"Bill" Alexander has adopted what we charge to be a
system of delusion. In brief this new plan is as follows:
He sends an agent into a county to copy from the tax
rolls the names and amounts of taxes paid by Democratic
voters. These addresses are then employed in mailing out
the following post-card:
"TAX NOTICE"
Dear Sir: You are hereby notified that from the coun-
ty tax rolls that your taxes for 1917 on were
% ; Of this amount you paid as state taxes 5
"If the gross production tax on oil is reduced 1 per
cent your state taxes on this property ^"7"
if the 3 per cent oil tax is repealed your state tax will be
increased $ A higher state levy will cause
this increase. Do you want to bear a heavier tax burden to
favor the wealthy ofl P*w^raj u J* JJjJL v °T ANdT

- K In brief, the delusion lies in these facts, apparent to
any man who takes time to give the card careful study:
l^_It is,so headed as to first impress the voter re-
ceiving it tluft it ia#£ oficial "tax notice" from a local eojjp-
' tw official. * ~ •

by the records copied, thus holding the attention of the
reader to the misleading figwes that follow
3 —It purports to state as a fact what no living man
can even Ml-the amount of oil that will be produced
in Oklahoma*® year or any year. Any thinking man
realizes that#e production ol oil is mere speculation, and
can afford nofbnservsltive basis for figuring valuation upon
which to assumes full responsibility to pledge
every candidate for Governor: Robertson, Gault, Davis,
Durant, Murray and McCollister alike—to a repeal, or a re-
duction, of the gross production oil tax. As a matter of
fact—well known to Alexander and every other thinking
man—none of these candidates favors a reduction or a re-
peal of such a tax. ' . . ..
5_It is patent on its face that Alexander is studiou3-
ly attempting to mislead, and to misrepresent the position
of everyone of hjs opponents in this r«*pect. It mwt nat-
urally be aasumarf that he is appeal^ to the prejudices in-
stead of the reason of Oklahoma voters. ^ ^ ?

Political Judases Condemned
Oklahoma City Trades and Labor Council Exposes Those
Who Had Endeavered to Mislead Labor
and the Public
The Central Trades and Labor Council in its regular
weekly meeting Thursday night, July 18, expressed vig-
orous and bitter denial of the statement issued a few days
ago after a meeting of the Oklahoma City painters' union,
attacking the candidacy of Judge J. B. A. Robertson for
Governor. The following resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, there is an erroneous impression gaining
ground throughout the state that organized labor has con-
demned the candidacy of J. B. A. Robertson for Governor,
and,
WHEREAS, such impressions were brought about by
the hired hirelings of thofee opposing Robertson who by un-
fair tactics secured the passage of a resolution by a single
union in Oklahoma City, and
WHEREAS, any such action could only have official
significance when passed by the State Federation of Labor
in convenljon assembled, or the executive board of the fed-
eration. and
: WHEREAS, wide publicity has been given the resolu-
tion by printed circulars and publication in unfriendlv news-
papers to Jtodge Robertson, tlie same having headed the
resolution by the caption, "Labor Condemifs Robertson,"
> when ib realty they klilw it was9 only the action of one
union, and
WHEREAS, the Oklahoma City Trades and Labor
Council has an agreement with the Buildings Trades De-
partment and the affiliated unions, that no action of any
nature be taken where all labor is concerned, onlv by the
central body, thereby proving conclusively that if the au-
thors of the resolution had desired that the document be
fully considered by the representatives of labor they would
have presented it to the Central Body for action, therefore,
be.it .
RESOLVED, that the statement being circulated by
the paid henchmen df the opponents to Robertson is hereby
condemned by the Central Body as unworthy and beneath
the dignity of labor, and only participated in by the Judases
in the labor movement.
ADOPTED by Oklahoma City Trades and Labor Coun-
cil, representing 30 organizations in Oklahoma City, July
18,1918.
