McAlester Oka Nov. 2. Standing
beneath a canopy of electric lights and
bunting on a -McAlester street last
night Lee Cruce faced an audience
of 40oo people that cheered him to an
echo. It was an ovation the like of
which was never tendered a man of
any jxjitical party in Eastern Okla-
homa. The meeting here last night termi-
nated three hours of the fastest most
effective and most enthusiastic cam-
paigning ever known in this the
thickly settled coal belt of Oklahonra.
j Arriving late In the afternoon from
Wagoner on a belated train Mr. Cruce
1 was met at the station by 200 citizens
and a band from krebs. A few min-
utes later two large electric cars bear
ing the party pulled out of McAlester
for liartshorne. sixteen miles away.
As the two trains passed through th.;
mining camps cheers from miners and
laborers greeted the candidate at every
hand. At liartshorne 250 voters were
assembled on the street despite the
fact that V. was then supper hour.
Former Slate Mine Inspector Pele
Hanraty now mayor of McAlester in-
troduced the democratic nominee.
Mr. Cruce dealt largely with' the la-
bor question and the relation of the
democratic party in Oklahoma to or-
ganized labor tracing briefly the his-
tory of legislation that met the de-
mands of labor.
He asserted that the only way iur
:he laboring man to ascertain which
of the two great parties stood f:;r i.i"ir
Interests was to read their platforms.
The republican platform he said
merely declared "the republican pl'ty
has ever stood for the friend of the
laborer and the farmer."
This. Mr. Cruce asserted wa-i in di
rect contact with the history of the it-'
publican party both nationally and in j

Oklahoma City Nov. 2. In behalf
of the proposition submitted by the
last legislature to substitute another
section S article 9 for the present sec- j
i
tion of that number In the state con-
stltutkin the Chamber of Commerce of j
this city has sent out the following ap-!
peal to voters : j
To the Voters of Oklahoma: !
The last regular session of the state
legislature with practical unanimity
submitted to be voted upon at the
forthcoming general election a proposi-
tion to adopt a new section 9 article
of the state constitution. This was
done in ihe belief that the present
section is an unnecessary ban on new
railroad building in the state a view
supported by every man of affairs who
has made an Investigation of the sub-
ject. Many such men opposed the
amendment submitted by petition last
June believing it was too favorable to
the railroads but favor the one sub-
mitted by the legislature to be voted
upon November 8.
This proposition not only had the
support of the best thought of the leg-
islature after the matter had been pre
sented but of Governor Haskell who in
a letter to the people published June
1 of this year used the following lan-
guage; T believe that seclon !) article 9 of
the constitution can safely be re-
pealed. There is already
pending a provision submitted by our
state legislature to be voted upon at
the general election next November
and this provision if adopted
at the November election could be vi-
talized by the legislature in regular ses-
sion next winter and in my opinion
would substantiallly remove what is
contended now embarasses the promo-
tion of interstate railroads. This ques-
tion will be upon the ballots at the No-
vember election and with the proper
consideration I have no doubt It can bo
adopted." .......
This language was used by the gover-
uod in In advising against the amend-
ment voted upon last June and favoring
the one to be voted upon In November.
The corporation commission is also
recorded as favoring the proposition
submitted to the November election.
When bitterly opposing the Carter
amendment last spring contending that
it would curtail powers of the commis-
sion Jack Love chairman of the com-
mission said In a public letter publish-
ed May loth:
"The man who honestly wants to re-
peal article 9 section 9 and not turn
the state and its resources over to tho
railroads will vote in favor of the
amendment to be voted on In Novem-
ber. The man who wants to
remove this ban and stop there will
vote for this legislative amendment in
the November election."
We call attention to these things to
show that ' objections against the
amendment voted upon last June do
not lie against the present proposition1
and to show that tho legislature the
governor and the corporation commis-
sion a swell as men of affairs all over
the state who are familiar with the sub-
ject are agreed that it should be ad-
opted. . ..
While perhaps some railroad men
may oppose it on .the ground that k
leaves the state in control through the
courts we believe that the people of
the state are satisfied with the propo-
sition submitted by the legislature and
we urge every citizen to cast his vr.te
in favor of the amendment on Novem-
ber 8th. All industrial and commercial
organizations especiallly.VhouId see to
it that the amendment is carried for
In our opinion no more Important mat-
ter concerning future development of
the state can ever come before the
people for a decision. .

said: "Women have a potent influence i had the money and started campaign-
in all matters and are of more sensi-
tive conscience and unerring instinct
than men. I would like to see them
in a position where their influence is
recorded."
The senator urged the training of
the children of Oklahoma to presei ve

clared that no one was better able to
take up this -work than the women's
clubs.
The session was presided over by
the president .Mrs. John Threadgill or
Oklahoma City. Mayor McGarr made
a brief address welcoming the visitors
to the city. He was followed by Ho-

Elks. Mrs. F. M. Davis welcomed the
delegates in behalf of the club women

"It is pleasing to note that this con-

but rather of wisdom" said Mrs.
Hume. 'I hope other districts will

resolutions that no woman should
