LEE CRUCE ANNOUNCES FOR
GOVERNOR.
I hereby announce myself a candi-
date for'tin- office of governor or
Oklahoma, subject to the action of
the democratic party. In making
this announcement I feel it incumbent
upon me to define my position upon
certain important questions in which
the voters of the state are vitaHy in-
terested. In fulfilling this purposa
1 shall endeavor to make ray state
ment as concise as possible, nor shall
I endeavor to discuss every question
likely to be discussed during the
campaign. To do «o would make
this letter tediously long.
The Constitution.
Practically two years of severe
test of the constitution of Oklahoma
has thoroughly demonstrated the fact
that it is the best constitution that
has yet been written. It has suc-
cessfully withstood the criticism and
attacks of its enemies ana today has
more defenders and advocates than
at any previous time. It recognizes
the rifcht of the individual citizen and
refuses to surrender or subordinate
those rinhts to the demands of com-
mercialism. While it stands as the
fundamental law of the state, and is
observed and obeyed by those in au-
thority, there is vouchsafed to our
people good laws and honest gov-
ernment.
Indian Affairs.
I favor a speedy, complete and final
settlement of the affairs of the In-
dian tribes in this state. All unal-
lotted lands should be disposed and
with all the moneys now held by the
1'nited States government, should be
distributed among those entitled to
receive the same. The department of
the interior should be encouraged
withdraw its blighting hand from the
admhiistration of the affairs . of our
Indian citizenship and leave those
people unhampered in tiie race of
life
Coal and Asphalt Lands.
The best interests of the Indian
and of the state demand, that in dis-
posing of the segregated coal and
asphalt lands the surafce lie divorced
from the mineral rights. The agri-
cultural lands should be sold to ac-
tual farmers in tracts not exceeding
one hundred and sixty acres, thus
insuring the greatest development of
that portion of the state where these
lands are located. The coai and as-
phalt underlying these lands should
be sold separately so as to yield the
greatest value to tiie Indians who own
them. In thjs connection 1 will 'say
that I am decidedly opposed to the
efforts being made by certain leaders
araonu the Indians and paid attor-
neys to dispose of the coal and as-
phalt properties to the state of Okla-
homa at an extravagant price. No
contract for the sale of these prop-
erties to the state should become ef-
fective until same has Iltst been sub-
mitted to iuid ratified by a vote • f
the qualified voters of the state.
Taxation.
I favor the observance of all law.
Hy an act of congress all lndiau
lands from which restrictions have
been removed are made taxable, ind
In observing that law the officers of
Oklahoma are but doing their plain
duty when they levy and collect taxes
from all such land£. Personally !
believe thA every person in rhr -t.iio:
HfMn whom ha.s been eont vrv<.l i.ti
the rights aud privileges of citizen-
ship, lias had imposed uponMu:, :lao,
the burdens and duties of- cltisortshlp.
and while he enjoys the ou« he should
bear the other. There is no so:i of
condition or logic that will justify
exempting from taxation the proper'
of one class or our citizenship simply
because of idee distinction. 'Hitherto
in this state there has been no con-
flict between the white race and t.ie
Indian race. They have been re-
ceived upon a plane of absolute equal-
ity in all matters social'and "political.
The surest way to bring au end t&l
these pleasant and much to be de- J
sired conditions, and precipitate rac
ceives In salary. I favor a reduction
in the appointive official force of the
state to the lowest number consist-
ent with good and efficient govern-
ment.
Agriculture and Labor.
The agricultural interest of the
state is now and for many years will
continue to be, the dominating inter-
est in the state. Any laws that can
be enacted that will tend to encour-
age development cf the state along
agricultural lines should meet with
the approval as the support of every
Tood citizen In the state. In propor-
tion as the farmers of the state pros-
per in such proportion can be meas-
ured the prosperity of the state as a
whole. I am firmly convinced that
there cad be no lasting prosperity in
this state that is not built upon thoi
prosperity of the farming and labor-1
'ng classes of our citizenship. Be-j
lieving this I favor the passage of
every fair and just law that will tend
to their good.
