TEN REASONS
why the
Capitol of Oklahoma
should be
RELOCATED
1. It was moved from Guthrie by fraud and misrepre-
sentation.
2. Oklahoma City promised to build a million dollar
capitol building for the state, to pay the moving expenses,
and to furnish free rent for all state offices. She has fail-
ed to keep a single one of these promises.
3. The State is paying the enormous rental of $40,000
per year in Oklahoma City, and must continue to do so
for many years if the capital remains theTe.
4. Oklahoma City is planning to induce the next leg-
islature to appropriate $1,000,000 out of the pockets of the
taxpayer to start a iapltol building.
5. The people of Guthrie who ask that the question be
submitted have always made good, have never asked for
any other institution, and believing in Justice, honesty and
fairness, have never attempted to build up their city at the
expense of other oities of the state.
6. The City of Guthrie offers the $150,000 Convention
Hall and the $150,000 Logan County Court House to the
State rent free as long as they want them.
7. The State is now practically the owner of a fine
Capitol site at Guthrie, the government having reserved
fourteen acres in tie heart of the city, for Capitol pur-
poses at the creation of Oklahoma in 1889.
8. The City of Guthrie has erected a $150,000 tempor-
ary capitol upon the site reserved for the state, paved and
parked the streets, and improved the grounds until it is
worth $500,000 and offers this all free to the state.
9. The retention of the capital at Oklahoma City means
higher taxes: its removal to Guthrie means lower taxes.
10. Guthrie is one of the finest residence cities of the
state; clean, law abiding and healthful, is reached by
eight railways, has every modern convenience, pure water
in abundance, and the finest mineral waters in America.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.—The |
Rev. Dr. Hugh C. McBride of the Diss
ton Memorial PreBbyterian Church of
Tacony was robbed of a suit case
two weeks ago in a local department
store while he wa^ on his way to At-
lantic City. He made no report of
the loss until today, when he appear-
ed at the det- Uve bureau with a let-
ter signed "A Heart Broken Y oung
Woman," which reads:
"1 read your beautiful Sermon and
was overcome with remorse. People ,
have often told me that 1 had a good
Christian mother but that my father
was a worthlea8 man.
"I never had a chance to learn the
difference between right and wrong,
but when 1 read your sermon on the
t/ext; 'I Lord, -please show me the
right from wrong' 1 decided I did
wrong in taking your suit case.
"Your Atlantic City address was in

paid the storage on the suit case at ;

College avenue.
"I am searching for work and when j
I get enough money I will get your
case and send It to you. If you for-
give me please insert an advertise- :
ment in the newspapers."
Detective O'Drain recovered the suit
case. Doctor McBride said hi sser-
mon had not made any profound im-
pression on his congregation. He
would like to know the Identity of
the young woman so he could get her .
a position. .
