NOTICE TO PATRONS.
With this issue of The News-Herald
the offices and business of the paper
will vacate the old News office on
Oklahoma and Main and the paper
will be printed and Its business and
circulation departments will be tem-
porarily located at the former Herald
office on Broadway and Ninth. This

at our new location at Main and
Beard streets all the business of
both offices will be concentrated
there.
We are going to ask the business

patience and forbearance during the
next week or ten days for this thing
of moving two printing offices into
a new location and publishing a
newspaper at the same time, is about
the most strenuous and complicate i
task thut could tall to the lot of
ordinary people and the paper may be
a little late and lacking in some other
particulars We will be fixed to me-4t
evt *y requirement, however, when
we lo get moved and in proper
runrlng shape and tfce work will be
acco nplished as rapidly as expert
workmeu can accomplish it.

POULTRY INTEREST GROWING.
Oignohct
There is the beginning of big
things in the way of increasing the
poultry Industry in this state in the
large number of important poultry
shows that have been held and that
are to be held in many sections of
the state during the coming month.
In no year in our history has so
much interest been taken in poultry
raising and in poultry exhibition and
in poultry exhibitions and every show
so far held has been a record
breaker.
There are still three big shows
to be held and one of them is the
great state show at Muksogee dur-
ing the third week in January. The
eastern Oklahoma show begius at
Tulsa next week aud the Oklahoma
City show will como between these
two. Certainly this activity will
mean much for the development of
this money-making, money-saving
industry which is yet in its infancy in
Oklahoma.
Some one said a long time ago, in
•peaking about moving a printing of-
fice, that "three moves was as bad
as a fire." Wo are already aware of
the fact that one move of two plants
is Just about as expensive as a fire?
and equally as trying on the nerves.
The News-Herald, however, expects
to become a fixture when it gets
into its new quarters and to have
sufficient floor space to accommo-
date every department of news, book
and job plant for the next ten years.
With all the aid of the energetic
newspaper crowd In Oklahoma City,
the political and educational marplots
who are fighting the schools of the
state and the Board of Education,
were unable to lug any of their kind
of politics into the meetings of the
State Teachers' association which
closed its sessions last evening In
Oklahoma City. The most active and
influenctlal members of the Stato
Board, and practically all the teach-
ers and leading school men of the
state set their faces against using
this great meeting for partisan pur-
poses or as an occasion for the dis-
appointed ones to air their griev-
ances, and tho people of Oklaho-
ma, without regard to politics, will
applaud the sane and sensible action
of the teachers in resisting the bland-
ishment and wiles of the fellows who
wanted merely to use them to pro-
mote their own schemes or to help
them get revenge.
Just the same this year's hard
times and agitation over high taxes
Is going to make it hard sledding for
any candidate who cannot read his
title clear to a past record of econ-
omy and upright dealing in public
affairs. It will be the toughest sea-
son ever experienced by the dema-
gogue and politjcal quack for the
people are both sore and suspicious
and have made up their minds to
find some remedy for the ills of
vrhich they complain. Palar and
gush won't buy a candidate anything
this year and he will not be able to
rely very heavily on his party serv-
ice or the old gag about Imbibing
his political principles with his moth-
er's milk. This is an age when too
many babies are raised on the bottle
to make that stall stand up even if
the people weren't determined to
throw more personal interest into
selecting their candidates.

Campbell Russell is doing the right
thing in pushing the prosecution of
the man who confessed that he was
guilty of fraud in securing signers
to an initiative petition to oust the
Board of Agriculture, and the Board
should Join him with hearty vigor
in making an example of this new
kind of a criminal who would de-
stroy the faith of the people in the
weapon which was iuvented to pro-
tect them in their control of govern-
ment.

some unlooked for trials to the un-

ordinary amount of sympathy with
them.

