WEDNESDAY, AUG. 29, 1917
Senator Gore is playing the
political game to a finish these
days, and of course has some-
thing in veiw for the future,
and that is to be elected again,
and expects to get his support
from the class that are fighting
oar Government and opposing
this war, but if that is his game
he will come up short of his ex-
pectations, as that class of
people will all, sooner or later,
be in the penitentiary, and can-
not vote for him.
that of Germany, and stiil the
people will protest against the
United States going across the
waters and helping the allies to
defeat the Germans.
If you would rather have Ger-
man rule than the present rule
under which we are living, then
keep on cussing about having
to help win this war, and hinder
it every way that you can, and
you may some day be under the
German government
The above statement shows
that one rich man's vote in Ger-
many counts as much as 1000
poor men's votes. Do we want
to live under such a govern-
ment? Certainly we do not,
but we have got to do our part
toward avoiding such a condi-
tion. Let's help win this war
and stop cussing our govern-
ment.
"IF THE UNITED
STATES HAD PRUS-
SIAN ELECTION LAWS
V "Suppose *hc Prussia^. elec-,
an) system were followed iu
electing the Houpe of Repre-
sentatives in the United States.
Here is what would happen: *
The House is composed of 435
members. The multimillion-
aires, like John D. Rockefeller,
J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie,
Vincent Astor and Henry Ford,
would elect one-tnird of the
membership, or 145 congress-
men. These «would represent
the taxpayers of the first class.
The second class of taxpayers
would be made of approximate-
ly 500,000 men in the United
States who are worth $100,000
and up each. They also would
elect a third of the representa-
tion in the House, or 145 mem-
bers. This would leave only the
fcusnairting 145 members "to be
chosen by the great bulk of the
17,000,000 American votres,
composing the taxpayers of the
third class.
Suppose also that the Ameri-
can constitution had not con-
tained a clause providing for
the redistricting and allowing
representation on the basis of
population. Texas, which in
1870 had three votes in the
National House of Representa-
tives, still would have the same
number, though as a matter of
fact her population has increas-
ed six fold since 1870, and she
now is allowed 18. Kansas,
which in 1870 also had three
representatives, still would have
three instead of eight, as at
present."
The above was taken from
the Arkansas Gazette, publish-
ed at Little Rock, of its issue of
August 26. and gives some idea
of what kind of rule we would
be under should we let the Ger-
mans win th*s war. It is plain-
ly seen that the poor man would
have very little to say about
who would be elected, or how
this government should be con-
ducted under such a system as
House for Sale or Trade*

FROM OKLAHOMA STAKE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
State House, Oklahoma Ciiy* Okla.
O
THE SOLDIER BOYS' INTEREST
"One person at home for every man who goes," is the object of
£ movement started among county councils of defense by the
state organization. Each county cojincfl is to get into communi-
cation with every boy in the county whogpes in the draft, and'
if ]x>ssible with'every, one whd has volunteered. The council will
find whether or not the soldier lad has someone at horr.e on whom
he can deoend to fiinvsh him with news of the community, and
on whom he can depend to attend to whatever business interests
he may leave behind. If he does not have such a person, the
county council will find a man or woman to volunteer for this ser-
vice "for the duration of the war, or until prevented by other
service."
The address of the county council executive committee is to
be furnished each lad, so that he can send requests of any kind
to them while he is in training camp or on the battlefield. It will
be the duty of the county council to meet the Soldier lad's, re-
quests as far as possible. * ' v ' < *

A PATRIOTIC SPEAKERS' BURBA^ w
More than fifty of the. leading men of the state h^ye joined
the "Oklahoma Patriotic Speakers' Bureau," organized, through
the council of defense. Through this organization, the men a-
gree to go anywhere in Oklahoma at any time pos'siblbe for them
to do so and deliver patriotic addresses to citizens on "Why we
are in the war, and the part each citizen must play in helping to
win it.
Headed by Governor Williams, the list includes the names of
the best known men of public ^£e in Oklahoma. The list will be
furnished to county councils oi defense. When county councils
desire to hold patriotic meetings, they will signify their prefer-
ence of speakers, send them in to the state council. thgn the
dates will be made through the c^itral bureau. Due to the
fact that speakers will be donating freely of their time, county
councils will be asked to offer them their traveling expenses.
The state council now stands ready to provide speakrs any-
where in the state.
"Every man who attempts to obstruct 4ie work of the Govern
ment in lhis time of National Peril stands with a stiletto at
the back of each lad who is preparing to fight for his country.
From patriotic address by Brigadier General Roy Hoffman.
O
riding across 3,000 miles of sea to fight for their country, that
we ask the speculator in the necessities of life to let up just a
little bit on their wives and loved ones?"—From%peech by Con-
gressman Scott Ferris.

COUNTY COUNCILS RAISE FUNDS
County councils of defense are now raising funds with which
to cany on the organization of this state so that it can do its
full share in helping "win the war." The state council of de-
fense has called upon each county to raise a set amount, which
is to be in the hands of the board by Sept. 10.
An exact account of the amounts subscribed by each individual
is to be furnished to the state Council, which will acknowledge
receipt. The governor will recommend to the next legislature
that those woh advance funds be reimbursed. This method of
raising funds in the emergency's necessary on account of the
fact that fhe legislature was not in session when war was declared

THE SCHOOL AND THE NATION
The people id France realize that the future of the nation de-
pends upon their educating today's boys And girls. Stories from
near the front tell of schools being kept, even in regions where
children must be provided with gas masks against possible air
attacks. Leaders throughout the country are appealing to Amer-
ican mothers and fathers to keep their children in school, from
the grades through college, just as long as is possible for them

CO-OPERATIVE DELIVERIES
Retailers in many cities of Oklahoma are following the re-
quests of the federal authorities in establishing co-operative de-
livery services. The purpose of the change is to release for oth-
er work the several thousand men in the country who are now-
duplicating each other's efforts in delivering goods.
Housewives of Oklahoma are asked to co-operate in every way
possible with the movement. Co-operative delivery throughout
the country will mean that, in this state alone, several score of
men will be released for service elsewhere, the merchant will be
spared a needless large expense, and ultimately the consumer
will pay a little less for the goods.
The purchaser should carry small packages home.

"Here in America and there in Russia, German propaganda is
seeking to sap the strength of a free democracy.
"German money is buying men and inspiring the press here
an'l there to build up a great concealed structure of treason.
"Here and there are sentimentalists who, while speaking for
pcace and justice, are lending themselves to- the greatest enemy
of peace and justice.
"Here and there are men who procalim their conscience and
sell their country.

within let these men beware."—Elihu Root. Chairman American
