IS refined just as intelligent
ladies as any state in the American
Union We believe we have them just
as capable of casting an intelligent
ballot and exercising the right that
this state has given them of the suf-
frage privilege as those who have
tried to direct the political destinies of
the city of Chicago and have come
into our state in swarms to alienate
the fair ones from home ties and their
own firesides to estrange them with
the friends from their youth up sow-
ing seeds of discord in the social fab-
ric of our own state in an endeavor
to divide us against ourselves To
presume on the intelligence of the fair
ladies our Oklahoma land as an
item of barter and trade from 'a polit-
ical or any other standpoint is an in-
sult not only to them but to the entire
citizenry of the state a travesty up-
on justice and the educational insti-
tutions which has given them their
learning and the conscience of right
and wrong In these days of high
speed autos guilded mansions and 5th
street and late hours at the windy
city’s most elaborate cabarets there
may be formed designs on swinging
the electorate of this great state but
the plans around those tables of lux-
ury are Loo far from the grass roots
to spread a great deal with the fav-
orable crop season we have had in
Oklahoma this year Tradition landed
down to us by our illustrious ancestors
is sacredly observed in moral living
and virtuous lives in chaste conduct
and pure motives subordinate to our
scriptual understanding and depen-
dent upon it We are therefore loath
to permit parasite plants which
time become as tares and choke out
the beautiful foliage we have gone
to so much trouble to cultivate
weaken and smother its natural
growth to be transplanted in our own
prolific soil where care and modesty
and culture and education refinement
tradition industry intelligence and
progress have been maintained with
incomparable harmony to bo contam-
inated with a bomb of discord from
the bright lights of Chicago the Eves
of Eden the emissaries of a foreign
tongue the idols of Budda or even
side lights upon a Turkish harem
which might be presented to us at
this time as a tehiptation to quit the
straight and narrow path ‘
Oklahoma women were given the
right of suffrage by popular vote in
this state the majority being a very
decisive one in favor of the amend-
ment and the Monitor believes that
they are capable of deciding for them-

terference at least from representa-
tion of a state where the proposition
was turned down Wo have faith In

Won’t Get In Line and Follow Jef-

Muskigee Okla — October 23rd — -The
“Gore Volunteers” having fol-
lowed their factional colors until they
were furled after the democratic pri-
mary election won’t follow an imita-
tion emblem waved temptingly in their
faces A dozen or more Muskogee
democrats who were supporters' of
T P Gore in the primary senatorial
race and were members of the “Goro
Volunteers” have received letters
from the officers of the “Jeffersonian
Club” asking them to maintain their
solid front against Scott Ferris dem-
ocratic nominee and vote or J W
Harreld in the coming general elec-
tion It is asserted that Republics!!
money is behind the "Jeffersonian”
scheme ' ’
Senator Gore is himself in no wise
connected with the movement but has
offered his services to the national
democratic headquarter to speak
wherever he may be assigned
“Few if any real democrats who
supported Senator Gore frill heed to
these letters” democratic politicians
said yesterday “We held a primary
election a family affair One candi-
date was nominated others were
beaten Now the whole family must
get behind that nominee” they say 1

President will devote the next two

New England and New York after
which he will make a trip to the

Commenting on his Western trip
Mr Roosevelt said that “ there is one
outstanding impression from the trip
that I stressed during my conference
with Governor Cox That it that the
West wants jo be ‘shown The great
majority of the voters are not willing
to make a choice ‘sight unseen’ but
want-to see and size up the candidates
for themselves -
“There is absolutely no question
but that widespread aversion amount-
ing to disgust exists among Repub-
licans of progressive tendencies to-
ward the present reactionary leader-
ship of that party Frankly they do
not like Senator Harding and the Old
Guard and there is a strong leaning
toward Governor Cox and I expect
to see this sentiment crystallized by
the Governor’s swing during the next
few weeks The candidates them-
