NEGRO WOULDN’T SWEAR.
The negro candidate for congress
in the Second distriet who was
brought out and groomed by Ful-
ton’s campaign committee did not
get on the ballot. He would not
swear to his petition. The object
of the Democratic committee was to
try to draw off negro votes from the
Republioan ticket and consequently
brought out s negro. It is said that
the names were written on the pe-
tition by one person and were sup-
posed to be ficitious. This is the
kind of campaign the Fulton manag-
ers have been making. Negro can-
didates and negro affidavits have
been their stock in trade. Tt will
uot win. Those negroes who first
made affidavits stating that they had
been induced by Ferguson to violate
the election law in 1896 have made
affidavits stating that they did not
know the contents of the former
affidavits and that former affidavits
were obtained from them through
fraud and deception and that they
were paid for making them. In
short the Democratic congressional
committee have been guilty of using
perjured negro affidavits. The
negroes themselves swear that their,
former affidavits were false and that
they never violated any eleotton law
and that they were paid for making
false affidavits. What do the people
think of suoh methods? It is al-
ready oosting Fulton many vc$es>

©has. West, Demooratio candi-
date for attorney general, spoke to
a good audienee on the streets in
front of Floyd's Hotel Tuesday
evening. His remarks on railroad
regulation and freight rates were
well received and if he had been
■harp enough to step there ha
might have made some friends, bait
instead of that he brought w that
old Bijgy Man, the negro, ana pro-
ceeded to tell hie hearers that about
the only rapblfoans In the Indian
the respectable
whites were all demoorats seemed
to be the impression he wished to
leave with his audience. That old
"nigger".bogy is too old to soars
the voters wkh in this country.
Evan if Mr< West's "nigger" talk
had left any lasting impression it
■would have been the opposite to
what^ba-intended, for if the voters
really thought there were as many
negroes as he olaimed, the thing to
do wonld be to vote against the
constitution and thus save Okla-
homa from “nigger ^domination."
But of oourse there is nothing to
ail his talk and the voters know it.
The negroes are not so nniperoas
in either the Indian Territory 5^
Oklahoma as to constitute a manse#
to the supremaoy of the white race
and as for their being need as *
corrupting influence in politics the
won to do, as is seen by the dfirty
affidavit fight on Tom Ferguson.
Demoorats wonld do well to keep
that “nigger" bogy in the back-
ground in tbis Motion if they want
the constitution to win. ?