Interest and Usury.
No people can be permanently
prosperous that continues to pay ex
ort)itant rates of interest. The in
loaning of money a fixed business,
by charging exorbitant rates of in-
terest, does itself as ereat an Inlurv
it does the borrower, he people
of Oklahoma are entitled to have the
constitution vitalized by the pas-
sage of a usuury law in keeping with
the progressive spirit of our citizen-
ship.
Public Schools.
Oklahoma has a splendid public
school system, and her citizenship is
thoroughly imbued with the educa-
tional spirit. In the interest of still
greater efficiency in our public school
system I believe the state should pro-
vide a fund, which, added to the
rental on school lands and the in-
terest on our invested school fund
will be sufficient to give each dis-
trict school in the state not less than
a five months school. By this
method alone can be insured to every
child in the state a common school
education, an dentil we have made
this provision for the education of
tho children we have \ not done ou
full duty. Wherever it. is Couudn
practical I l'avor the consolidation of
rural schools In order mat the child-
ren residing in the country districts
may have the benefits of a high
school education.
Concentration of Power.
I am opposed to the concentration
of power in the hands of the few as a
principle thoroughly antagonistic to
our free institution. The three de-
partments of our government should
remain distinct and no encroachment
of the one upon the rights and pow-
ers of the other should be tolerated.
Even so with all elective offices,
whether iii the same or in different
branches of the state government.
Banking.
Oklahoma is the first state in the
Union passing an effective banking
law guaranteeing deposits. The Ok-
lahoma banking law in many essei
tials is an advance over all previous
.baiwing laws. The provision for-
bidding loans to active officers of the
bank, the provision preventing over-
drafts, the prevision limiting th > j
amount of real estate a bank is per-
mitted to own, the provision allow-'
ing loans on real estate, the provi-s- j
ion requiring all officers to give bono.'
the provision limiting the amount oi l
deposits in proportion to the capital
ot the bank, are each and ail ia -!
provements upon the national banking,
law. Added to these is the guaran-l
tvV feature of the law which is itsj
distinctive merit. In the recent se-
vere test given the banking law b.\ !
reason of the failure of the Columbi t
Bank «V Trust <*o. of Oklahoma City,'
every claim of its advocates was tul)>
vindicated, while its most violent op- '
ponents were compelled to admit that
the principle of insuring deposits isi
sound. That failure, however, has'
demonstrated the fact that the law

"The Cat and the Fiddle," the new
musical extravagance will come to tho
Wichita Theater. Thursday, Novem-
ber 25, at Wichita Falls, Texas. ;t
is claimed that this attraction is an
elaborate novelty, the characters ba-
ing entirely new to the stage in many
instances. The play takes its name
from the old Mother (Joose fable and
delights both old and young. , "Tin
Cat" is a stage impersonation, bein
one of the funniest and interesting
bits of pantomine acting witnessed in
a long time. Chas. A. Sellou, th
El More Sisters, heresa iMiller, Flor-
ence Willis and many other well-
known stage favorites, together with
large and beautiful chorus, are
promised.
A clergyman writes. "Preventics,
those little Candy Cold Cure Tablets
are working wonders in my pariah.'
Prevunttcs surely will check a cold,
or the Grippe, in a very few hours.
And Preventics are so safe and
harmless. No quinine, nothing
harsh nor sickening. Fine for fev-
erish restless children. IJox of 48

It isn't so difficult to strengthen
a weak Stomach if one goes at it
correctly. And this is true of the
Heart and Kidneys. The old fash-
ioned way of dosingt the Stomach or
stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is
surely wrong! Dr. Shoop ' first
pointed out this error "Go to the
weak or ailing nerves of these or-
gans, said he. Each inside organ
has its controlling or "inside nerve."
When these nerves fail then those
organs must surely falter. This
vital truth is leading druggists ev-
erywhere to dispense and recom-
mend Dr. Shoop's Restorative. A
few days test will surely tell. Sold
