ins it-
-Your nice letter of September 16,
received for which 1 thank you. You
»ay: 'Let us know what you are go-
ing to do about this, so we can begin
work. So, it seem*, this puts it up to
me; and endeavoring to answer your
question, 1 can perhaps, best do so by
telling you what is, and has been in
my mind for many years.
"My pet hobby for many years has
been to leave as a heritage to my
family one of the prettiest and best
equipped farms in the state of Okla-
homa. and to accomplish this it is my
leal desire to devote my whole time
and energy along that line. That is
why 1 refused to be a candidate to
succeed myself in the state senate in
1016. 1 was getting ulong nicely in
my undertaking when the country
became involved in the world war,
resulting in the inflation of prices,
scarcity of material and labor, with a
righteous demand for every farmer
to concentrate his efforts in produc-
ing food, which caused a suspension
in the work 1 had planned. And in
the great influenza epidemic, with
many doctors in the army, 1 felt
that it was my duty to quit every-
thing else and again devote my whole
time to the practice of medicine, and
all tl.ese conditions arising in so
short u time, completely sidetracked
me. Then too, from a business stund
point, 1 found it expedient to suspend
operations until conditions got buck
to a normal basis, and that was in
fact one of the reasons ulong with a
natural inclination t<* do reforma-
tory work, why 1 accepted the ward
ensliip at the state reformatio).
Since coming here and getting ac
auainted with the work, 1 see a great
opportunity to be of real service to
the state. 1 am free to confess that I
am iniatuated with this work; but
still my greatest ambition is to get
back to my farm and complete my
pet hobby.
"Being acquainted with my oppor-
tunities along this line as you are, I
and knowing ull about the registered
Percheion horses, short-horn cattlu
and Duroc Jersey hogs, which 1 have
been breeding, you can appreciate
why my mind still cling* to Una line
of work. The thought of being a can-
didate for governor, or uny other of-
lice, never entered my mind unUl it
was sprung by my friends in Pawnee
county, and even yet, 1 am not one
bit enthusiastic over the suggestion.
1 naturally love a quiet country home
life, ami 1 expect my loss from being
away froai my farm interests, is real-
ly greater than the compensation
paid me from my services at the
State Reformatory. 1 know from a
business standpoint, it would be un-
wise for me to enter politics. 1 have
on my funn at this time about thirty
Percheron lvorses, u bunch of un-solu
stallions, about a hundred head of
cattle, and over a hundred head of
bogs. The proper care of this stock
requires my personal attention. Be-
sides the ambition to hold office does
not appeal to me as it would to most
men. i always pieter being at home

"rUA.eser, 1 have always taken the
view tnav. any man who lias accumu-
lated sunicient means to support ias
family, si.ould be willing to contrib-
ute a port.on of his time, it needeu, to
the sei vices ot his country in any ca-
pacity required, but 1 tnink that we
base men in almost every county in
the stale who are good material lor
tiovemot.
"It is not necessary for a man to
have any great superior ability in or-
der to uiaae a good governor. He
needs to have a head full ot hard,
common sense, and he must be strict-
ly hone.-t. He should be a man who
will give everybody a square deal,
wheti.ei i>« be millionaire or pauper.
"Agriculture is the source of our
wealth, happiness and prosperity. 1
do not teei that the farmer has been
given an equal chance in tliis great
reconstruction adjustment. He has
been forced to sell most of his prod-
ucts at a loss and to buy his sup-
plies at profiteer prices. In many in-
stances tne railroads take half of his
products for hauling them to market.
Farmers can not long endure such
conditions. The farmers must be en-
couraged and given every fair and
reasonable consideration. But the
people in every business or vocation
of life may as well make up their
minds tnat we must get back to pre
war basis. The days of the profiteer
must be ended.
"The conditions we have just passed
through may be likened to a balloon
ascens.on. If you ro up, you have got j
to come down, and the higher you go I
the further the drop, and the further
the drop, the harder the jar when you |
hit. We have had the flight. We have!
also had the drop and the jar. Now I
we are compelled to exercise good
judgment, industry and the strictest
economy in the nation, state, munici-
und that time. The man who starts
'running' now is liable to become
'winded' before the dash for the fin-
ish. However, as I have said before,
it is encumbant upon every good citi