ness and circulation departments will

CHIP CLARK
AT M'ALESTER
(Continued from Page One)
fourteen schedules as they had time
for. He said that revision of a sched-
ule at a time prevented logrolling
He admitted that the bills would
not be exactly the same as those ve-
toed by the president at the special
session, since new information has
come to the ways and means commit-
tee as to some of the items.
He said that the house would con-
tinue to reduce the tariff vetoes or
no vetoes and that it would stand
by the people with the confident
hope that the people would stand by
the house and the democratic candi-
dates next fall.
Referring to the veto of the bills
of the special session he said that
tho president had the right consti-
tutionally to exercise it. But he said
that the king of Englnnd had the
right to exercise the veto but none
had dared to do it in 200 years. He
said that the first king who did ex-
ercise it would be the last king of
England, Just as he predicts that
President Taft will be tho "last
standpat republican president of the
United States."
He said that the bills passed by
the house would have saved the
American people $27.50 per family
or an aggregato of $500,000,000 a
year. He said the average family,
with a $420 income, could use that
$27.50 in its business.
Ho said that he had never missed
a time during his entire career to
take a rap at the high tariff and
that he never would miss such a
chance.
He said that the reason he favor-
ed the promotion of aviation was
chat with flying machines war would
come to an eud and that the tariff
would have to be wiped out, for you
couldn't catch a man to make him
pay a tariff when he could fly.
He waded into the Payne-Aildrich
tariff bill and criticised the presi-
dent for his speech about Aldrich in
Massachusetts. He said that it was
like waving a red flag In the face
of a field full of mad bulls
He then declared the Winona
speech the most unfortunate ever
made by an occupant of the white
house. Commenting on the presi-
dent's recent explanation that the
Winona speech was dictated on a
train between stations he said that
he didn't think the stations were
very far apart, elthjfc
He said that 24 experts of the
treasury department after long fig-
uring had decided that the Payne-
Aldrich bill reduced the tariff 4.">
hundredths of one per cent. He said
that one expert, an Arkansas school
teacher, had figured on it six hours
and found that it really increased
the tariff 1.71 per cent and taht no-
body had ever arisen to dispute his
figures and that they had been ac-
cepted by the secretary of the treas-
ury.
He said that the president was
nearer right than he had ever been
when he declared that the Payne-
Aldrich bill was only a "partial re-
demption of republican platform
pledges." But he ' couldn't undar-
staud how he later came to say tha'.
it was the best tariff bill ever put
on the statute books. Mr. Clark
said that that was going some.
Personally he thought it was the
worst tariff law, because the high-
est. Ho said that his sentiments
were conveyed by the placard put on
the back of a man lynched in Mon-
tana in an early day. It read: "He
was a very bad man in some re-
spects and a damn sight worse in
others."
He said that with the tariff con
taining 4,.100 items it is impossible
to discuss the subject fully at a
single meeting. He said that som
time it would be a good idea to hold
protracted tariff meetings Just as
the preachers hold protracted re-
ligious meetings.
Agreeing with the old Kentuck;
doctor that the most sensitive nerve
in the human body is the one that
leads to the pocketbook, he endeav-
ored to tell the crowd how much
money they were paying to protect-
ed manufacturers. He said that
when the money went into such
pockets the eagle on it sang: "Fare-
well, vain world, I'm going home."
He said that each of the 4,000
American articles ou which there is
a tariff is sold abroad more cheap-
ly than it is at home.
He said that this statement was
once denied, called a He, which is
the easiest answer in debate, pro-
vided you are at a safe distance
from the other fellow. Later b<
said that It was argued that t .
articles were shop-worn or out-of-
date patterns, but when it was shown
that even steel rails were so sold
John Dalzell, the ablest republican in
the house and an honest man, ad
mitted the charge and explained t.u;
it was the surplus.
Mr. Clark did not give even th«
gist of Mr. Dalzell's aigume t oi
this point but said that a benight*
democrat wanted to know why the
surplus was not sold to home folki
at the cheap price.
He illustrated with woolens,
shoes, hats, gloves, farm Implements,
sewing machines and typewriters.
He said that anybody except a
postmaster or federal officeholder
who would keep voting for such an
iniquity did so only from habit.
He said that such a voter is bad
as old Dr. Samuel Johnson, who ex-
plained why he did not marry the
widow he had called on every night i
for twenty years. Tho doctor said
that if he married her he wouldn't '
have any place to go to spend his
evenings.
He declared some of the "infant"
industries quite lusty and old as the
government. He told a story of a
big, raw-boned, hot-headed fellow in
Arkansas who was running after a
woman, crying. He asked a strang-
er if he had seen the woman pass.
The stranger had and asked what
was 'the matter.
"O, nothing, except she's my ma,
and she is trying to wean me, and I
don't want her to."
Mr. Clark said that it was time
to wean some of the infant indus-
tries of this country, whether they
liked it or not.
In discussing the reasons why
the democrats got control of the
house In the 1910 elections, he said
they had made six specific promises,
each of which they had faithfully
fulfilled, in so far as the senate and
the president would let them.
These were the revision of the
rules of the house, the publication
of campaign contributions in ad-
vance of the election, an amend-
ment for the election of United
States senators by a popular vote,
economy In administration of gov-
ernmental affairs, the admission of
two states, Arizona and New Mexi-
co, and the levision of the tariff
downward.
He said that the Missouri law
limiting the amount of expenditures
of a candidate, with the provision
that the second man should be de-
clared elected, on proof that his suc-
cessful rival had exceeded the limit
while he had not, had reduced the
expenditures fifteen-sixteenths.
He said that in England in Burke's
day a man had spent what was
equivalent to $ 1004)00 for an elec-
tion to a seat in the house of com-
mons. He said that last year a man
with a majority of 2500 back of him
was unseated because his mother had
given-a dinner to twelve electors.
Mr. Clark declared that if England
could do this, America could and
that eventually a poor man could
run for office.
He declared that the democratic
members of the house had surprised
themselves and dumbfounded their
enemies by their conduct In the
special session-
He said that the republicans seem
to be hopelessly split and that the
chance of winning in 1912 is good,
but he warned his fellow democrats
against over-confidence. He said
that this sounded like funny advice
to democrats but that it is the sort
that Is needed now.
Given a Royal Reception.
Mr. Clark will have no occasion
to conplaln of the treatment he re-
ceived in McAlester. Not only was
he given a really remarkable crowd,
for the time and the kind of day it
was, but the audience was obviously
friendly and very responsive.
After he arose in the sleeper he
was greeted by part of the reception
committee and was taken to the Bus-
by hotel, where he held an informal
reception.
There were many former Missou-
rians among those who gathered to
meet him.
After the speaking he was given
a luncheon at one o'clock at the
Busby hotel, at which over a score
sat down.
After this, being a 32nd degree
Mason, the Masons took charge of
his entertainment and he was shown
'through the temple.
A committee of fifteen or twenty
prominent citizens came down from
Muskogee on the flyer to accompany
him to Muskogee, where he speaks
tonight.
The afternoon train was delayed
some time, lengthening his stay
here.
The stage and most of the boxes
were occupied by members of the
committee on arrangements and re-
ception.
The only banner was that of the
newly organized Champ Clark club
of Krebs. He bowed his acknowl-
edgement to the standard bearer.
But when Mr. Whitman Introduced
him to the crowd as the next presi-
dent of the United States, Mr. Clark
Ignored the prediction entirely.
