Work Progressing Very

Promptly
REPUBLICANS
Rail Roaders and Robbers,
How They All Pull
Together
The railroad bill was the worst
bill ever presented to the senate.
It was wholy in the interest of the
railroads and against the shippers
and the people. It authorized
competing railroads to make
ti attic agreements and to merge
and consolidate their entire lines
or systems.
The democrats and insurgent
republicans under the leadership
of LnFollette, Cummins and Gore
struck out the vicious section and
revised the bill iu the interest of
the public.
IN THE HOUSE
When the bill weut to the
house the groat contest was as to
whether the house should concur
in the senate bill and enact a
good law, or whether they should
send the bill to a conference com-
mittee and let the railroads. Can-
non and Aldrich rnin it, restoring
its bad and eliminating its good
features. The contest was fierce.
The railroad presidents were
there. Aldrich wss on the long
distance telephone all day. Every
possible pressure was turned on.
Cannon, Aldrich and the railroad
combine triumphed, Through
the treuchery of four democrats
and the treason to the pnblio in-
terest of 156 republicans the hopes
of the railway combine were grati-
fied and the hopes of the people
were dashed to the ground.
Congressman Ferris and Carter
of Oklahoma stood loyally by the
public welfare. Congressman
McGuire, Creager and Morgan
lined up, as usnal, with Cannon,
Aldrich, the trneta and the rail-
way combine. If three democrats
or tnree real progressive republi-
cans hsd represented these three
Oklahoma districts tie vote would
have bean s tie in the house and
the people might possibly have
beau protected. These three
votes, these three receant public
officials, these three high Tories,
these three Cannou henchman
should be left at home and pat
riots should be sent in their steud.
Taft’s War on Socialism
In his speech at Jackson, Mich
last week President Taft made a
vigorous, premeditated and sig
nificant speech against socialism.
It is the plan and purpose of the
republican leaders to wage a war
of exterminatiou against the soc-
ialists, excepting in Oklahoma,
where the republicans believe
that the growth of the socialists
weakens the democratic and
strengthens the republican party.
They will continue to encourage
socialism and to finance socialist
leaders iu Oklahoma with the
hopo that it will deliver the state
over to the republican stand-
patters, who will in turn deliver
the state over to the coal trusts,
the Standard Oil trust and the
big railway combination.
We do not want to dip the
north pole in the' Red sea and
paint the heuveus a dazzling
crimson talking about the booster
edition the Democrat is corapil*
leg for early publication, how-
ever much we might he so in-
clined, but we want to keep the
idea before our people that the
success of this effort rests largely
with the people of Snyder. A
liberal patronage begets a sense
of enthusiasm, and iu a work of
this kind a certain amount of en-
thusiasm in a necessary adjunct
to stimulate the working force.
The Democrat has tak»n up the
booster edition with the determin*
ation to produce a magazine of
beauty and worthiness, and we
propose to give our people some-
thing they will be proud of for
many months to come,
Mrs, D. D. Haucook returned
Monday evening from Moffat,
Colorado, after a three weeka
stay. She says the ground was
covered with snow out there last
’J uesdsy.
The work of compilingdatn and
other material for the big booster
special soon to be issued by the
Democrat, is moving along very
nicely and smoothly, and we are
pleased to know that our people
are awake and enn appreciate the
magnitude of this effort on our
part to give Ihom a big illustrated
magazine which will be a lasting
and beneficial pictorial review of
the great possibilities of this sec-
tion. This large volume of high
class illustrations, is a relistic
portrayal of the progress and de-
velopment of Hnyder, her advan-
tages, her resources, and will go
out over the nation as a welcom-
ing beacon to guide hence the
homeseeker, and will be one of
the greatest incentives to stirau
late the tide of immigration this
way ever sent out from Snyder.
Mr. Leo Masou whom we have
secured to look niter the vasi
detail work, lias been busy with
the work several days and he ex-
presses tho opinion that it will bo
one of the prettiest and most ela-
borate town boosting publication
ever issued from any town in the
state, boosting our town indi-
vidually, Wo warn every busi-
ness institution in the precincts
of Snyder represented in the ad-
vertising columns of the book, fo r
without the co-operation of ou»
business men a work of this class
would be impossible. Whether
you take a largo advertising space
or a small space, we want you to
uot overlook the idea, and get in
the pages. Lets all pull together
and do something unusual as
boosters.
Lee Cruce Speaks Here
Hon. Lee Cruce, democratic candi-
date for governor, spoke here Tues-
day evening.
The “Odeon" was Ailed and many
persons could not get in to hear him.
Mr. Crece’s first statement was that
he wished his hearers to know that ha
stood for the present state govern-
ment and he knew that the affairs of
state had boon wisely and economically
conducted. He spoke in favor of the
sale of the coal lands, the taxation
of the Indian lands and tho enact-
ment into the law of the Grandfather
Clause; he was against the Torrent
Land System. His speech was well
received and he made many new
friends here.
