As the election draws near the
republicans should realize that
the efforts of the democratic pap-
ers is only a ruse to divide the
party and thereby accomplish
their desire of electing a demo-
cratic ticket. It is somewhat a-
musing to a person that is just a
little posted to read the laborious
articles in the democratic papers
—wondering how the republicans
can support this man and that
one, and giving their reasons—
that he is not a progressive, and
so on.
Their greatest efforts are put
forth in attacking McGuire and
in trying to prove that he is not j
a progressive, when it is due to j
his progressive ideas and hardj
work that Oklahoma received a'
the reckless administration that
the democrats have given the
state in the last five years that
they have been in power in the
state.
As u the county assessor, the
republics in candidate, €. S. Davis
is a farmer and is well posted in
the value of all kinds of stock
and land, and his experience in
asessing his home township for
four years gives him a record that
will be beneficial to the taxpayers
of the county Mr. Davis's idea of
appointing his deputies from the
districts which they will assess
will be in keeping, wit h the wishes
of the people who will elect him.
It is hardly possible that a man
who has spent his life in business
in town is as capable of placing
right values on the property of
the farmer as the man who has
had experience in that line.
The county clerk is aii office
that has to do with the most of
the business of the county coin-
gift of $5,000,000 from the Na-j missioners, and is an office that
tional government for the benefit should be in the hands of a man
of the school children of thestate : that understands business and
and which was sent to the state I that is a taxpayer and is inter-
for the express purpose of help- csted in the affairs of thecounty
ing to educate the children, and otherthan that of drawing his
the additional school land that salary. lu< -barley Ksheluuin. the

from that fund to pay the expen-
res of handling.
The large financial interests
have asked Secretary McVeagh
to loan them $2,000,000 of the
government's money at 2°|0, and
they will loan it to the poor peo-
ple at 5 °!0, and will give the dif-
ference in the interest back to
the Republican Campaign fund,
to help elect Taft.
The land in Oklahoma produced
in 1911, at the rate of $3 25 - per
acre. Congress gave Oklahoma
1,045,541.75 acres of land for ed-
ucational purposes, which should
have yielded $3,398,010.69 in-
come. But instead, the lands
were so managed that the gross
revenue for 1911, was £3,304.84,
or less than l. of $0.01 per acre.
The same year there was levied
As to the national part of the
ticket, the republicans of Paw-
nee county along with the rest
of the republicans of the state,
by a substantial majority, select-
ed the men whom they desired to
represent them in the electoral
college, and as the fundamental
principles of the republican par-
ty is. that the majority shall and
should rule, the republicans are
not to be led to believe that they
are not supporting psogressive i-
deas when thej are supporting
the republican ticket, especially
when the democratic candidate
for president can show nothing
to his credit that is progressive;
but to the contrary. His record
shows that until a recent time he
has always stood in the interest
of the corporations and those who
employed others to work for them
and he believes in two classes—
one class to be the educated and
ruling class, and the other he be-
lieves should have only education
enough to make them intelligent
enough to do their work in an ef-
ficient* manner that they may be
profitable to their employers. As
to the legislative candidates in
Pawnee county and all other
counties of the state, they show
their progeessive tendencies when
they declare for a reduction in
the number of state and county
officers and stand squarely against
I "Stanley Minister's stand on

| eopleof thestate are right, and j
upon those issues he should and i
no doubt will 1 m' elected as t he
representative of the people of
Pawnee county on the otli of
November. He stands squarely
on the republican platform that
the people of Oklahoma have
been roblied long enough in the
name of education. His stand on
the combination of the agricul-
ture schoois and other siualler
colleges and in favor of consolid-
ated district schools is oile that
will suit tlie voters of Pawnee
county. Mr. Edinistcr stands for
an honest government, and with
an honest government the peo-
ple will l>e relieved.of the great er
part of the big taxes that they

statehood. He does not claim
that he can accomplish this u-
lone, "but with the help of the
other members of the legislature
will do so unless balked by those
democrats who happen to l e e-
locted and by the holdover dem-
ocrats in the senate. It you .'ire,
not satisfied with things as they
are,you should vote for the re-
publican nominees for the legis-
lature.
a record so straight and in the in-
terest of the taxpayers that "e
would only be wasting time and
space in going over that record at
this time. Suffice it to say, that
we stand as ah endorser of then-
record, to a mati. But we do want
at this time to call the attention
of the voters to the republican
candidates who are not now in of-
fice, but are asking for your vote.
The first man we have in mind is
J. A. McCollum, republican can-
didate for county attorney. Mr.
McCollum has been in Pawnee
County now for over a year, com-
ing to this county from Missouri
and bringing with him recom-
mends from such men as Govern-
or Hadley and others, as to his a-
bility. His record in this county
has been of the best, and his a-
bility no man can say aught a-
gainst. As a christain and tem-
perance man, he stands among
the foremost in the county, and
if honesty and staight-forward-
ness count for anything, the elec-
tion of J. A. McCollum to the of-
fice of county attorney will put
the countv in the fore-rank of the.
counties of the state.
(political adv.)
The Farmers Free List Bill was
voted against by McGuire. be-
cause it put Okla. products in
competition with the cheap pro-
ducts of Argentina and other old
countries wh?re lh^ cost of pro-
duction is not nearly so high as it
is in this country. The benefit
which will accrue to the Oklaho-
ma farmer by having that bill in
force, would be more than ovei-
balanced by the reduction on the
price on our meat products.
Do you know that the last year
the Democrat commissioners were
in office that they spent in .six
months all hut $1,000 of the mon-
ey levied to run the county a year?
But it is a fact.
It would be useless for us to try
to say anything for the repub-
lican boys that are now in office, >
because their record is an open
book and is so easy to read, and
The Governor's office, under
the republican Territorial admin-
istration cost the state $4,500.
Under Democratic State adminis-
tration. the Governor's office
costs the taxpayers $49,000. or a
sum of $43,000 more than it did
during republican territorial rule.
The cost of all other state offices
have increased in a like proportion
Is it any wonder that taxes are
high?
