To (he Voters of (he Thin
Conirenslonel District
In announcing as s' candidate
for Representative in Congress
from the Third Oklahoma Dis
trict subject to the action of the
Democratic voters st the pri
marv to btf held August 2nd
1910 I desire to give to the vot-
ers an opportunity to learn for
themselves who I am and to
judge for themaelvea of my abil
ity and fitness to serve them
I was born on a farm near
Gaylesville Alabama September
21st 1804 and resided there un
til 1880 then moved West with
my father to Conway Arkansas
where we again engaged in farm
ing for several years' I attended
the High School at Vllonia Ark
working mornings and evenings
to pay my board and tuition and
taught school during the sum
mer montna After leaving the
the High School at Vllonia I at
tended the Academy at Green
brier Ark and in April 1889
began the study of law and ac-
cepted a position in the law office
of Colonel C W Bruce in Con
way and on the 14th day of Feb
ruary 1890 1 was admitted to
practice law by the Circuit Court
n Faulkner County Arkansas
In October 1890 I came to the
Indian Territory stopping at
Vian Oklahoma and worked on
a farm picking cotton and doing
other farm labor November 7th
: 890 I reached Muskogee and
on the 11th day of November
900 was admitted to practice
aw in the United States Court
: or the Indian Territory
In July 1892 I was married to
Gulielnaa Ross of Tahlequah
ndian Territory a citizen by
blood of the Cherokee Nation
and in February 1893 moved to
Vinita Indian Territory where
" have resided ever since
I was elected and served fou r
years in the Cherokee Legisia
ture two years of which time
was Speaker being the only in-
termarried citizen who ever held
that position December 25th
898 my wife died leaving me
with three minor children I
took an active part in the organi-
zation of the Democratic party
n 1892 aud was elected a mem
ber of the first Democratic Exe-
cutive Committee in the Indian
'erritory
June 15th I was married to
Byrd Ironside a Shawnee by
blood and a citizen of the Chero-
tee Nation
Was elected and served as a
member of the Sixtieth Con
gress from the Third Congres-
sional District of Okiahoma and
was the party nominee in 1908 for
re-election but was defeated in
the November election
In making this campaign I
realize that within the limited
time between now and August
2nd 1910 it will be impossible
for me to meet all of the Demo-
cratic voters and I take this
method of expressing to them
my profoundest thanks for their
support in the past and of solicit-
ing their support in the coming
campaign I could not make
this announcement without ex-
pressing to them my apprecia-
tion of their loyal support that
has heretofore been given me in
the past campaigns and I feel
it a duty I owe to the voters of
this District to express myself
fully on all questions in which
they are interested and in doing
so I want to say that as a citizen
of this grand State no one class
of citizens can array themselves
against another and I feel that
I have had sufficient experience
from the time I spent as a farm
hand school teacher lawyer and
in other commercial enterprises
to know that whenever the inter-
est of the farmer is neglected
that each and every other inter-
est is likewise injured I am a
firm believer in the principles of
Democracy and believe ttiat
prosperity and happiness of the
great mass of citizens are best
secured in the principles em-
bodied in the Democratic teach-
ings and should I be favored
with the nomination of tho Dem-
ocratic party to Congress and be
elected I pledge my undivided
support to all questiohs affecting
the interest of the people of my
State and I shall use all means
in my power to secure to the con-
sumer of the United States a re-
duction in the price and cost of
living and a modification or a re-
peal of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff
Law enacted at the first Session
of the Slxty-fisst Congress
There are many Important
laws that should be enacted and
put In force by our National Con-
gress all of which will be fully
discussed by me during the cam-
paign I respectfully soliolt the sup-
port of the Demoorstio voters at
the primary

EFFICIENT
Pioneer Telephone and Telegraph Co
A Sound Business Proposition
How the State of Oklahoma Can Build its Capi-
tol Without a Cent of Direct Taxation
It can buy 2000 acres of land near Oklahoma City at $300
per acre
The cost will be $600000 '
It can reserve 40 acres for capitol purposes
This will leave 1960 acres
Each acre will plat into eight lots
This will make 15680 25-foot lots
Each lot will sell for $300
This will make a total of $4704000
The commissions at 10 percent on the lot sales will be $470-
400 Other expenses may amount to $100000-
It can pay back to the State Treasury the $600000
This will leave a net balance of $3533600
You would give $300 for one of the lots wouldn’t you?
The net balance would pay for an elegant Capitol
It would not cost anybody anything except the people who
bought the lots
THE INDUSTRIAL COMPANY OF OKLAHOMA CITY
RAISED A LARGE SUM OF MONEY- TO PAY THE
PACKING HOUSE BONUSES
On May 19 1909 it bought 570 acres of land
They cost $185000 or $325 per acre
It was platted into 4388 lots
Lots numbering 2274 have been sold for the sum of $632
70750
This paid the bonus of $400000 for the Packing Plants
It repaid the investment of $185000
There is a cash balance on hand of over $18000
There remains 2114 lots to be sold at the book price of $528-
500 And acreage price of these was $97733 54
Some of the lots sold for $125 most of them sold for a larger
sum
Would you prefer a lot in Packlngtown to one near the Cap-
itol of the state?
If mo the capitol lots would be worth more than Packlngtown
lots and sell for larger sums of money
The Packiugtown proposition was a success been use the ad-
dition of the packing houses ttrbklahoma City made a de-
mand for more residence lots
The Capitol location proposition will he a success for the
reasoh that the location of the Capitol in Oklahoma City
would create an additional and far greater demand for a
choicer class of bts and they would be sold to supply that
necessity
Will the people of Oklahoma cast aside facts and figures such
as these listening to the cry of Guthrie “to wait a little
longer” permitting an opportunity thus afforded to be de-
layed until it is too late and they are required to tax them-
selves for the purpose of erecting a suitable state house?
We think not— that is If they know beans when the bag is
open— Adv
