healthy person near
enough to breathe the bad air If you
do not believe that this spray is giv-
en off into the air only stand where
the diseased person is between you
and the sun-light and watch when
he sneezes What you can 8ee with
the naked eye are only a few of the
particles which go floating through
the air from the sneezer
If this fall and winter are like those
past we shall have a terrible scourge
of colds and grippe all over the state
They will run through whole schools
and practically every pupil will suffer
Many will lose days of school and
some will go to bed Later the whole
adult life of the c ommunity will suf-
fer in the same way Business and
all social activity will slow down Do
you realize that this is altogether un-
necessary? Is it not time we made
in end of all this needless suffering
and loss? What do you propose t6
do?

plain that after investigating the
situation thoroughly he has decided
he cannot do the things he intended’
“Won’t that be delightful for tile
farmers and the laborers who cast
their votes for him expecting him to
accomplish the impossible tasks he
told them he would?”
Whose Candidate Is He?
“Walton is running oh an India rub I
her platform he is here there and
everywhere flirting with the farmers
the laborers the oil interests and the
bankers To which class will he be
under obligations if he should be
elected? We had just as well use our
brains as we go along and reason
these things out”
“Walton has promised he will not I
double cross any one yet I say to you
men and women that any man who
makes a promise he knows he cannot
'fulfill is a double crosser and in hiq
own heart he knows it
“He expects to go into office by I
mortgaging the state to pay a fifty
million dollar bonus With such a
start as this he would have the state j
owing a hundred and fifty million be-
fore he could be put out
“He tells you this bonus will be
paid by the public service companies
and other corporations and that it
won’t cost you a cent What could
be more fallacious and a more delib-
erate falsehood?”
Another Wild Drepm
“Don’t you people know that every
cent obtained by a public service com-
pany comes out of the pockets of the I
people don’t you know that you must
eventually pay the bonus? His
scheme is only a wild dream of a big
bag of gold”
“I respect a democrat or a republi-1
can or a socialist however I don’t
admire the judgment of a socialist I
give a due measure of respect to the
negro but he is not and never has
been the equal of the white man
Governor Robertson and Jack Walton
may say he is but that doesn’t make
it so' But I have no respect for one
who has no politics and who promises
everything to everybody”
“The corporation commission has I
always given the negro in Oklahoma
his rights but — Russell added that I
accentuation “it has never given him I
the right to register On a vacant lot
so he could register in the democratic
