To the voters of the Fifteenth Sena
torial District of Okla ioma:
I am a candidate fur the State Sen
ate from the rmeemn senatorial
District of Oklahoma composed of
Grady and Caddo counties subject t..
the action of the Democratic Party
and as it will be impossible for ma to
see all the voters personally I take
this method of making known my
views on some of the questions that
will present themselves to the legis-
lature of the new state and believe
that every candidate for such a posi-
tion should let the people know what
his position is on these questions.
I have been a resident of Chick
asha Indian Territory for three
and one-half years ai.d I understand
thoroughly the conditions and needs
of the country.
I am a democrat from principle. In
every government there are two par
ties with different theories of govern
ment one for the classes and the
other for the masses. I believe that
the Democratic party 13 the party in
this country for the masses of the
people as against the special classes
and I believe that all government der
ives its just power from the consent
of the governed.
T am in sympathy with the Constit
ution of the new state and believe it
will prove to be the nearest approach
to an ideal fundamental law that has
ever been written for a state. It re
cognizes the individual rights of th
people and reflects the wishes of the
people of the new state as expressed
by the vote of the election last Nov
ember. The pledge of the Democrat
ic party has been redeemed. The In
itiative and Referendum places the
power of legislation in the hands of
the people.
I favor the sale of the school lands
of Oklahoma to the highest bidder
with preference right cf purchase to-
lessee and when lesseee is purchaser
he to have credit for original bonus
I favor a law for convict labor to
be used on public roads to the end
that good public highways be estab-
lished and that convict labor may not
come into conflict with free labor.
I favor separate cars separate
schools and separate waiting roon
for the whites and blacks.
I am in favor of the state purchas
ing the coal lands and other mineral
lands of the Indian Tribes and the
sale of 'the. surface of.su.-h lands to
actual fcUiittf tnrit tiO Ji;ti V : "
cwm the farm .i.!iril work th? fan
and not the farmer. I airther favor
the leasing of the mines and placing
of the proceeds from the sain of the
surface and lhs rents of the mines to
the crojit of the school fund.
I favor the taxation of all railroads
nnd other Corporate property on a
basis of its value as provided by the
constitution and &im favor tne lax-
ntwt of all private car companies that
do business in Oklahoma.
The farmers of the two territories
were forced to take from fi-e cents to
twenty cents less per busucl for their
grain la.t year because of the failure
of railroads to furnish cars prompt-
ly zvi because they have to pay
an excessive rate. T V loss to the
farmer amounted to several million
dollars as shown by statistics. I
favor as a remedy for this evil which
would bankrupt the farmer a law
giving the corporation commission
power to fix rates and also a recip-
rocal demurage law requiring the rail-
roads to pay for their falure to fur-
nish cars in order that railroads shall
be forced to furnish cars promptly
and move freight with promptness
and facility.
i shall favor a law against trusts
and combines that will banish them
from the state. - '
I want to see this part of the new
state have some of the state institu-
tions.' I have lived on a farm the most of
my lifo and with such environments I
could not be otherwise than in sym-
pathy with the masses of the people
who are composed of farmers in this
country.
I ask that beforo you cast your vote
that you make Investigations of my
character and ability to tako care of
the interests of the people of this
district and cast your vote accord-
in ply.
I fully realise the importance of
t.h cilice and if elected I shall try to
pro'' woith of the Important trust
committed to my care.
Very respectfully submitted this
the 24th day of April 190?.

fate of Oklahoma at the primaries
be held May 23rd 1907 and in
iew of the fact that C. N. Haskell
took an active part in the organiza
tion of the Citizens Alliance at Mus
kogee in the spring of 1903 and saiu
organization was for the purpose of
isrupting and destroying the unions
f Muskogee which were organized
for the purposes of securing better
wages and conditions that their wives
and children might have the necessi-
ties of life.
Be it resolved that we the Chick
asha Trades and Labor Assembly
condemn the action taken by the
Muskogee Citizens Alliance in trying
to destroy our sister organizations at
Muskogee whose welfare is ours and
be it further resolved that in view of
the fact that C. N. Haskell took an
active part in organizing the Alliance
and was chairman of said Alliance
and also made some bitter speeches
against organized labor that we ask
our brothers all over the great state
of Oklahoma not to support or vote
for C. N. Haskell and to use every
honorable means to defeat him at the
democratic primaries.
"And be it further resolved that
if C. N. Haskell receives the nomi
nation for governor at the hands of
the democratic party we the labor
unions of Chickasha will use every
means in our power to aeieat nis
election at the general election to be
held in August 1907.
"Also we denounce Dave Hill for
the action he has taken toward or-
ganized labor.
"Therefore we denounce any man
who offers as a candidate for any of
fice until he has shown a clean record
as a union man.

An Appeal to the City Trade of Chick-

and Clerks
We want to ask the good people of
Chickasha to do as much of their
trading during the week a3 possible
thereby leaving Sattr"'ay for the
farmers and the people who cannot
get to the stores any other time. The
best time to trade is in the morning

The city people Will find that if
they adopt the plan of trading during
the ww'k and trading in the morning
as much as . possible th
much more satisfactory service.
Summer i coming on and the girls j
standing bHiind the counters for 15
hours during the hot weather as they
have been compelled to do on Sat-
urday; is extremely injurious to
their health. ' la addition to the long
hours they wait on about three times
as many customers as on any other
day. The government is making
eight hours a work day with all kinds
of labor on all public work. The
salespeople work ten to twelve hours
every day and fifteen on Saturday.
Don't you think they are entitled to
some consideration? If every man
and women in Chickasha will give
the above their earnest consideration
and do their buying during the week
and in the mornings as much as pos-
sible; they can make conditions a
great deal better both for the stores
and themselves. Wont you help us?

Guthrie Okla. April 30 The an-
nouncement that the anti-prohibition-ists..
were organizing to oppose the
constitution on account of the prohi-
bition provision to be separately sub-
mitted has occasioned a counter
movement which if maintained will
result in a. greater vote for the pro-
vision than would otherwise be given
it. It was learned today word had
gone out from democrats who are lor
the constitution but normally opposed
to prohibition that any attempt to
arouse negative sentiment because the
question was being submitted to the
voters would result in their support-
ing the campaign for its adoption.
Prohibition for the Indian Terri
tory for twenty-one years from the
time the state is admitted was a feat
ure of the enabling act and the mat
ter to be voted upon Aug. 6 is whether
the prohibitory law shall be state
wide in its application. This ques
tion is to be placed on the same bal
lot with that for and against the con-
stitution so that every opportunity is
afforded for them to be considered to
gether as a matter independent of the
state election. It would not be true
however under this arrangement that
every vote for the constitution meant
a vote for the prohibition amendment.
While there has not been much op-
position expressed by the anti-prohi
bitionists the adverse feeling strong
ly exists and it is expected their
campaign will take lieSnite shape im
mediately following the proclamation
for election.
In this connection democratic lead
ers long since announced that the pro
hibition question would have to be
taken care of indeperdent of the party
which was virtually the stand of the
democratic caucus the constitution-
al convention when it voted that pro
hibition was not a party issue and
allowed the proposition to rest on its
nerits before the delegates. Ttie re-
taliatory .movement referred to has
not yet assumed party proportions.
but is rather the expression of in
dividual sentiment.
