Kiowa County
'Democracy
I do WAnt to say a word to the
I'emocrats of Kiowa county. In
the first election we gave Bill
Cross a majority of About four
hundred. In the next election we
gave FrAnk MAtthews About four
hundred And twenty-five. In the
next election they cut up our
county. And in the north end we
elected Mr. Tr.gh by a majority
of 343; the majority all over the
county was about two or three
hundred, making the increase
something like two or six hun-
dred majority in genera! and this
too, when one part of the county
was in a fight among themselves,
between McMillan and ' audill,
lost it entirely and that part went
Republican when it should have
gone Democratic by a nice nr.a-
jority, but anyhow, we saved the
entire county over this disaster
and brought it an increase of
nearly 'WO majority. And last
fail when the fate of the state
was in the balance, when men
had to declare themselves, once
and forever, the grand old coun-
ty of Kiowa gave the constitution
an immense majority And ChAS.
N. Haskell, oandidate for gov-
ernor, 1.0H0 majority. And this
fall when the friend of the peo-
ple is running, when the relief
must come from the Democratic
pArty, I wAnt them to stand true
in Kiowa oounty and give Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan at least 1000
majority We ought to do it.
He has been the friend of the I
people more than any other man
and he believes in Oklahoma and
in her great future. 1 want to
see him cot this majority from
our county. It makes no differ-
ence to me, personally, but 1
want to see William Jennings
Bryan receive a splendid major-
ity. 1 want to sae the Democrat-
ic majority in our oounty go
higher and higher and to do this
we must all get out and worK and
vote. It is our first election; let
us make it a noteworthy one. And
let us At leAst give WilliAm J.
Bryan 1000 majority; nothing
else, no smAller amount, will
treAt Kiowa county justly and
fAirly. Let us all stand together
here and let us work together for
the benefit of the common people
and let us be noted for the earn-
est effort to make Kiowa county
the greatest county in the state
of Oklahoma, a staunch, noble
and grand Democratic county,
and by a majority that is so large
that there is no chance for the
other side.
I atn going to Guthrie and this
is probably the last word thAt I
can say to you before the eam-
Whereas, We are now witness-
ing the closing days of a pres-
ident al campaign in which lead-
ing personalities are being made
the leading issues by the Repub-
lican party, which are the great
reforms demanded by the Dem-
ocratic party in its plAtform.
whereas, We have observed
' that the {'resident of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt, sur
rendered the dignity of thAt high
' office to mingle in wArd politics
and attack the character of one
of the leading reformers of the
United States, Hon. C. N. Has-
kell, by distorting the truth and
misrepresenting facts and con-
necting the said C. N. Haskell's
name with the pedatory weAlth
of the nAtion which the president
himself hAs so ably represented;
thus rendering the said Theodore
Roosevelt unworthy of the con
fidence and respect of the Amer
ican people.
Whereas, The charges which
the president hAs made agAinst
the Hon. C. N. Haskell, governor
of the state of OklahomA, Are
practically the same chArges
that were made against him in
the gubernatorial campaign and
so ably presented to our people
by the tools of Roosevelt—Taft,
Hunter, Frantz and others.
Said charges were tried before
a jury of 200,000 voters of the
state of Oklahoma, who decided
with their ballots thi t the said
C. N. Haskell was wholly inno-
cent of the charges made.
Whereas, The charges made
ac&inst the Hon. C. N. Haskell
by the president of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt,
should be denounced as mali-
cious, vicious and brutal, inspir-
ed by the rebukes administered
him and his tools by the voters
of the state of Oklahoma in 1907.
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we brand The-
odore Roosevelt as a person un-
worthy the confidence of the
American people. Be it further
Itesolvtd, That we, the Demo
crate of Kiowa county, heartily
and unqualifiedly endorse all the
acts of the Hon. C. N. Haskell as
governor of the state of Oklaho-
ma. Be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be forwarded to Gov.
C. N. Haskell and to the press of
the state.

Murder Case
Called
Martin Speight Charged
with Murdering
Ernest Strain
The second murder case on the
docket of the present term of the
district court was called Wednes-
day morning. The facts leading
up the death of Ernest Strain are
fresh in the minds of many of
our citizens. As a result of tak-
ing the law into his hands. Mar-
tin Speight may spend the best
part of his life behind prison bars |
and have many a cay to think
ever the facts which led up] to
his taking the life of a fellow be-:
ing. Speight was harassed Jand
tormented by the boys in his
neighborhood, near Roosevelt,
day alter day until he had be-
come morbid. Feeling that he
had the riiiht to resent these
, bovish pranks, he took his shot
gun and as the toys were riding
by shot Ernest Strain in the
back. A hundred or more wit-
nesses have been called in the
case and the court room is filled
continuously during the trial.
The defense will oe in charge
ot Senator O'Dell of Texas,
Judge Keys and Tom Conner of
Hobart. County Attorney H. L.
Standeven will be assistel by
Oscar Simpson and Judges Car-
penter and Hayes. A number of
witnesses have testified up to
date but the trial is hardly be
gun. Much interest is manifest-
ed in the case and the ooneensua
of opinion is that the state will
get a verdict.

Social equality seems to be the
last card to be played by the Re
publican party in Oklahoma be
fore its final extinguishment. In
a desperate effort to turn the ne-
gro vote to their standard bear
ers, the managers of the congres
sional campaigns in the First and
Third congressional districts have
permitted their candidates to in-
dulge in the most disgusting con-
duct ever witnessed in Oklahoma,
conduct that had no precedent,
even in the old carpet-Dag regi-
me. Congressman McCJuire, in a
speech to negroes at Shiloh,said:
"I have always been taught that
the negro is as good as the white
mar., if he behaves himself, and
the white man is as good as the
negro, if he behaves himself1"
G. E. Greager, Republican op-
ponent of Congressman Daven-
port in the Third aistrict, follow-
ing the example of President
Roosevelt, has the nerve to eat
with a negro in public. A few
days ago Greager was at Taft,
Oklahoma, campaigning. He
entered a hotel with ArchieJones,
a notorious negro politician of
Muskogee, and sat down at a
table. H.M.Vance, station agent
at Taft, resenting the insult,
raose from his seat, rebuked both
Greager and Jones and indig-
nantly left the table. In reply to
a letter asking if these facts were
true, the station agent writes:
Taft, Okla., Sept. 26, 190^.
Dear Sir:—Mr. Creager and a
negro did cjme in the dinii g
room and sat down at the table
where 1 was eating, but did not
eat with me, for 1 immediately
left the table, but not befoJe I
had given my opinion to both of
them. Mr. Creager and his ne-
gro finished their meal together,.
and both seemed to enjoy it im-(
mensely. Yours truly,
Roy P. Dokris.
It is reported that Dick T.Mor-1
gan, Republican opponent ot1
Congressman Fulton, last week
assured several negroes that he
opposad the Jim Crow law'and
did not approve of the separation ,
of the races in either schools or^
on railways. I
