T» The Democrat* of Oklahoma!
The campaign for Congressman •*
Large Is now nearly at an end. I have
traveled over the State from county
to county as raucn as the limited
time at my disposal wouVd permit that
I might let the people know for what
I stand, and 1 have In addition to
this, through the newspaper*, at-
tempted to reach every Democratic
voter In Oklahoma that he might
know what kind of a Democrat I am
and the principles for which 1 stand
before ho casts his ballot.
Now that the campaign is nearly
over I feel absolutely certain that
I will be one of the Democratic nom-
inees, if my friends will but go to
the polls and vote for me. There
are twenty-eight candidates on the
ticket for Congressman at Large, and
when the voter reachee that part of
the ticket which refers to Congress-
men at Large he will find that the
names of the various candidates ap-
pear in the following order:

On August 6th you will
your vote for the ofliesrs of the
County. All Citizens should to to
the polls snd vote for the man
that can and will do the beet ssr-
vice for the State. It is not a per-
sonal affair and all personalities
should be laid aside. The only
question for the voters to decide
is-which candidate can tio the
best service for the state and
vote accordingly.
This is the last issue of the pa-
pers until after the election eo
the voters should look out for
campaign lies the are printed in
the last issue of the papera and
accuse their opponenta of things
when he haa no opportunity to
refute the same.
The candidate that will is
out dope like that on the eve of
the election is not worthy of any
man's vote.
I have been your County At-
torney for the past 18 montns
and you know the results. All
you have to do is to look about
you and use your own eyes and
you can readily see the differ-
ence.
Two years ago booze waa sold
openly and with out an interfer
ence in Jackson County. Gamb-
ling dens were plentiful and
houses of ill-repute were numer-
ous. Slot machines, games of
chance and lotteries were on ev-
ery corner and we were raising
a generation of gamblers. The
Citizens had to bind themselves
together in leagues for protection
and had to make up money by
private subscription to hire spec-
iil prosecution to get the laws
enforced.
The docket was loaded down
with cases when I went into off-
ice and the County in delt
1 tried cases as fsst as possi-
ble and proceeded to clear the
docket of the 120 caaes already
there, besides the capes I filed
myself.
Today the County ia clear and
bootlegger has been done away
with. The gamblers have been
cleared out of the County and
women of ill-repute are not al-
lowed to stay in our County.
There is not a bootlegging
joint nor a gambling dive, nor a
house of ill-fame, nor a slot ma-
chine, nor * game of chance, nor
a lottery in Jackson County to-
day. They hsve all been cleared
up. The old places closed, and
the doors nailed up and cobwebs
over the windows. They stand
monuments to this administra-
tion.
I have reduced the running
expenses of the courts of this
County over $5000 per year since
1 have been in office. Frora July
1910 to July 1911 the expenses
foi running all the courts of this
was*M*****
July lfll to July 19tS the exp
sesof r ll the courts of the Coun-
ty w«»I15J71.1* maldag a dif-
ference of 98MQ.86 far running
all the courts of this county for
one year. The expsnass for next
year will net he half what it is
thia year for we ars not filing
half the casss wa were formerly.
In the paat four months there
been 16 caese originally filed
in the County courts which
makes an average of four
monthr
I have reduced the
of running (he eourtr.
up the county and have not had
private subscription to get the
laws enforced.
Don't vote for me becauae
am your friend but vote for me
becauss I can render the sorvios
for the State.
Remember the conditions your
County waa in two years sgo and
the change that haa taken place
andaee if it ia worth anything
to you to have a clean county in
which to live and tolas your chil-
dren.
Look out for campaign liea
snd political dope and cast your
vote for the man that runs a
clear race and is able to do the
service for the State. Vote for
good of your family for a dean
county, for God and home and
native land and I will be satiafied
with your verdict
Yours truly,
II. L. Hankins.

Prof. T. W. Lanham, writing
in the Eldorado Courier, has the
following to say;-
"The Oklahoma state bank
law is a good law. But ths wsy
it was enforced by Governor Has-
kell and his bank board ia a dis-
grace to the state. The question
naturally ariaes. "Did Haskell
and his board let the bank break-
ers steal thia money, or did they
atcal it themselves? When of-
ficials cannot account for itidney
entrusted to.them, (may we not
suspect thsm of fraud? Who
knows but that the money Has-
kell is now spending so freely in
his race against Senator Owen is
a part of the looted Bank Guar-
antee Fund?"
There is nothing new in the
foregoing and while Mr. Haskell
may poosibly be innocent of the
charges made, hia general re-
cord, if nothing elae, furnishes
grounds for suspicion. But there
is so much circumstantial evi-
dence pointing directly to his
complicity, if not high-handed
action, we might aa well say he
is guilty until proved innocent

The Enterprise is Just completing a
poll of the state on the race tor Con-
gressman at Large. Return cards
were sent to ewery Democratic news-
paper In the state asking that the
blanks be filled Indicating the three
candidates whom It was believed
would receive the highest number of
votes in that locality. The' Editors
were aBked to not allow their own
wishes to Influence the report but to
Just give their unbiased opinion. We
are glijd to state that as the reports
continue to cotne in, the already hand-
eoroe lead of J. B. Thompson of this
city continues to grow. We expected
Mr. Thompeon to lead, but when these
reports Bhow him one*of the three fa-
vorites in ninety per cent ot the differ-
ent localities of the state, It was even
more than we hsd anticipated. Still
ther' should be no surpriss at this.
There is not a man In the state who
has done more tor the Democratic
party than Joe Thompson and the
Democrats seem determined to reward
Jilm with cne of the three position*
as Couuressmatt from the state St
Urge.—Paula Valley Enterprise,
