EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Democracy of tho state is woll
oig-aited and prepared for battle.
Hukell's suit will unearth the own
erekip of the Oklahoma City Times
for sure.
However the Oklahoma City Times
is not gaining any recruits to tho ite-
jmbllcan tuso by downright lying.
Chairman Thompson has proven a
capable leader and Democracy Is
-willing for him to romaln at tho head
of tho atato commlttoc.
The seeming lack of interest In tho
campaign may not Indicate that tho
peopio arc npaiiiouc: rainor u may
lie that they are determined.
Tho Republican press ts nesporate.

rrlpplo tho stato administration it
now resorts to diabolical lying.
An English farmor has beon award-
ed a prko of $20 for raising a lamtly

of $3.75 a wook and without onco
drawing on tho poor fund. Tho ques-
tion now comes what will bo do wltn

J AWFUL DEATH LIST.
J The Oklahoma City Times accord

a destroyer of llfo ns great iib any

It announces that It has killed "off"
Governor Charles N. Haskell. It Iclllod
"off" Speaker Murray four times;
now bringing him back from tho
Times-grave to aid In killing others.
The Times confesses tho killing
"off" of lieutenant Governor Oeoigo
Bellamy.
The TlnieB confesses same act and
finish aB to Davenport to Fulton to
Johnston and also. If c mistake not
to Gore and Owen.

There Is a remedy and that Is to

men who disobey the law and seek
to provo their superior dealings with

"Wo disapprove and condemn tno

date for president In going to Num-
ber Two Wall street and securing the
services of George R. Sheldon to fry
tho fat oul of the Wall street Inter-
ests for campaign purposes is en-
tirely dignified In every respect no
doubt. Bryan Is undlgnllicd nnougli
to ask the Qominon people to furnish
tho money nocessary to conduct ms
campaign for president. Taft is dig-
nified enough to ask the stock gamb-
lers of Wall street and the protected
interests that have long fattened ott
an unjust tariff schedule to furnish
the money to defray the expenses of

ELEVENTH HOUR REPENTANCE.
"And wlion.th cdovil was sick tno

the Hquo" keeper' and sympathizer in
ho proposed state was Induced to sup-
port tho l.cpubllcan nominee for gov-
ernor in tho first stato election tho
liepubllcan party of Oklahoma has
finally discovered its mistake nnd Its
platform udoptcd at Okiuhoma City
last week makes nn open bid for tho
support of tho prohibitionists. "Tho
Republican party flrbt provided for a
prohibitory liquor law In tho provis-
ions ot tho enabling act by which tho
sinto was admitted in tho Union or
tho slate." boldly declares the latest
deelaratlo not Republican principles
Iu Oklahoma. Now wouldn't that Jar
you? How does It happen that tho
Republican party In convention a.
Tulsa when thoy nominated tholr Hist
state tlckot didn't happen lo discover
that tho Republican party first provid-
ed ft prohibitory law fon Oklahoma '
Why was It If tho Republican purty
first provided n prohibitory law for
Oklahoma that tho Republican stato
committee and tho Citizens' league
formed for the oxpross purpose or

pother hand nnd glovo for tho defeat
