We have just begun a Political
Campagn in Oklahoma more impor-
tant than any other political contest
ever raged in this state or Territory
With lhe good citizenship of the
tat e of Oklaluimo who believe in
turning all grafters out arrayed in
solid ranks in support of a strong
State and County Republican ticket
composed of honest men with busi-
mass ability we will' at the Novem-
ber Election redeem our fair state
from the thralldon of Demxratic
Mis rule and one man power alas I plead with the intelligent voter
to study the history of Our country
and the political parties in the past
which plainly shows to me that the
Democratic Leaders Politicians and
Office seekers are wholly incompetent
to govern a State or Nation success-
fully and that Republican adminis-
tration 'does mean Prosperity and
businese success to all classes of
of lagitimate busines enterprise
and More especially to the 'Farming 1
and Wage-earning cla-ses
: Wits this introduction present
myself as a candidate for the office
of County Judge on the Republican
1
' ticket and pledge myself for good 1
government and the success of the
ticket
I was born in Ohio in 1872 being
' now 38 years old Ny earlier! life
- 0 wos spent nn a farm and in teaching
school and in Literary Coll(ge work
until 1899 wheal entered the Ohio
Statz Unlyersititas a law student
from whihI Graduated in 1902 and
' was adm:tted to practice law in that
stately the Su'premeCourt in 1902
' 1 Practiced law in Athens county
Ohio putil March 1908 when I con
r duties of good citizenship to support
me for the office of County Judge
If after a full Investigation of my
character ability and qualification to
fill that office you find that I merit
your support and the office If not
vote for the best man for the office
and put him on the R publican
ticket Yours truly

To The Voters
I do not desire to have any
1 part in any difficulty between
' the other candidates for the
office of County Judge but I
believe our Republican papers
should give the news without
favor to any Republican candi-
datt as before the primary we
should stand equal so long as
we stand by our party
I presented the matter this
way to ye editors and they
have kindly consentedto let me
put in a squib on this matter
I wish to state that the candi-
dat3s who took part in the let-
ters recently published are not
the only one for the office of
County Judge as I am a candi-
date for he same office but
have no part in their contro-
versy As to who has the most cases
in Court that is a puestion that
every voter can investigate for
himself if he wishes and I trust
they will do so I will state how
ever (and the records of the
courts will bear me out) that Mr
L H Clark as fel' as I can find
out has had one case in court
during the last term Mr Squires
has had 30 cases in seven yeaas
and I nave now over 40 cases on
This is the truth of the matt-r 1
the voters the truth ag it is and
I Will not abuse the privilege
given me by &Tapers by mak-
ing any personal appeal for
votes
Investigate every candidate
for yourself before vou vote for
any of them and then you
not be to blame if we do not get
the best men in office
Yours for the best men for
every office

Lee Cruce's Open Letter To
Bill Murray
Hon Wm H Murray:
You and your campaign man-
agers continue to circulate over
this State the charge that while
In the banking businesr I charg-
ed usurious rates of interest and
and have repeatedly refered to
me as "Forty Per Cent Cruce"
During our debates I made you
this proposition: You may go in
person and take with you any
reputable banking expert to the
Ardmore National Bank of Ard-
more Oklahoma and examine
the books of that bank and if
you can find one single loan
made by me existing in that
Bank at the time I severed my
connection with it on Jan 1
1910 where the amount of loan
exceeded one hundred dollars
and the time of loan ran for
more than one month that the
rate of discount exceeded ten per
cent per annum I will withdraw
from this race and if you fail to
find such Ican you are to with-
draw This offer will hold good until
the polls close on August 2nd
lours truly
LEE CRUCE
to the people what they will expect
from me if elected to fill the office
Up to the time this letter is written
however I have failed to discover
any like statements of principles
having been made by my opponent
Do you know where he stands upon
these questions that must come be-
lore him if elected? Has he told you
as I have done where he stands with
reference to the enforcement of the
prohibition laws? I am not tryink to
straddle the question and secure the
support cf both sides Is my oppon-
ent? If you will take the trouble to in-
vestigate the matter you will find
that those persons who in the past
have been suspected of violation of
the prohibition law are actively op-
posing my nomination for this office
I did not solicit their support an
will not be saddled with obligations
which will enable that element to
ride me during my term of office if
eleced
If Ion favor my principles as I
haveexplained them in this and a
former letter I will appreciate your
support and vote at the primary next
Tuesday
Respectfully submitted

Business men of the city work to
other: thou of the country act In
dependently These statements are
I true only in a general way The rel
son for the co-operative spirit among
r city business men and the lack of It
e in rural comrnities is not far to
seek The former is constantly deal-
- log with other people his daily work
4 brings him in contact with them in I
' business way This constant relation
0 develops a confidence in his fellow
men that will readily grow into an
organization or association when It is
I 'Iowa that economical results can be
I
obtained On the other band the
I farmer does not deal with men so
y much as he deals with nature and
! with things Ills daily work takes him
to the fields or among his stock or in
:he orchards The major part of his
e Mention is demanded upon the farm
r incidentally he sells his products to
the cityman: occasionally be deals
I with his neighbors but when he deals
t with the city man the conditions are
r made conventional for the tarmer and
there is no initiative demanded on his
t part If he buys grain stock or land
1 or other property from his neighbor
the business relations are the same
P as when the city man deals with his
! patrons but such transactions are so
few that it does not develop in him
that spirit of business confidence
noted in the city man It is therefore
P easily understood why the farmer has
I been the last man to make use of co
Operative enterprises The very con
ditions of his life have kept him from
it He has not been educated to it
and it is folly to assume that he will
with one stroke organize his busi-
ness with that of his neighbor in such
a way as to eliminate much of the
expense and disadvantage he is put
to in carrying on his trade relations
Nevertheless It is essential that the
spirit of co-operation be developed
Organization of almost every kind and
class of commercial business compels
the farmer to organize with his neigh-
bor farmer It must come as a mat-
ter of protection but in order to do
this successfully the farmer must
have confidence In cooperative or-
ganizations lest they fail The confi-
dence can only be developed by be-
ginning in a small way When he re-
alizes that there Is real benefit to be
derived and that it is possible for him
to work together with his neighbors
after some specified plan then he can
undertake larger things but not until
then
It would seem therefore that the
greatest good can be done our rural
communities by encouraging farmers
to organize to carry on their business
In a small way only to start with and
that as their education along this line
Is developed larger undertakings can
be started It would also seem that
any attempt to begin a very compre-
hensive organization one that incurs
a great deal of responsibility from
people who are not accustomed to co-
operative enterprises would not only
be unwise but would ultimately be a
detriment in that their failure is al-
most assured and such failure would
make those participating in the under-
taking as well as others very reticent
about attempting co-operation even in
a small way It is not our purpose
to despise the farmer and exalt the
the city man we only 'wish to en-
courage the former to acquire even
before necessity demands what the
latter has already developed to a con-
siderable degree To fruit growers the
idea should appeal particularly strong
