What caused the American
Revolution5 How did it hap-
pen that American colonists
outnumbered and ont-nunned
by one of the world's "super-
powers” were able to tear

pean rule and set out on a new
course in a free world5
Olmousk there had to be
a revolution in men's nnnds
Not till colonists wanted in-

America whu h wanted to stav

Some historians believe the
Revolution was largclx
brought on hv skillful writers
and propagandists such as
Tom I’aine and John Qiiiik

but could not art ic n late
These propagandists writing
m a small number of news-
papers converted men into
here patriots and helped to
weld the far-flung colonies
into one great social move-
ment James Franklin publisher
of the New England Couruit
was one of the first of these
editors to kick up the traces
About 1720 he resisted cen-
sorship bv the colonial gov-

his stirring words were pulv

These are the times
that trv men’s souls The
summer soldier and the

this c risis shrink from the
service of their countrv
but he that stands it NOW
deserves the love and
thanks of man and wom-

we have this consolation
with us that the harder
the conflict the more glo-
rious the triumph What
we obtain too cheap we
esteem too lightly it is
dearness onlv that gives
everv thing its value
Heaven knows how to
put a proper price upon

lie strange indeed if so

HIS OPPONENT:
Go v Bartlett was the No 1 promoter and agi-
tator for the recent constitutional convention
You know how dangerous this could have
been to rural Oklahoma
Gov Bartlett vetoed HB 1195 which would
have outlawed big corporations taking over
farms and ranches in Oklahoma
Gov Barlettt vetoed the free kindergarten
bill which would have been paid for by the
liquor tax
As a state senator he voted:
Against exempting fertilizer from the sales tax
- Against forming a Wheat Commission
Against a loan fund for needy students
While a state senator Gov Bartlett authored
SB 310 (in 1963) to increase property taxes
in urban and rural areas millions of dollars
annually
Is Bartlett truly a friend
of Rural Oklahoma?
