The Democratic primary will be held August 1st.
This will determine who is to be candidate of the Demo-
cratic Party for Governor of this State. The farmers of
Oklahoma have a right to know what their candidates
stand for.
I do not believe a candidate for Governor has a right to
go before the farmers of this State in their present dis-
tressing condition and promise them to do away with all
their ills by law. No one knows better than I just how
desperate the farmer situation is. The boll weevil
wrought ruin to the cotton farmer. The drastic and sud-
den deflation carried the price of wheat to a ruinously
low level, and all of us who have sold livestock in recent
months know the losses which the raiser of livestock has
had to take. I know this because practically everything
I have is invested in farm lands and livestock and I run
my farm on a partnership basis. No one has a right to
seek your vote by promising you everything which they
think you may desire without any reference as to whether
it can be fulfilled or not. I do not want to secure your
vote by false pretenses. I shall promise the farmers of
the State of Oklahoma nothing that I am not fully de-
termined to give them when elected.
There are some things which the State could and
should do to develop agriculture. Cotton and wheat are
our most valuable crops; the boll weevil and the green-
bug are their worst enemies. We have found a pre-
ventative for hog cholera, blackleg and the Texas fever
tick. The State should appropriate funds to aid in
scientific research to combat the boll weevil and green-
bug. As Governor of Oklahoma. I shall insist that this
be done upon a scale w'hich will insure its success, so far
as science can achieve success. I think that all candi-
dates for the Legislature should be fully advised of the
importance of such legislation so that there will be no
hesitation in passing such legislation promptly.
One of the most serious situations the farmer must
confront is the lack of market facilities in this State.
When elected Governor, I shall use my best endeavor to
secure the passage of laws which will encourage and en-
able farmers to form co-operatve marketing associations
and market their products to better advantage.
The State should encourage the building of ware-
houses and elevators. The farmer who so desires should
be enabled to store his products and receive a ware-
house receipt which should be uniform throughout the
State, and which could be used as collateral at his bank.
As Governor of this State, I shall advocate the State
appropriating money for good roads to match the Fed-
eral aid. At present, the County raises a dollar for roads
and the Government gives another dollar. If the State
matches the Counties’ dollar, then the Government would
give two dollars Federal aid money. The farmers of this
State have a right to demand better roads from the farm
to the market.

The adoption of school books should be taken out of
politics. These books should be changed no oftener than
is absolutely necessary for the benefit of the child and
the selection should be made by a Board composed, not
of state officials or politicians, but disinterested persons,
trained in educational affairs. School books should not
cost more in Oklahoma than they do in Arkansas, and
your school books should not carry pages of commercial
advertising. If the big corporations want to advertise
in this state, there are six hundred newspapers ready to
earn.- their copy.
I want to make a positive and definite promise to the
voters of this State. 1 am going to pledge the voters of
Oklahoma that when elected Governor of the State I
shall at once take steps to free the State educational
institutions from the baneful results of party and person-
al politics. It will not be necessary for the head of a
State institution or a teacher to support any candidate
for office in order to hold his or her position. The public
school educational system is the most splendid monument
to American civilization and should not be marred by
being run as the tail of a political kite.
I shall advocate the reduction of taxes in State,
first by the exercise of honesty and rigid economy in
every Department of the State, and second, by placing
on the tax rolls foreign corporations doing business in
this state which now escape taxation thereby making your
burden of taxes greater than it should justly be.
I feel deeply grateful for the support which the farm-
ers of Oklahoma are giving me in every County in the
State. Recently the Oklahoma Farmer Stockman,
through its one hundred solicitors, took a poll through
house to house canvassers. These solicitors operated in
nearly every County in the State. Farmers and their
wives were asked as to their preference for Governor.
This poll shows that 40 per cent of the Democratic farm-
ers are for me. 32 per cent for Walton and 28 per cent for
Wilson. This poll was completed by the 20th of June,
am convinced that if it were to be repeated now. my lead
among the farmers would be materially strengthened.
