AT COST AND LESS.
At the Haskell meeting Wednes
day Judge James Kelly, having
been granted permission to ask
Mr. Haskell a question, inquired
of him why he divided Greer
county. Mr, Haskell's answer was
that there were fifteen members of
the county boundaries committee
and all but he and Luke Roberts
were In favor of dividing Greer
conuty and the majority ruled.
Wouldn't that make Altus wonder
who her friends were when Haskell
denies her?
The nomination of MaJor Mc-
Knight for congress was a wise po-
litical move. No man in all the
Big Fifth district has as large per-
sonal acquaintance as he. no man
has had so much direct business
associations with the home builders
of the fair land of ours than he and
no man stands higher in the estima-
tion of those home-builders than
Major McKnight. They all know
him to be the soul of honor and a
fearless champion of the right.
Many democrats of Greer county
will vote for Major McKnight.
Ik-cause even Democrats are re-
fusing to wear his buttons, C. N.
Haskell is no longer sending them
out. Instead of the buttons bear-
ing the picture of Haskell as the
embodiment of the Constitution,
the Democratic campaign commit-
tee has put out a new device,
Haskell's friends advised thut Has-
kell's pictures were causing trouble
throughout the State. To see the
button on the lapel of a coat made
an argument and arguments are
■aid to be the very things the Has-
kellites are trying to avoid this
year.
•Secretary Taft'* speech at Okla-
homa City Saturday was a surprise
to the hundreds of people that con-
stituted the large audience, in that
the big war secretary showed
such infinite knowledge of the pro-
posed constitution and of the po-
litical situation in Oklahoma. He
paid his respects to Promoter Has-
kell, joked about the president of
the Con. Con. carrying the docu-
ment around so long and brought
many defects of the proposed con-
stitution out ints the light that all
could plainly see them. It was a
masterpiece of criticism and yet
clothed in such plain language
that all could readily comprehend.
The following is from the Ed-
mond Enterprise, a democratic
paper: "Mr. Haskell has a record
of dirty campaigning, mud throw-
ing, vicious attacks and unproven
charges against his opponefits. He be a quitter,
has organized twenty-three(23) cor-
porations in Muskogee and before
coming to this country was a rail-
road promoter. He has fought
labor unions and antagonized far-
mers. He leaves a trail of broken
promises to his friends and crushes
all whom he can in his efforts
to become political boss. His
well-known dirty politics and
treachery make him a dangerous
man in either private or pub-
lic life and he should be left at
home."
nor whom they know to be a dis-
honest political adventurer and a
constitution that is directly against
the interests of the people simply
because Haskell tricked his way in-
to the democratic nomination for
governor. A large majority of the
democratic voters of Little Greer
county at the democratic primary
election voted against Haskell be-
cause he had butchered their be-
loved county of Greer, attempted
to destroy their ecxellent school sys-
tem and done other things directly
against their interests. Their in-
terests now are the same as they
were before the primary election
and those citizens who went to the
primary and voted against Has-
kell should also go to the general
election and vote against him.

Shortly after his inauguration
Governor Frantz was entering his
office, when he noticed a sign
painted on the wall, near the door
which read: "Reception Hours:
Two to Four p. m." The words
had been there many years. Gover-
nor Frantz took one look at them.
"Paint that sign out," he said to
the janitor. ' "It, doesn't matter
much what color of paint you put
on it but fix it ao it can't be read.
My reception hours begin when I
arrive here in the morning and end
when 1 go home at night." There
is nothing that illUs trates the make-
tip of Gov. Frantz better than this
little incident.
What are the people to bolieve
regarding the expressions of the
editor of the Oklahoman? If Can-
Ira N. Terrell was in Mangum
Monday and delivered two speech-
es. He claimed to be simply tell-
ing the tale of his sufferings and
the wrongs done him during the
years he spent in the Kansas peni-
tentiary but as he devoted much
time to denouncing federal courts
and federal officers of Oklahoma,
and republican officials of Kansas,
and praising the Haskell proposed
constitution, it was plain that he
was really a sort of fore-runner of
Haskell, who followed him two
days later. He was blazing the
way for his master. Terrell's case
is a celebrated one. He killed a
man over a homestead in the early
days of Oklahoma. He was tried
several times and was twice sen-
tenced to the penitentiary for life.
His railings have no influence on
honest, law abiding people.
Now that the evidence is in and
has been before the great jury of
the people of Oklahoma, the demo-
cratic candidates and organs that
denounced one another a short time
ago are now lined up together, try-
ing to lay their own sins upon the
republicans--the Oklahoman weak-
ly claiming it was only a little mat-
ter of inconsistency on its part.
If a man should go on the witness
stand and testify under oath that
you were a highway robber and do
all in his power to establish the
allegations in the court, would you
be willing to say, after you were
convicted and he should announce

Dear Sir:—If you can use any money
on very easy terms, for a long or short
term with option to pay a part or all of prin-
cipal each year, we can accommodate yon. We
are home people and will close np papers at
your owa home if you choose. If you wish to
sell, your releases will come promptly as we
expect to deal with you during the life of loan,
nor is there any commission to come out of face
of loan. Unless incumbered, we pay when
papers are closed; when incumbered, we ad-
vance balance, and clear incumbrance ourselves.
We have plenty of money for large or small
loans ready at all times. If we do not treat you
perfectly fair we do not want your loan. Money

renters who pay off the loan that built the
houses. We think we are the promptest.
Phone, write, or call on us.
Yours truly,
